Establishing many corporate entities is preferable to constructing numerous places of worship.

Church is a place to worship and sing praises to God only, but some individuals have perverted it into a money-making organization, which has led governments to tax them as a source of revenue for the state or federal government.

Asserting that believing in Christ will resolve all problems is a misconception. Instead, believing in God through Christ secures a place in the kingdom of heaven, but worldly issues persist unless employment opportunities are created to alleviate poverty’s impact on society.

Psychological distress may arise from lack of opportunities, prompting many young individuals to seek better lives for themselves and their families by emigrating.
Creating police stations or rebuilding correctional centers is akin to treating a polluted stream of water from the middle rather than removing the contaminant at its source. Therefore, the government should prioritize job creation to help alleviate the unemployment rate, crime rate, and crime-related cases in our society.

China and Japan have the highest population globally, and they have implemented measures to provide employment opportunities for their citizens, thereby reducing crime rates. It is often acknowledged that entrepreneurs have achieved financial success today, but it is crucial to remember that the children who lack proper upbringing will become miscreants tomorrow, posing a threat to our own children and rendering society unfavorable to us. Consequently, it is imperative that we collaborate to address this unemployment issue, as it is increasingly becoming a pervasive problem.

The Western world is implementing and achieving notable innovations for future generations, whereas we are still endeavoring to refurbish our hazardous roads and combat insecurity. The most effective strategy to combat insecurity is through the creation of employment opportunities, provision of complimentary education, and comprehensive seminars and training for our young graduates on how to attain independence.

Our educational sector requires comprehensive reform. The government should prioritize the practical aspects of education, rather than solely focusing on theoretical knowledge. To foster productivity, all students should engage in hands-on skills training, enabling them to become valuable contributors to society and avoiding potential pitfalls, such as misinterpreting scripture and exploiting vulnerable individuals for personal gain under the guise of religious offerings.

Furthermore, if we were to hypothetically convert all churches into companies, it is reasonable to assume that our unemployment rate would decrease substantially, thereby reducing the crime rate, and thus, worshipping God would have a positive impact as it would promote economic equality.

I recommend that the government prioritize job creation over constructing police stations. Furthermore, all churches should be repurposed as companies, similar to the models employed in China and Japan. By doing so, Nigeria’s GDP will experience a significant increase, alongside enhancements to the economic value chain.
