Adeboye must stop all this his blasphemy.

God's name must not be called in vain and worse still, when it is used in his quest for personal aggrandisement.

what makes u think God didn't speak to him what I feel is u r void of spiritual insight

I just read Freeze's opinion on tithe and I feel it is poppycock. didn't Abraham pay tithe to Melchizedek, was he a levite. pls endeavour to read Hebrews 7:5-10 the verse talks about Levi paying tithe to Melchizedek through the loins of Abraham.
lest we forget when the Pharisees came to ask Jesus about tax he said give into Cesar what belongs to Cesar and give unto God what belongs to God and tithing is of God malachai 3.
NB: this is nothing but my honest opinion.

I admire your optimism but most VCs of Nigerian universities don't even believe in the system they head but would prefer their children school somewhere else.

I disagree with dat

Pavore9:
I know you also laughed as you typed the 40% as we both know the real score No one enjoys stressful situations.

well I am laughing bow but d point remains dat most peoples from oau know d worth of what dey are getting

Pavore9:
All inclusive, the lawn and shrubs around the hostels should be calming to the mind and as one steps inside the hostel the ambience should invoke a sense that those living in it are minds who are drivers of positive change and not feel that you have entered a refugee camp where chaos, dirtiness and dilapidation is the norm.

OK first d hostels ain't DAT bad, second d dirtiness should be attributed to d students and last most areas of dilapidations have been fixed

Pavore9:
Finance is a key issue. Let us assume that some Canadian universities are offering full scholarships open to undergraduate students of OAU irrespective of the course of study. How many percentage of the students will apply?

frankly I think about 40%

Ubiquity:
What About someone from UNN, I guess NO..

no but I have read quite a lot about it

Pavore9:
I have not been to OAU likewise many other Nigerian universities but students of various schools share online the realities of their learning environment.

I work and study outside Nigeria and clearly know what incorporates into effective learning.

OK I understand ur POV and I no longer wish to beat around d bush. when u say d hostels do u mean d interior or d he exterior

Pavore9:
It is not about going for international competitions, the question should be how do these students feel on after attending these competitions and have an opportunity to experience living in a quality accommodation in the host university?

Do you think those students if they get the opportunity to transfer to such schools they will insist on wanting to remain in OAU or even UNN?

No one feels comfortable with lower quality but how we for do am?

OK let's start on a new note.
have u been to the school before.
I agree some people would rather be on other unis bit if I may ask u what do u think makes den stay?

Like earlier said..
They are dwelling on past glory but you know what is said about a one eyed man in the land of the blind? He is king!
That’s the sorry state of the education sector. In the next 10yrs, the private varsities will reign supreme. Except something drastic is done, it’s on a downward spiral.

private unis I might agree if u talk about covenant, Babcock, but any other one is poppycock. wen I was in predegree d lecturer taking me lit oo1(drama and literary appreciation), she was lecturing in Bowen she said she gave them a test an she found a handful of them cheating, she said she told them DAT if they should try DAT in O.a.u they are bound to face expulsion. and u want to compare dem with federal unis . pathetic*spits on ground*

rampantlover:
This is what we call a University and not the market place you talking about.

which uni is DAT, almost looks like eksu

Pavore9:
And since when have where a student sleeps, reads and eat not have a direct impact on his academics? You think universities all over the world that provide a high quality accommodation for their students are joking?

OK Dis o.a.u students who go for international competitions dont they stay in Dis hostels too. your point doesn't hold any water

Pavore9:
Is it not the same University that has hostels that looks like pig styes as was shared on Nairaland some weeks back?

*since when have hostels determined standards if education u must be from unilorin or eksu*

safiaaBUTTHOLE:
That university (OAU) is shit_, and you know it

pls expantiate is it in d part where we have d most prolific professors or innovative students who ate proud of their efforts or what

have u met someone from oba awon university. I don't think so

romans 10 :13-15kjv) : for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved. how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall they preach...

mujahid777:
They keep preaching their gospel to fellow xtian.Why not go to Afghanistan.

ur post shows how myopic u are did u even search out facts for Dis even in Saudi Arabia we have missionary activities not to talk of Afghanistan

I wonder if he can try DAT with an american pitbull

Sapiosexuality:
If heaven is so lovely and good and the Christian is a true believer, and any cessation of his life takes him there, what sense then exists when he celebrates missing it? If this world is full of evil and owned by Satan or the devil, why should we rejoice when we miss an opportunity to leave this place? Is it that we do not really believe what we practise or that we don’t understand it well enough? Is it because we want to gain all that is on this earth before going to heaven? If that is so, wouldn’t that amount to the materialism this faith we profess is calling against? What exactly can be derived from our fear of death? Is it that natural aspect of the being that cannot be overshadowed even by the most powerful knowledge and entity in our world?

This is my verdict. We have left that lane that espouses on what it really means to be christian. We have focused more on the material aspect of human existence instead of the immaterial portion where we can kiss the finger of God and immortality. Actions come from understanding and this is not any different. The fear of death in us have gone as far as inhibiting us, giving us a false sense of christian reality that is antichristian. Where you are going to is better than where you are. You shouldn’t be given testimonies to celebrate your loss. That sounds crazy right? But let’s think about it. If you are looking at rising to a higher paying job with all the benefits of a king, would you call for celebration when an appointment that ought to take you there is called off? Would you be considered sane if you do?

Some persons may want to argue that the fear of death is not a fear of death itself but the fear of leaving their friends and families behind. While this could be argued well for a nonbeliever in Christ, it shouldn’t leave the mouth of a Christian. Once anyone becomes a Christian, he is expected to leave his ‘family, his friends’, etc., like Jesus Christ commanded. This defence falls flat in the face of that. Don’t confuse this with the call for Suicidal thoughts. No, it is not. Don’t confuse this with the idea of a selfish human existence. No, it is not. Simply understand this as a call for Christians to destroy that fear of death. Today’s Christians are too scared to be Christlike. They are too afraid of death that they live their lives in fear. They believe in a sweet afterlife but consider the idea of going their worrisome.

Obviously this won’t go down well with a lot of people. Maybe I stretched the message too much but I think it would be easy to see the fear of death, the central core of the message, for what it truly is to the Christian–irrational. The crux of my point so far is that the fear of death shouldn’t be in company of a Christian. From the perspective of Christianity, death shouldn’t be feared. It is not something that must be dreaded as though it alone can destroy the man or mind. It is not something that should be given any attention before truth leaves the lips of the Christian. It is given too much attention in today’s Christianity and it has contributed to the materialization and ruination of the believer. Like the English John Donne wrote in Death Be Not Proud, at the end, death too shall die.

I guess u haven't met a true Christian, true christians are not afraid of death, in fact we actually see it as a/an honour to die especially during service to God, or why do u think missionaries leave their comfort zone to go to troubled areas or areas where there is no active propagation of the gospel risking their lives "carrying their cross" just to ensure people get saved, have u ever heard of the Moravians these are people who even sold themselves out as slaves just to preach the gospel(google them for more info), don't u remember d story of Steven who stood fearless in d face of death acts8
