The founder of Salvation Ministry, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has urged soccer fans to save themselves from the agony of high blood pressure by watching
He gave the advice on Sunday while preaching during service in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The cleric who revealed that he no longer watches football matches involving the National team was preaching to the congregation on how to be moderate in one’s expectations from God when he digressed with an analogy of the Nigerian football team. He said: “Others have trained for years; then Nigerians will prepare, crash programme, everything is crash. Two weeks. And they will be praying. Your heart will be skipping [as you watch the match]. That’s why I don’t watch Nigerian football again. You have to pray for them to win every time.”
He further cautioned the congregation: “Before they make your BP go up, abeg, leave these people oo. Any result you hear, you keep it to your heart—if they win, okay oo; if they lose, okay oo. If they win, we say thank God; if they lose, we say thank God. That is, don’t expect [too much of them].”
