Very wealthy is all i can say. But the wealth isn't evenly distributed. The majority of wealth circulating in churches is in specific denominations and locations.

Also the heavy weights like rccg, winners and christ embassy are very wealthy in comparison to others because they receive remittances from worshippers in foreign countries - that's why the Nigerian economy never impacts them negatively. As they receive naira from here they receive dollar, cedi, pounds from other countries.

What makes this news

The construction of the $50 million (N18bn) Transportation University to be located in Daura, Katsina State will start by next year, the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said.

The university is to be built by China Civil and Construction Company (CCECC) and is part of the Federal Government’s efforts to develop qualified manpower that will manage the many railways facilities across the country and other transportation facilities, Amaechi added.

The minister told journalists in Abuja recently that in addition to Katsina, another Transportation University might be built in Rivers State to meet the growing demand of manpower in the transportation sector.

He said the contract has already been awarded to CCECC and the construction would have commenced if the governor of Katsina State had provided land for it, adding that once the state government provided the land, CCECC will mobilize to site and fence the land for construction to start.

He said the young Nigerians being trained on scholarship in China on Railway Engineering upon completion of their studies would be deployed to teach in those universities for a period of time before they are allowed to do other endeavours.

“If we get the land, the fencing will start this year. The CCECC has written to ask for land from the state government,” he said.

What you are seeing hear stems from the political side of thongs. Buhari focus has been to bridge the huge hap between north and south.
This explains why after the establishment of so many institutions by last admin, Buhari is trying to just build more schools to fuflil federal character.

The Nigerian fed govt by level of funding isn't qualified to have more than six universities. The idea of universities have been thoroughly abused in this clime. This is why i would continue to recommend the involvement of the private sector as our only way out of the shabble education we are being fed by universities who are so engrossed in their own problems to even begin looking for solution to society's problem.

As it is Nigeria has only one university in top 1000 while Pakistan has 10! Let that sink in

They keep creating public universities while education budget remains slim. These new universities are going to further shrink the existing budget for federal institutions (most likely) and also shrink Tetfund allocations(most definitely).

At this stage the Nigerian govt should leave creation of new varsities or polytechnics to private individuals and religious organizations.

The House of Representatives Committee on Tertiary Education and Services is considering bills for the establishment of nine new tertiary institutions across the country, just as the lawmakers move to amend the Acts establishing six existing ones.

Chairman of the Committee, Suleiman Aminu (APC, Kano), who disclosed this on Wednesday at a public hearing in Abuja, listed the proposed tertiary institutions as Federal Polytechnic, Dukku (Gombe); Federal Polytechnic, Shendam (Plateau); Federal Polytechnic, Abriba (Abia); Federal University, Birnin-Kebbi (Kebbi).
Others include Federal University of Agriculture, Jalingo (Taraba); Federal College of Education, Akwette (Abia); Federal University of Technology, Kaduna (Kaduna); Federal College of Education, Monguno (Borno); and National Institute for Education Planning and Administration (Nigeria).

More so, the universities whose Acts are billed for amendment include Usman Dan Fodiyo University, Sokoto; University of Lagos, Akoka; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; University of Maiduguri; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; and National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).
“We deemed it expedient to subject these bills to public scrutiny and elicit inputs from the general public. You will agree with me that easy access to quality tertiary education is not only desirable but also inevitable.”

“However, the tertiary institutions in the country cannot adequately accommodate the quests for admissions by Nigerians, which calls for more to address the protracted problem,” the Chairman said.
In his submission, President of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU), represented by Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, expressed concern over the state of tertiary education in the country, especially the grossly inadequate funding, which calls for drastic action.

“My heart is heavy that we want to establish new universities when nothing is being done about the existing ones. The Federal Government is considering the imposition of tuition fees when most Nigerians cannot afford three meals a day, and you are talking of new universities,” the ASUU boss queried.
But Uzoma Nkem-Abonta (PDP, Abia) countered ASUU, insisting that federal character demands that all states should be entitled to a federal polytechnic and shutting some states out of it would amount to abuse of equity.

He said, “Federal character entitles every state to a polytechnic. Let us establish them first, after which the issue of funding would be addressed.”
Nkem-Abonta’s position was also shared by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TET-Fund) and the National Board for Technical Education (NABTEB), whose officials lauded the move for new tertiary institutions.

“NABTEB is fully in support and even canvass that every state in Nigeria should have a federal polytechnic to enhance technical education, industrial dev and employment generation,” a NABTEB official said.
On the outcome of the public hearing, Chairman Suleiman promised that the Committee would be thorough, fair and objective.
“A number of factors will guide our action. But we promise to be thorough, fair and objective; above all, necessity and the co-operation of host states, would be the deciding factors.”

You are still talking about CAPS when many private universities have concluded admissions and are now talking about matriculation. The earlier we decentralise this admission thing the better.

Benekruku:
Is CU a university.

We talking about universities here.

Seeking God's face for admission again? Are you kidding .

Sigh

EYN Church Begins Rebuilding Of Roads Destroyed By Boko Haram In Mubi

By Hussaini Hammangabdo.

The Pastor in charge of Gi’ima, Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN), Rev. Nasara Albert, has began the reconstruction of roads damaged by Boko Haram attack in Mubi town of Adamawa state. Rev. Albert who led members of the church, at the Flag off exercise at Secretariat Road, Arhan-kuno expressed concern over the deplorable roads, saying the project is aimed at providing human and vehicular access to different places.

According to him, the church initiated the reconstruction work, to cushion the effects of insurgency attacks and strengthen peaceful co-existence among the diverse residents. ” The church observed that, residents of this area had to divert to other routes, especially those using cars due to the deplorable nature of the roads.

"We decided to repairs the road as part of community service, (which) is one of the fundamental ethic of EYN church and to complement government efforts”.

“Many churches and mosques were destroyed by insurgency. Government should intervene in rebuilding them to promote religious tolerance. Governor Bindow should come our aid by rebuilding worship centres in the insurgency affected towns and villages."

Alhaji Umar Sadiq, a resident of the area lauded the project and urged other religious organization to emulate the church. He noted that the road had suffered neglect since the inception of insurgency in 2014.

Yakubu Vandi who benefited from the gesture enjoined women and children to avoid indiscriminate dumping or refuse into drainages. It should be recalled that as reported by The Police, the area was recently affected by suicide bomb attack, where over 30 person killed and property destroyed.

hopefulLandlord:
I never mentioned atheists in any way sir. read my post again. I mentioned a specific God (Yahweh). I said there's absolutely NOBODY in the entire bible who believed Yahweh existed only based on faith first. the evidence he existed came first. Abram was serving another God but Yahweh spoke directly to him straight. nobody (third party) preached to him that Yahweh exists. evidence happened first (enough evidence to convince him) then belief/faith followed. why is it that these days preachers think Yahweh does not exist outside the realm of faith OR say one should Believe first before evidence would come? it seems to me a total reversal and runs contradictory of the Bible
Its almost as if the God Christians serve today is not the same God in the Bible

Two things you are conflicting here - evidence and logic. When i said you can't arrive at theism with sense. I mean you are most likely unable to postulate God or find theoretical proof for his existence.

The woman with the issue of blood, the centurion, thief at the right side of jesus are many out of millions who believed before seeing. In my case evidence came even before i accepted Jesus(probably because i was young) . I have gone on to have astounding testimonies of God's faithfulness and mercy. As i said i am not ready to have a prolonged argument about this because it's too exhausting. Belief what you may, it is your fundamental human right.

hopefulLandlord:
What do you have to say to differing doctrines? I'm not talking about those "some borne out of true understanding" why do doctrines differ despite all doctrines claiming to have been ministered by the same holy spirit? is holy spirit telling the truth to just one and lying to others?

I'm afraid the above is not biblical at all. the Yahweh of the bible existed based on good and undeniable evidence whether you now want to follow his institutions is where faith comes in. to disprove my assertion you're to give names of people in the bible who believed Yahweh existed only based on faith first

Interesting question. But i'm not really interested in arguing all night because i know you are essentially just looking for a way to box me into one corner. But i would reply your questions.

1) Not all doctrines emanate from the Holy spirit. Infact most doctrines are man made. I believe Christ isn't interested in controlling our lives like robots. He just wants a genuine relationship based on love.

2) That was the problem you see. God showing himself didn't make the Isrealites any better, Neither did that make them trust God. It didn't make Adam obedient either. So the absense of grand miracles isn't the problem.

Secondly, in the OT, God led a Nation. In the NT he leads individuals. The emphasis therefore isn't doing "national" miracles.

Your last question assumes folks in the bible were atheist needing conversion. 95% of people who lived in those times believed one god or the other. So it was simply a question of which god to follow and not requiring evidences to belief the supernatural exist.

Truth is Christianity seems weakest in the most peaceful places across the world. Places like South east and south south Nigeria are particularly at risk of lukewarm christianity.

This i believe is the issue,
Cycle 1

when Christianity enters a territory newly it is riled up completely. Its adherents summon the power core and fight for dominance, it displaces existing religions and becomes supreme. If oppressed you are simply adding fuel to fire because oppression makes christianity grow! Why? Its adherents are well scripturally prepared for persecution. This is why Christianity in Indonesia, the largest muslim country in the world as seen christianity grow by almost 100% in the last decade, while Palestine has the highest christian missionary/populace in the world.

Cycle 2
Christianity gains prominence and begins to evolve the society. At this stage it takes a political structure and begins to alter the way of life of the people. It overthrows cultural norms and installs her own.

Cycle 3
Christianity gains full dominance. At this point it has little or no opposition, it is easier becoming a pastor, priest at this stage as no sensible govt would dare confront the church or her clergy. It becomes lucrative for many to join as people are more receptive to hearing about jesus and the bible..

Cycle 4
Many join the pastorate - both called and uncalled and begin to cause confusion. Ministeries start creating different doctrines, some borne out of true understanding while others are based on inherent societal traditions, poor understanding etc. At this stage abuse also become rife, "pastors" starts sleeping with members, greed sets in. While some others genuinely continue the great commission.
Also, because of doctrinal differences, debates emerge as to whose church is correct.

Cycle 5
The debates do damage to Christians!
Due to the occurences of cycle 4 many realise that since the church can't get a united doctrine system then the church isn't infallible. Also, many who in one way or the other were traumatized by the abusers who seeped in at cycle 4 develop a firewall for anything christian. People then begin to question the relevance of Christianity itself and before you know it you have christians who identify with jesus but reject the church. Unfortunately, such Christians find it nearly impossible to impart jesus in their kids. The kids grow up knowing less about Jesus and find it easier to question the existence of God. Since God exist in the realm of faith and not of senses they wouldn't find God. They become atheist and mock Christianity tirelessly and endlessly.

Sometimes i think radically, and i think if all the pastors in Nigeria were jailed for being pastors. I strongly belief that in few days Nigeria would have less pastors because most of the false ones would have abandoned Christianity and ran away - especially those in Abuja, Port harcourt and Lagos. The true ones would remain and those are the ones we need. The pastorate as it is today is too easy to join and lucrative for insincere people and that is our fundamental problem in Christianity.

It looks to me that Churches in the south are sleeping when there is adversity. A pastor in the north can understand what is happening but as we travel down south, to Lagos and other places in the south, we see that the Church is sleeping.

Sleeping in adversity is irresponsibility confirmed and calamity established.

I can't find tge part where he indirectly praised jonathan.

No problem really, as long as those lecturers being sponsored by Tetfund are studying Literature or Arabic etc. It would be saddening if any lecturer is sent to study STEM courses in Sudan.

Then secondly my question to baffa goes thus, you are the one who criticized private universities here in Nigeria for not being cheap, yet you release 9 million naira to folks to go study arabic/literature in sudan. What is the use of ABU, Bayero, Unimaid and Al-Qalam university?

Tetfund policy explicitly states that Nigerian lecturers can only be sponsored in top 1000 universities in the world(Times Ranking) but here you are sponsoring lecturers in sudan which has no university in top 1000 by Times standard and top 2000 by webometrics standard. The best university in Sudan - Uni Of Khartoum can only rank 5th in Nigeria, so why are we setting up kangaroo policies and enrishing sudan unnecessarily...

By Chidimma C. Okeke, who was in Sudan | Publish Date: Sep 2 2018 2:00AM


Last month, an inspection team from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) embarked on a four-day visit to Nigerian lecturers who are on postgraduate studies in Sudan. Despite few challenges, the scholars are relishing their experiences. Daily Trust on Sunday reports.




Adamu Aliyu Muhammed obtained his first and second degrees from Nigerian universities. Though an academic staff of the Taraba State University, he had never imagined he would someday study abroad due to its cost implication.

However, with the intervention of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, he will soon complete his doctorate degree in Literature from the International University of Africa, Sudan, soon.
“I never thought of an opportunity to even catch a plane, let alone leave this country to study abroad, but thanks to TETFUND; we came out and we studied,” the elated Muhammed said.
He is among 2, 000 scholars from several tertiary institutions in Nigeria, sponsored by TETFUND through its Academic Staff Training and Development Programmes. The scholars are in various countries around the world.
The academic training programme started in 2008 after the National Universities commission (NUC) formulated a policy that PhD would be the minimum teaching requirement in Nigerian universities.


During a monitoring and inspection exercise by the TETFUND officials to Sudan, the Director, Research and Development, Malam Aliyu Na’Iya, said there were less than 15 per cent of PhD holders in all Nigerian universities when the policy was made.
He said TETFUND decided to open up and sponsor scholars to acquire their PhDs and meet the requirements, as part of efforts to ensure that Nigeria’s tertiary institutions compete favourably with other world class institutions.
He said 95 scholars secured TETFUND scholarship to study in Sudan, while 63 have completed their programmes, 31 are still undergoing their studies, but one person died among them.

Addressing the scholars studying at the International University of Africa, Sudan, Na’Iya said the annual exercise would ensure that the scholars are in tune with what the fund is doing and ensure that they are actually studying. He said TETFUND was reforming the programme due to the failure of some benefiting institutions to comply with laid down rules. He added that the fund would no longer allow scholars benefitting under its scholarship programme to attend any lowly ranked university in the world.

“Only universities that meet the World University Ranking of the Times Higher Education and are top on the league table of universities in a particular country would be approved for the purpose of TETFUND scholarship,” he said. This, he added, would ensure that TETFUND scholars are trained in the best universities in the world.
He explained that the University of Ibadan was the only highly ranked Nigerian university in 2017 by Times Higher Education, so academicians may wish to go there instead of going to institutions that are not ranked or those ranked below standard.
Another scholar, Tijani Usman, commended the move by the agency to reform the scholarship programme.

“We are strongly impressed with the efforts of TETFUND in supplementing the efforts in our institutions. I appreciate the issue of ranking. To be sincere, most universities here are not even better than the Nigerian universities, so it is a commendable effort,” said the PhD student from the Taraba State College of Education.
However, the scholars said their choice of Sudan was informed by the treatment of doctorate students in Nigeria.
Speaking on what informed his choice of Sudan, Muhammed further said: “I was motivated to come outside by the bad experience I had when I was doing my master’s degree. A Nigerian professor is like a demigod; he wants to be worshipped literally and I promised myself never to study in Nigeria again.

“I don’t know whether our professors are really teaching or they want to show us their level of divinity when it comes to relationship with people.”
He said that when he got the opportunity, he took it because of the simplicity and friendliness and hospitality of the people, and luckily, TETFUND approved and paid.

Usman, however, admitted that most schools in the country are not better than Nigerian universities and blamed the system for frustrating postgraduate students in Nigeria.
“We were forced to come out because of frustrations in Nigeria. Something has to be done to our system, particularly the PhD and master’s. In fact, there is a need for complete paradigm shift from the way they operate,” he said.
Usman said that in universities outside Nigeria, the moment you come in, you know when to graduate.


“This is the most important thing, but in Nigeria it is not applicable. Most Nigerian universities spend longer years for master’s and PhD, which is terrible,” he said.
The scholars, however, agreed that they were part of the problem since most of them are lecturers in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
“The problem of the Nigerian university system is us, the academics. We are the problem. There is the need for us to change. The problem is excessive quest for personal aggrandizement,” Mohammed said.


He said there was the need to be very rigid in implementing laws, saying that until the Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission (NUC), in collaboration with TETFUND, make it a policy and stand by it, nothing would change.
Another scholar from the Federal College of Education, Gombe, Abdulganiyu Jimoh, acknowledged the fact that the Sudanese are hospitable, saying it is a very important virtue.
“Professors who are your supervisors look for you; they visit you. It happens only in Sudan, not Nigeria,” he said.


Jimoh said: “When you look at the student-to-teacher ratio, there are many professors. Also, when you are qualified, you get admission; it’s not like ours where, out of 100, only 10 would get admission. We have the potentials in Nigeria, only that we are not using them.”
Mohammed said he left Sudan, not only with his certificates, but also with a renewed mind on how best to relate with his students and ensure maximum productivity.

“Immediately I went back, I was supervising my students the way my professor treated me. I invited them to my house and served them drinks. They were very surprised, wondering what was happening. I said that’s the advantage of studying abroad,” he said.
He said his relationship with students was very cordial, adding that in Sudan, there was no gap at all as students could speak to their professors anytime, even at the market.

“The moment you come to his office he gives you a cup of tea and you relax. That relationship is lacking in Nigeria,” said Mohammed.
“If we can borrow from what they are doing here, I am suggesting if TETFUND can give incentives to every professor in Nigeria, if they are able to graduate a particular number of students, it may encourage them to fasten their belts,” Usman said.

However, there are pockets of hurdles faced by the scholars in Sudan.
For Mohammed, it is more about exchange rate, accommodation, food, transportation and expensive lifestyle. He said exchange was challenging because he could not use his ATM card to transact business, as such, he had to change from local currency to dollars.

According to him, life is very expensive in Sudan because the country is in economic recession.
Another scholar, Fatima Muhammed Shehu, from the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, studying Arabic Language in Al-Jazeera University, Sudan, said it was hectic because she got admission in 2015 but wasn’t released from her place of work until September 2016.

“When I applied for visa, I was told that admission letter had expired and I had to renew the admission. In that process, I faced different problems, which desperately made me change university because I couldn’t renew my admission,” she said.
She, however, said she didn’t have any problem with acquiring the fund. “I was told it was N9 million, which was what I was given.”

This is why Nigeria isn't progressing.... An individual who ought to be in Camp suddenly has an unusual approval to travel to the US. Very soon the drunken mumus on NL will tell you Religion is Nigeria's problem.

Meanwhile, at Winners Chapel!

Technology Hub: Winners Chapel would be building her first Technology hub very soon. Although as usual it would be routed via her flagship university - CU. It would be housed in a twin mega structure with a bridge linking it. With over 2,000 systems.

Already, the Hebron startup lab which is an integral part of CUCRID - which is partly funded by David Oyedepo Foun. Initial 1 billion naira grant has nurtured about 43 start up businesses.

CUCRID on its core mission now has over 23 research clusters with massive year to year funding from both David Oyedepo foun and the school herself. The center now serves as the place with the highest activity in Multidisciplinary research with over 162 research publications(SCOPUS) and 20% of all Nigeria's multidisciplinary research as attested by Times Higher. It is also probably the largest indigenous private funder of research in Nigeria.

There is also plans for an agro - research institute at Landmark university later in the coming months. The church is also supporting LMU in her quest of putting the first Sattelite in space right here from inside Nigeria via a partnership with Kyushu Inst of Tech, Japan and NASDRA.

The Church is also providing 15,000 housing unit which would be transforming for Ota and would be a significant church led attempt in reducing the housing deficit of 17 million unit. I

So you see Churches are doing fairly great on the development side of things. Most of them just have PR issues.

ON THE “BUILD INDUSTRIES, NOT CHURCHES" SCHOOL OF THOUGHT:

“… There are some people who say 'Why are they still building Big Churches? Why don’t they build industries?' Those are satanic voices speaking.
Number One, we have to build big churches to have big accommodation for big harvest. What you present to God is what He fills. And Number two, The Church is one of the largest employers of labour. My father’s Ministry (Winners Chapel) has over 26,000 people on their Payroll. I’m not talking of just Pastors and Assistant Pastors. I’m talking of University Professors, lecturers, technicians and all these people. How many State Governments in this country have 26,000 workers on their payroll that they pay every month?

In this Church, we pay salaries before the end of every month. You cannot make anybody’s salary cross to the next day. The accountant that dares it has lost his job. We pay Millions daily on the site (The Lord’s Garden). Technicians, Electricians, builders, Resident Civil Engineers, Horticulturists, etc. By the time the hospitals join and the Universities join, it multiplies the work force. And some satanic agents say “What is the church doing?..."

A simple weekend pool party turned to tragedy when one of the young men attending the birthday celebration ejaculated in the pool without warning the house guests, accidentally ending up impregnating half of the girls present at the celebration.

“I’m glad I didn’t have my swimsuit that day,” remembers Daliah Jennings, present during the celebration.
“It was a surprise party to celebrate my 15th birthday, let’s just say that a baby in my womb is the kind of present I’m glad I didn’t get” she acknowledges, visibly relieved of not getting pregnant.

Tommy Coulter has admitted to ejaculating in the pool, thus accidentally impregnating 16 of the young women present
“Nothing like an orgy”
The young man claims there was no sex at the party at all and that he only ejaculated in the pool by accident.

“Some people in town say we had some kind of wild sex orgy going on and that’s how I got all those girls pregnant, but I’m proud to say that I am still a virgin and that if anyone doesn’t believe me, I’m ready to undergo medical examination to prove it if that’s what it takes,” says the 15 year old. “I’ve become some sort of a local celebrity.
“People come up to me all the time and shake my hand and congratulate me, but I didn’t do anything!” he adds, visibly sincere.
“Highly” potent sperm
Dr. John Suzukima of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Hospital, who was the first to link the multiple births to a single cause, believes the young man has a rare medical condition called spermafortis which makes his semen unusually potent.

Dr. John Suzukima of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Hospital believes Tommy Coulter has unusually potent semen
“Clinical tests have proven that people who suffer from spermafortis have sperm counts close to a thousand times more potent and rich in spermatozoids than the average man,” he explains. “This kind of semen is fairly similar to that of common water mammals, such as dolphins, manatees and seals and has properties that make it incredibly resistant to water. This condition could definitely explain what happened in this case but clinical trials and further tests would be needed to prove this theory,” he told local reporters.

Most of the 16 girls are scheduled to undergo an abortion although two of the impregnated girls’ families have reportedly admitted that they have decided to bring the birth to term being devout Christians.

DidierDrogba:
how many imam are paying tax?

Help me ask the fool.

jaytee01:
In such a case, we will support the government to crack down heavily on tax evading pastors and jail them if convicted.

That is tax avoidance not tax evasion. Tax avoidance is not a crime!

It is a senseless move and it would not work out. This is a malicious policy been introduced because one president thinks some churches aren't aligning to his own definition of what churches should be. Members are already taxed of thrir earnings hence should not be subject to double taxation whether prosperity preaching or not.


The USA has prosperity preaching ministeries and does not subject them to taxation. But it's African nations who can't account for what they have that want to demand accountability from the church. How laughable...

In preparation for this all pentecostal churches should open off shore account in Cayman Island, USA and Switzerland and encourage their members to route payments directly there.
