Before I comment on the post, I have some questions to ask here

1) How are mission varsities built and funded all over the world?

2) What was the reason for the establishment of CU and Landmark? If a higher institution is vision driven, should cost of fees be sacrificed for standard of education being imparted to students?

3) Are people aware that this same CU commenced Masters Scholarship Programme for First Class Graduates this year?

I believe what the Bishop is trying to say is that the establishment of the universities is part of God's vision for the the ministry, and approved fees is towards ensuring the standard of facilities offered is kept and that applying to study there is voluntary.

This post has nothing to do with Tithes and Offering please. T&O are voluntary and God loves and delights in a cheerful giver. He is never a task master and neither is the church!

Let's learn to make comments based on facts and not sentiments.

Value carries a cost, it ain't cheap.

Name calling does not change anything. There is no perfect human being in the world. All humans have temperaments.

So let's all watch what we say ooo.

Why is it that nobody talked about the Auto Pilot Bible Printing Press and most comments was just about the fees...

Hmm.... Let's beware of envy and jealousy. It will not take any man anywhere.

Congrats to Team Nigeria. Just few mins ago, the Nigerian Female 4x400m relay team came behind the Jamaican to pick silver medal today, the last day of athletics event in Glasglow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

God bless Nigeria.

Here is a summary of the interview conducted with President Goodluck Jonathan by Christiane Amanpour of CNN. What do you think about the issues raised. This summary was compiled by Samuel Burke, CNN

By Samuel Burke, CNN

In her testimony to Congress on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cited jihadist group Boko Haram as part of the broader Islamic militant threat in Africa.

Clinton said that the West-African group, whose name means "Western education is sinful" is a major threat to Nigeria – Africa’s largest oil exporter.

In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan agreed that Boko Haram could pose an existential threat to his country.

“If Boko Haram is not contained, it would be a threat not only to Nigeria, but to West Africa, Central Africa and of course to North Africa,” he said. “Elements of Boko Haram link up with some of al Qaeda in northern Mali and other North African countries.”

Emotional Clinton angrily denies Benghazi cover-up

For that reason, he said his government is “totally committed” to working with friendly nations to help contain problems in Mali. Like many other world leaders, Jonathan said the problem there has been exacerbated by the free flow of weapons out of Libya since the fall of dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

President Jonathan admitted that initially Boko Haram caught Nigeria off guard; now, he said, the country has been making progress to contain “the Boko Haram saga.”

He said his government is working day and night to make sure that the deadly attacks on an Algerian oil field do not happen in Nigeria.

The Economist reports that the death toll from Boko Haram attacks in 2012 was 1,099 – double was it was the previous year.

“If you look at the last six months, incidents of killing started dropping,” President Jonathan contended, insisting that the government is gaining control.

He denied suggestions from the U.S. State Department that the Nigerian government has conducted a large quantity of arrests and killings that have been indiscriminate, possibly driving more people into the hands of Boko Haram.

“The United States of America is completely wrong,” he told Amanpour. “No security agency arrests anybody just for the love of arrest. We have intelligence that enables us to arrest the people who have been arrested.”

President Jonathan also insists that poverty and unemployment are not fueling the violent rise of Boko Haram – citing religion as the primary motivation of this jihadist group.

As part of a counter terrorism effort, President Jonathan’s national security adviser has sought to engage in dialogue with Boko Haram.

Jonathan told Amanpour that the discourse has helped the situation, and that he will continue to pursue this strategy.

The Power of the Presidency

Christiane Amanpour was the first journalist to interview Goodluck Jonathan when he assumed the presidency in April 2010. One focus of that conversation was about the endemic electric outages that average Nigerians face.

Three years later, despite continued problems and a report by Nigeria's Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission that says 60% of Nigerians are without access to power, Jonathan said that the country has made significant strides.

“That is one area where Nigerians are quite pleased with the government – that our commitment to improve power is working,” he said. “I promise you before the end of this year, power outages will be reasonably stable in Nigeria.”

Endemic Corruption

“You cannot change the mindset of people by waving your hand. You must take means to make sure that you don’t create an environment where everyone will be corrupt and we are doing it very well,” Jonathan said.

He cited the previous elections as signs of success against corruption. International observers, The African Union, and the Independent National Electoral Commission all praised the polling.

But there is still widespread corruption in the oil industry.

Last April, Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said that 400,000 barrels of oil a day were looted from the country in just one month.
The International Energy Agency said that $7 billion dollars a year is lost annually to oil theft.

“Frankly speaking, speaking I want the international community to support Nigeria because this stolen crude is being bought by refineries abroad and they know the crude oil was stolen,” Jonathan told Amanpour. “The world must condemn what is wrong.”

Hello everyone,
If no one has noticed or willing to take the bull by the horn, I think I want to. Its so sad that MTN customer care could not be reached for more than a week now. No text message information to explain when the issue with the line has been neither has any information about this ugly incidence has been published on their website. This is not fair. Yet the company keeps making money on calls and recharge cards being loaded every second.

I would want users of the mobile network to contribute to this issue. Anyone that is connected one way or the other to their top managers should tell them that subscribers are not happy with this latest development. I hope it would be resolve soonest.

Email- femielecttech@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks for the info.
