OBAGADAFFI:


How much did this Pastors and politicians pay for AWOLOWO free and quality education?

Read and digest my earlier post very well. Awolowo's free and quality education was at the expense of Government which heavily subsidized and waived what the citizens would have paid for. It's not the case with churches. The annual budget of some of those churches can't find their universities in a sustainable manner. With the so called high tuition fees in privste universities, are you aware thry still suffer paucity of funds? That's the truth of the matter.

YoungRichRuler:
The way people used to talk about Covenant University makes me think Deeper Life will come up with 100K as School fees per session.

OP Abeg go and research other private universities owned by churches maybe you will see anyone within 100k range


As if Universities abroad are cheap to attend

pauls university

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

Harvard University is about the most expensive school in the world. It was started by a church. I don't see people talking about helping the poor when talking about Harvard. All the schools established to help the poor blacks in America are not cheap. You still need scholarship to be able to attend if you are poor.

ggoldmine:


We don't need more schools. It will only increase the number of graduates 'outside the age bracket', I.e. ppl gaining admission at the age of 14 while those at 21+ are still seeking admission. We need training centres or better still, jobs.

I guess I agree with you. Nice

SunnyBlaze1:
You want church owned schools to offer free education abi


How will they pay their professors


#hyppcrites

The money they make one Sunday can pay all staff of d institution

Why is Madonna university owned by Catholic expensive? Why are they not charging N50,000 as tuition fee?

Dnt deceive others, D Catholic Church owns no university in Nigeria... Madonna is owned by Rev Father Ede, a priest in d church, not the church

Toptipster:
crappy comment.. First question needed an answer!!! And no one here has brought up a real answer. why open a school with offering money..or they don't know the consequence of opening a school before you shouting fund this fund that, proffesor this, lecturer that.. Where is the total profit going to.. The running of church? Or feeding the poor or to finace the minister pocket when they are not certain of your dwindling offering they needed bigger money abi?. Later we shout christ-like which means christian..check your bible every things he did was free. He never charged a kobo for feeding 5,000 people and he is more particular about gaining soul...we have gone far from what was written in the bible and we have delve into profit making..world reasoning like we are making the earth safer for our kids not to be exposed to earthly things in the national university..you guys are joker..what happened to your fathers kingdom in heaven. Jesus moved from village to village spreading the gospel and gaining followers..spends most of his time in the wideness. Give what is for ceaser what belongs to him and give what is of God to him.. We should be buiding our place in heaven not making the earth too confortable...yes I'm a chrstian and all this end time pastor made me stop going to church for 2 years now.. I can do what most do.. Cram the posperity part of the bible leaving the real message and feed you ignorant people.. Retracting my step back to ifa..lol.

Reading you post provoked my mind and I have thought and thought and I have come to this conclusion.
Yes the cost to run a free or low cost university should been thought of and pursued, but I guess its not something they could afford in the long run. So to avoid shutting down they chose to run for continuance through generating running cost (I don't think its profit).
Then again, if the church focuses solely on evangelism and rehabilitation, there would be less need for religious tertiary institutions where the need to shut out decaying societal morals from swallowing our kids. This would be because the society would be better.
It is such a pity that isn't really the case anymore. But who are we to judge...
Lets leave that for the one who called us all to this race and focus on meeting our savior clean and whole.
Everyone has a point from their own point of reasoning, but God will decide what is right.
...
Now whatsoever you are called to do, do it with all thy might.
Run that race with all grace and strength given to you.
Look not to the right or to the left.
Think not on what others are doing.
Follow your vision, run with it.
God help us all.

If you say so.does Ajayi crowder university charge N50,000 for school fees?

private university churches in Nigeria are really expensive. the truth be told, there is a need for the church to still sponsor the school for a period of years . the church needs to empower the youth so that the youth can give back to the community. also, for its members, the church needs to provide a 50% slash in its fees and I also do believe govt needs to come in by providing subsidy so that people can pay fees in low rate thereby helping our educational system.

during the time I was studying in Ghana, I discovered that there were student who were members of the church paying 50% of the tuition fees.

I dnt understand why anyone should go into what cannot help D common man, if u say education is not cheap, y go into it??, if it's not cheap, y not look for something else to do thts cheap Tht would benefit everyone, we dnt think in this country, pple just defend pastors, priest, church for no reason

I am a catholic and if I am wrong and I find out that D Catholic Church owns a university Tht no one can afford, excepttge rich, I wish bash them, just like I will always bash and criticize that Madonna of a school.....

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?

Education isn't cheap anywhere in the world?. The church doesn't take decision without consultation and so they had reached conclusion before getting to this stage. Secondly nobody was forced to contribute or attend such university and even if they were, such a person had the choice to either comply or not. Thirdly there are alternatives available to people,if you can't attend private schools then opt in for public schools as the cost of running public schools are bear by the government that's why it can comfortably pay lecturers and non academicians salaries even though the fee payment isn't commensurable. But that of private is different. So you may ask why go into such venture? The truth of the matter is that it's not for profit making even though the fees are high but to build men with sound character in the Christian faith. Such schools have rules that their students most comply with that's why cultism in such institution are rare but rampant on public schools. This is what is lacking in most public schools that most parents don't mind selling their properties to send their kids there because they're in safe hands and the fear of forcing kids to join cult isn't there.

This is 2 to 3 times cheaper than some other private universities




[quqote author=DonALdep post=52657094]Anchor University owned by the Deeper Christian Life Ministry(DCLM) Popularly known as "Deeper Life" has released their school fees for the 2016/2017 session. The session is beginning with three Faculties, Natural and Applied Science, Social science, and Humanities. details and some screenshots of the fees are attached below:[/quote]

How can u prove that these universities are not profit making..... If u can prove ur claim den I'll give in, if u can't then u r a very stvpid person. Are they even taxed??, I dnt think they are because they hide under the non profit banner

saintmark88:

They're not making profit and if they were,it's small. The cost of maintenance ,payment of wages, updating facilities to meet up with nuc standard alone cost money. Such schools hardly run medicine because they can't afford to do it. If need their cost analysis, visit the school accountant for details. Moreover Nigeria churches aren't the churches running universities in the world

I'm sure Anchor University must have a school uniform and badge. Young girls looking very old and dressed like grandmas. Smh.

A friend went to their wedding reception yesterday, she came back vexing for everyone. She angrily went to bed. Boring boring and annoying was all she was muttering... She said "they no even play music" and lol.

I don't think Nigeria will develop to compete with the rest of the first world nations if what I see every day on nairaland is a replica of our youths cognition .Here people attack issues directly with out using an ominiscientic view

DrayZee:
They are not running a charity foundation. If you can't afford their fees, go somewhere else. People complaining about fees are still the same people that will say the school is rubbish. Hypocrites

If they are not running a charity org (which they are supposed to anyway as an NGO) I want to believe they are paying TAX to govt like every other school.

Deeperlife hypocrites defending the indefensible.

This has nothing to do with how much it takes to run the university , most of the money used to build the university and even continue to maintain it comes from the pockets of ordinary church members who can barely make two ends meet.

To think that only those with plenty of money will be able to afford the fees is disgusting , wicked and very evil.

I keep saying these churches have NOTHING to do with Christ and this is a prime example.

You guys are the worst hypocrites of all Nigerian christendom.

With all your empty talk about holiness and being like Christ, this is the best explanation you can come up with ?

battleaxe:


For the few missionary outfits I heard about, most were staffed purely by volunteers or nuns/priests who had teaching qualifications. Hence, that was their calling/posts. The catholic church does quite the investment in training of its own.

BEAUTIFUL !!! But the question still remains, why can't the above church do what you have just written.

subsidised further? Why are you displaying ur ignorance here naw?? JABU i was told by one of their workers has to source/beg for about 40million monthly to pay their workers even when there fees is already very high, currently 650 or so. What do you suggest they do? Close de skul or further reduce fees? Their workers are still being owed Nov. and Dec. salaries on top o. So just shut up and learn.

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.
