The President of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has said that a nation cannot progress with bad leadership.
Speaking during the Easter Sunday service in his church on April 5, the cleric said Nigerian leaders have become insensitive to the plight and challenges faced by the people.
Citing the killings in various communities in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, Suleman expressed concern over the priority placed on photo-ops with victims of bandits and terorists attacks by the government and its officials.
“When people are grieving, tell your media to keep quiet. Because if it doesn’t touch you, it will touch you if you don’t scream out.
“It’s a waste praying when you have elected a bad person. The only prayer you’ll need to pray is the grace to survive the suffering.
“The height of insensitivity is when people are mourning and you’re sending media to do damage control. I am sorry to say but this is one of the most terrible times to be a Nigerian because evil is becoming regular.
“Do you know what that does to you? You wake up and they say 40 people have been killed in so-so-so place. And we move on… do you know what that does to the construct of your mind?” Suleman queried.
Noting that death and the atrocities happening across the country have become normal to Nigerians, the cleric said these vices are killing empathy among the people.
“And now, we are now debating numbers, oh it’s 50, it’s 45, like we are debating numbers of chickens that we roasted.
“In the past when one man dies in a street, for one month people will still be talking about it but now it’s a normal thing, a mother is burying a child and all they do is just photo-ops.
“And when you talk, they send their media people, that’s the height of insensitivity,” the cleric added.
