The idea behind having churches, mosques, and other worship places is to renew the mind to be at peace with metaphysics and strengthen resolve to propagate love for humanity. It is sad to see that worship centres are complete opposite of what they should be. It’s a shame!

I was in a global health meeting where an argument was made for high income countries supporting global south countries with loans, etc. I reminded them that in the heat of the pandemic, Nigerian legislators would procure a 2020 Toyota product each. Why feed irresponsibility?
