Religion has helped to promote Family, Friendship and community. Its has also produced Great art, Great Architecture andGreat Music .Also it has helped to promote literacy but I just do not understand the 21st century justification of building this Church with 1.5 Billion Naira perhaps with imported building materials.Then there is an imported Church Organ, imported this, Imported that? Can Africans not worship God with their own resources and resoucesfulness? Duro Ladipo was expelled from the Baptist Church for playing the Bata Drum. They thought he was trying to introduce other gods into the Church.The Church can do with local building materials. Besides 1.5 billion would feed 140,000 starving west African Children for a while.1.5 Billion Naira can also go to upgrading the Ajayi crowther university owned by the Anglican Comunion where a student recently died due to lack of acess to a generator at the Healthcare centre.1.5 billion could as well go into a Hospital Project Lastly the Birth place of Ajayi Crothwer,AfricanFather of Anglicanism in Osoogunhas be neglected. The residents have cried out. It could be transformed into a uist Haven..I do not want to be seen as a spoilt sport. I might be wrong in these views. Please Stop this Church Project.
