That shouldn't be. But a change of status quo always rattles the beneficiaries. Her prayer should be that after the upgrade, those that were the initial beneficiaries would be given priorities first.
Status quo ante bellum you mean?

But this is medicine after death when partnership agrement has been signed since in February, the FCTA, under Wike, entered into a development partnership with Suburban Broadband Limited and Akida Hills Limited to upgrade the facility and boost tourism in Abuja.

Why would any right thinking person talk about abandoning a world-class transformation of Jabi Lake when for years it has been left to degenerate with, poo & urine smell everywhere, very dirty water, & very terrible place with beggars littering everywhere.

Now that Wike wants to transform it into our own version of Time Square New York and Dubai Waterfront, which is a move that would drive massive job creation across construction, tourism, and retail, significantly boost Abuja’s IGR, increase property values in Jabi and Utako, attract both local and international visitors, stimulate small business growth, improve urban safety and cleanliness, and ultimately reposition Nigeria as a serious tourism destination on the global stage.

Yet this Pastor who supposedly hears from God prefers we remain stuck with decay instead of embracing development that creates wealth, improves lives, and changes our national image for the better, abeg who curse us not to like good things?
You joking right?
If that is what he's planning to do, you think Abuja people won't be happy?
The plan is to sell it to private investors and an estate is to be built there. That restricts Abuja people in that space.

Renovation for public consumption is welcome but selling out for private access is wicked and evil for a space that is unique for uniting every one both rich and poor and helps people keep fit.

From the way you spoke, it seems poor people irritate you.

You can create order and keep the poor there who also make money via petty hustles in the park that benefit everyone.

It's a big no for any renovation that will kick the poor away from that space.

The place has already been divided into two. Why put a wall across a park if the idea isn't to sell a part to private investors for residential or commercial purpose.

WHat is land? Allow him to carry the land; if you are a true servant of God, you won't kneel down to beg an unbeliever. The likes of Elijah used to call down fire.

If your papers are correct and due process was followed during the land acquisition you don't have to beg the minister. Infact it is the minister that should be the one begging you if he wants to convert it to something else.
Did you read the article? I doubt it

Wike pass the woman spiritually, no worry yourself. He will take the land and she won’t do shit. Rather she’ll lie to her members using one flimsy excuse

Thanks for the true picture. Wike has his own wahala, but the post never stated the park would be cobverted to residential plots, but strictly redeveloped for tourist purposes.

Anyway, Wike is an obdurate man. Someone who mocked traditional rulers to their faces. grin grin Who is a Woman of God?

The news says they want to upgrade the facility to boost tourism in the FCT, meaning Jabi lake wouldn't be converted to residential quarters or anything like that but will be developed into a better tourism spot for all and sundry.

What's madam kneeling and begging about?
is a lie boss ...wike fence the place..it is obvious he want to make the place his private property...wike no try for this one. .

That power drunk will only get enabled to sell that land.

It's not by kneeling and begging but by doing a yarima, that's the only way you can make wike agree to anything.

That place is practically a bush. If the developers will transform it into a proper sports facility, then it's welcome.

The contract has been awarded and construction is currently ongoing. If you go to the Lake now, its cleaner than before, and ask any of the engineers there or FCDA officials to show you the master plan. He is building Nigeria version of Times square, and Dubai Waterfront fountain combined together at the same place. If you live in FCT you'll know Wike no de do cho cho cho. His workings are showing and the construction there will create millions of jobs and lift people out of poverty

If they are really going to upgrade the place, why go against it?
Re: Abuja Pastor Omakwu Kneels, Begs Wike Over Jabi Lake Land by phineas: 4:44pm On May 04
The real question is what was the land repurposed for

Last time I was in abuja there was a fence,leaving only 1/3rd of the park to the accessible to the public

The people there said the restricted parts were for a residential estate

Pastor Sarah is right in this one ,that land should have been left for the public,like central park. It's literarily where Abuja people do their morning walk,they were now cramped to the part that was left

Usurping green zones is wrong,whoever re allocated that land did a great injustice to the people of abuja

Talk of selfish interests over the common good. And why is Sarah omakwu the only one talking about it?

Someone that is operating below Wike spiritually. Not surprised.
How do you knkw, She is operating below Him? Because She knelt down? Have you heard of "Stooping to Conquer"? You think Power is all about Gra Gra? That Woman has built more organic influence in the FCT than Wike ever will.
