The people who criticise churches for building big cathedrals with their private money would turn dead and dumb seeing how a Nigerian governor is spending their collective resources. A very funny country indeed.

They are never bothered about how their tax, nhis, or pension levies are spent but you will see a man who hasn't been to a church before hating on pastors he barely knows.

There is a spiritual force behind such. Very soon kano will buy salah ram while VVF kills off their young girls and they will hail their governor as a real Muslim for ignoring taxpayers to buy rams for some of the taxpayers.

Flat....

is it not the same delta state that said they cant increase their minimum wage except their national allocation increases Nigerian politicians and wasteful spending are like 5&6 why not invest that money on a grassroot football academy Only God knows how empty the heads of our politicians are!!!
