If it was a muslim Governor who donated his 23 months salary to a mosque for the same purpose as Imoke's, I'm quite certain CAN would have issued a statement condemning what appears to be a ''suspicious and callous gesture aimed at polarising the population and favouring the adherents of one religion above the other''. The move will be ''especially condemnable and insensitive going by the chaos being experienced in the country presently due to religious division '' and of course, they'll be ''wondering what the Governor hopes to gain from this move and what message he is sending to the people''.
Nairalanders too would have had a field day, informing us that the Governor was sponsoring a new generation of BH and that was it only his mosque members who voted for him? we would be bamboozled with statistics of the poverty and illiteracy level E.t.c.

Now its a christian Governor and most commenters are saying its his money so he can do what he likes with it. Of course the reasonable and non bigoted ones will always analyse and criticize constructively.

Personally, i feel that while it is truly his money and he can indeed do whatever he likes with it, that money(or gesture) could have gone into better programs not involving a closed group belonging to a particular zone, or religion.

jim jones: at least he's not spending 1 billion naira(tax payer's money!) on food like jona-cassava and his fat ugly wife.

youth development indeed , is it supost to be only the youths in that church should b the beneficiary


The governor explained that the donation was out of his commitment and passion for youth development, a desire that made him to float the Bridge Leadership Foundation, a project dedicated to helping youths develop their talents as future leaders.

NO LONG TIN:


Wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!!


You are definitely not objective as you claim. Do you know who my Neigbour gives most of his salary to? ASHAWOOO, i've never complained because he worked for it and he should do what he wants with it(Whatever brings him joy/fulfillment). This is his salary(Imoke) and he has the right to give his mother, church, mosque or a Mad man as long as they wont use it to constitute nuisance in this country. Also, if it was a muslim governor, he would have given/use the state's allocation to fund/promote islamic activities.

Have you ever thought of who sponsor the Sharia institutions in the North, Almajiris etc ??

#ThinkAboutThat before you start acting like a victim.

Now this is ME being objective

andyprez: Nigerian people (hypocrites) disgust me a lot. If it was reported that he bought the pastor a flashy car, they will say y not give it 2 d less privileged in church. He did that now, & there are saying y not build hospitals, development centres, or otherwise.
The point is this - you'll never satisfy the mind of people. Just do what u can & let ur own conscience be clear.
