  1. You think 3 months is a enough to buy land and rebuild the church...you people failed to respect the faith...can you try that in a mosque and with an emam or native doctor? Obviously No!!...if you have tried to assist him with a land and the rebuilding process, he wouldn't have come out to interrupt the process of the demolition...you think is easy to see what you have build over the years,just crumble before your eyes... If not for any thing atleast for God sake and the worshipers...but No... because their was no respect and fear of God in you people...even went to an extent of beating and slapping him, that's an abuse...Mr soludo, that's a wrong note to begin your tenure, we have high expectations on you but this is a total disappointment...I'm a big fan of you but this action is totally unacceptable. You went too far, honestly

  2. You miss the point. Did he build the church on a water way? Did he get the required approvals before building? Until we begin to do the right things or at the minimum support and encourage those who have mustered the courage to enforce doing the right thing, we will continue our slide to anarchy. Your point on the building being a church is plain sentiment. So if he goes to build a church to block the entrance to Niger bridge, he should leave it because it is a house of worship? Get real I beg!
