Nigeria and misplaced priority. The same Akwa Ibom that a syringe manufacturing company just folded is commissioning a worship centre. I keep saying it, religion should be a private matter. We should be deliberate with our priorities in this country.

The scam called religion is in full operation. How people who are smart and intelligent fall for this gimmick I really don't know.

Why are African leaders so short-sighted? The public funds wasted in building this could have been channelled to building public hospitals, schools and good roads. Most of our African leaders are good at wasting public funds on frivolous things that has no direct impact to the people. The governor that built this would think he has achieved something whereas he succeeded in wasting public funds.

The only thriving business in Africa.... SMH

So this monumental edifice was built to glorify a god that cannot save his followers when they were being killed on Christmas Eve... After all the empty promises he made to them that he will protect them if they forsake their ancestral ways of worship and follow the one he instructed....


Truth be told that God really like horror movies

You're a mumu man.
Talking like those dunces who believe thry come from apes

May his name be glorified.You wouldn't see Righteousness on this thread that Glorify the name of the most high.

Hahahaha please my stomach, abeg nearly faint wlhi

Wow! This is beautiful.

Nestled in the heart of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, stands a testament to faith and architectural ingenuity - the International Christian Worship Center. More than just a place of worship, this colossal structure has become a symbol of unity, hope, and cultural significance for the region.

A Beacon of Interdenominational Harmony

Conceived as a space for Christians of all denominations to come together in fellowship, the Worship Center transcends individual churches and fosters a spirit of unity under one roof. This inclusivity is reflected in the design itself, devoid of specific denominational markings, allowing each visitor to find their own spiritual connection within its walls.

Architectural Marvel:

Stepping into the Worship Center is akin to entering a modern-day cathedral. Its awe-inspiring design, resembling a majestic aircraft taking flight, soars skyward, symbolizing the ascent of prayers and aspirations. The central cross, enveloped in the flowing curves of the building, serves as a constant reminder of the faith that unites the diverse Christian community within.

Beyond Worship:

The Worship Center is not just about Sundays. It pulsates with life throughout the week, offering a multitude of facilities and activities. A sprawling museum showcases the rich Christian heritage of the region, while a well-equipped library provides a haven for knowledge seekers. For those seeking solace, dedicated prayer rooms offer quiet spaces for introspection and communion with the divine.

A Catalyst for Community:

The Center's impact extends beyond its physical walls. It serves as a hub for various social initiatives, offering medical assistance, educational programs, and vocational training to the local community. This commitment to social responsibility underscores the Worship Center's dedication to not only nurturing the spiritual well-being of its congregation but also uplifting the lives of those around it.

A Journey of Faith:

Visiting the International Christian Worship Center is an experience that transcends religion. It's a journey of faith, a testament to human ingenuity, and a celebration of the unifying power of shared beliefs. Whether you're a devout Christian seeking spiritual solace or an architecture enthusiast marveling at its grandeur, the Worship Center leaves a lasting impression, reminding us that even in our diverse world, unity and hope can soar on wings of faith.


The International Christian Worship Center in Uyo is more than just a building; it's a living testament to the power of faith, community, and architectural brilliance. As its spires reach towards the heavens, it serves as a beacon of hope and unity, not just for Christians in Nigeria but for people of all faiths around the world.

If you ever find yourself in Uyo, take some time to visit this architectural marvel and experience its unique blend of faith, community, and artistic expression.

You didn't even consider to mention the capacity in your write-up.

So the big worship centres bigger than this in western countries are waste of fund.

Truth be told that God really like horror movies

In fairness to that god, there is no single evidence of him promising to protect anyone. Those tales are only found in a book written by men. Just like the physics, chemistry, biology, strength of materials, metallurgy, fluid materials, accounting principles and so many other books. I think we should be fair to him.

I heard that the state government wasted a whooping 32 billion on this structure. People will now go there to pray for jobs that the money should have been used to create. This country can never get it right.

joshjc:
Rubbish

But I reason with you. They will build churches with tithes collected from people but the same people can't afford the church university, so many big churches but empty souls with so many oloshos and rituals. Disregation among church embers because pastors love you when you are rich and you will occupy the front seat.

weblord1900:
Waste of money that is suppose to be used to cure the sicks and feed the orphans.

reminds of Judas when the woman wipes Jesus's feet with her expensive oil.

It looks like you are right, until we find out you have a million in your account and have never visited a hospital to give 10k to a sick patient or give to any church or mosque

I believe in Jesus Christ too but this is totally wrong.

The moment this governor said he aim is to declare HAPPY HOUR for the people of Akwa Ibom state, I knew he had no vision for the state. Anyway, it's not his fault, even the people who voted him are blind. So what do you expect?

If the blind lead the blind, they both fall into a ditch Matthew 15:14

Not a world class hospital, so less people will be looking for miracle healing and less will have foreign medical trips.
Not a world class training institute or technical school for blue collar jobs.
Not a school.
Not a farm or a food processing centre.
Not a state owned refinery.
Not a stadium or sports centre.
Not a world class tourist restort.
Not factory or assembly plant.
Not investment in Akwai Ibom fishing industry.


But instead, aboy prefers to build church at home and buys designer shirt from Italy. When we all know we can literally pray from our homes since God is everywhere. Nigeria is not having a religious center deficit. Infact, there are more religious centers than real businesses in Nigeria. If you doubt, drive through the city and see the billboards on the streets.

Build factories

Stop building worship centers. Build people so they can generate value for themselves and the society. What's the point of building big and beautiful worship centers that will be attended every sunday by hungry people or people that cannot afford to go to school.

It's like the government spending a lot of money on religious pilgrimage, when the ministry of education does not have enough money to improve education

Patriotic9ja:
Nice. Akwa Ibom doing great with infrastructural development 👏. The next should be human capacity building 👷‍♂️. The people need to be upgraded to the level of infrastructural development in the state. Otherwise it doesn't balance

The syringe factory is folding up. Is the pencil company still working.

Anuoluwap:


You didn't even consider to mention the capacity in your write-up.

it can accomodate 10,000 worshippers

Offpoint1:
I find it appalling building any religious house with state/tax payer money, be it mosque or church.

Religious house don't generate money to government pocket

True, but what about the refineries they spent billions upon billions renovating but never producing? Research on the amount spent to renovate refineries from Jonathan’s time till buhari’s tenure ended, and tell me how much they generated?

That cathedral can generate some monies that can assist orphanage homes and communities. I bet some of the funds here would be used for charity unlike the oil money that returns no money to Nigerians!

I’m not defending whoever built it or with what money it was built but realistically, it will be better utilized for the public than our public assets solely controlled by government like refineries that refines nothing.

Absolute waste of money and land

The inferior betrays the edifice

The inferior betrays the edifice...they should have done a better job designing the inner spaces.

A'Ibom d vex these days oo. Their projects are majorly mouth-watering. Alhamdililahi

Unwise people leading. the money they spend on religious pilgrimage to mecca and israel is the one that I will never understand. these guys will literally budget as much as 3 to 4m for one person, check the total stock of goods in the person's shop where he/she makes a living, 300 thousand naira

All I see is church in the south, mosque in the north,no industry

[b]Truth be told that God really like horror movies

May God forgive you for the gibberish you spewed from your mouth.
You need Jesus.
Satan has possessed and damaged you so badly.
Pele. You will be alright.
May God have mercy on your lost soul in Jesus Name.

Why not? Even as businesses are packing up and fleeing Nigeria in droves. Immediately beside this story is another saying that a syringe-making company just folded up and left, citing a challenging business environment.

The architectural/structural engineers deserve a place in the GWR!




What a masterpiece!




However, one must be reminded that the hood does not make the monk.



God is interested only in those who will truly worship Him in spirit and in truth.



Congrats to All Ibomites on this historic unveiling of the International Christian Worship Centre, Uyo!



Akwa Ibom: ayaya o!
