Read this and lets hear your candid opinion. Personally I agree with the writer.

Churches are always at the forefront of
development. Various religion-related centres
promote building schools, hospitals, vocational
skills acquisition centres, farms and cottage
industries, and many.
One should also note various scholarships, free
books, food, clothes and even shelter. A church
wants to ensure that its members live good and
faithful lives before they pass away.
However, the modern church slowly abandons old
ideals, Vanguard notices and gives several clear
examples:
Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, July 6, 2014: A priest at a
church offers the congregation to appreciate God
with various contributions: N200,000 – special
blessing; then N150,000, N100,000 and so on, to
N50,000 to N5,000 and below.
At the end of the day, the priest made a general
blessing for the entire church. Apparently, nobody
came out for N200,000 blessing.
Pastor David Oyedepo of Living Faith Mission
(Winners Chapel) owns several private jets,
Gulfstream G550, Gulfstream G450, Gulfstream V
and LearJet with combined value of $98.3million
(N15.9billion).
The General Overseer of RCCG Pastor E.A.
Adeboye also owns Gulfstream V private jet. The
President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,
Ayo Oritsejafor, leased one of his flying machines
to cash smugglers
for illegal weapons purchase in South Africa.
The Pentecostal churches are in the lead for
revenue drive. The income is big, but the
programmes to help the poor are not big enough.
Well-established churches keep opening private
universities. Their fees range from N1.5 million to
N3 million per session, so only the wealthy can
afford it.
At the same time, there are 10 to 80 per cent
discounts for children and wards of the
university’s staff, children of pastors and some
indigent church members.
Dr. Joseph Antyo of the University of Mkar, a
private university in Benue State owned by the
Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA)
however believes that poverty issues in Nigeria
cannot be solved without participation of
churches.
“Churches should see poverty eradication as a
part of their mission of evangelisation, since not
only spiritual but also material salvation is
needed to truly free someone. Some of the money
that some churches have should be made
available to their members in form of loans and
other poverty alleviation measures, and the
churches should be able to build on their greatest
strengths which are trust and commitment rather
than dependency.
“Churches should also motivate their members to
work or to help create employment, since the lack
of it is probably the greatest bane of Africa
today,” he concluded.
