its so bad these days . during Jonathan Era, they launder money using churches n pastors

How ?

koladebrainiac:
your Opinion is flawed .to begin with Nigeria Churches are the one encouraging most of these leaders to steal. like Catholic indulgence of old, the politicians believe as far as they are paying their tithes and all kinds of money they are saved. so they steal government money with impunity.

churches preach prosperity, unmerited wealth etc making brethren to be desperate pursue vanity just to make a statement financially

Nigerian leaders have been stealing since the days when churches were as poor as church-rat and churches believed wealth was a road to hell fire, so stop that daft talk of churches inspiring leaders to steal funds.

The author of the post doesn't realise that it is the failure of the church that is bringing about the problems in the country.

The church is supposed to produce upright folks who will inturn lead the way but the church is more focused on wealth and "unmerited favors" hence the moral decline of the society.

The fact that corruption and churches are increasing at almost the same rate means there's a disconnect somewhere.

The church according to statistics, has less followers than Mosques but you managed to blame the church for the ills of the society.
Realize that the church is not a place where people are forced to obey, it is a place where you take responsibility for your life and actions.

One of these men is the Vice President

And sorrounded by thousands of church-blaming minds who themselves are suppose to be govt.

Xisnin:
Criticizing evil is a job for every human. I don't have any input to armed robbers, kidnappers and fraudsters operations but
that doesn't stop me from criticising them.

Stop talking trash. Kidnapping armed robbery and fraud are random act of exploitation that affect everyone and therefore open to public condemnation. Do you go and oppose a group of market women who contribute their money towards a common goal they believe in and agree to pursue? The church is just like those groups. Through faith in God these people pay to 'chosen' vessels of God according to their conviction regarding God.
Don't muslims and occultic group member contribute towards their chosen beliefs? Go and arrest the pastors and church leaders if you think you have a case.

rikithor:
as it stands or is seen,let nigerian govt hand over its purse and project to the church as a consultant,in four years time,lets see the outcome

The outcome will be great development because the wastage associated with govt is unrivalled.

Glorified . . .

Please go . . .

Those in power have more faith in cows than in you prof.

Poverty is already doing a good job. Imagine the north having the oil the south has. It would have been worse.

We know better.
After confirming the bias of the IGP via series of veiled public comments, he finally gives the 'go ahead' to disarm the herdsmen. I hail thy Buhari.

The herdsmen are well known propagandists. You break one cow leg and they quickly claim they lost 10 men and 150 cows. They are well known for it.

Sad why did it fail?

What! The failed state called Nigeria.

People don't need to join. They are being kidnapped and brainwashed into it.

That's awesome. Dangote is building a 650,000bpd refinery with $12b and Nigerian govt that has no functional refinery squandered $8b in one steel company.

neveryou:
The 8 Northern States /south east has highest Number Of Universities

The 8 northern state of Kano,sokoto,jigawa,kebbi,zamfara,kaduna,katsina,bauchi tried.

8 states of northern region 20
Biafra 43
Sambisat region 4
Central region 10
West Central 10
Mid West 8
South west 19

You can't group state uni with federal unis. Some state prefer religious building to schools.

Fayose in trouble . . .

HigherEd:
Not when the criticisms are senseless and baseless to begin with.

The Criticism of Tithing or Giving to Church is baseless as it wasn't created by the Nigerian Clergy, it was well part of the operational mode of those who brought Christianity and has been in practice for thousands of years.

The criticism of private jets is also senseless. Many members are aware of their church's intention to buy jets so why are we bothered? No Church ever hid her jet so If a member isn't happy he should pocket his/her money. Simple! The way I was told the jet of winners was bought in 1997 after the Bishop climbed on the pulpit and called for donations, people donated and it was purchased. No divertion of funds, the stakeholders were fully involved and donated towards it.

The critism of fees in church universities is the most foolish one. They say congregation built schools yet congregation can't afford it. Unless you are part of the congregation it is really not your business either. Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Yonsei were all built and catered for by the Church(congregation) and today they charge in excess of $50,000 which poor Christian Americans can't afford. Yet these universities through innovations, inventions and research breakthrough have more than compensated for the loss of access to the poor. If the American Christians were short sighted as the unbelievers of Nigeria, Harvard would not have existed. Yale would be on her knees and the light of Notre Dame would be dim. The earlier we begin to see Church Universities from the angle of how they serve their Communities and not how they meet our own selfish demands the better.

So let your criticism be with brain

People let emotion override their reasoning power when money/resource is involved.
The church schools, for example already give massive scholarship to selected students. If allowing more students to enjoy the infrastructure at a fair fee is now a bad idea, let anyone who doesn't agree with the evaluation of the fee against service enjoyed go look for alternatives instead of blind criticism.

Afam4eva:
We will continue to criticize anything that we find wrong. be it Government, church, school or any institution for that matter.

If you are not a believer and have no input in something that doesn't infringe on your right, it will amount to misplaced priority for you to criticize that thing. Do you criticize a group of market or society women who contribute to a trusted fellow? If no, then you have no right to criticize the church because it is nothing more than a group of individuals (members) who pay money (sow seeds) towards a cause they believe in and that's handle by God's chosen representatives(pastors). When you criticize the leadership of such a group without belonging to it, you are challenging the members' right to trust and associate with that authority.

Criticizing the church for govt responsibility is one of the most stupid moves ever . . .

When you trade your soul in a pro-fulani coven to achieve fame.

obailala:
Hmm.. the number of reports coming up per second is now suspicious; it's beginning to seem like every crime these days is just conveniently labelled 'herdsmen' and that's where investigations end.

Many times they are herdsmen with no cow. Only few exception exists.

The north will still win.

Truth is the south is docile and not united.

What are you thinking of ? You want to create a section within a zoo ?

melodyogonna:
