Today I visited the ongoing International Worship Centre project in Uyo. The quality of the work done is commendable and it is the best of its kind in the world.

In addition to other key infrastructure and industries we are building, we as a people are raising an altar for our God, even for generations yet unborn.

I'm not a sadist, anti-government or anti-Christian but I think this is one of the misplaced priority we keep having in this country. No government should spend public funds building worship centres whether church or mosque etc.

And to think this is a billion naira project, how does this help the economy of the state? You would say it has provided contract (temporary) jobs for those working there but after the completion, what next? Think of if this money was to be rechannelled in building production industry or empowerment to the people of the state who poverty can clearly be seen staring in their faces. Misplaced priority!!!

Poverty of the state ?
Pls carefully insult udom but leave Akwa Ibom people from your insult ok..
After all Nigeria is the capital of poverty in the world and your state and people are no exception.

Just in case you care to know, I'm an indigene of the state. Born and bred.

You mean no poverty in Akwa Ibom?

That's the priority of Akwa Ibom state government..

Imagine an empowerment center in Akwa Ibom like this

I just imagine Umahi having the kind of money at this one disposal.

That's misplaced priority

I didn't know this

No be by churches or mosques.. Great numbers of lives being lost every fuvkin day and em mofos keep building worship centers as if na the solution to our predicaments

God bless Sony interactive entertainment ;God bless the United States ;God bless Nigeria ;God bless Kogi state; God bless the good people of Okene

That white man with the design is in charge of the construction. He will chop Nigerias billions cleanmouth and go back to his country and establish himself while our citizens remain struggling and some suffering.

Ok

Ok


Why not focus on building industries and things that will help your people financially.

Why not leave spiritual things that has the calling for it.

Well done for the work. From what I see, the structure looks standard.

Good

This is a useless project.

We have too many churches in Nigeria abeg, a new government owned one is the last thing we need right now.

Nah so dem dey build mosque here/there up North ..No industry,no nothing

This country and worship centers.

Why can't the put such construction and inspection energy into building industrial hubs in each state or region. Where it is not possible, the should create enabling policies and environment where individuals can use the little they have to start and grow their business.

Worship centre that they've squandered almost 60billion to build. And you think God will be happy with such worship centre... builds with lies and fraud?

Red lips thief Governor.

Still on the matter

Hospital, schools, training centers would have been better.

Let the church community build churches while state government focus on infrastructure and a conducive environment for its people...

Nothing surprise me anymore for this country

I tire.....


Is the state government now building a church?.....


Nigeria is truly cursed.....

Politics is about taking decisions popular with the people not necessarily those best for the people.
In Nigeria, things like marriage, religion, entertainment, etc are most popular with the people hence the politicians do things along that line, thats why In the north you hear of mass marriages being sponsored by the govt and in the south massive religious centres being constructed.
A minority may feel upset and argue that better use could be made of scarce resources, but unfortunately, this is what the majority want. Ours is an inherently vacuous society. This is reflected in our cyberspace, issues like the economy, politics and their accompanying hard issues aren't really of interest to the average Nigerian. But marriage, relationship issues, religion and entertainment get the highest allocation of interest on Nigerian cyberspace. Government work with public opinion to maintain or increase their popularity.

Funds that should've been used for factories, that will create employment, generate revenue for the state with taxes

>
Why would a state government be involved in the church building business?
Have all of the desperately needed schools, hospitals, roads, etc., been built?

Same as Northern states, with million of out-of-school kids, building mosques
Why don’t Nigerian governments respect the constitutional provision of a SECULAR nation?!

God will reward you accordingly

We need arm factory,bomb making factories and lunchers.
