Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom is pictured on the floor begging God to forgive the sins of the people of the state.

This happened today at a service to mark the end of a two-week compulsory fasting and prayers, held at the IBB Square in Makurdi, the state capital.

He said God told him the difficulties faced in the state was due to the sins of the people, hence the prayer.

The state is passing through tough times, workers have not been paid for 4-5 months with no completed project after one year, but Governor Ortom says there is hope as he attempts to recover looted funds from the past administration worth N107bn.

No be only him o!

Eh ya. When u know ur God can not answer prayer.

What's the problem of all these mentally lazy administrators, mocking God with all these theatrics of theirs!! All these public display to court sympathy!! God does miracles not magic.

The holy book said "work” and pray"...

So rolling on the floor publicly will make God to forgive the sins of the people right?

Gov. Ortom should be publicly flogged for attempting to ridicule God through this public display of buffoonery. Election is over and he's still playing to the gallery. He should get up, roll up his sleeves and get to work. Rolling on the floor publicly won't solve any of the problems that Benue state is facing.

Fake governor.

Gestures like this tends to push one towards blasphemy. If i insult this man now, it might seem like I'm against religion

Chaiiii

I really and honestly pity Benue people

Its going to be 3long years of unprecedented display of crass stupidity and incompetence.
Buhari and ortom are two very bad mixture no sane human being should endure.

Better to hv a dull uninspiring buhari and an active governor at the state level...but having both buhari and another dull cry cry baby as governor is death and anguish...

Benue people...sorry

Very silly governor. Nothing is working in benue state and this foool is rolling on the floor to decieves the gullibles

So na God wey never pay workers??





And since 1 year u re only trying to recover looted funds



Seems rolling on the floor na d new trend

your Monika doesn't speak well of you.

Governors ROTFL!!!

Foolishness! The way Benue people rallied around this guy you'd think he'd live up to the responsibility.

God should forgive the sins of another man even though the man is not willing to change? Will that pay the workers he's owing?

Do these mentally achodroplaesic dimwits understand this God at all? Until Nigerians get smart they'd keep voting in fools?

But then how can they get smart when these fools are partly responsible in making them smart? Smh. Sometimes I hate that I'm from this part of the world.

so na d new strategy now b dat abi steal money den go to place of worship and roll on d floor askin for forgiveness

Good

Eyaaaa

kk

Be Humble at the presence of God.

Chai! Orishirishi!
all diz our poliTHIEFcians sef.
sebi if him roll 4 ground finish askin God to throw down money 4 workerz salary whereas his own salary has been paid upfront, him go stand up dust him body enter his big as$ 4x4 suv & zoom off?

Y not bang his head against rock

Oh my! Smh. With the millions of prayers going up to god every mili second from Nigeria with virtually no results so far. It is either god is deaf, dead or simply doesn't exist. I'm leaning towards the latter

You know it just hit me. Could it be that Nigerians are sincere with their prayers but have been praying to the wrong god all along? Hmm..the mind boggles

y do politicians take God for granted....today rochas go repent... tomao we go hear Amaechi wept on d altar of God..who r dey fooling

HE'S right. if God is by ur side who can be against us ? ANS= No power

We he return d yam

Prayer is very passive behavior and does gives a false impression people are actually doing something right when what they need most times is action. Prayer works together with actions. Continue praying theatrically while Fulani kills your kinsmen, fool.

Just see how these people dey play with God
I remember that saying if men were God
