zigi:

bong4:
Please can you explain what this life po4 is used to power. Thanks

Ucheamani:
Do you know of any Christian in apostolic days who inspired others by accumulation of material things?

MhizzAJ:
Instead of these pastorpreneurs to be concerned about the things of God they will be thinking of how to acquire private jet with the church's money after if people start talking now they will say they are being persecuted

******
He's probably using the jets for mission purposes nah...Isn't it

Where on earth did he get such amount of money to buy private jets

Oh he does other businesses apart from being a 'pastor'...

I don't like talking about 'men of God' but would Jesus ve bought a private jet if he was on earth

It's a different thing when government officials acquire private jets,we might just tag them as criminals but what do we call pastors that tend to tow the same line

The government officials do not see us...they do not know what the ordinary man is going through but what about these pastors that come in contact with the hungry man, the needy,the poor at least once a week...He sees the suffering but still goes ahead to buy private jets...I do not think God is happy with such kind of people

Most pastors are trying to outshine the others these days...no difference between some of them and the so called politicians

so many jobless people in church...Lots of widows paying their tithe meanwhile the children of these pastors are schooling abroad living a good life

Jesus would have provided shelter for the poor....helped the needy...built factories to help church members get jobs

I don't know if God placed this pastors on earth for riches

Emusmithy and Co go and read James 1:27
Micah 6:8
This idea of private jet doesn't make sense to me

And nobody should quote me again....

Nutase:
Because you cannot afford it you are now abusing pastors whom God has blessed. You curse in vain because God's blessings maketh rich and addeth no sorrow.

kolafolabi:
I think he deserves a kudos! Don't you think Atiku is also struggling for what Obj did twice? Such is life!

khalids:
Really don't like it....It might be good for playing the game....but as a fan I would not buy it to wear.....From a fashion point its has zero appeal'

I prefer the jersey they used for the qualifiers .....that I will definitely buy.....My opinion anyway

bakynes:
He is a Democratic elected leader not a Monarch, he is a Civil servant, the man doesn't have to stand, Osun citizens are not his subject but his boss,they elected him. Stop the African mentality.

Guyman02:
If you leave in some parts of the North, you will understand that this indomie and half egg is a rare delicacy for these children, it will motivate many of them to come to school.
Go to any motor park in some northern cities, buy and plate of rice and see the number of children that will be staring at you with hungry eyes, then you will not condemn what they served to them by judging them with your own children status living in Abuja City Center or Lekki

Notice that the second child in that picture has no shoes on her legs because her parents cannot afford school sandals and you didnt see that one

Buhari Belongs To No One! Allow The EFCC To Do Their Job!

This Is One Of The Legacies Of Your Hero.

africanusvu:
This is the man who av so redefined Christianity that it now seems to difficult to comprehend d bible again.This.to me.is the man who have made heaven seem so easy that hell now seems non existent.this is the father of Heaven made easy. The man who av deceived us to now believe that you can easily pay off ur sins with cash no mater how big ur sin.This is the man who teaches the worldly youths what they want to hear not what they nerd to hear.This finally is the man who have taken paradise too far from today's generation.who works against Christ.spoiling what have been rrpairrd

abiodunalasa:
is this not the same man who couldn't win a ballot box needless to mention a polling unit in the gubernatorial election in Kwara state back in 2015...?
How can such person of low pedigree lead a national party?

jboixxx:
Don't worry. When your alert enters, you go fear. Your 28days been paid?

ChiefPiiko:
which MDA?

ChiefPiiko:
you should raise a variation and be placed on your new grade level and step approach your promotions department and IPPIS salary sections dept

ChiefPiiko:
Calm down I work on the IPPIS platform when I am free I will reply you but I think you will be paid with CONHESS its among the highest for regular civil servants

shadrach77:
You are slightly silly. Did the voice in the song sound like that of a woman ?

AntiWailer:
Sharing money and coming to Platform to come and tell us about good Governance.

Tonason:
I am so sorry for the members of all such churches. Jesus didn't have not even a Donkey, the one he used the time he entered Jerusalem was borrowed Ass.

admax:
The poke-nosing nature people have put on during this social media era is alarming.

1. If you are a member of Salvations ministries and you aren't happy that the church (or certain members) bought a jet for their Pastor, please leave! I am sure no one forced you there.

2. If you aren't a member of their Church, wetin consign you? Did their members complain to you, please tell them my point above or keep quiet!

3. If a church or Pastor refuses to help the poor amongst them (which I know most do) then God will judge such Church or Pastor.

Don't for once think people/an entity don't have the right to spend their money on things they like or need just because we have 'poor people'.

Most of you will shouting here, will go spend thousands or millions in a club tonight, don't you have poor neighbors? Why not give them the money than spending it in a club, you wouldn't but be shouting here upandan!

Prince4945:
But the Jesus all these pastors are praying to lived a poor/average life, so why can't they emulate his life and do away with material/wordly things .

God right now

IBBG:
This is bold vision at work. The problem with our public universities apart from funding is bad management. The govt also on the other hand is not serious about the education of its citizens. Otherwise education will have been a prority for each successive govt, with funds judiciously dedicated to it, both for the public universities and the private ones. Govt should also acknowledge private universities that are actually well run and look for a way to create synergy with them, interms of scholarship for students willing to study there, rather than send them overseas.

Statsocial:
The heartbeat of the Chancellor, Landmark University, Dr David Oyedepo, for exhibiting excellence in human endeavors is palpable. His well-articulated ideas towards achieving the excellent feat are golden and as convinc- ing as ever, notable of his erudite mien. Unmistaken is his passion for the transformation of humanity in alignment with the precept of God.


He is frantic in his commit- ment towards creating platforms for generating solutions that are requisite for improving the educa- tional landscape of Nigeria and the continent of Africa. His quest for redeeming the image of the black race via development of leadership capacity and spearhead- ing of an agricultural revolution led to the establishment of Landmark University with a highly competi- tive learning environment for all students, who are groomed through the custom built programmes such as Total Man Concept, Towards a Total Graduate and Agripreneur- ship packages, the unique sell- ing points of the University.


Dr Oyedepo’s huge investments and impacts in this regard have offered students and Faculty ample access to the top-notch teaching and re- search facilities in the University that keeps receiving great acco- lades in her drive for a world class status. In this interview, the Chan- cellor bears his mind on why the Core Values of the University have essentially remained a remarkable force to be reckoned with globally and the undying quest for the reali- zation of the University’s agrarian mandate.


Excerpts: 1.
Interviewer: The seven Core Values of Spirituality, Possibility Mental- ity, Capacity Building, Integrity, Responsibility, Diligence and Sacrifice have remained major at- traction to the parents who have willingly sent their children and wards to the University. How do you plan to sustain these values in a changing environment that uni- versity education is facing with strong regulatory environment under which universities operate?


Chancellor: The Core Values were drawn from the background of the need to raise changed people who will change their world. We are poised to bring back to the fore the character di- mension of learning at the Univer- sity level, like we usually say they are found worthy in character and learning. There has been zero at- tention to character when we came onboard, so we needed to create a platform that helps enhance the character aspect of learning and it is showing today.


For instance, the Nigerian graduate report publica- tion ranked Covenant University Number One in the list of Nigerian Universities with the most employ- able graduates having 90% employ- ability rate. That is the effect of the Core Values, it helps to equip our students on the pathways of life so that they can be relevant to the so- ciety and I think we are achieving that.


There is a university in America where they have 16 of our gradu- ates undertaking postgraduate stud- ies and when Professor Okebukola went there on official functions, they said we have 16 Nigerians here and they are unique, their packaging, commitment and intel- ligence is unique, they said they are from one Covenant University, he said oh I am not surprised I am part of that University too. He was very proud of those children.


He gath- ered them together and had a chat with them because of the quality of training. The whole essence of what we are doing is to raise world changers who will first need to ex- perience the changes themselves. Leave God behind, you are empty, throw integrity to the trashcan, you are finished, lack sacrifice, you can- not be a successful leader; a sacri- fice gives his best and beyond his best to lead a cause in which he believes.


All those things are there to help equip the student to be relevant because relevance is key. You cannot be relevant and not be significant. What we are trying to do is to ensure that platform is cre- ated overtime and the same thing is taking place in here, Landmark University. Most institutions to- day now have Core Values.


They did not have any before, you just live anyhow and finish anyhow, if you finish, that is what we do with the Core Values. Examina- tion malpractice culminates in summary dismissal from our sys- tem, we cannot be raising people who will deal with corruption and are corrupt themselves.


Examina- tion malpractice at 500 level, no mercy! We are convinced that he has been doing it since 100 lev- el otherwise there would not be need to do it at 500 level, and we have a psychological basis for that.


There is no way you will go for ex- amination malpractice at 500 level in Engineering, if you have been passing your exams since 100 level. So we are also out to sanitize the intellectual platform of our na- tion.


I must say this; Governors have come to pick their children from our campus. The daughter of our first Vice-Chancellor was rus- ticated from the University for one year, my adopted son was thrown out for one year at Covenant, so there is no white cow in the system and that makes everybody shake and fear.

If I must mention it, one of our for- mer Presidents had a relation that had a son rusticated and called me, I said I am sorry, I do not get involved, please talk to the Vice- Chancellor. He said can I have his number, I said no and we are still friends. Because the moment you make rules and you abide by the rules yourself, everybody is forced to follow, and that is what we are trying to do.


We are in dire need of leaders in our country and we will be wishing till death until we start raising the kind of leaders we want by taking them through the princi- ple of this kind of training so that they can be there to effect changes.


Interviewer: A major indicator of success in the University administration is the degree to which it can at- tract and retain high quality Fac- ulty. What plans are on the way to achieve this feat in Landmark University?


Chancellor: The plans are obvious, let us maintain conducive atmosphere for learning and research.
Let us generate good comfort for faculty and staff. There is no system that does not have staff turnover; the rate may differ from one place to the other.

We are sensitive to the need of faculty and staff, so when they bring forth their needs we see which one can be addressed per time. We are committed to excellence; if you know how much your univer- sity spends on power, then you will know we are doing our best to keep life comfortable. We believe in re- taining faculty and staff because it empowers continuity and helps to encourage those who are com- ing behind that there is something good in the land that they can be partakers of.


Interviewer: We appreciate your commit- ment to the provision of first-class infrastructure in Landmark Uni- versity. Considering the mainte- nance culture in Nigeria, what strategies are in place for the sus- tainable maintenance of these in- frastructures?

Chancellor: We are not new as an organization to infrastructural development. One of the comments that NUC made in Lagos when they came for the verification visit for Covenant University was that they have been around for a week and they cannot pick a piece of paper on the floor, can this be Nigeria? We were in the slum as it were in Alimosho Area, Raji Oba.


I used the public toilet that they use there when I am hav- ing a programme, you find it intact. We are committed to continuous first-class maintenance of our in- frastructure.


At Covenant, we just invested about #380 million reno- vating staff housing that was com- pleted last year. We are known for quality maintenance culture, you can be in Nigeria and not of Nige- ria.

If you come to Faith Tabernacle on Sunday by 5pm you will not know anybody came there for worship with that multitude because the sanctuary keepers have invaded the whole place and tidy up every- thing, it looks like nobody has ever used the place.

We are very used to it and we want to continue to improve on it particularly on the approach. Poor workmanship is a major problem in our country and when the workmanship is poor, it tells on the maintenance.

Because the moment you make rules and you abide by the rules yourself, everybody is forced to follow, and that is what we are trying to do......that to me is the key to effective leadership which seriously, Nigeria needs.

GenBuhari:
Hearsay.

Ever heard of the Chinese whispers phenomenon?

Let the WB official present written communication where the president stated that they are to focus on the North.
The written word is more difficult to twist or misrepresent.

Even as I write it sounds a very unlikely thing to do since world bank only provide funding and are not (or shouldn't be) concerned what part of the country the funds are for.

Buhari is a monumental disaster to Nigeria

nairanaira12:
I'm sorry o. Your statement sounds stupid. Are you a teenager? So he should be allowed to climb God's Holy Alter to crack sensual jokes because he goes to church? What kind of thwarted, knotted, twists, confused understanding do you guys have about Christianity these days? Do they even teach you guys anything reasonable in those churches of yours?
