A Man Sleeping In A Casket For 40 Years! You Believe?

An octogenarian, Samuel Kogberegbe, told
journalists on Friday that he has been sleeping inside a coffin for over forty years now. Kogberegbe, the founder of Holy Michael Church of the Lord (Aladura), in Egbe,
Lagos, who spoke as part of activities to mark the
church’s 50th
anniversary which holds on Sunday, 3 June, 2012, said he had slept in the
coffin to remind himself of life’s vanity and that one day, he would die.

He said his action was also to teach Nigerians
to be conscious about death and thus change their negative ways of life. “I
believe that death is certain and I am going to end in that coffin,” he
said. The cleric also declared that former President
Olusegun Obasanjo was correct to have called Nigerian lawmakers armed robbers at
a function in Lagos recently.
According to him, Obasanjo’s
description of the country’s lawmakers as armed robbers was correct in every
sense of reasoning.

He accused the lawmakers of not having any
feeling for the suffering masses that voted for them, and warned
church leaders to abstain from evil practices,
claiming that only through this would they be able to salvage the country
