how is the one in Nigeria serving living faith members in Nigeria ? When 60% members won't be able to afford the pay . Just say it another source of income for the church .

OK, it is another source of income for the church. Are you satisfied? You're OK now abi? Oya go and play..

PS: You can't Have what you Hate, you can't Attract what you Attack!

muller101:
at least it's still affordable to some extent even to the average earning citizen.

Yes, because govt subsidies pay the rest.

It costs 600000 per annum to train one Nigerian university student. Govt pays most of that cost. And even then it isn't enough to fund govt unis adequately

9jakohai:


Does money grow on trees.?
You people think Oyedepo is getting cash from the govt for his unis.

Fact is, he ain't. Hence the high fees.

University is not cheap

yes Money grow on trees. That's why banks have branches

Ghanians of Winners chapel, I pitty for una. Na so ee take start. They will appeal to you guys to give and sow seeds and give more becuase they want a world class university to carter for your children's educational advancement. You will give and give and give your all. By the time they finish building the school, your children will not be able to school there becuase of course you can't afford the fees.. They will then remind you that education is not free anywhere in the world. They will start a scholarship scheme that will carter for less than 20 students per year and claim they are doing charity work also.

You think I am lying? Come down to Canaan university here in Nigeria. It's the prototype they are about to start for you guys there.

i hope it will be affordable


Meanwhile guys check out my profile for your extender products

the church should do the same after all they tax the members in form of tithe

OtemSapien:
Magas don pay, shout HALLELUYAH!!!

Our tithes and offerings are working

Pay ur tithe or ai wee open d gate of hell and rain curse upon yu

9jakohai:


Grow up.

University isn't cheap.

Even if Oyedepo sells all his private jets, and his bling bling he still won't have enough for funding.

Go and ask the atheist afe babalola why he charges high fees too, or why govt cannot find 3 trillion for our universities.

You are talking out of point. Afe Babalola didn't use our tithes and offerings to build university. Oledepo used our tithes and offerings so he should be able to subsidize it for us na.

Guy, I can see that the educational revolution is taking over West Africa, and indeed Africa, but don't you think that will greatly reduce the amount of Ghanian applicants and other neighboring countries to them contesting for a space in Covenant University?

Yes indeed it may and that could affect the internationalisation rank of CU on Times Higher. But hopefully as CU continues to rise on rankings to at least top 400 in d next 2 or 3 years then more foreigners who are not LFC members would begin to seek admissions there regardless of the competition between LFC universities.
Frankly I am also worried about Landmark. A living faith university in Abuja may dry out her supply for students if Care isn't taken. The trick for Landmark would be to concentrate all Undergraduate scholarship of David Oyedepo foundation on Landmark only. Then Concentrate 60% of all scholarship fund for PG studies to Covenant university.

But in all I believe Covenant has carved out its own name and brand and would forever be sought after. If the Church is faithful to her commitment to Covenant as her Flagship university then Covenant may in fact be more internationally popular than Living faith itself.

Statsocial:

The Church has two universities in Nigeria already and two more currently under construction. This Ghanian own is to serve living faith members in over 150 branches in Ghana and is the only one planned for the nation Ghana till at least 2032.

You know that is misleading & false.

As it serves the rich in the population, who will be able to afford the high school fees and that, there are no caveats or special considerations for members.

muller101:

Well, it doesn't.

A university is a fund hungry machine. Largely because it is meant to be for training and research.

The fact that we don't have stable light and water makes many private universities have to pay for their ownsupply.

And many of these private unis have to pay their staff at the same level govt pays it's staff.

That is why fees are high.

I don't like Oyedepo. I think he is preaching flawed Christianity, but I have the good sense to know that university ain't cheap.

zionmade1:

Must it be in Nigeria?

yes. We are trying to discourage education tourism of Nigerians to university built by Nigerians abroad, and you're celebrating this.



Oyedepo is a business man .

zionmade1:

Must it be in Nigeria?

You don't have enough universities, let alone world class ones and you are asking if it must be in Nigeria.
Even Ghana have more universities per capital than Nigeria and better ones too.
You people are so deluded- from the government to the citizens.

good one

How do the ones in Nigeria serve living faith members?
Churches owned Universities have nothing, absolutely no service reserved for members.

Hehehe....see dem! Dem no go enter bank ask for loan to build university so dey can charge as much as they like. Dem go extract money from church members and build their universities, after that, they will remember say university no dey cheap again.

What makes a university world class?

I have seen many private Nigerian universities abuse this
adjective countless times without specifics.

OtemSapien:

Even if he did, at the end of the day, he would be broke, and have to close his university, and that is going to make things worse, especially as regards the limited spaces available for students who pass jamb.

And why should atheists get a free pass for charging high fees? I thought the new dogma was that you atheists are more moral than us religious?

University is expensive. Religion got nowt to do with it

MaziOmenuko:

So Oyedepo should pay staff 80000 and less, and forget about expanding facilities so that his school can be free.

Anyway, your problem is with Oyedepo, not with university funding, so we ain't on the same wavelength. Ta

muller101:

For your mind. Do you know what it takes to run a university? Can you volunteer to work at the university for free

hucienda:
Hope the worshippers would be able to afford it.

Quality education is expensive. People who cannot afford it should go to a government-owned institution.

Burger01:
It's business as usual

am telling you

kumakunta:
LOL.. Winners chapel PRO

LWKMD Nairaland PRO

They will save a lot on electricity bills.

Please are their foreign students in convenant university OTa

Wow!

Caseless:
yes. We are trying to discourage education tourism of Nigerians to university built by Nigerians abroad, and you're celebrating this.



Oyedepo is a business man .

The income of Living faith comes from over 60 countries in the world hence no nation can claim monopoly over the Church's funding.

SageTravels:



So the one Government built with your tax is free

It's subsidized at least but these ones arent

it would be so nice if winners chapel can build world class teaching hospitals that would cater for peoples health.Nigeria need good hospitals

Landmark and Covenant are world class by every standard. Take a tour of those two universities first then lemme hear your opinion. If you are interested I could always link you up with the University tour guide club.....
