(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The statement made by the Senior Pastor of the House on the Rock Church Lagos, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, advising his church members to get a plan B as sparked social media reactions.

African Examiner writes that the cleric gave the advice on Sunday, May 9, when he spoke extensively on the state of the nation.

Adefarsin said: ”No country in the world history has survived two civil wars. You could be in fright and be running for your dear life, any day from now if this thing does not come to an end. My personal encouragement to leaders and government on all sides is that it is not time to be partisan, blend the aisles. It is time to sit down and dialogue.”

Speaking further to his church members, the clergyman enjoined them to have a plan B as his wife is currently out of Nigeria helping to create their own plan B

He said: “I bring you greeetings from Pastor Ifeanyi who is busy taking care of the frontier of our world and preparing our escape root. If you don’t have a plan B. …I know you have faith, but I have faith too but I have a plan B.

“With technology I can speak to you from anywhere in the world.

“Get yourself a plan B. Whether that’s an Okada to Cameroon or flying boat or speed boat as we call them to Seme Border or a hole in the ground, get your plan B because these people are crazy. They ate nutters. The whole bunch of them. And watch the signs because it can happen like this. God forbid!”
