Every reasonable parent surely desires children that would make them proud and happy in life. And the easiest way you can have children who will grow into responsible and successful adults in life, is to instill the fear of God in them right from childhood.

When a youth have the fear of God, he/she shuns wrong things that might soil the parent's names, but indulges in good and productive things that will make them happy and proud (Read Genesis 39)

Jesus has been in existence right from the foundations of the world (Revelation Chapter One Verse Eight) Then he decided coming to the world to die for man's sins and save us from hell. He was divinely placed in Mary's womb, and came into this world like every other baby.

Despite being God in man, when He was still a Young Boy, He grew in the will of God. Despite growing around other kids that could have corrupted Him and made Him deviate from the Purpose of God for His life, He still followed God's Will accordingly, and guess what, He was successful!!

Do you also want your children to be God-fearing and successful in life despite how corrupt many young ones are today? Then do these:

- Lead your children to Jesus Christ at the very earliest stages of their lives.

- Teach them the Word of God regularly.

- Always remind them of the Word Of God again and again, alongside the consequences of going against the Word. Also keep reminding them of the blessings associated with doing the will of God.

- You yourself needs to be a God-fearing born again Christian. Children prefers to follow examples than words. Your children are looking at you.

- Pray for them regularly, and always pray at home.

- Try to provide for their necessary needs so they won't want to venture into ungodly things just to get what they want.

- Take them regularly with you to Church and other good Christian gatherings. The tendencies are high that they would live to practice what they have learnt from childhood.

- Always discipline them appropriately when due.

God will use our young ones for His Own Glory in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!

Why forcing you?
I'm a Christian but that is plain wrong.
What happened to freedom of religion?
You don't force someone to convert to your religion.
That's stupid.


I can't believe some people above me support the lady.
See if she really loves you religion will not stand in the way.#Fact.
Just let her go abeg!
Converting to another religion is something. Now converting because you were FORCED to is something else.Let her go.Your true wife will come.

omenkaLives:
Thank you! Tell that bigot.

Most of the people, especially on Nairaland, who call themselves Christians in Nigeria are nothing but religious bigots. What sets them appart from the typical Muslim fundamentalist is possession of arms- simple.

Biggcake:
Religion has blinded yours eyes.
Why always think of dooms day?

What am saying is the reality.
This NGO is only out to dupe some gullible Christians by riding on their frighthened intelligence and you are clearly one of such people.

Biggcake:
Arrant nonsense..

Does it means that Nigerians dont kiss or are not sexually responsive in the real world?

Must you watch the channel?

90 percent of the goddamn sex starved members of the useless NGO are cruel cheaters, who derive fun from cheating on their partners.

My wahala with Naija be say we too dey pretend.

pavy:
Your level of ignorance on this issue is alarming! How can you say that the burden bearers in the church are the rich. Now let me use the example you gave. In a church of say 5 million members. Let's say 5% of that population are wealthy while the rest fall into the category of your 30k/month salary.

If you calculate 95% of 5 million, the figure will be 4,750,000. Now multiply that figure by N3000 tithe monthly, what you have is billions which even the tithe of the extremely wealthy 5% put together may not measure up to, all things being equal.

Therefore, it is wrong for you to insinuate that the contributions of the poor amount to nothing in the devpt of the church. There is strength in numbers my dear. A few poor persons donating 'change' might be worthless. But when millions of people donate ordinary N50 each, my brother, even Barclays will beg you to bank with them.

the church is the hope for the poor

You would be surprised that the fees covers only cost of maintenance and payment or even part of salaries, running a university isn't cheap. I won't be surprised if the church still pumps money to pay some salaries . In all honesty saying they are making profit may not be fair.

Mfm's MTU is around the same range 600-700 and they have a sort of scheme for indigent students (a sort of scholarship scheme ) where students can be adopted and someone either pays their fees or pay for their meals. Even standard feeding is now expensive.

The simple truth is quality education is expensive, studying science is even more expensive. Just one small equipment can run to millions of naira now that the exchange rate is terrible.

This is one of the reasons I was in support of LASU's increase then to 250,000, the fees students pay doesn't go anywhere and that's why we keep having terrible hostels, terrible facilities etc since government can't keep up with the cost.

Like someone said on this thread, somebody pays for the free or highly subsidized education we see. In some countries its the Government.


I would be very surprised if I see a private uni that charges less than 600k.

A university is more than structures that what some people don't understand and have some courses are more expensive than others because of the costs put in place to get such departments rolling.

People may have contributed to build a university but do you expect people to keep contributing to maintain the university, the university has to be maintained from fees paid.

atheistandproud:
I read some of these comments here and I am ashamed and angry. Angry at my people because they are perishing for lack of knowledge. Pastor Ayo buy jet, Bishop Oyedepo follow, Pastor Adebaba come join. I'm waiting Dr Olukoya and Kumuyi to follow. As someone said said, Pentecostalism + capitalism = Satanism. To all of you chanting that Education is expensive, there are two reasons why ventures are set up. It's either for profit or non profit. If a university is too expensive for a non profit venture then no one in their right mind would attempt it. All those advocating on their behalf are Pastorians, not christains. It's not by force to open university. Any one who does not that a university is a money making venture is either willfully stupid or deliberately. I rest my case.

How was he able to do all this the first time?

Bros na lack of serious work dey worry u... if you find a good engineering job where ur maths skill is put to test on a daily basis, u go tire 4 classroom

idris4r83:
Likewise myself, I love teaching chemistry but there's no time for that. I can teach chemistry for free and I've developed methods overtime for simplifying chemistry to aid understanding. But my work has made it impossible to impact this knowledge to people. The thing is government need to make teaching as lucrative as any other big profession and sound minds won't bother earning a livelihood from teaching. If doctors, engineers and bankers will be collecting over 100k per month I wonder what stops teachers from earning the same.

seguntijan:
"I could not resist talking about this, early today. The number of registered churches in Nigeria is 23,216 according to the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria. Note that these churches have branches. There may be over 2,000,000 documented church branches in Nigeria. Add to this, all the Mosques and undocumented religious houses all over Nigeria, we may be talking of 5,000,000. It calls for concern. Our major business in Nigeria presently is religion or faith marketing. Yet this business is tax free and enjoy free entry. Juxtapose this with the production base in Nigeria, you will see why we are a poor nation with all forms of recession. Last year there are just slightly about 1000 manufacturing companies still hanging out there in Nigeria. Many of them are even threatening closure. Some of the old factory premises have been converted to churches and Mosques. It is sad. These companies who produce what we eat and use in this country pay tax and go through harrowing experience to do business. They cannot afford the limousines, luxury homes and private planes these faith leaders use, yet they are the ones that pay tax which we use to build roads that these faith preachers travel. We have got many things wrong in this country. Faith without work and expecting miracles is definitely a mirage. Time to have a personal relationship with God and focus on productive work. I am a Christian and a believer but I find it difficult to accept what is going on. The starting point is to bring all churches, mosques and religious houses to the tax bracket, tax religious organizations as we tax our companies. Give them tax deductions/benefits where they spend on charity as applied to businesses Nigeria.
According to one of my Wards whom I am proud to have mentored "Nigeria would have been such a great country to live in if the passion with which churches are created is the same way enterprises are established and industries developed by individuals. With this, meaningful and gainful employment would have become a thing of the past.
In a sharp departure from what I was thought in my home when I was growing up, I suddenly realized that nobody talks about industry and hard work anymore in Nigeria but miracle.
It is so painful that the teachings of hard work, honesty and industry have been replaced with the teachings of prosperity via a divine means in my dear country.
Professor Alan Rugman, of blessed memory, thought me at Henley Business School that key factors of economic growth in any country are the presence of viable industries and strong competition within the industries.
We must all imbibe the spirit of hard work, industry, patriotism and honesty for us to grow as a nation"
That is the view of one of the 24 young and promising Business Managers that I mentor. It is a food for thought as we start the new year."
