THE POST BELOW HAS BEEN CIRCULATING ON WHATSAPP FOR A WHILE NOW AND I SAW IT AGAIN THIS MORNING BUT NOT TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT THIS TIME AROUND. KINDLY READ THE POST AND DROP YOUR COMMENT. MY RESPONSE IS ALSO ADDED AS A COMMENT ON THIS THREAD.
Who is actually robbing God?
BOWEN UNIVERSITY N650,000 per semester
COVENANT UNIVERSITY N640,000 per semester
BENSON IDAHOSA N500,000 per semester
BABCOCK UNIVERSITY N450,000 per semester
REDEEMERS UNIVERSITY N450,000 per semester
AJAYI CROWTHER UNIVERSITY N350,000 per semester
MADONNA UNIVERSITY N350,000 per semester.
All these UNIVERSITIES were built from TITHES and
OFFERINGS of the common people who now can't afford
to send their children to these schools today.
Where is the morals and responsibilities of the
churches as charity in Nigeria?
What is the difference between church and political leadership in Nigeria?
These schools were all built with the sweats of their church members who kept sowing seeds like:
-special offering seeds
-first fruit seed,
-redemption seed,
-thanksgiving seed,
-harvest seed,
-tithes,
-pastor's seed,
-church building seed,
-evangelism seed,
-father's day seed,
-mother's day seed,
-children' day seed,
-Pastor's cake seed,
-olive oil seed....etc.
These schools are now elite schools, only for the rich politician children.
The gainers then use the profits to buy private planes & jets to fly up high in luxury, ride Exotic Cars and live in expensive Mansions, while their members, (who are mostly the least of Jesus people) sleep hungry.
The next Sunday, they will read Malachi 3:6-12 to these members again without making reference to Deuteronomy 14:22-29 about their own responsibility to these poor members in their churches.
If you think this is unfair, like me, please pass on this message because this is reality and we also need the CHANGE here!!!
Thank God for early missionaries who built schools and gave basic
education FREE or NEAR FREE to many of us including the CURRENT LEADERSHIP of these churches and universities.


Please leave these Universities alone.
If you take away subvention from government universities and free education from Federal Universities, your tuition fees cannot be less than
# 200k .
Ask Fashola what he saw when he increased LASU fees to #250,000 per session (a government university for that matter - built with taxpayers' money).
Ask Oshiomhole why he increased AAU's school fees to over #120,000.
These men/ministries built these schools with hard-earned money - they could have gone to build it abroad (where they would charge higher rates - more than triple of what we're currently paying in Nigeria), they could have built banks (maybe you would have asked them to start sharing money FOC to church members). A Federal Government professor earns #500,000 basic salary and I'm sure if he works in a private university he will earn almost double of that (monthly). Multiply by 12 to get his annual income. Then multiply this annual income by the number of professors in these schools. Add that of Associate Professors, Readers, PHD Holders (Senior Lecturers), Lecturer I, II, Assistant Lecturers, Graduate Assistant Lecturers...
Then add the Non-Academic Staff which are usually more than double of the academic staff across the School...
Add the tax they pay to government, the (first class) Health care facilities, the feeding of all students 3 square meals 7 days a week each session, constant power supply (Diesel Plant or EDC), comfortable accommodation on campus for all students - (all of which are not obtainable in public universities that charge about half of these private universities' fees)...
...you'll eventually discover that these christian-founded private schools are charging what I can term as reasonable fees within their operating capacities which is far higher and more efficient than that of govt-owned Universities.
Moreso, these schools were not built for charity as they have no donations from outside/foreign sources. They operate strictly with IGR and loans and they pay taxes too.
I think it's time we put our criticisms into perspective and stop the crucifixion of persons and institutions who mean well for Nigerians (especially the youths).
Instead look into the lives of politicians that you voted in as custodians of our common-wealth (taxes, duties and other national income) and ask yourself how many personal/national investment of these persons are you currently benefiting from? Obasanjo, Buhari, Atiku, Yar'Adua, Jonathan, Sambo, Osinbajo and your past and present state governors, senators and representatives... These are the ones who owe you accountability. These are the ones you should call to question.
As we speak, Covenant University ranks among the top ten Universities in Nigeria - higher than universities that have been since over 40 years ago.
That you cannot afford it doesn't make the fees unfair or undue. It is akin to one saying the price of gold is unfair just because the common man can't afford it.
This writer, seeing he has no point to justify his/her irrational accusations, ended up appealing to Missionary schools, revival and religion in order to confuse readers and make his point. But the truth is, we are not all as gullible. You can't deceive everyone at the same time. There are some of us who can still separate issues and address them objectively differently.
In those times (referred to) when Missionary schools were built in Nigeria and other West African countries, Europe and North America was vastly developed as against the underdevelopmen
t that was obtainable in Africa those days. Those secondary and primary schools were funded by colonial Masters with profit from their business activities of exploiting our resources. Their schools back in England, Portugal, USA were charging high fees just as is currently obtainable in most foreign schools. The truth is - we may not be classified as 'Developed' in the full definition of the word, but Nigeria can no longer be termed 'underdeveloped', no, we've gone past that stage. As you can see, how many of the so-called Missionary schools do you have left? Govt has taken over (almost) all. In fact, Nigeria is now the one sending Missionaries to these countries in the wake of the moral crises, relativism, liberalism and atheism that has greeted the so-called. We just can't afford to be negligent of these matters.
Instead of criticising, ask God to provide for you so you too can get the best education for you and your family and even build universities too for others to attend and get quality education.
