Nigerian Pastor Essien Ayi Donates N1Million To Complete Mosque & Islamic Centre In Calabar Cross River State
Apostle Essien Ayi, the Senior Pastor of the Peniel Church of God in Calabar, has donated one million Naira for the completion of a central mosque and Islamic Centre in Calabar, the capital city of Cross River State.
Ayi who is also a politician representing Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar-South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, said Nigerians should be their brothers’ keepers, irrespective of religion.
The cleric and lawmaker, who made the cash donation at Gbogobiri, a Hausa settlement in Calabar, said the gesture was also to appreciate the support he has enjoyed from them.
He said:
“Every human being whether Christian or Muslim believes in God, a creator. The religion may be different. The mode of practicing may be different, but it is tilted towards one being, which is God.
“Also the Muslim society has been very supportive of me right from when I was chairman and they informed me that their former mosque had been demolished and they are trying to erect a new and befitting mosque. I feel as a representative, they too are my constituents. I am bound to make a token donation towards the completion of that mosque. We should be be our brothers’ keepers. We are all Nigerians irrespective of our religion.”

One of the major problems that is impeding our growth as a nation is a problem of religion. Instead of applauding this man you are condemning him. If we cannot tolerate one another because of religion differences then we will continue to fail as a nation.
In this Country alone we have different sect of Religion, Christians, Muslims, Pagans, Atheist, Traditional worshippers etc. Now, are you now concluding that because they don’t believe in Jesus Christ or Prophet Muhammed they are not Nigerians? Do you think the Federal government should not include them in its budget?
We Black race especially we Nigerians should change our mindset about religion. No nation survives under religion feud. We may have different perception about our religion but don’t let it affect how we relate to one another. Not all Muslims are Boko Haramists, not all Christian Pastors are evil but having a strong bias in other people’s religion can create unending war in religion. My next co worker is a gay man, does that mean I must kill him to satisfy my religion norms? no! Steve Jobs the I-Phone inventor may be a gay man but you can use his phone to connect your Pastor. Why can’t you reject his products.
We are too extremists when it comes to religion believe and we are not even doing 1/10 of what scripture has taught us. Only God knows who qualifies as a candidate for paradise. In the United States you cannot practice religion in public schools but we are all eager to attend their schools. I saw this man as individual who made a rewarding donation to the house of God nothing more. Please folks, don’t let us judge, let’s accept ourselves for who we are in order to thrive. God is the only reward for our good deed.

this man claiming to be a pastor is self acclaimed.
a true pastor called by God cannot make such a blunder.
Jesus is not about religion.
Church is not about religion
Church is the Body of Christ
Meaning Holiness
Meaning Light
The truth
And the way to heaving
Salvation.
It is not occultism like the rest of pagans who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour to be delivered out of the bondage of satan. Any worship to God Almighty not done in through Jesus christ is cultism. That is exactly what the fake pastor has just done. he is blindfolded and completely confused. He does not know wether to follow Jesus the Messiah or go in the direction of satan.
heaven and world are not same and can never be same. Jesus is seated on the right hand of God Almighty.
Mohamed is still buried in the ground waiting for the day of judgement when his case will be decided for misleading people.
Wake up you blind fools.
