what have u benefitted from all the show's you have watched?

A lot if I must say, but certainly not shows like BB...ever heard of discovery channel?

myners007:
Please if u think the big brother show is the silliest and most uninteresting program to be air on tv, kindly hit the like button

Not only is it boring, its also a show for losers. What responsible adult would sit by a TV set watching a group of folks frolicking around all day? What are even the benefits of watching the BB show? Someone should pls tell me what I stand to learn from it

This is exactly the problem with Nigeria. The protest is about the deteriorating economy, about poverty, unemployment, tribalism and partial genocide, partiality and blatant abuse of federal xter principle..., I could go on with a thousand things wrong with Nigeria which this current govt promised, but have failed to fix.

Why make this about PDP vs APC? A nationwide protest about the removal of fuel subsidy was organized against GEJ led administration in 2012.

Mr Adesina, please address the issues at stake and stop digressing...Nigerians are smarter than that. Tell us what the govt plans to do to take us out of this diplorable state we are in right now, and stop trying to draw sympathy.

Femi just craving for relevance at all cost when we all know his mentally unstable.


Everybody he has attacked of recent has been quite without replies as they all aware of his predicaments

Who keeps bleating for years without getting attention and still can't read in-between the lines

Femi may be a madman, it doesn't mean that his take on this issue is unfounded.

Let's face it, what would it cost the federal government (VP inclusive) to issue a simple statement condemning the attacks on Christians and sympathize with affected families?

Only a fool will take the blue pills....do you have any idea of how much is $50m in today's naira if converted?

With the knowledge I have now, if I should go back to ten, $50mill will be my weekly income by the time I get to 45, for real.

For example, imagine that you were privy to know that Leicester would win the EPL before the start of last season. The odds for Leicester to win the EPL was 5000 odds. Now you bet on that across all the bookmakers available up to their maximum winnings. I guess you can do the maths of how much that would be. And this is just one avenue, I've not talked about technology, music, and so many other things you would know would happen before they do.

Have a rethink and take the blue pill would you

TeamSimple:
And the angels in heaven would start the revolution I guess. What are you waiting for? Be a hero,start the revolution instead of typing Amen and waiting for somehow to take your shine.

I guess your comment applies to you too. You can start the revolution as well, believe it or not, I'm playing my part already.

izzou:


A revolution will spring up soon in this country. It's just a matter of time.

A big amen to that, its right about time.

sleeknick:
REVOLUTION!!! 
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!! 
Lets kick off this trend. 
I'm ready to give my life for this course i swear! 
#GIVEMEMYCOUNTRY

I'm right beside you on this bro.
I think its high time we retire these old men with their archaic ideas of leadership, save the country from them and install young minds with futuristic ideas.

Let's face it, the future truly belongs to the youth, Obj, Buhari n co won't be around for much longer. So I say its time we start deciding how our future will look like, rather than allow people who won't be a part of it determine it for us.

Wetin person no go read about Lagos

I just read a post about a one arm man riding a bike in LAGOS! now this one again.

Patiently waiting to read a story about a blind man flying a plane in Lagos

flamingREED:
YOU'RE
IGNORANTLY
ANGRY.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BILLION DOLLARS AMERICA/AMERICANS CONTRIBUTE YEARLY TO FUND EDUCATION/RESEARCH?

DO YOU THINK POOR CHURCH MEMBERS COULD HAVE BUILT DEEPER LIFE'S 30 000 SEATER AUDITORIUM PLUS THE HIGH SCHOOLS IN SOME STATES TO STANDARD?

A POOR MAN WOULD PAY ONE-TENTH OF HIS SALARY A MONTH, IF HE'S FAITHFUL.
DO THE MATHS. SAY HE EARNS #30 000 MONTHLY, HIS TOTAL OFFERING IN THREE MONTHS IS #3000 X 3 = #9000. TELL ME, WILL THIS PAY HIS CHILD'S SCHOOL FEES PER TERM, AFFORDING THE CHILD AN UP-TO-DATE AND ADVANCED TUITION AND PAY THE TEACHER'S REASONABLE FEES AND ALSO SUPPORT THE RUNNING OF THE SCHOOL?

IN A YEAR THE MAN WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED ONLY #30 000. IS THAT WHAT WILL GUARANTEE HIS FAMILY OF FOUR ENROLLMENT INTO A HIGH-STANDARD PRIVATE UNIVERSITY?

YOU
PEOPLE
SHOULD
KNOW
THAT
THE
REAL
BURDEN
BEARERS
IN
A
CHURCH
ARE
THE SELFLESS RICH,
NOT THE POOR.

IF UNIVERSITIES ARE BUILT FOR THE RICH'S/MODERATELY RICH KIDS, IT'S NOT ENTIRELY A BAD IDEA.
BRING UP SUCH PERSONS IN GOD'S FEAR AND YOU'LL PUT THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD INTO GODLY INFLUENTIAL HANDS.

BUT TO SET THE RECORDS STRAIGHT:

YOU
PEOPLE
SHOULD
KNOW
THAT
THE
REAL
BURDEN
BEARERS
IN
A
CHURCH
ARE
THE SELFLESS RICH,
NOT THE POOR.

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.

micxwell:
Bro, may the God I serve fill your life to the brim with favour anf grace this year. Infact you just voiced out what is on my mind. GOD BLESS YOU.

Amen. God bless you too.

Ucheosefoh:
If you can see well you will see the stadium is still under construction and was approved for matches so comparing it with Uyo stadium makes no sense, one is individual efforts the other is government. Why not wait for the completion before asking questions

The article you posted made no mention about the stadium being partially complete or not. It was quick to hail the stadium as a world class stadium. Next time, input all the facts to a story so as not to mislead your readers. World class stadium or not, I admire the contributions of Ifeanyi Ubah to football development in Nigeria. That notwithstanding, I'll keep my fingers crossed and await the completion of the stadium. Then I'll be able to assess it whether it fits a world class status or not.

Ucheosefoh:
lol learn how to read and understand before talking trash on public forum

It seems you are the one with visual impairment oo, did you even read the article you posted at all. The article you posted clearly stated that a playground has been transformed into a world class stadium in 12 months. And I asked if that was a stadium or a training pitch. Atleast thanks to Akpabio, we know what a "world-class stadium" looks like. So I don't know what your problem is, or maybe you just enjoy insulting people online.

Ucheosefoh:
If you are having eye problem go and treat yourself, can't you see the project is uncompleted and was approved so that the club will host home games so next time observe well before asking stupid questions.

My question wasn't directed at you aszh*le, typical nairaland tout. You need a lesson on how to have civil conversations without insulting people.

Kennydoc:
Some of you guys talk without thinking.
First, how do you know the church is making profit from the fees? Do you know how many students they have as at now versus staff on their payroll?

Now, let's do a little calculation.
Let's assume they have 1000 students as at now (it's still a new university) and each student pays an average tuition of 600k per annum, in one year, the school will generate 600 million naira. This is their main source of income.
Now imagine they have only 100 lecturers across the 3 faculties, and each lecturer earns an average of 250k per month. It means each lecturer will earn an average of 3 million naira per annum. So 100 lecturers will earn about 300 million naira per annum, out of 600 million.
We haven't talked about non-academic staff, cost of equipping the labs, maintenance of facilities etc.

Guy, running a university is freaking expensive. University tuition cannot be cheap.
You probably compare these church owned universities with their federal counterparts. That's an unfair comparison.
The FG pays the salaries of all the workers in federal unis and still gives the schools money for running the institutions, in form of subventions. Such money never gets to private unis, as they have to source for all their funds through tuition.
Were FG not paying salaries and providing for the running of the universities, I can bet you that the minimum fees Nigerians would have been paying in federal universities won't be less than 400k. Same applies to state owned universities.

Again, it isn't really the poor people in the churches that provide for the needs of the churches. How much do they have? There are people that sow seeds in tens of millions. People donate hundreds of thousands to make things work in the churches. It's mainly the financial contributions of these ones that cause mighty projects to be executed, not people that give 20k and nobody will hear again.

Nobody says your child must attend your church's university cos you contributed in building it. If you can't afford the tuition, choose a cheaper school. Even at 150k, many people still cannot afford it, so will the church now make it free?
What do you personally consider as affordable fees?
I work in a hospital where staff get drugs at cost price, but because the cost prices of the branded drugs sold in the hospital sometimes outweigh the prices of non-branded alternatives sold in pharmacies outside, sometimes I go and buy drugs from outside instead of buying from our hospital.

Please, you guys should stop criticising for the fun of it. Try and be more reasonable.

Is it compulsory for a church to own a University? Whose child do they hope to train at the university if their members can't afford the tuition fee for their kids? Children of corrupt politicians? Think about the message they will be passing across.

lionlamb020:
Let's stop all this hypocrisy abeg... Have you ever opened a nursery before?? If it were about profit what would you say about American university? Most of these fees are the only reasons why those schools haven't closed down. I was also once a sceptic concerning this, until I realized that the schools wouldn't have been able to maintain those standards if they had the same fees with government unis.. Cos after the building which y'all are talking about that was built with tithes and offerings (which isn't completely true BTW) they have to do the harder task - RUN the school.. *think*

you are missing the point, its not a question of weda a private university is expensive to run. The point is, what is the motive for establishing a private university in the first place? For a church, I would like to think that their motive should be to provide a better alternative to the public schools. We all know that our public versities is a hub of all form of social vices like cultism and indecent dressing. Therefore, a church owned university should be a place of high moral and educational standards, where members can send their kids to without the fear of them being corrupted or initiated into cult groups.

Therefore, a church should not bother to set up a university if over 90% of its members can't afford to send their kids to such a school. Whose kids do they hope to train, when they setup the versity and fix such a high price as tuition fee? in a country where over 60% of Nigerians live below $1 per day.

Somebody made mention of quality education being free in Germany. It is true. What that person failed to mention is the fact that most of these schools abroad get constant donations from ex-students, organizations, and wealthy citizens to maintain the standard of the school. Unfortunately in Nigeria, instead of donating to our public universities to improve the standards, our politicians and other wealthy Nigerians set up their own schools to compete with the public schools, thereby worsening their ratings and standard further. It is disheartening to see that even churches have joined in this trend.

A church should not concern itself with building schools, their plates are full already as it were. Millions of people still haven't heard of Jesus, and according to Mark 16:15-16, evangelism is the only commission Jesus gave to the church.

Bottom line is that churches should not be building universities to compete with our public universities, they can use the fund to donate equipments, and fund research work in our schools. But if for any reason they set up a university, it should be for the benefit of its members and for the furtherance of the gospel of Christ. Anything contrary to this is unacceptable. Unless the schools were set up to make profit.
