geoworldedu:
One thing about sacrifice is that the lower animals are the ones slaughtered for that purpose. Person wey no get money na him go be sacrificial lamb when the rich will remain unscathed. Also, whatever you use for sacrifice doesn't stay alive. The sacrifice will be over after the poor masses are almost eradicated from the surface of the earth.
