Wanted to post this in the main religious section, but a guy is already complaining about persecution of Christians, don't want this to be overtaken by whining those who judge and condemn but quickly immunise themselves against criticism with "Touch not my anointed"

Christians have always railed against things they have not started doing

They faulted going for Hajj as enrichment of the economy of Saudi Arabia until they started going to Jerusalem
They claimed that we didn't need to go anywhere to worship, yes until they started congregating along the Lagos -Ibadan ExWay and others
They criticised government sponsorship of Hajj, until governments started paying for the trip to Jerusalem
They lamented the disturbance of our early morning call to prayer, yes until they started keeping people awake with their night-long house fellowship

Anyway from those who believe that Govt money should be spent on everybody is this news
And please remember that they claim Nigerian is being islamized and that it is dangerous to practise christianity in Nigeria

Anyway

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State said on Monday that the state government would establish a Trust Fund for Christian activities in the state.

Mr. Wike made the pledge when some leaders in Pentecostal churches in the state paid him a courtesy visit in Port Harcourt.

He also said that a Board of Trustee would be set up to monitor and manage the funds accruing from the trust fund, to ensure effective and prudent management.

The governor said it was pertinent for the state to have such fund to cater for the challenges of pastors and other men of God.

“I will continue to do what I am doing for Christians and the Church. You should be hopeful in what God could do for the state,” he said.

Mr. Wike, who also promised to support all Christian activities, urged them to continue to pray for the success of the government and survival of the state.

The governor said that with prayers, detractors would run away from the state.

He lauded the Church for its prayers for the survival of both the state and the government.

The governor said he would complete the Ecumenical Centre and deliver it to the Christian fold in May.

In his remark, the leader of the group, John Praise, said he and other members of the group came to identify with the governor on what he was doing for Rivers people.

He added that the group was with the governor to pray for the success of his administration.

Mr. Praise, who was represented by Goddy Okafor, one of the leaders, said the visit was also to ensure that churches in Rivers synergised with the state government.

Another prominent pentecostal leader, Zilly Agrrey, lauded the governor for the construction of the Ecumenical Centre and sponsorship of Christian pilgrimage to Israel.

He also commended him for maintaining cordial relationship with Christians, setting up of a Christian Welfare Board as well as sponsoring Christian carols in the state.
