Yes, he is right.

(If you want to quote me to abuse me, you will be reported to the moderators. You can be mature about disagreeing with me)

The harsh truth is that funding our universities is a difficult thing. IN 2009, ASUU and government signed an agreement. BY 2013, the money had not been paid, and by 2018, about less than one third of the money promised had been paid...and that's it.

IN 2018, the then VC of ABU, Zaria, gave a speech. IN the speech he stated that his overheads were 600million for the year. Government gave him 120 million and told him to find the rest of the money...like how? That is how he ended up saying ....you want cambridge level, charge cambridge level fees.

You cannot pay fees less than 200000 and expect quality worth 2billion naira. It is not possible. I know that most of us are poor....and so forth, but the thing is, unviersites cost money. Too much money to run, to pay teachers and other staff, to buy equipment. Our universites are in an atrocious state, and paying such low fees, and then pretending we can reach the level of a Harvard or Oxford is a joke. The oil money we have, even if we fight corruption, cannot raise our universites to high level, without us spending over half our budget on the thing.

Yes, our fathers went to university for free...back when there were less than 7 universites with about 4000 students or less. Govt then could manage. Today, the numbers are going up.

God knows I hate the Tinubu loan scheme, and I know it would fail, but what are the alternatives? Taxation, we no gree. Punish corruptuion, we gree...until it is our side (See how people were angry at the US senate for going after GEJ, AND I know how BAT People get annoyed when bullion vans and drug money is mentioned, and then Obi and Pandora and money in the car...and then Atiku own self...lol)...then we no go gree. Pay ASUU their money, we no gree. Diversify the economy, we no gree. Industrialise, we no gree.

Either we find 30 trillion naira every year. or more for education alone, or we just accept that tuition fees is all that is left. Nigeria is a broke nation. The corruption makes it worse. And even if we fought the corruption AS WE SHOULD...it would still not be enough.

Michael547:
What exactly is grace? That is the question.

Michael547:
What exactly is this grace that you are referring to?

Puss360:
Lol.. Does it truly matter... What matters is if the trips are all worth it...

For comparison, Since 2020 Joe Biden became president till date, he has embarked on 29 foreign trips... One country each...
Excluding Uk which he has gone 6 times making it a total of 35 foreign trips!!!!

Okite15:
Stop spewing false things to enable children of God contemplate suicide.
Desist from this and preach Christ!

Majesty7:
The overall judgement belongs to God only FOOLS will claim they know what will happen hereafter. Do good and leave ALL judgement to the divine one

membranus:
There is no use in arguing with someone who is bent on arguing his way hellfire.

Goodluck to you, but never try to commit suicide.

For it is also written " Thou shalt not kill",

Whatsoever is pressing anybody to think of committing suicide, a Christian should tell it to Jesus, He is more than capable of providing solution to it.

There is no redemption for any Christian that intentionally committed suicide

, as there was none for Judas who intentionally hanged himself for shame.

Pimine:
My brother, as someone who once struggled to grasp the concept of Grace and eternal security, I assure you that this thread will only create more confusion and wouldn't yield any benefits.

Focus on discipling willing believers around you. There is no point arguing. These things are revealed.

4tomandchi:
The Ecumenical Council confirmed that Judas was condemned to hell fire.

Suicide is not an option no matter how big your sins are even if they’re deep like scarlet the father says come to me and I will wash you clean like wool.

otherway:
God does not judge the way man does.

Suicide is as a result of mental disorder.

Before anyone commits suicide he or she first drifts into madness(mental illness). You can't judge a mentally ill person.

So in my opinion, someone can commit suicide and still end up in heaven.

God is the ultimate judge.

membranus:
You are preaching antinomianism,

which is the belief that once you are saved, heaven is sure for you

no matter whatever sins you committed thereafter. Bro, that's the height of apostasy, and a very wrong doctrine.

For it is written in Mark. 4:4 that only "He that shall endure unto the end the same shall be saved".

Akwamkpuruamu:
Wake up from your delusion. No de whine urself

ejimatic:
. No ! God will forgive them!

TONERO500:
You'll be in heaven if you're a born again Christian,( John 10 vs 28 and 29) you'll also be in heaven if you're a little child that was not opportuned to give his or her life to Christ, but you'll be in hell if you're an unbeliever.you can never lose your salvation once you're a born again believer, this means sin doesn't take one to hell, it's unbelief that takes one to hell, the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the holy spirit and blasphemy against the holy spirit mean rejecting Christ or rejecting what Christ has done for us.

Goodlady:
Yes. They ll go to hellfire for commiting suicide.

Thereishel:
Moreover, it's clearly stated in the bible Thou shalt not kill Exodus 20: 13. This include killing yourself or others

MightySparrow:
I don't get it. Explain more

MightySparrow:
Thou shall not kill.



This includes,' thou shall not kill yourself '

No, the field is not the kingdom.
The gospel is the seed, the kingdom comes when the gospel has fully being preached on the earth.
The gospel is the mustard seed and the kingdom is the mustard tree that came out from the seed meaning the kingdom would come when the seed has fully being planted on earth.

Steep:
No we prioritize the kingdom but we make use of this earth as a tool for the kingdom.

This earth will pass away bit the church of Jesus christ will remain and reign forever, so a wise person will prioritize the kingdom of God.

gohf:
you have moved from serving church to serving pastor 😏

And here I thought the duty of humans is to obey and serve God, Eccl. 12:13

gohf:
Good luck sir, more grace I hope you are serving the earth very well.

May your reward be great 😃👍👍🏾

I am a Christian, I have never defaulted in tithing in the last 5 years. Not once.
