THE POST BELOW HAS BEEN CIRCULATING ON WHATSAPP FOR A WHILE NOW AND I SAW IT AGAIN THIS MORNING BUT NOT TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT THIS TIME AROUND. KINDLY READ THE POST AND DROP YOUR COMMENT. MY RESPONSE IS ALSO ADDED AS A COMMENT ON THIS THREAD.
Who is actually robbing God?
BOWEN UNIVERSITY N650,000 per semester
COVENANT UNIVERSITY N640,000 per semester
BENSON IDAHOSA N500,000 per semester
BABCOCK UNIVERSITY N450,000 per semester
REDEEMERS UNIVERSITY N450,000 per semester
AJAYI CROWTHER UNIVERSITY N350,000 per semester
MADONNA UNIVERSITY N350,000 per semester.
All these UNIVERSITIES were built from TITHES and
OFFERINGS of the common people who now can't afford
to send their children to these schools today.
Where is the morals and responsibilities of the
churches as charity in Nigeria?
What is the difference between church and political leadership in Nigeria?
These schools were all built with the sweats of their church members who kept sowing seeds like:
-special offering seeds
-first fruit seed,
-redemption seed,
-thanksgiving seed,
-harvest seed,
-tithes,
-pastor's seed,
-church building seed,
-evangelism seed,
-father's day seed,
-mother's day seed,
-children' day seed,
-Pastor's cake seed,
-olive oil seed....etc.
These schools are now elite schools, only for the rich politician children.
The gainers then use the profits to buy private planes & jets to fly up high in luxury, ride Exotic Cars and live in expensive Mansions, while their members, (who are mostly the least of Jesus people) sleep hungry.
The next Sunday, they will read Malachi 3:6-12 to these members again without making reference to Deuteronomy 14:22-29 about their own responsibility to these poor members in their churches.
If you think this is unfair, like me, please pass on this message because this is reality and we also need the CHANGE here!!!
Thank God for early missionaries who built schools and gave basic
education FREE or NEAR FREE to many of us including the CURRENT LEADERSHIP of these churches and universities.


Please leave these Universities alone.
If you take away subvention from government universities and free education from Federal Universities, your tuition fees cannot be less than
# 200k .
Ask Fashola what he saw when he increased LASU fees to #250,000 per session (a government university for that matter - built with taxpayers' money).
Ask Oshiomhole why he increased AAU's school fees to over #120,000.
These men/ministries built these schools with hard-earned money - they could have gone to build it abroad (where they would charge higher rates - more than triple of what we're currently paying in Nigeria), they could have built banks (maybe you would have asked them to start sharing money FOC to church members). A Federal Government professor earns #500,000 basic salary and I'm sure if he works in a private university he will earn almost double of that (monthly). Multiply by 12 to get his annual income. Then multiply this annual income by the number of professors in these schools. Add that of Associate Professors, Readers, PHD Holders (Senior Lecturers), Lecturer I, II, Assistant Lecturers, Graduate Assistant Lecturers...
Then add the Non-Academic Staff which are usually more than double of the academic staff across the School...
Add the tax they pay to government, the (first class) Health care facilities, the feeding of all students 3 square meals 7 days a week each session, constant power supply (Diesel Plant or EDC), comfortable accommodation on campus for all students - (all of which are not obtainable in public universities that charge about half of these private universities' fees)...
...you'll eventually discover that these christian-founded private schools are charging what I can term as reasonable fees within their operating capacities which is far higher and more efficient than that of govt-owned Universities.
Moreso, these schools were not built for charity as they have no donations from outside/foreign sources. They operate strictly with IGR and loans and they pay taxes too.
I think it's time we put our criticisms into perspective and stop the crucifixion of persons and institutions who mean well for Nigerians (especially the youths).
Instead look into the lives of politicians that you voted in as custodians of our common-wealth (taxes, duties and other national income) and ask yourself how many personal/national investment of these persons are you currently benefiting from? Obasanjo, Buhari, Atiku, Yar'Adua, Jonathan, Sambo, Osinbajo and your past and present state governors, senators and representatives... These are the ones who owe you accountability. These are the ones you should call to question.
As we speak, Covenant University ranks among the top ten Universities in Nigeria - higher than universities that have been since over 40 years ago.
That you cannot afford it doesn't make the fees unfair or undue. It is akin to one saying the price of gold is unfair just because the common man can't afford it.
This writer, seeing he has no point to justify his/her irrational accusations, ended up appealing to Missionary schools, revival and religion in order to confuse readers and make his point. But the truth is, we are not all as gullible. You can't deceive everyone at the same time. There are some of us who can still separate issues and address them objectively differently.
In those times (referred to) when Missionary schools were built in Nigeria and other West African countries, Europe and North America was vastly developed as against the underdevelopmen
t that was obtainable in Africa those days. Those secondary and primary schools were funded by colonial Masters with profit from their business activities of exploiting our resources. Their schools back in England, Portugal, USA were charging high fees just as is currently obtainable in most foreign schools. The truth is - we may not be classified as 'Developed' in the full definition of the word, but Nigeria can no longer be termed 'underdeveloped', no, we've gone past that stage. As you can see, how many of the so-called Missionary schools do you have left? Govt has taken over (almost) all. In fact, Nigeria is now the one sending Missionaries to these countries in the wake of the moral crises, relativism, liberalism and atheism that has greeted the so-called. We just can't afford to be negligent of these matters.
Instead of criticising, ask God to provide for you so you too can get the best education for you and your family and even build universities too for others to attend and get quality education.

Solomon Dalung is not a divisive public figure by any stretch of the imagination. There is near- unanimity of opinion about his utility as Nigeria’s minister of sports. The kooky man with a fetish for red beret and khaki is the mascot of President Buhari’s administration. He is the poster child of the shambolic game of ineptness that patriotism urges us to hyperbolize as a 'government'. Dalung has a flair for sabotaging Nigeria in sports competitions and a penchant for spouting senseless excuses to explain away the scandals he orchestrated. His attempts at composure, for some reason, accentuate the extremism of the clown in him. He performs for the trivialization of sports and the sports of trivialization. Two weeks ago, the Super Falcons successfully defended their Africa Women Cup of Nations title . They won against all odds. They had to first defeat Dalung, the anti-sports minister of sports, before they could overcome their rivals in the field of play. The Super Falcons trained for the tournament amid demotivating deprivation. Dalung and his ministry did not pay the girls allowance during their camping. Yet, these girls travelled to Yaoundé, played in Nigerian jerseys, and prevailed. This year’s win was a continuation of a fine tradition. Nigeria has dominated the biennial competition since its inception in 1991, clinching the gold trophy in eight of the ten editions. But their victory shook Dalung to grief. He had expected the girls to return home empty- handed. And, because girls defied his cynical wish and came back with the ultimate prize, he inoculated himself against their joy. Neither would he will himself into the mood to facilitate the payment of bonuses of the players. He became a killjoy, choosing to create a kerfuffle in which the girls had to condescend to begging for their wages, even making a hostage of the trophy in a bid to dramatize their displeasure at the shabby treatment meted out to them by Dalung and his ministry. The incredible sight of a victorious national football team, gold-trophy-in-hand, protesting the denial of their due rewards magnetized the cameras of the global media. But rather than apologize for the humiliation of the girls, an embarrassment with a whiff of misogyny, and scramble to pay the debt, Dalung stepped forward to admonish the Super Falcons for rejecting the defeatist dream he had projected onto them. Why did they fail to lose as he had fantasized? Why did they deny him an implausible reason to owe them? Why did they bother to win? On Wednesday, December 14, 2016, the Super Falcons protested at the National Assembly. It was a shameful spectacle. The girls were fighting for their payment after they had fought to win the cup. And this, on a day President Buhari was presenting the 2017 budget to the joint session of the National Assembly! The protest of the girls at the National Assembly was a gesture of frustration. They had been demonstrating on the streets of Abuja since their return from Yaoundé. Dalung ignored them. They had to draw the attention of President Buhari to the mess. Meanwhile, Cameroon celebrated their girls differently. The country treated the Indomitable Lionesses with chivalry. President Paul Biya hosted the silver medalists to a grand reception in the state house and lavished them with honor, praise and gifts. Following the Super Falcons’ protest at the National Assembly, Buhari reportedly ‘ordered’ the ministry of sports to pay the girls. The girls have been paid but shortchanged . Which leaves the matter unresolved. The girls shouldn’t have had to fight harder for their wages than they did to win the cup. And they shouldn’t have been paid less than the wages owed them. Really, if President Buhari was capable of outrage or embarrassment, he would have made casualties of those complicit in the ordeal of the girls. He would have rid himself and Nigeria of Dalung. Dalung has demonstrated time and again that he is not only ineffectual on the job but that he is also aggressively toxic to Nigerian sports. And the latter is twice as strong a reason to dismiss Dalung as the former. Dalung and his ministry made a disaster out of Nigeria’s outing at the Rio 2016 Olympics. They left Nigeria’s Dream Team s tranded in Atlanta, USA . They failed to arrange a plane to fly the football team to Manus, Brazil. The boys would have missed their first fixture and earned a walkover save for a deux ex machina. A foreign airline intervened and flied the Nigerian team to Brazil just in time for the players to catch a breath before the beginning of the match. Dalung and his ministry primed the Super Eagles for defeat. Still, the boys looked inside themselves and found the strength to negotiate with victory. They strived and snatched a Bronze! During the opening ceremony of the games, Nigerian athletes were conspicuously odd- looking. In a pageantry of colour and style, beamed live to millions of people around the world, our sports ambassadors paraded in track suits. They marched like poor orphans under the Nigerian flag. The kits they were supposed to wear on day one arrived three days to the end of the competition! Dalung’s appointment as minister of sports highlights Buhari’s betrayal of his avowed commitment to lead Nigeria by a new paradigm. The most basic expectation Nigerians had for this government of ‘’change’’ was a cabinet peopled by Nigeria’s brightest talents. Nigerians looked forward to an ensemble of smart picks. The most competent people in the most fitting positions. Buhari raised expectations higher by delaying nomination for cabinet positions for half a year. He said he needed that much length of time to identify and vet the most qualified Nigerians to serve in his administration. It was an absurd statement from a former head of state who has been a presidential candidate for four times. But people gave him a benefit of the doubt, believing that the wait would be worth it. It turned out that Buhari took eternity to compose an essentially underwhelming list. He nominated people of little accomplishment and scant promise. People you were certain that, going by their uneventful track record, were incapable of effecting positive disruptions. Worse, he dispersed them blindly, without regard to niche fittingness. Dalung was one of those ministers Buhari mismatched with an important cabinet position. Dalung has zero experience in sports administration. He has never had the most casual flirtation with any known sport prior to his nomination. Buhari miscast lawyer Dalung, in the far-fetched assumption that the skill set of a lawyer will do Nigerian sports a world of good. Dalung has made a point of proving to all and sundry that he is the most unsuitable person ever to manage Nigerian sports. Yet Buhari continues to let Dalung cast in bold relief the poverty of the president’s sense of choice. Buhari continues to permit Dalung define down ineptitude. Buhari continues to let his administration look more like an exercise in the cultivation of mediocrity. A good number of members of Buhari’s cabinet do no more than occupy space at the Wednesday meeting of the Federal Executive Council. Daily Trust profiled 11 of those do- nothing, forgettable Buhari ministers . They have achieved nothing of note one full year after they were hired. Dalung would have made that number a dozen but for his bad luck in being bestowed the highly visible sports portfolio. The very nature of sports makes the individual in charge of it a celebrity. And this is why Dalung seems to be the most incompetent minister in Buhari’s cabinet though there are at least 11 other credible contenders for the ‘award.’ Buhari once rationalized his cronyism. He said he didn’t bother to search far and wide for men. He settled for old friends. People who were unflinchingly loyal during his three failed quests for the presidency. In a country as rich in human talent as Nigeria, Buhari was spoiled for choice. Why he elected to gravitate towards average calibre is inexplicable. And the surprise is that he is at peace retaining them to the detriment of his increasingly diminishing presidency. He is content to accommodate the goofy Dalungs of this world in his cabinet when Nigeria boasts infinitely better brainpower at home and abroad. In general, Nigerian rulers tend to approach political appointments with levity. They regard the solemn responsibility of filling public service vacancies as a license to ‘empower’ their sidekicks. But Buhari has arguably outperformed his predecessors in the abuse of the presidential power to hire. His blind and arbitrary generosity with cabinet seats is one reason why the Nigeria he governs resembles King Solomon’s portrayal of a chaotic society. His Nigeria is a land where ‘’princes walk on foot and servants ride on horses.’’ Sports is serious business. It harnesses, employs and rewards human potential. And it has become as much an industry as a component of modern day foreign policy. It is now the fun, subtle way to conduct diplomacy by another means. All serious-minded countries shine their ideals and their sense of place in the world through their sports teams. These nations are intentional about how they run their sports systems. They know that the quality and results of every national sports team reflect on the image of the same country. They are always strategic, focused on making their individual teams a testifier to their respective claim to relevance in global affairs. There is no deliberateness or method to how Nigeria does sports or anything else. Everything is a matter of weather, whims and favor. The president may appoint any fawning drifter minister of this and that. And the ‘honorable minister’, if he is a Solomon without wisdom, may take the liberty of making the popularization of his curious dress sense the job description! Dalung deserves no place in national leadership. He is an unmitigated nuisance as minister of sports. His inability to handle the simplest tasks of his current post is a sure sign that he would be as much a failure if he was redeployed in a cabinet reshuffle. He and his incompetent likes must give way for Nigeria’s best. That’s how President Buhari can stop his ‘government’, this poor parody of governance, from deteriorating into an apocalyptic joke!

This corpers Lodge in ganjuwa local govt of Bauchi State is in a horrendous condition and a far cry from what it is supposed to be. The dilapidated state is as a result of its abandonment since the 2012 Bauchi crisis.

This Lodge was given as accommodation for corpers I. the area. This is not right at all. NYSC needs to do something about it.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the nation is imposing a three-month state of emergency in the aftermath of last week's bloody coup attempt. Erdogan met Wednesday with his national security council and council of ministers, the latter of which approved the state of emergency recommendation.
"The purpose of the declaration of the state of emergency is, in fact, to be able to take the most efficient steps in order to remove this threat as soon as possible, which is a threat to democracy, to the rule of law and to the rights and freedoms of the citizens in our country," Erdogan said, according to a government translation.
Erdogan, speaking to a national television audience, said the state of emergency was not a threat to democracy. Governors will have expanded powers and the army will be under the command and control of the governors, the President said.

theEYe21:
Op who protest epp? All what you suggest will not work, it's a waste of time. All we need to do is to work hard and improve on ourselves, in that way we are improving the country. We should focus on ourselves more.

Well, that's a good one. What I want is actually providing solutions rather than wailing unnecessarily

For the past few months, I have noticed the rather harsh, contumelious and derogatory words being hurled at the president of this country for the economic woes and hardships we are facing, to the extent that a stone was preferred to voting Buhari if an election should take place. No doubt, this administration has punctured the hopes and optimisms Nigerians had when they voted for change in the 2015 elections by the unfulfilled promises and the incompetence they have brazenly displayed in handling the affairs of this nation thus justifying the abuses and insults being hurled at the president.

Truth must be told, throwing insults and calling the president all sorts of unprintable names does not help in ameliorating the situation on ground. Am very sure PMB is totally oblivious of the anger and frustrations of Nigerians little wonder he had the audacity to boast that he would be massively voted for if an election should take place.

The country is currently in a deep economic mess. More calamity awaits if issues are not handled with care. It's time we become part of the solution rather than wailing fruitlessly. Let's stand up and exercise our democratic rights just like the Turkish citizens did to save their country from a military coup. We have been taken for a ride for too long. Let's use this media platform to bring about the real change Nigerians deserve. Imagine if we could simultaneously embark on a peaceful protest in all the states of the federation against the poor governance and incompetence being displayed by the govt. Workers are being owed salaries, the cost of living is getting higher etc. We need to use the social media to our advantage and take the bull by the horns so that we won't regret later.

“How much did Jim Nwobodo stole (sic)? Money not up to the price of a Peugeot and Buhari regime send him to jail. Is that good enough?”— Enugu, 9 January, 2015
“If somebody tells you that the best way to fight corruption is to arrest your uncle or father and show him on television, well, you won’t stop corruption, you will even encourage corruption.”– Lagos, 8 January 2015
“Since we came on board, have you suffered? Do you need to bribe someone before you get fuel?”— Lagos, 8 January 2015
These, ladies and gentlemen, are words from the first two days of the president’s time on the campaign trail. If you are confused by the absurdity of the statements, you are not alone. As an incumbent president, this should have been a triumphant victory lap; he should have been a man basking in the glory of his well-laid out plans for Nigeria coming to fruition. He should be a man fighting an easy battle—he has had one term and a bonus two years to make things happen.
Instead, bewildered Nigerians have watched an overly-agitated and confused individual who cannot keep his facts straight make dismissive statements about corruption and resort to quoting one of Nigeria’s most brutal military dictators in an ill-conceived and frankly laughable attempt to smear his presidential opponent. It is obvious that his campaign and inner circle are running scared when they resort to quoting Ibrahim Babaginda to make a bad point. It all comes off as sadly desperate and divorced from the realities Nigerians are still facing, and we as a nation are taking note as both campaigns progress.
Here is a man so out of touch with reality that he had the temerity to ask, “How much did Jim Nwobodo stole (sic)?” He also asserted with every seriousness that arresting people “won’t stop corruption, you will even encourage corruption.” The logical fallacy here is astounding; like saying jailing murderers will encourage murder. He goes on to ask ridiculous questions on armament purchases in the past, then makes a very strange comment about Buhari remembering his phone number. To top it all off, he had the temerity to ask about fuel shortages in the country? Where does this man live? Certainly not in Nigeria, because we could have told him that there were at two fuel shortages last year. Now that his shoes and modes of transportation are paid for by our taxes and sovereign wealth, I guess he has no need to keep up with what is actually going on with the people.
President Goodluck Jonathan seems incapable of leading a cohesive re-election bid, or hiring competent campaign managers. What Nigerians are witnessing is a shambolic mess that cannot get facts right, whether it was facts about arms purchases, or the parity of economies in the 1960s. They make incorrect statements instead, and focus on minutiae and erroneous, unsubstantiated untruths and character attacks on the opposition.
Fortunately the Nigerian public seems to have seen right through the ploy and have ignored the president’s stumbling speeches (filled with grammar that would be atrocious coming from a secondary school student, much less a lecturer), and are focused on hearing about the issues that they care about: corruption, power, education, jobs and welfare.
He has displayed an alarming persecution complex, a petulant woe-is-me attitude, and unfathomable paranoia about foreign agents being brought in to attack him on social media. It all sounds unhinged, fantastical and far from the calm and collected focus we expect from a sitting president of Africa’s most populous nation. In contrast, his opponent has remained focused on the issues, steadfastly refusing to engage in gutter politics and instead unrolling his vision and direction for the country in a concise, well-coordinated and effective campaign.
The juxtaposition of the two presidential candidates could not be starker, and it is especially telling that in social media, Jonathan is being met with scorn and derision—much to his consternation and their amusement.
It has been galling to watch the lack of focus on issues or the simple acknowledgment of the tragedy that have befallen our brothers and sisters in the town of Baga, Borno State. He has instead stuck his head in the sand like an ostrich and continued on furthering his political ambition. Mr President, silence will not make the tragedy fade from our national conscience. 2,000 men, women and children were cut down without mercy, the ‘deadliest massacre’ by Boko Haram in this country, and all we got was “[Muhammadu] Buhari cannot remember his phone number”? It shows a devastating lack of leadership and direction at a time that Nigeria can least afford to be without a commander-in-chief.

D problem most pple have with Christmas is with d date nd nt becos they couldn't find d word 'christmas' in d bible or where it was commanded. Afterall d word 'bible' is nt in d bible, and we celebrate easter even though its nt commanded, so dats nt d issue at all. Is it wrong to celebrate christmas? Is it idolatrous to sing 'Joy to d world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her king'? No. Its a thing of joy. The angels proclaimed d gud news to d shepherds. Even wisemen came from afar bringing gifts to pay him homage. So its perfectly right to celebrate christmas. GKS celebrate theirs in October, while others celebrate it in early January. D only issue pple have here is d date which shouldn't be a problem at all. D date might have used by pagans to worship dia gods. Bt d truth is dat good will always prevail over evil. Darkness is nt d opposite of light but rather d absence of light. When there is no light, darkness prevails. Christ is the Light. He is the conqueror. He conquered sin and death had no power over Him. The pagan sungod can NEVER overshadow d joy of Christmas. (Make we no give them level). So therefore, come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, come and behold Him, come let us adore Him for He is Christ the Lord, who was born to set us free!

Lets resolve dis issue once and 4 all. D truth is dat he goofed by purchasing d car for such amount. He is a pastor for crying out loud. A pastor shouldn't be competing with d world 4 material things. U might be in d world but u are nt of d world. Pastor Chris Delvan once said if pple knew what it takes to be a pastor, they would hate being a pastor. Its becos it involves sacrifice, u have to deny urself of d luxuries of dis world. Nobody is saying u have to be poor. No! All u nid is d necessary comfort that will aid u in d propagation of d gospel. Did he need d car? No. He recently bought a N33m rangerover in addition to d ones he already have in his garage. He needs to emphasize to his brethren that there are more important things in lyf. Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

Due to his owner's negligence, a dog became lost in the deepest jungles of Africa. Wandering around, the poor dog notices a leopard hading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
Just then, the dog noticed some bones laying on the ground close by. The dog immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching leopard. Just as the jungle cat is about to leap, the dog loudly says, "My, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the leopard slinks away. "That was too close," thought the leopard, "that dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a mischevious monkey had observed the entire scene, and decided to cause trouble for the dog, while getting on the good side of the leopard as well. The monkey dashed off after the leopard, to tell him what truly happened.
The dog saw the monkey dash off, and suspiciously tailed him from behind. He overhears the monkey spilling the beans, and quickly decides on a course of action, racing back to the pile of bones.
At the same time, the leopard has decided to take care of the dog once and for all. The monkey hops on the leopard's back, to watch the demise of the doomed dog. As the leopard approaches, he can hear the dog talking to himself: "Where's that lazy monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago for another leopard, and he's still not back!"

A first grade teacher was trying to stimulate creative thinking in her pupils. She stood in front of the class with her hands behind her back and said, "I'm holding something behind my back. It's round and it fits in the palm of my hand. Who can guess what it is?"
Billy's hand went up and he asked, "Is it a baseball?"
"No, Billy," replied the teacher, "It's not a baseball. But you're thinking, and I like that."
Suzy's hand went up and she asked, "Is it an orange?"
"No, Suzy," replied the teacher, "It's not an orange. But you're thinking, and I like that."
Then Johnny spoke up: "Hey, teacher, I don't know what you got in your hand, but I got something for you in my pocket. It's long and hard and pink on one end."
Shocked, the teacher cried, "Johnny, that's disgusting! You march yourself to the principals office right this instant!"
"Hey, relax," said Johnny. "I was talking about my pencil... But you're thinking, and I like that."

Una dy insult sha. Years of accumulated neglect and frustration by d govt don give una bad mouth. Wish some pple could still be positive despite d trying times.

When i went thru dis thread, i felt lyk weeping. Why are christians so divided? You call urself a Christian, yet u utter abominable words against ur fellow brethren. Can clean water and brackish come forth from d same source? The road to heaven is indeed narrow. By their fruits we shall know them. If only we could abide in love for love is indeed God is love.
