A kind gesture towards the construction of the non-denominational National Cathedral project by National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, has stirred a bitter debate on social media since Thursday, August 26, 2021.

On Thursday, the revered Islamic cleric donated GH¢50,000 towards the project when the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral, Apostle Opoku Onyinah, led a delegation to pay a courtesy call on him.

While making the donation, the Chief Imam said through his spokesperson, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, that he was confident that the money will aid the speedy construction of the mammoth edifice.

While the donation has been hailed as a major boost for the consolidation of peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in Ghana, others have said the money should have been donated to a better cause like building infrastructure in deprived Muslim communities.

The different opinions that the donation has sparked according to other commentators on social media platforms Facebook and Twitter are based on disillusionment among a section of Ghanaians in the government and the project.

Others, however, believe Muslim critics of the donation are being ungrateful because the Christian community has always donated in support of Islamic causes.

Below are some of the varied comments the donation has elicited on Twitter.

that money can add more students under the chief Imam's scholarship scheme…. the national mosque did you any church or pastor donating? even the government didn't

The chief imam's mates and religious fellows drink water with cattle and sheep and you call that real. The northern parts of Ghana is underdeveloped and people are dying from that and u call the chief imam not donating his ideas and energy towards that but to a building real. Smh

The politicians are very smart because they know that Ghanaians respect the chief imam that is why they smartly gave him the money to contribute towards the building of the cathedral….#FixTheCountry

Chief Imam for the first time lost it. Check the streets and see the number of Muslim begers. Check the zongos and tell me if eradicating the extreme Poverty there to donating this amount to building a cathedral that God wouldn't reside in?. God is Holy and only settles in Holy..

The chief imam is religious a leader. What did you expect him to do when there's a courtesy call on him by another religious body?

Donate the cash to a brothel?#ImamKawai

— Shaibu Sulleyman (@RealShaibu_S) August 27, 2021

Christians have been donation to Chief Imam on a regular…

Christians being the largest of the population have seen their taxes being used to support your parent's pilgrimages and no one talks about that…

— HIS ROYAL MAJESTY (HRM) (@DOboadum) August 27, 2021

They argue that during Ramadan our Christian brothers do give donations to FEED the fasting Muslims, for that matter, it justifies the Chief Imam's donation…

On the contrary, how can they compare a donation to FEED people to a donation to help build a worshipping place

As the chief Imam has given this huge amount for the building of the National Cathedral, are these pastors going to stand in the same Cathedral and preach against the Muslim community and Islamic as a whole?

— Lord Rampa🗝 (@benharti) August 27, 2021

Don’t be fast to critize,the money by all means is not the chief imams money it’s theirs that they are using the chief imam as a care to convince the rest of the citizens don’t be fooled by these politicians. On another hand know that this cathedral is been built on politics

— Mandela Montana 🔥❤ (@ShattaRonaldo) August 27, 2021

Nobody preached against worshipping of anything,the great disservice to this nation is religion , an American white president is evacuating Muslims in Afghanistan to the United States ,but in Ghana the chief imam can’t help in the building of a cathedral .

These are some of the comments the donation elicited on Facebook.
