| Why Are Church Owned Schools Too Costly??? by Rexhenrex(m): 11:57pm On Sep 10, 2016 |
This got me thinking "How can a church own a school and the poor can't attend it...? How can you be teaching people how they can make it to the kingdom of God when they can't enter your own earthly 'kingdom', built with people's tithes and donations...? How can Christian schools be the most expensive schools in Nigeria now its plain hipocrisy how we preach what we can't do and do what we don preach. How can one relate this to the term "Christianity"with regards to the "Early Christian Community" This is not what Jesus thought us. basically What this churchs that own such schools are trying to say is that quality education is only the prerogative of the wealthy.because I know This is not what Jesus thought us truth ought to be said the bible said the poor shall always remain amidst us but the big question is what are we doing about them(the poor)? imagine a poor member of the church who in one way or the other contributed to the establishment of a centre for learning but can't send his/her child to the school he was a part of? No matter how we will want to paint this matter it can never be justifiable because this church owned school should be a way of drawing more souls to christ and not creating social inequality as it is today some widows can't send there children to these church owned school so how then can the society feel the presence of the church today?? In jos secondary schools owned by churches are a no go area because of the money involved people opt for privated schools owned by individual and its a shame. the church has failed woefully in this area and this ill needs to be corrected as no excuse can justify this ill we are seeing today... . , , pls anyone with valid reason why church owned schools are more costly should please enlighten me and other curious individual out there worst of all even at the secondary school level...thank you. written by ifeanyi obidinma(rexhenrex) cc..lalasticlala pls lets her from the people |

good topic. my view. education and religion are separate arms practically, unless in a case where the school is built inside a church, one can become normative. with that being said a church can own and manage a school like every other individual and corporation. it is an INVESTMENT of the church with the purpose of making profit. if you can afford it you can attend if you cant, lurch off please. the church and the school are two separate organisation, the general overseer of most churches don't manage the schools or it ministers, mostly they outsource professionals and remunerate them. this is a cost to the school. a school is not a charitable organization , it incur cost and pays it from income generated or do you expect the church to pay staff with tithes and offerings? op let me ask you. comprehend this scenario, you worship in a certain church and sell phones. would you reduce the price to your church members when they patronise your goods? ofcourse not as a business man who always want to maximise his profit, why? because religion is different from business uh? 1 Like |

well, Falconey has said the nitty gritty. Business and Religion are two separate arms entirely. Even though some these so called church schools self fix fees that are way too exorbitant. Meanwhile, I'd be releasing my track titled My Nation, on or before 1st October. This song is dedicated to Nigeria my country. Nairalanders Anticipate hard !  well, Falconey has said the nitty gritty. Business and Religion are two separate arms entirely.

falconey:falconey....am honoured you came up with something very insightful but the thing here is this....a church is expected to play its role its not suposed to be driven by proit making if a church sees a school as an investment the it lack vision yes it lacks vision because other private schools owned by individuals in most cases don't have throat slashing fees compared to that of the church owned schools and also how then can the help the needy if there fees are too high? What happens to the poor,the less previlledged,widows and oftens?? The school shouldn't be free but don't you think a very fair amount as fees would alleviate the suffering of those who are not living in affluence? |

Rexhenrex: you are being sentimental, what you anticipate is whatever a church set up should be for the purpose of supporting and assisting the society, sometimes the tithes and offerings can not expand the church operations, church need to engage in lucrative activities, invest. let assume it is not a school but an estate. let assume an estate of 50 houses, rent for each is 1m naira a year typically. what do you expect in this case? the church should rent it out for 200k because it is owned by a church? no! it is an INVESTMENT I REPEAT. A church can assist the society in other ways apart from establishing an affordable schools for the society. these schools are standardized schools worth the fees. they promote the economy. the rich have a school in the country that provide equal service of that of schools abroad. the income from these schools are disbursed in the church activities, the church may no longer need to ask members for fund to finance certain projects because of the gains from these schools. in addendum, gains from these high fees schools can be used to set up free schools specifically for poor members of the church or the general public. it is not a must I attend my church established schools if I can't afford it, they are other private and public schools one can enroll. my question is did the church stop doing the social intervention of supporting orphans, widows, less privileged, handicaps, etc? |

hmmm[sighs] I will say Its pathetic and its not, why?cause i think most of the accused university were not build with tithes and offerings of the members. The standard of Education must be kept , you dont expect a lecturer to be paid chicken change at the end of the month or semester, which ever way they are paid. The university most at least produce befitting graduates.. Not scumbags! So the university most at least gain back that cash to pay the lecturers and non-teaching staffs. More reasons to come.. I want to think/drink water . |

[b]you made valuable points, but what i still stand by is that its fees is not supposed to be too high neither should it be too low. also i said so because here in jos there are church schools that pay up to 170-230k logically it makes no sense that a member who longs to send his kids to the school which he was part of its success can't do so due to the fee requirement...also the instance of an estate you gave is totally not inline why because that of the school is something that is very evident in the society compared to the illustration of an estate which is very diferent although i know its just an example. and secondly the church is not supposed to be materialistic as you are quite portraying it to look so.i said this because you keep emphasizing on church investment but is that what should be the church priority  Absolutely not, like i early mentioned the early church shared with one another and helped each other with what the have. the church should do so structures and money don't make up a church, but rather you and i make up a church the aim of a church should be soul winning and not all about surmounting wealth. subsidized education by the church should be a way of giving to the society and winning more souls and it should be more paramount than anyother thing what will it pay for the church to gather billions without performing its task besides church school will also install good morals to this kids not as if other schools can't do it but the church can make money and still win souls by affordable education provision by this non-believers can be converted since they will put there wards in a school they can afford the might be touched by the kind gesture of the church.[/b] cc;falconey |
| Re: Why Are Church Owned Schools Too Costly??? by falconey(m): 1:23am On Sep 11, 2016 |
Rexhenrex: LWKM how is a church owning an estate not evidential? the church can name the estate after the church's name or inform it members about it. isn't that the same with school? anyway I kept corresponding but you never for once answered my question, did any of the church stop doing it primary objective you kept mentioning? |
| Re: Why Are Church Owned Schools Too Costly??? by ANBAKO: 2:00am On Sep 11, 2016 |
Simply because the School and church "shareholders" are capitalists with bible and capitalists always want to maximize profit. Do good for good to come your way!!! |
| Re: Why Are Church Owned Schools Too Costly??? by Rexhenrex(m): 7:08am On Sep 11, 2016 |
ANBAKO:yea you are right about this they are driven by profit making ....btw falconey even if they are doing all of there primary duties in the area of education they are missing it and they are not supposed to do some and leave some..lalasticlala we need views pls do something |
