Average Naija lives on 30k-50k month. 450k/yr. Our annual GDP per capita is $3000=N400k. Minimum wage is 18k/month/216k/yr. Rich pastor doesn't care about poor folks, but I blame the poor for caring and enriching the pocket of someone who doesn't care about them. 2 Likes |

asuustrike1: . This nigga is on crack...These so called men of God are actually defrauding Nigeria gov't because yhe economy is structured in such a way that informal sector is more in volume. These informal economy escapes taxes from gov't and thesame informal sectot pay 10% of their income to these fraud. Nigeria should imposed a 50% income tax on all churches and mosques in Nigeria |

UlqU3:why did you conveniently forget to mention apostle paul who was into trading business and also making of tents? why did you forget to mention david or solomon who ruled kingdoms? no you wont, but you mentioned john the Baptist that fed on wild honey and locust and used animal hide for clothing. why didn't you mentiom joseph who was a governor of Egypt? they weren't called by God I guess? |

Listen ...no one is saying it should be free or equal to state or federal universities but at least make it affordable to all. There was a time when state universities were more or less elitists ...very expensive but they were no way better funded compared to federal universities. How can you have the poor in your midst and yet charge so high that they cannot afford to send their kids there? Fine its a choice to be borne by all so I guess they had better announce in church that the place of worship is for the rich alone .....#mtscheeeeeeeeew sarutobie: |

Oyedepo dey claim church, pastor Chris dey claim church ownership, T.B Joshua too! them forget the people wen pay tithe? Nigerian govt need to look into church scams and pass laws to protect church goers. And the church goers need to be bold enough to demand receipt for tithe and offering or keep their money. If your pastor uses body guard over protection of the blood of Jesus or holy ghost, You are being scammed! If your pastor rides more than one car where there are poor people struggling in the church, you are being scammed! If your pastor does not give weekly account of church tithe, offering and church balance, you are being scammed! If your pastor has more than one house, you are being scammed! If your pastor's children are oversea, you are being scammed! If your pastor keeps saying your blessings are on the way, when all you need is N500,000 assistance from the church to start your business, you are being scammed! If you are an usher in church and you are not being paid adequately to cater for your rent, feed, expenses and family you are being scammed! If your pastor tells you, you are working for GOD you are being scammed. If your pastor has a jet and every member of the church can not fly in it, you are being scammed! Nigerians why don't you get it 4 Likes |

Baddestguyp: the reason this argument exists is cos most Nigerians claim to worship God but instead worship their pastors. imagine someone called bishop Oyedepo a demi-god.Wow. Nicee. more like a sign post that leads people to a place and doesn't get there. However we shouldn't be too quick to tell who's fake and who's not. |

i dont critize MOGs, but i know Jesus our role model would never have opened such an expensive school. He had love and pity for his followers, his would have been free or cheap. IF U LIKE INSULT ME. THE TRUTH HURTS. |

erico2k2: Who will run the generators, who will Pay the Lecutrers, who will maintain the enviroment, who wil pay the Non acedemic Staff, who will pay maintain the library. I guess Christ will wil come down and finance the running of the Private University. Since you are Christain / Moslem , wait for God to come down and pay you Bills, if u are a A Freethinker, stay and home and let your toughts pay the Bills, if u are a traditional Worshiper, wait for sango to foot ur bills. I guess the MB you are using was sent to you from Heaven. A Private University is like any Instituition accross the world it needs Money to Function. 4 Likes 1 Share |

asuustrike1: . First lie, An average Nigerian can't afford N1m for a burial. If you say the family consisting of 50people altogether can contribute for the burial. Not a single average Nigerian coming up with such huge money. There is no excuse for charging such outrageous amount of money in the name of quality when the money used in creating the schools is from the tithe of these same people. You receive free, give free. If you can't give free, don't make holes in their pockets. |

sarutobie: My dear internet friend, 1) Paul was making tents and doing business BEFORE Jesus called him. (Go back and read my post again. I didn't ask who was working but who USED CHURCH FUNDS FOR HIS BUSINESS) 2) David and Solomon were KINGS not prophets/pastors. They were chosen to RULE the people not spread gospel. 3). Joseph was simply given the wisdom to interpret dreams. Does this make him a pastor/prophet? Was he a preacher Smh @ your display of intellectual and biblical ineptitude. 1 Like |

QuiverBox: Maybe this is one of the brainwashed member. We are not saying it should be free. How much is the church receiving at the end of each month in the name of tithes? Most of them won't pay their Taxes but they pay tithe. |

this is naija for you. it is only in Nigeria and Africa that pastors enrich themselves at expense of their congregation. All these pastors do not have their congregation at heart, they are there to make money for themselves and families. come to think of it, where do they get the money they use in building the universities? is it not from the same church members but how many of the church members can afford d fee? very few, so sad. let us leave them for God.it is only God that knows his true servant |

cole265: Sir, I believe it is more expensive to run a university than to build one. Now do we expect the church to make the school affordable and the church should again be raising money every now and then to pay lecturer's? I don't believe it is a must to attend private university. The issue of papa's using church wealth as if it is personal wealth is another topic entirely. We talk like all the offering goes to the personal purse of the Bishop. Do you know how many people are on the payroll of LFC, a uncle of mine left KadPoly to join CU as a lecturer, so I know the pay must be good. We are just looking at the school fees we are not looking at the salaries of all the staff. The salary LFC pays may equal that of some states in this country but all we talk about is the private jet and how the jet is to be sold to feed the poor. Remember the poor will always be with us, because some have vowed to remain poor. If the members (some of whom are on scholarship) are not complaining, who are we to complain. Let any "full member" dispute this claim please. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Please can anyone tell me which of the pentecostal churches in Nigeria has provided recreation parks for the public. I doubt you will find any pentecostal church getting involved in such venture, since there is no money to be made. They will rather invest in daycare centre, nurery and primary/secondary school or similar money making schemes, Church should be about giving, the tuition fee being charged in their various universities to be honest is rather on the high side. May God Almighty help the ordinary Nigerian who is not invovled "in ordinary stealing", How will he be able to send his chidren to such private universities? |

There isnt enough schools in the country, and the ones available are sometimes underfunded.You wont ask your government for more input but you will tackle a church that decides to provide citadels of learning for the people by saying "too expensive" meanwhile a cheaper public school in lagos charged 250k tuition fees and the people went beserk..so dont come here claiming like everyone can even afford the cheaper government funded public universities. |
