Why The National Cathedral Is The Stupidest Idea Of All Time – Brilliantly Explained

The plan to establish a National Cathedral is moving forward at full speed despite staunch public opposition.
So far, even a lot of ordinary Ghanaians who are Christians are standing against the initiative, and seemingly those who want it are privileged a$$e$ like Joe Mettle or those affiliated with the church who are unlikely to be feeling the hardship causing the ordinary Ghanaian to kick against this excess.
The go-to argument for those supporting the construction of the needless cathedral is that it’s not government money being used to construct it therefore it’s pointless fighting against it as it does not waste taxpayer money.
However, the cathedral is being constructed on public land which the government is handing over at no cost and worse, they are relocating public servants at significant cost to the taxpayer and would construct new quarters for them.

One Counsellor Fenyi has broken down the excesses of the move brilliantly in a post going viral on social media.
Read it below…
NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: AN EPITOME OF “SH*T-HOLE” THINKING
Bishop Agyin-Asare has, arguably, the biggest cathedral, hosting about 15,000 congregants. Pastor Mensa Otabil also seats over 10,000 people in Christ Temple, ICGC. Apostle Sam Korankye Ankrah is building a new dome that will host over 15,000 christians. ArchBishop Duncan-Williams hosts over 10,000 people and Bishop Dag-Heward Mills’ Quodesh seats over 12,000 congregants. These are private individuals who have erected magnificent structures to serve their God.
Ghana, a whole country, wants to put up just a 5,000 seater cathedral and this is how they go about it;
The Cathedral itself will NOT be built by government, so we are informed, but first, we’ll secure a land valued about $40 million (about 18 trillion old cedis).
Again, we’ll crumple the following structures, built with tax payers money;
1. Passport Office
2. Greater Accra regional Minister’s residence
3. Judicial training institute
4. National Scholarships Secretariat
5. Eight (8) residential bungalow of Judges
6.AITI-KACE (Advance Information Technology Institute- Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence)
7.Ministry of Communications Building
8. Ghana Maritime Authority building
9. And a whole lot of key institutional buildings
10. College of Physicians building
11. Other expensive private facilities
After all these artifacts are pulled down, government will rent new apartments for affected persons and institutions for two years, cost of which is about $500,000 (over 20billion old cedis) all payed by the tax payer.
While renting for victims, government will build new edifices for them at Cantonment by 2020 so that they’ll move in permanently. This also, with tax payers money.
Now these are my questions;
1. Are there no “free unoccupied” lands in the whole of Accra for government to build this cathedral?
2. If there are no lands in Accra, can’t the cathedral be built in another region like Central, Ashanti, Northern, etc region? After all, it’s a national project. Should everything be situated in Accra?
3. Do we even need a cathedral? What will we use it for? Ghana has occasional national programs, is this enough grounds to waste money on a “national” cathedral?
4. We lack adequate number of schools, hospitals, roads to use daily and you want to build something that will be used ocassionally?
5. Government can, legally, access any piece of land for public interest, why does he need to destroy other buildings for the cathedral when he can build the cathedral anywhere else?
I used to defend anything African or Ghanaian, just for purposes of origin and patriotism and thus I was gravely enraged when Donal Trump called Africa a sh*t-hole country. But anytime our leaders think and talk, they seem to prove Trump right.
I know “fanatic” christians will disagree with me but I urge all to critically ponder on the humongous waste and folly surrounding this cathedral thing. True christianity is not a substitute for dumbness, I guess.
Someone should call and explain to me what actually goes into a blackman’s thinking, it stinks like a “shit” indeed!
