Popular social media influencer, Daniel Regha, has criticised Nigerian pastors and church founders for competing to build the biggest church auditoriums instead of investing in industries to tackle unemployment.
In a post shared on his official X handle, Regha expressed disappointment over the ongoing construction of a 109,000-capacity auditorium by Winners Chapel. He argued that such projects do little to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Regha calls it a misplaced priority
He wrote: “There’s no reason why Winners Chapel or any church in Nigeria should build a ‘109k Capacity Auditorium’. We don’t need more church buildings, it’s not helping anyone but the church establishment.
”Channel that funding into companies to reduce unemployment, or into projects that profit the masses in general. Men of God be competing for biggest auditoriums in a country that’s infested with abject poverty.
“And to make matters worse, such buildings are funded by poor members. This is, and will always be a misplaced priority. This is not how to spread the gospel. Sorry.”
