Gateway to Winners’ Chapel Stinks

As cleanliness is next to Godliness, one would be in a totally stunned to  come across piles of garbage in the road leading to Winners’ Chapel International, a celebrated place of worship in the country at the back of Pademba Road Prisons. On a journalistic spree around the famous Winner’s Chapel, these reporters were in utter consternation and dismay to see the mountain of garbage in proximity to the Church.

While observing the rubbish, these SEM reporters found out that the garbage has been accumulated there by residents in that area. Now that rains have savored the filths, the garbage emits offensive smell which is feared will contaminate residents living in that environment with contagious illnesses.

Worshippers who go there to worship daily are greeted with a nauseating odour that leave them with no other choice but cover their noses and pass hurriedly before they die of self-suffocation.

Residents who are concerned about this eye-sore in their  midst have intimated Sierra Express that it seems worshippers of the renowned Winners’ Chapel have deliberately ignored the teaching of the Bible that says “cleanliness is next to Godliness,” they quoted. They have also complained that the Church authorities are treating this environmental health hazard with levity because they don’t reside in the area.

“But they must remember that God in His immaculate wisdom does not answer prayers in an unclean place”, interjected one angry resident. In the puzzle of finding solution as to how to get rid of this garbage and stench smell, residents are seeing it as a collective effort from both Church-goers and them to call on the Freetown Waste Management Company (FWMC) to hoard away this environmental hazard that looming over them.
