“Someone comes and starts doing such shameful, unnatural, un-African practices and you keep quiet. Something just a dog to which you give food on the ground can’t do but you with brains who eat on a plate can do, it’s shameful. God is about to fix us, and prepare yourselves for doing some of these practices even dogs can’t do,” he said.
