“We are not even asking the Federal Government to give us money to build these Churches (Protestants and Catholic), in some places, but all we are saying is that thet should give us the land and we will go ahead and build our Church.
“”You will believe that in some parts of this country where there is such federal government presence, people are unnecessarily nervous about giving Christains land to build their Church””.
While noting that one can only be a good believer when you allow others to worship their God without hindrance, Bishop Kukah assured that they will continue to pray for the country.
Delivering his homily earlier, Bishop Kukah assured the congregation that God knows and hears every bit of our heart desires.

“Even when you wisper, God hears. Therefore, stop thinking negative either to yourself or somebody else”. Kukah pleaded.

“After naming the new Religion is in our hearts, not in the Church or any other gathering, hence the need to live Godly at all times.
