Abia’s Alex Otti vs Delta’s Sheriff Oborevwori
Same time in office. Different results.
One is building a future.
The other is wasting one.

Delta receives more money than the entire Southeast combined yet has nothing to show for it. Let’s talk FACTS 👇🏾
REVENUE: WHO REALLY HAS THE MONEY?
Delta State
Over ₦1.9 TRILLION received in 24 months
(₦700bn FAAC + ₦400bn 13% Derivation + ₦300bn IGR + ₦500bn borrowings/debts)

Abia State
Less than ₦300bn combined revenue in same period

YET: Delta is gasping.
Abia is growing.

INFRASTRUCTURE: WHERE’S THE WORK?
Abia (Otti):
– Rebuilt Abia Secretariat for ₦900m (₦1.1bn saved)
– Massive road projects across Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia
– Overhauled streetlights, traffic control, & environment
Delta (Sheriff):
– Key roads like Effurun-Warri, Sapele axis, Jesse, Bomadi still death traps
– No flagship project launched
– Secretariat, schools, and hospitals in ruins

HEALTHCARE: A STATE OF LIFE OR DEATH
Abia:
– Allocated 15% of budget to health (first in SE Nigeria)
– Revived ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital)
– Renovated PHCs & digitized medical records
Delta:
– Central Hospital Warri is a glorified mortuary
– Medical staff strike constantly
– No major hospital completed in 24 months

Yet Delta spends billions on “consultancy.”

EDUCATION: INVESTING IN BRAINS OR BUILDINGS?
Otti:
– ₦29.5bn to fence public schools (for safety)
– Restored accreditation to ABSUTH
– Launched bursaries & ICT training for youths
Sheriff:
– DELSU underfunded
– Schools lack desks, staff, basic infrastructure
– Education budget still bloated with ghost expenditures

IGR & FISCAL DISCIPLINE: WHO’S MANAGING BETTER?
Otti:
– Raised Abia IGR to ₦15bn in 6 months
– Working toward ₦5bn monthly target
– Cost of governance cut by ending fraudulent contracts
– Prioritized salaries, pensions, and contractors
Sheriff:
– No known IGR strategy
– Huge FAAC dependency
– No clear debt servicing plan
– Budget padded with vague “empowerment” votes

TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY
Otti:
– Publishing contracts (partially)
– Subjected Abia’s past finances to forensic audit
– Sacked ghost workers
– Implementing due process in procurement
Sheriff:
– EFCC still probing Okowa’s ₦1.3trn derivation fund
– Sheriff silent on financial abuse
– No audit report published since he took office
– Key ministries operating in secrecy

COURTS & RULE OF LAW
Abia:
– ICT-driven judiciary
– 17 LGAs with modern courtrooms
– Judges motivated, cases now digitized

Delta:
– Lawyers protest delay in justice
– Courtrooms in shambles
– Judges neglected, salaries delayed

COST OF GOVERNANCE
Yes, Otti spent ₦5bn in 3 months. But he’s showing work.
Delta spends the same and we ask, for what?

Govt House in Asaba is bloated with aides, contracts, PR tools and “influencers” eating millions monthly. Zero productivity.

VISION
Abia is building an economy around technology, health, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Delta is still doing “empowerment” and handouts like it’s 2003.

Abia’s Otti is planning for 2050.
Delta’s Sheriff is repeating 1999.

SO DELTANS, ASK YOURSELF THIS:

What if a man like Alex Otti governed Delta State with the kind of resources we’ve wasted under PDAPC?

– Delta would be West Africa’s industrial hub.
– Our schools and hospitals would be world-class.
– Warri, Ughelli, Asaba, and Sapele would be model cities.

Instead?
We’re stuck in reverse.

CONCLUSION

Abia is proof that bold leadership can work.

If a state with less than ₦300bn in 2 years can show us working hospitals, digital courts, smart schools, and real savings.

Then Delta has NO excuse.
We don’t lack money.
We lack vision.
2027 must not be about party.
It must be about performance. Integrity. Audacity. Boldness. Character.

Delta must rise from the ruins of deceit.
We need a reformer, not a seat-warmer.
We need an Alex Otti not more of the same.

“6 THINGS MEN WHO NEVER SIMP UNDERSTAND (THAT SIMPS WILL NEVER GET)”

Some of you think you’re “nice guys.”

Nah, bro—you’re a SIMP.

Always chasing, begging, paying, pleading…
And still not getting what you want.

But there’s a class of men who NEVER go through that humiliation.

Let me tell you the 6 codes those men live by.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. “ATTENTION IS CURRENCY—NEVER SPEND IT FOOLISHLY”
A non-simp knows: the more you give a woman unnecessary attention, the less she values it.

Simps? Always double texting, calling 10 times, replying stories in 2 seconds.

Real men? They respond, not chase.
They’re BUSY. They don’t overinvest attention.

Result? Women respect them because their attention is rare.

2. “A MAN WHO WORSHIPS A WOMAN CAN NEVER LEAD HER”
A non-simp knows: once you place her on a pedestal, you’ve put yourself under her feet.

Simps? “My queen,” “You’re my world,” “I’m nothing without you.”

Bro… even SHE will start believing you’re beneath her.

Real men? They love, but they don’t worship.
They admire, but they don’t lose frame.

Women can only follow men they respect, not men who beg.

3. “A MAN WHO CAN’T WALK AWAY HAS ALREADY LOST POWER”
A non-simp understands:
The power to walk away is the power to lead.

Simps?
“I’ll do anything to keep her.”
“She’s all I have.”
“I can’t live without her.”

Bro, you’ve surrendered your balls.

Real men? They’re ready to walk away if respect is lost.
They know: staying where you’re not valued is self-abuse.

4. “YOUR MONEY MUST SERVE YOUR MISSION—NOT HER EMOTIONS”
A non-simp’s money builds himself first.

Simps?
“Babe needs money.”
“Babe wants hair.”
“Babe’s rent is due.”

Their account balance = ATM for her lifestyle.

Real men? They fund purpose, not parasitism.

They help, but they never cripple their finances to sponsor a princess lifestyle.

5. “A MAN WHO CHASES WOMEN HAS NO TIME TO BUILD KINGDOMS”
A non-simp knows: the more you chase, the more you waste time.

Simps are marathon runners:
From one DM to another.
From one date to another.

Meanwhile… kings are busy building empires.
Money. Power. Value.

And guess what?
Women chase men who build.

6. “A WOMAN MUST QUALIFY FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP—NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND”
A non-simp doesn’t audition for women’s approval.

Simps?
“Do you like me now?”
“Am I good enough?”
“Please give me a chance.”

Bro… why are you applying for a job you created?

Real men?
They ARE the prize.
Their standards select.

A woman must qualify to sit beside him, not the other way around.

BOTTOM LINE:

If you’re still simping, you’re living life upside down.

Stop chasing validation.
Stop funding entitlement.
Stop surrendering power.

Start building YOU.
Respect flows from strength.

Women don’t follow men who beg.
They follow men who lead.

If this post burns you—it’s because you need it.

Generational Attention For A Generational Project

Why the Dedication of the Ark Project Needed a Review: A Comparison of the Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Legacy Project of Living Faith Church

by Daniel Breakforth

In the heart of Nigeria’s Ogun State stands a bold testament to faith, architecture and vision: In a portion of Canaanland marked out as 'Shiloh', the 50,000 capacity Faith Tabernacle, once the world’s largest church auditorium by seating capacity sits gracefully. Just a few meters away, rising steadily from the soil of Shiloh, another landmark is taking shape—the Ark Legacy Project.

Both megastructures were conceived and commissioned by Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel International), under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo. While each project reflects the church’s spiritual mandate and commitment to large-scale development, they represent 2 distinct eras in the ministry's evolution.

Faith Tabernacle, a Monument of Supernatural Speed was commissioned in 1998. The Tabernacle was constructed following what the church describes as a prophetic mandate borne out of the 10 April 1982 utterance that 'at the base of this Commission , a tent will seat 50,000'. At the time, it was to commence, the Tabernacle was an ambitious undertaking—an auditorium designed to seat 50,400 worshippers under a single, column-free roof, a feature then rare even among commercial and stadium structures. One which timeframe of one year was rejected by all the big time Construction players in the industry, both foreign and local.

Groundbreaking took place on 29 August 1998 while construction began on 18 September 1998 and was miraculously completed in exactly 12 months, with the dedication service held on 18 September, 1999. I still remember the painting of the Tabernacle 7 days to dedication day while the glass panels above the Honour Entrance, the last to be fixed, were completed on the dedication morning.

Notably, the project was funded entirely without debt, relying solely on voluntary offerings and sacrificial giving from church members and church branches around the world. At the time of its completion, it earned a Guinness World Record as the largest church auditorium in the world by capacity. Beyond its architectural feat, the Faith Tabernacle became the anchor of the larger Canaanland vision, which would eventually include Covenant University, residential estates, and various ministry headquarters. This was captured in a 12 year project called the Canaanlsnd Project (CLP).

Fast forward to the Ark: A Transgenerational Vision:
While the Faith Tabernacle marked the fulfillment of an earlier prophetic vision, the Ark—also called the Legacy Project—is the embodiment of a long-term, transgenerational agenda. Envisioned in the mid-2010s with the first mention I recall of such a plan in April 2012 before the full blown announcement at Shiloh 2015, it was officially launched with a groundbreaking on Thursday 25 March 2021, The Ark is projected to seat about 109,000 worshippers, more than double the capacity of the Faith Tabernacle. In the event that all spaces within the Ark is occupied, it could take up to 200,000. This has been explained many times. The structure is designed to span a footprint of about 66,753 square metres, making it one of the most expansive church buildings under construction globally and the largest in the world by size. It will be 3 times the size of St Peters Basilica and more than 2 times Our Lady of Peace Basilica.

Unlike the single-level, single overflow Tabernacle, The Ark will feature multiple floors, including mezzanine levels, basement access and integrated smart infrastructure.

Architecturally, it departs from the simplicity of its predecessor, embracing a modernized, complex form that reflects not just growth in numbers but evolution in scope and functionality. Still, one principle remains unchanged: the Ark is being built without loans or foreign financial assistance.

The project is intentionally labeled a “legacy seed”—a structure meant to outlast its founders, speaking to future generations of the power of vision, commitment and spiritual dedication. The Founder has often emphasized that if Jesus tarries for another 1000 or 2000 years, He will meet the Ark filled with on fire and vibrant worshippers.

Contrasting Structures, Unified Purpose
Although both projects differ in scale, complexity and technological advancement, they are unified by a consistent philosophy: faith in divine instruction, financial integrity and spiritual purpose.

The Faith Tabernacle will forever be remembered as the project that validated the church's capacity for large-scale execution within improbable timelines. It is a symbol of obedience and supernatural accomplishment. In contrast, The Ark is about legacy—ensuring sustainability, scalability and continued relevance for decades or even centuries to come.

Moreover, both structures have cultural and symbolic importance beyond their physical form. They represent African-led innovation in global Christianity, challenging traditional Western-centric models of religious expansion. They also contribute to urban development, educational advancement and spiritual engagement across multiple continents through Winners' Chapel’s global network.

The Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Project are more than architectural marvels. They are physical embodiments of spiritual convictions, raised not merely to house congregations but to serve as landmarks of faith, vision, and transgenerational purpose. As The Ark continues to rise in Canaanland, it builds not just upon concrete and steel—but upon the unshakable foundation laid by the Faith Tabernacle, a foundation of faith, sacrifice and divine fulfillment.

Most projects anywhere close to this have taken between 12 and 15 years in modern times but none even close to the dimensions of the Ark. The nearest for now with 33 elevators, 8 chillers of 300 tons each and in terms of footprints is the KJC KINGDOME with a footprint of 58,400 sqm which took about 12 years as well as the Salvation Ministries Hand of God with 9 floors, 400 toilets in 20 units and a footprint of 56,800 sqm which has taken close to 15 years.

To the glory of God, we look forward to the dedication of this Generational Project with 129 elevators and escalators, 20 chillers of 600 tons each, 1,200 toilets, 12 floors and a footprint of 66,753 sqm at a time most suitable by the grace of God.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

The Founder has often emphasized that if Jesus tarries for another 1000 or 2000 years, He will meet the Ark filled with on fire and vibrant worshippers.

Contrasting Structures, Unified Purpose
Although both projects differ in scale, complexity and technological advancement, they are unified by a consistent philosophy: faith in divine instruction, financial integrity and spiritual purpose.

The Faith Tabernacle will forever be remembered as the project that validated the church's capacity for large-scale execution within improbable timelines. It is a symbol of obedience and supernatural accomplishment. In contrast, The Ark is about legacy—ensuring sustainability, scalability and continued relevance for decades or even centuries to come.

Moreover, both structures have cultural and symbolic importance beyond their physical form. They represent African-led innovation in global Christianity, challenging traditional Western-centric models of religious expansion. They also contribute to urban development, educational advancement and spiritual engagement across multiple continents through Winners' Chapel’s global network.

The Faith Tabernacle and the Ark Project are more than architectural marvels. They are physical embodiments of spiritual convictions, raised not merely to house congregations but to serve as landmarks of faith, vision, and transgenerational purpose. As The Ark continues to rise in Canaanland, it builds not just upon concrete and steel—but upon the unshakable foundation laid by the Faith Tabernacle, a foundation of faith, sacrifice and divine fulfillment.

Most projects anywhere close to this have taken between 12 and 15 years in modern times but none even close to the dimensions of the Ark. The nearest for now with 33 elevators, 8 chillers of 300 tons each and in terms of footprints is the KJC KINGDOME with a footprint of 58,400 sqm which took about 12 years as well as the Salvation Ministries Hand of God with 9 floors, 400 toilets in 20 units and a footprint of 56,800 sqm which has taken close to 15 years.

To the glory of God, we look forward to the dedication of this Generational Project with 129 elevators and escalators, 20 chillers of 600 tons each, 1,200 toilets, 12 floors and a footprint of 66,753 sqm at a time most suitable by the grace of God.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Haggai 2:9
