The issue of eating pork and its biblical or health implications has been discussed over the years, but the thorny subject has reared its head again, this time, eliciting such uproar.  

Interestingly, the person responsible for this wave of rhubarb is no other than  Minister of God, Sonnie Badu.

The man of God simply stated that pork is unclean and eating it makes one vulnerable to all forms of demonic attack – and the reactions to such a claim have been mind-blowing. Almost every portal carried the story, some major print media published it and almost every media house elevated the conversation.

Clearly, Sonnie Badu has influence and the subject of pork does hit nerves!

Outspoken & Unfazed

Until his parlay into the church business, Sonnie Badu was well known for his music but for some reason, his influence and popularity have been on the high even at a time when he has relaxed with the constant release of new music.

Sonnie is vocal, opinionated and strong-willed. He is very outspoken and virtually has an opinion on every subject.  There is no hesitation and inhibition when it comes to him offering his stance and knowledge on any subject – from politics to football to relationships to eating and to every other social issue.

His foray on social media makes some observers giddy and his level of activity on that platform considering his gospel background makes others woozy but he doesn’t care. Once he has a strong conviction about something, he expresses it and defends it without mincing words.

There’s obviously a lot of good on social media but it is also a breeding ground for trolls, vipers and unscrupulous characters who are just on the platform to be a nuisance. Sonnie is a ‘King of Clap back’ and doesn’t hold back in responding to trolls. He’s built differently, whether he is a man of God or not; he snarls with the same venom when poked.

The Pork Debate

There was no opaqueness in his pork-eating and demons declaration. He was unequivocal about it.

According to Sonnie, “Once the demons discover that you have eaten something unclean, your spirit automatically gets subdued. Once you go to bed, they come, because you gave them access.”

He was not done. Hear him; “They don’t come in the daytime. Daytime, you are alert. They come when the body is tired. Midnight. From 12:00 am to 3:00 am. So whilst you are in bed, they jump in and begin to be you.”
