Westbestside:
Just listen to yourself and ask yourself if you make sense.

loswhite:
lol...oyibo ppl made sacrifice and paid for black ppl to be given free education...now black ppl cannot pay for black ppl to get less expensive education...smh

Inricash:
Ofcos someone needed to pay for it? and in this case the Church...

And that's why they were referred to as missionary schools...

No profit making schools if I must state that as well...


Now that you are done educating me, can you now tell me if your church school is a non profit making school?

sangresan:
Oyinbo paid for us?

You think Oyinbo people were so generous?

Now, educate us....Tell us how Oyinbo people in Europe paid for our education rather than the fact that our fathers pooled resources together to educate their communities.
Which resources did our forefathers pool together and how did they do it? Was it your grandfather's that paid for the hospitals, schools, orphanages, roads etc that the white men built? Stop lying o.

Wantedmiller:
pointless...... which cost are you talking about... if not pay the lectures, building, non academic staff and equip the school?

shamecurls:
Oh! So you can differentiate every northern tribe at sight?

And speaking a language identifies you with that tribe? You must be British then.

princfred:
The question is which ones are we paying for for others like oyibo did? If they are not paying for others why have they not paid for those of their fellow blacks? Why dont they build orphanages, school of the blind, deaf or dumb. So many mad men roaming the streets without mental care. Where are the humanitarian buildings? Red cross etc was by Christian leaders first. But lets buy jets and build universities in the midst of these much more pressing needs .........and blame whites.

izzou:
We are talking about Falz and his opinion. You should know Falz was talking our Nigerian pastors and not Harvard or Yale. I don't know why you keep bringing Harvard into this. Or you want to compare Harvard to mediocre universities like Madonna or Redeemers that still charge millions of naira for nothing?

And you guys feel it's not the church's responsibility to create jobs. I totally agree. But it's the church's responsibility to take almost a million from me a session, because they want to impact godly principles into me? Wonderful.

I wish I had time to reply your mentions. I want to hit the road soon. Falz is wrong because it's not his business, just as it isn't mine. But the springing up of universities everywhere by churches shows its not longer an issue of godly principles. It's about the money

Inricash:
You guys are typing out of ignorance...


Fahlz said the bitter truth without any sugar coating...


You mention cost of running a University as maybe a profit making venture not as a missionary..


Those missionaries that came to preach the gospel had several secondary school they ran for free, which one is your church running for free? And in your comparison to Government, ask yourself if the government is not also struggling to fund Secondary or even primary schools....


How do you even Justify fees in excess of a million or two in a bid to Justify the Church...

izzou:
[b]It may please you to know that I am a product of a private university(church owned) in this country

Saying that no church built it's university for profit making is a lie. It's either you are ignorant, or you just want to lie. Ask those who have been there. I'll rest my case on this point. Make we no too talk am

Now, you say the church doesn't have the mandate to build industries. Fine. I agree. So how did they get the mandate to build schools?
Note that I'm not against churches building universities . I'm just against the fact that every church now builds it's own universities. Our purpose of getting education is to have a positive impact in the society, while we make a living. There is no platform for us to make a living. There are no jobs, and no structures on ground to create one. Instead of using this loophole to impact godly principles into people, we still create more problems

Look at Nigeria. Every state has its own university, polytechnic and other tertiary institutions. Coupled with the ones of the Federal government and you still see sense in adding more.

Talking about godly principles, what class of Nigerians are they targeting? The rich or the poor? Because a middle class Nigerian will not find paying 500k a semester easy, not to talk of the poor.

Be it known to thee that there are other super mega churches outside Nigeria and Africa. If the aim was to impact godly principles, they should have littered their countries with universities too.

HigherEd:
You ask why churches build universities? That I'm sorry to say is very funny. The churches build universities to be able to pass the Christian ordinance into a youthful population. Having the opportunity to teach students the ways of God under the platform of secular education is too great an opportunity to pass by. To correct ills of the society by taking folks at their formative stage and serving as an incubation for their developments into morally equipped individuals with reverence and knowledge of God.

Now churches have been building universities even before the person who named Nigeria was born and even preceded the US government and European nations to establish them. The Harvard's, Yale, Notre dame, yonsei would never have existed without the church.



As per industry the church has no mandate in it. Why should the church build industries? To create wealth - it is not the role of the church to create wealth, To provide jobs - It is not the role of the church to provide jobs. Unlike Universities, industries don't serve any relevance to the mandate of the church or her gospel. Let Kings remain kings and priest remain priest.

The church continues to have a mandate in creating schools(especially primary and secondary), Orphanages, Rehabs and Hospitals. Skill acquisitions for members is ok, building income generating companies is taking it too far.



No church university in Nigeria today is for profit making. The most expensive one, Babcock is subsidized by 2% of her total budget by the adventist church. Apostolic church gives Crawford 350 million subsidy every year, CU gets above 2 billion grants from winners every year. Landmark has gotten 6 billion in the past few years(I can go on!)



Are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Yonsei, Notre dame affordable to the poor? Shouldn't they have been created(by the church) because the poor couldn't afford them? Do you even know the purpose of creating universities. You think it is to share admission for people.


Mockery? You sir are beginning to spout nonsense. The church universities which have run uninterrupted academic calendars, housed students like actual human beings, provided amenities the govt can't provide are suddenly the ones who are making a mockery of education. To take it further you are quite confused also. You just accused the church of profit mongering after slandering them for not investing in industries which are huge money spinners. It is safe to assume you would end up accusing the church of anything your imagination can create if they actually go into building industries.

uboma:
That command was made to a certain tribe in Israel.

You are not under that command.

So please stop trying to sound righteous.....

How did you verify they are Fulanis?

Cos of your hate for the presidents tribe

Acidosis:
So far, this is the most reasonable post here.

He has only been a Senator for 3 years. He has not earned any more than the rest of the Senators. Senators don't/can't steal from the Budget of the Senate so he has earned just the exact amount with people like Remi Tinubu since the past 3 years.

The question then is; how did he acquire these cars (99% of which was gotten way before becoming a Senator).

To answer your question, Dino was one of those politicians who openly opposed Goodluck Jonathan. He was sponsored and paid HEAVILY by the now APC administration to oppose GEJ administration. He used to run a foundation/movement in Abuja and that movement allowed him to frustrate lots of "corrupt" politicians, including Farouk Lawan, Dimeji Bankole, etc (of course we have all forgotten because we have very short memories).

If you know Dino way back in 2011, 2012, you'll know that he has become a "poor" man by even considering to become a toothless Senator. He has earned more money from blackmails than he can ever earn on the floor of the Senate in 3 years.

MrsNwaAmaikpe:


Kogi and Benue....i dont know which of them will overtake Bornu state as the most violent state in Nigeria.


The contest seems very rift these days as Fulani herdsmen in Benue seems to persist and insist on Samuel Ortom of Benue bagging the award.

Chizuru01:
They didn't follow instruction that is why they were Arrested, The order was to head down to Middlebelt but they decided to go to Nasarawa , that is why they were captured ;-)

Gboom:
You lack life experience.
Some people have never gone out of Nigeria and they are much more richer than those in abroad.
What you really need is the correct location

shobroy10:
The guy asking when Muslims come out against terrorism if not for ur laziness u could have just educate urself rather than acting dumb. For ur info Islam is not ur enemy and a true Muslim also is not. I don't blame you if am in ur shoes I will be affected too but the difference is I will look for answers rather than form ignorant. If u don't know am from where religion doesn't affect our reasoning as well as our relationship in all we do wc is at ur backyard in this same country.

We recognise the religion..

Is the Naval base the land of his god's ?

kolafolabi:
It was gathered that a Naval officer who wanted to take the suspect to the main naval base for further interrogation - let him go after collecting money from him.

The Naval Officer needs to be found and brought to book

onatisi:
there is something really strange about all these boko haram bombings
they claim to be fighting for the implementation of sharia and the suspension of formal education
and yet they are bombing muslims who are the propagators of sharia
when boko haram first started , they were bombing churches and government institutions but now the reverse is the case
coincidentally , fulani herds men are now killing Christians in the north . this is a very very complex situation that has no religious undertone rather it seems to be a political gambit .

fulani herd men are killing Christians
boko haram group are killing their fellow Muslims

BERNIMOORE:
