80% of the church members who pay tithes and offerings cannot afford this university for their children, I know that because I have seen how wretched most of them look. Yet, they will still keep on donating the pittance they earn to the church.

my nigga am tired of this madness going on in nigeria...these men of "pasture" think we are apes

People often wrongly assume that church members having contributed in the building of the school should all send their kids to the school for free, that is arrant nonsense. Universities built by churches actually are the cheapest because unlike private universities built by private individuals for business goals/ profit; the faith based universities don't make any profit for their owners/ the churches. Infact churches grant subvention to their universities to run effectively because the fees paid do not take care of all the bills. So, when we argue about the fees paid by the faith based universities, we should understand that they don't receive one kobo from government. An average public university in Nigeria receives as much as 200 to 300 million per month from government to run, where do the private universities get theirs from?

Which private school is cheap?
How will they pay the professors and lecturers?
How will they equip the school?

The money should come from the tithe payer's

general111:
my brother,this online heroes the tire me...even private secondary schools are quite expensive.you can't expect the church to spend so much to start a university,and abandoned it later due to inbality to fund it...if you ask me,the school fee is not expensive compared to other private universities.

Even some State owned Universities are paying over 200k in this country.

dicefrost:

Nobody forces people in deeperlife to pay tithe. I have rarely heard abt a preacher, preaching tithe in the church.

If you don't wana pat tithe, nobody forced.

So just understand.

Abeos:
Even though I will agree that the fees are high, I can't blame them because the cost of running such an institution is high. I only hope they also give scholarship opportunities for good but indigent students

Btw I'm ftc o

But is it by force to open university This is so annoying and appalling indeed must every church owns university I don't get it at all.

Pls us this how every mosque or traditional worshippers opening university any how everywhere Pls this is just nonsense.

This is why many has refused to go to church again pls what is all these nonsense

You open such universities in the name of church and the low income and the poor members who donated all they have for this same universities will ends up being ask to pay almost a million naira to get better course for their kids in that same university built by their tithe and offering pls what is all these It really pissed me off.

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*

The tithe and offering can very well run the school

CRAPHA96:
my nigga am tired of this madness going on in nigeria...these men of "pasture" think we are apes

HAA IF THEY ARE NOT READY TO FINANCE THE DEPANCE THAT GOES WITH IT...THEN THEY SHOULDN'T EMBARK OF THE PROJECT....



STILL WONDERING WHAT THEY ARE USING OUR OFFERINGS TO DO

Ariel20:


In as much as the school fees looks outrageous I beg to differ on your point. It's just common sense that the school would be a separate legal entity from the church

Churches are categorized as non for profit organization, that's why they are allowed to take contributions without taxation. They are not supposed to be more expensive than private for profit entities. Stop defending the indefensible.

the main thing is that as a father/mother if u cant afford the fees then look for the one you can afford...is not by going to quality school that would make your children be what they suppose to b in life

private university can never be cheap na, u peeps should stop bickering. you all have to take into consideration the cost of running the institution. the lecturers will have to be paid, cost of running generator to power up the buildings and hostels. All these things are what makes private universities expensive. if u want to talk about quality of education they provide, it boils down to the kind of lecturers they employ. you guys need to know that the lecturers in private universities were once lecturers in public universities so u all cant come here shaming private universities be it owned by a church or not.

Daboywizzy:
Let kumuyi continue to mislead people with a doctrine from hell.

may God forgive you my bro

Nice.....keep offering tithes so we can build a Bigger university next time

It is not also by force to go to their university. It's a matter of choice

Timothy3113:
please what reason is the university established, is it for profit making or to help the people??

You are right, the tithe payers are the real slowpoke.. After paying tithe and offering, they still can't benefit from it.

If the school is not for profit making, The fee shouldn't be up to that. Imagine the cost of house rent and they will never allow a student rent a house out of the school. Gross hypocrisy... the Total tuition is simply 1million ... na who dem dey deceive?

THIS IS BAD

YOU MEAN IN THIS RECESSION


PEOPLE STILL PAY THIS FEES??


SOME BODY PLS HELP ME WITH GLASSES

jeebz:
Another thread looking to condemn private christian universities.

1. Quality education is not cheap anywhere in the world. Check Harvard, Princeton and similar universities.
2. I believe that the church would have a scholarship scheme for bright students who are members and non-members of the church.
3. Remember, this is a second private university in Lagos.

We can only give them say a ten period before we judge.

Those schools you talk of give promising students scholarships.
Why is it such a taboo for Christian bodies to give a little something in return

OK nah. Nice response I love your answer you know what? This is why this country is in this mess. If you speak the truth people attack you. If you think opening uni. all over the places by churches is your own way of understanding bible so be it very nice one but I tell the uni. they are all opening does not help their members that really need such uni.to educate their kids so it doesn't worth it.
