Everytime Yoruba people keep disturbing us with Tinubu track record Tinubu track record.
My question is.... What are the track records of Tinubu in Lagos State huh
Ask your uncles who finished from Government secondary schools and Millennium schools in Lagos and whose WAEC or NECO fees were paid for by the Tinubu administration.

Secondly, I'm damn sure that if you don't live in Lagos; one of your close relatives does. So ask him or how about BRT transport services and the the Lagos Blue rail and Red rail. That man laid the foundation of those things your people are enjoying now.

So go back to your state governor and demand good governance from them!

You are very right. The ArchDiocese of Washigton DC alone has over hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. Hospitals and Educational Institutions that include higher institutions, high or secondary schools and primary schools....that is not including the value of the Churches that date back to ...and in very high value areas of DMV. There are other catholic institutions like Notre Dame and Holy Cross. You only need to look up on Endowment. I am a proud alumni of Catholic University of America. I could not afford going to an expensive school like that, but I was blessed with a scholarship that covered my Masters Degree...and I am not a Catholic. On our campus, we had and probably still have a strong Saudi Arabia Association lol. You figure it out

From Ai.
Local Church assets:
The archdiocese of Baltimore, which covers Maryland, has listed its assets at over $200 million, though this is likely an undercount.
Diverse assets:
The Church's assets include real estate (churches, schools, hospitals), art collections, and investments.
Catholic Charities' funding:
Catholic Charities receives significant funding from government contracts and grants, indicating a large operational budget.
Global estimates:
The Church in Australia is estimated to have around $25 billion in assets, while Germany's Catholic dioceses hold assets valued at almost $33 billion, according to a YouTube video.
In conclusion: While a precise total for the DMV region is unavailable, it's clear that the Catholic Church holds considerable wealth within the region and globally, encompassing various forms of assets and funding.



God1000:
From my own findings, estimates of global Catholic Church assets range from hundreds of billions to potentially over a trillion dollars if everything is included. However, much of this wealth is tied up in institutions that serve religious, educational, and charitable purposes.

The laity believe that the Pope derives his powers from spirituality. We live in a funny world indeed. It is a tax haven business set up with entities all over the place. The oligarchs and fund managers know. While many are preparing for their golden mansions(?) in heaven, church leaders live like they know something most people don't.

The Catholic Church bought and sold West African slaves. Don’t forget it.
West African slaves were used for farming. Did Catholic Church have farms?
