Honestly, this might sound too arrogant, but I would
firstly apologize to anyone that finds this article
offensive. It has been in my mind to write about this
for quite a long time, but due to some tasks ahead, it
has not come to actualization. All Glory to God for the
opportunity.

Nigeria happens to be one of the most religious
country in the world, not only in Africa. The religion
with the highest population is Christianity, that’s not
we are here for anyway.
With this few information about Nigeria, I believe by
now, you, must have known well that the Christians
are very faithful to their spiritual fathers (Pastors,
Reverends Fathers and so on). Nigeria Christians in
particular takes good care of these spiritual fathers/
mothers.

If you are a Nigerian reading this, you should know
quite too well that most of the churches in Nigeria
with many branches around the states and have at
least stood the test of time have a University they
run.

Some reasons why they own this universities is due to
the immoral/indecent characters most Christian
youths learn when they enter most of the circular
varsities. Also, is another means of generating income
to the churches, in order to lessen the much demands
of resources most Spiritual Fathers impose on their
members. The above two mentioned reasons are the
fundamental reasons, why most Churches own a
University (varsities). Although there might be other
reasons which could be best known to the churches in
particular.

Let’s enter the main business. After getting most of the
funds use in building up that University from
members of all category, which they would be levy
according to their strength all in the name of sacrifice
and offering. Some churches don’t even mind going to
some rural areas where the inhabitant could be newly
converted believers where illiteracy and poverty
covers the entire community, yet gets some little
contributions from these people in the plan to build a
University for their children in the future.

After everything has been set alright. The school kicks
off. You would begin to hear thousands of Naira for
student tuition fee. Nigerian churches own the most
expensive schools in Nigeria, while these schools
where not created by one or two person(s).
It’s very annoying. They keep saying, it’s for the
maintenance of staffs and school management, while
these people would still run back to the church and
request for some funds of maintenance. Please, I beg
of the management of most of these Varsities to
consider at least their members. In my own opinion,
there should be a medium where the most
contributors of this varsities have a means of being
favored by the management.

Christians are said to be the light of the world. But
some of these things we do are not helping issues at
all… We should at least try to make things simple even
to the world. You can’t imagine, some high Universities
in Nigeria that students pays almost a million naira
which is equivalent to about $5000 as of when this
post was published.

Don’t judge me please. I stand to be corrected by any
reasonable person with unique thing to offer.
All Church owned University vice chancellors should
take note.
