This guys need to try sue the governors in northern nigeria for abuse of power by using state funds to buy cows for sallah,sponsoring hajj,etc, then we will take them very serious
Nigeria Atheists are OK with Islam, their grouse is with Christianity that's why we call them anti Christs.

Take the owner of this forum for instance, he is always attacking Christians but pampers Muslims like last born.

their voices become so loud whenever 'christianity' is concerned, but they'd chicken out when other religion is concerned. funny how they'd be so quiet when Islam is concerned, i understand their fear though.

His Excellency Udom Emmanuel is a man on a mission. Udom is Governor of Akwa Ibom state in southern Nigeria with the mission to anchor his administration on “deep Christian and moral values” and with the dream of erecting for God, a befitting place of worship.

That befitting place of worship is an enormous and futuristic Christian worship center with 8,500 seating capacity, boasting 16 staircases, two churches, and several smaller chapels. Udom said, “Akwa Ibom State is a Christian State that will continue to look up to God for his guidance and blessings”. The Governor played a central role in promoting this project and admits public money has been spent on it.

But there is a problem. In this deeply religious country, split almost 50:50 between Christians and Muslims, the constitutional draughtsman had the foresight to guarantee the separation of state and religion. So Section 10 of the Constitution, the supreme law of the Federation, states “The Government of the Federation, or of a State, shall not adopt any religion as State Religion”. Did Governor Udom miss those 17 words?

Our affiliate, The Atheist Society of Nigeria (ASN), did not miss those words. ASN sought legal advice and counsel’s opinion was clear; supporting and providing state resources for a Christian worship center has the object or effect of adopting Christianity as a state religion. In other words, it is unconstitutional.

ASN instructed counsel to write two letters to the Governor. The first noted that the project was “discriminatory, unfair, offensive, unconstitutional and unlawful” and demanded a cessation of the project. The second letter was a formal request under Nigeria’s Freedom of Information Act 2011, seeking information on the anticipated costs, the sources of funding and the contribution made by the government of Akwa Ibom.

To date, the Governor has not replied to either letter, despite the fact he has a legal obligation to respond to Freedom of Information requests. The next step is to proceed to court to let a Judge decide the constitutional implications of the government’s involvement in the Christian worship center project.

In the meantime, Pastor Enoch E. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God held a service to bless the project, and work on foundation piling continues.

We at Atheist Alliance International firmly support ASN in this matter. It is all too common for governments of extremely religious countries to act with impunity on religious issues. After all, there is no one to challenge them. But there is now. ASN, with our help, will come forward and demand respect for the constitution.

We hear of other cases of abuse of power in Nigeria and elsewhere and this is an ideal case to engage with; the Governor has been caught red-handed and the case has a narrow legal scope with little need to call witnesses to establish facts—the facts are already in the public domain and can hardly be disputed. If the court finds in our favor, the question of “reliefs” will arise—what must the Governor do to put things right? That will be a decision for the Judge and could be anything from canceling the project to handing it over to a private consortium to complete, together with the repayment of all public funds.

The crucial importance of this case is the message it sends to other Governors and Federal government players. That message is simple, you are no longer free to ride roughshod over the constitution, people are watching you and they are not afraid to take action.

Atheism is a contradiction in terms. Every human per force subscribes to a belief system. Atheists’ is to believe that God does not exist. It’s a choice to which they are constitutionally entitled! However to succeed they will have to show how it affects them that the AKSG is building the church.

What exactly do Atheists believe in? That there is no God? Who created them? How can people be so foolish and claim wise? Atheism is not a religion but a movement. What is their grouse here? Almighty God deserves worship and praise. Gov. Udom was right in supporting the church. If they like let them sue, their suit will be thrown out. Nonsense. A bunch of deranged nincompoops.

Frustrated people who have given up on live are the ones that always act atheism.

Most of them are ritualist, occultic, witches and wizards, they don't want you to believe in God because that is their greatest challenge as they know they can't touch you as you are protected by God; they now want you to be defenceless so that they will attack you.

Why are they always afriad; because they are scared of you.

They full this website and majority of them are occultic.


So many strawman posts in one thread. I didn't expect more from a country with an average IQ of less than 70.

Nobody is OK with Islam, not even Muslims, hence why so many of them ignore their religion most of the time.
