Atheists are jokers. Have many of them have you seen win the Noble prize?

Almost all Nobel prize winners, at least in the area of science or literature, are either atheist or agnostic.

bar the scholarship they give, what is the hope of the poor man pikin. if there was private uni during oyedepo's youth, would he have been able to afford it
Think of it properly, the only thing they can do to help the poor is scholarship. Once they decide how much they want to give out through scholarship, they simply give the number of student that amount covers the scholarship. The amount being paid by other student who aren't under scholarship is a function of the set standard. What you pay is what you get.

he used donations yet the university will be unaffordable for a large majority of his congregation!
The donation is voluntary. If anyone among the congregation can't afford the school let him save his 'donation' instead of sowing megre N2,000 'seed' and then expecting a hundred fold in subsidy from the church. In seed and havest cycle, you don't sue the earth for not yeilding what it yeilds to your neighbor.

In decades to come. All these Christian varsities would be blazing trails; finding cures, inventing new technology and expanding the frontiers of learning.

We already have the Ebola rapid testing kit, Lassa detection process developed in Redeemers


We already have the 'Evolution proof' insecticide developed by Covenant.

We have the World Class Agriculture Research Institute and Sustainable Agriculture City being almost delivered by Landmark. We are getting there gradually!

Lalasticlala Desyner

In decades to come, a Christian should be expecting the rapture and coming of Christ, not how he will take over the world. Christians are not going to take over the world. Its the antichrist that will actually take over the world for a while before Christ returns and kicks him out. But by then, no one will need your universities as Christ establishes his 100 year reign. Funny how some of you who say you are Christians only think of the future of humanity in terms of worldly attainments. Dont you guys read your bible?

I like this.
When will those occultist/atheist who vehemently oppose the church build their own self?
They only multiply in govt school and hardly open their own to promote their own version of the 'truth'.

Buolding of schools is only opposed because it is pure business and not a training center for the church.
With the contributors deceived that the school will be of direct benefit to them which in the long run isn't.

This only thrives because the majority of the population live in poverty and the society is disoriented and far from ideal.

If they are so gifted they should go and try this move in developed countries and see if they would be so lucky.

Until we have more schools and hospitals than churches, until we have richer doctors than pastors, until we keep wake in research than church vigils, we will remain a shiit hole country. We have a lot to do to develop Nigeria, no fairy in the sky will do it for us

He that has done little is still better than he that has done nothing!

If you do a little digging on the CSR contributions of this Churches' Welfare Ministries to everyday living of common people all over the African Continent, you'd be shocked! Just how much of your data or money have you used for the benefit of the society or even just the next guy around you?

I would've thought in a "shithole" country that's fast sinking from misguided followership, greed, corruption and visionless leadership into anarchy; I would have tthought that well-meaning people everywhere would at least have celebrated the few beacons of light, bastions of hope and progressive elements they get. But no, it's the same-old, same-old conniving, gossiping, low-thinking, backstabbing bullshyt that's kept the Black Man down you see everywhere. What are your elected Politithiefcians doing? What dividends are they delivering?

Home-based Nigerians need to wake up otherwise 2019 will deliver not just election surprises but prolly war, then y'all will know that only suicidal people lie to themselves. If you're not happy, join the process and demand for more accountability in spending of Church funds and deploying of Church Resources but you better celebrate your own. Trump's US is not about handing y'all Free Aid Money for thieves to waste anymore!

Anyway, what're your mosques and shrines up to these days? Are they building schools, hospitals too? because it's either it's only the Churches that're getting together to make societal impact or all the bitching against them must truly be one humongous devilish campaign that jobless Naija hands are being recruited into without the people themselves using their sense before joining the trend!

Are Churches they government you voted into power?
Are they directly responsible to you?
Are they not even contributing more into Scientific Research & TEchnological development Than Any Other Singular Non-Governmental Body by All the Continental & WorldClass Universities etc they're building plus Charities all over the place?
Are they the ones looting you blind while you're busy hailing them and calling them "Chairman, Sai Baba" & Co!
Where Did Nigeria Miss it? Is it with the Proliferated Churches & their Dogged Memberships?
Could they be that entirely useless and Still be Thriving, Growing and Diversifying at this Rate?
What Societal Impact & Usefulness are they serving that people, un-hypnotized, willing troop into them?
People cling to Esoteric beliefs involutarily with a peculiar fervor out of certain experience OR they voluntarily seek it out when when the permutations of this life's Physical Realities are not delivering the odds in there favor! In Nigeria, you have too much of that. Nothing is Working yet people need Emotional Stability, Psychological Equilibrium and Closure.
They turn to Religion, you demonize them instead of your consistently failing snake-money swallowing Polithiefcians and civil service?
You don't know what you're beckoning...Anarchy, breakdown of Law & Order, Period!
Religion gives people Hope, Emotional Comfort, Peace, Presence of Mind, Fortitude to Process The Present & Determination To Face The Future....Take that Away From People. You Get Hopeless People! Hopeless People Do Crazy Shyt because He-that-Is-Down-Doesn't-Need-To-Fear-Falling.
Hopeless People Drug-Up, Act Suicidal, Do Random Killings and FvckUp Normal People with Sensible Expectations.
As long as People are Still Free to Bet Away their Money, chop Point&Kill, Bang Prostittutes; I feel the Issue of Folks taking Their Money To Church, without mentioning mosques, lodges and the Polithiefcians' favorite - Okija-Shrine, has been over-flogged into meaningless Cliche-hood!

Say Hi to your Imams and Babalawos sha, hope they're doing more than just skull-mining and planning the next bombing or Fulani attack?

I don't wanna quote the whole long epistle you buti just wanna make it clear to you that most pastors and politicians are the same. Their main aim is not to serve but to acquired more wealth(mostly ill gotten).
Pastors as well as politicians should be held accountable for their actions and decisions. There's no fairy in the sky that will help us do that. And that's why we should speak out when they are going off the right path. So when I do that don't say I'm trying to back bite or pull my own down. So u mean I should praise them when they scam people, get rich off people's hard earned income, commercialize the gospel, turn church to a business enterprise? All thanks to social media, people are becoming more aware of their gimmicks, the shakkles of religion is being broken bit by bit. More Nigerians are beginning to really see them for who they are: con men

Just like your earlier post implied, Nigeria lacked technological development which is an offshoot of a scientifically information-rich and results-oriented Research-based environment.

Nigerians are the exact opposite of that with their every mannerism, antecedent and outlook. With the advent of New Media, the country is fast becoming a nation of needlessly-reactive, alarmist wailers, who wail and "react" to every issue whether it concerns them or not, with wild conjectures, rumors, gossip and sometimes, simply hate speech! And then, they leave that issue there with no active-corrective-action in mind either on individual or community action level for sorting that condition. You can be sure they'd be back next week to wail over the same thing, in the same manner with no meaningful way-forward repetitively like mad people like that!

What kinda life is that?! No numbers to call, no Social Action Groups to convene, no Public Service Departments or Functionaries heads to demand for? Just like when a gang of toothless witchy-witchy grannies meet at the Village square and bang teeth endlessly while salivating over juicy palm kernels with no facility for cracking them.

Simply put, CAN/PFN wouldn't be able to play deaf if 3, 4 or more Action Groups start dragging issues with them with full files of well-documented cases of Abuse, Financial Misappropriation, funds diversification and Scandals. When they're picketed left, right and center with other dialogue groups bringing forward different frameworks for regulating them, they will sit up.

Not all of them are that bad. In a nation whose media churns out bad news consistently to a global audience, you'd be surprised to see the amount of hearty reports coming from Church corners especially their CSR charitable works. People attack them regularly but fail to consider the angle of massive shakeups coming against the peace, stability and safety of the very same Nigeria. They fail to consider the possibility of funding of Shekau, Boko Haram, Fulani Herders and their roving bands of suicidal killers who waste Southern lives for fun yet their major grouse is with Churches! What about top key Islamic cabals who've been fingered in possibly funding Insurgency to the level where Nigerian has a permanent spot on World Terror Watch Lists and it's now quite difficult for hommies who might even wanna come out because they average Nigerian is regarded in the light of a corrupt and potential troublemaker.

We talk of religious bodies as opinion molders and deny that they're doing any good despite the fact Christians mostly refuse to react with violence in the face of utmost provocation? What are the other religious bodies teaching their guys that make them such murderous killers? What if Churches were scrapped and former-christians now free to shoot, kill and destroy at will without any religious or moral restraints, what could be the possible result? Consider Southern Kaduna just 2days ago, Christian youths deciding to fight first or fight back, what do did you get in 48hours, 1000 houses burnt, about between 12-18 pple killed.

Maybe, all the Church folk needed was not all that harsh vilification and antagonism. It comes across as devilish persecution, plain and simple! Maybe, all they need is some more guidance, more enlightenment, more community action against erring pastors who go out of line not blanket generalizations pronouncing all of them (including those in poverty-stricken zones giving and not even receiving) as thieves and robbers fit for hanging. Been there, done that. Me I done tire of all that, the worst lies you can tell is the one you sell to yourself.

The same people who comfortably throw stones, at Churches, won't even dare make a tiny mouse-squeak when passing by a mosque. Is it because Church folk are intrinsically as nice and good as they come that we take'em for granted that much Or is it because we ourselves are so joylessly wounded on fundamental levels that the mere fact of them being comfortable in their realities of their own creation that we can't but hate on them?

Each to his own, thanks!

Stop posting fabricated lies against the church and pastors you forincator and son of the devil. Your government cannot give you electricity yet you are still paying for services they have not rendered. Today your failed Islamic-Fulanic government is deducting vats from everything you purchase or sell such as recharge cards yet they cannot account for it. You are jobless at your age yet your political leaders have been living large and take your money abroad.
You talked about stopping night vigil, so should go to club? listen to yourself,church activities are your problems?Religiously, tell me a Nation/people that practice religion like the Jewish people in the world? In paying tithes, giving and their prayers regularly yet in Medicine, technology, Agriculture, they are the best.
If the government of Nigeria runs governance like the church you that is talking as a jobless person wouldn't have been poor or jobless. The church missionary brought education to you and even civilization. What has Islam brought to Nigeria if not Boko Haram.
Covenant University that is owned by the church is well management with world class facilities and infrastructures. Since its inception there has never been a minute for power outage, 24/7Power/water supply and yet it is one of the best universities in the world better than your government universities. You think if pastors are thieves like you and your politicians they could have bulit big churches, schools, acquired jets for ministry and most importantly maintain them?
Your government cannot even maintain common Primary schools, hospitals even government jets.
What the church has done is huge yet they don't force people to donate like the government.
Even though you stop paying tithes or giving to pastors the church will still do well.
In UK, South Korea, US, government regulate church finances but pastors over there are still building edifice, acquire aircrafts for ministry, etc.
Oga the church build some of the public schools you see here today when missionaries came into Nigeria.
