Statsocial:Well, by this metric, we can conclude that church schools have turned out to be massive failures? In what way have they brought about a spiritual revolution in Nigeria? Are things any better than 30 years ago when all we had were government schools? 2 Likes |

op missed the point,whether tithes or donations,the money came mostly from the congregation so they should be considered in determining the tuition I.e they should be made to pay like one thirds the amount they would have charged non members rather than this token scholarship grants they hand out to some members whose wards attend such mission schools. Speaking of quality,with all the money being sunk into these private universities to build start of the art infrastructure,how come none of them is found in the top 1000 universities in the world? Why are they not driving inventions and innovations outside of the school environment,why is Nigeria not leading Africa in IT for example,with all that's being put in to provide world class teaching in these private universities? 1 Like |

This writer is playing on our intelligence. Tithe, offering and donations are all in the same category. They are God's money not meant for business but propagation of the gospel of Christ, keeping the house of God and taking care of the needy. Why should people keep up donation for University projects when the church is charging huge fees. Make it affordable for the common man and see if God will not open the windows of heaven to provide for the cause. Our mega church Pastors have failed to learn from the Bible they carry and preach. Mathew chapter 25 has shown us the fate of our so called righteous Pastors and Men of God. Let us consider what the bible says in Mathew 25: 37 - 46. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Our so called MOGs are not targeting the[b] least of these[/b]. They are not making education available and affordable for the least of these : the poor. They benefitted from the tithe, offerings and donations made available by missionaries for schools and hospitals. Yet, when it is their own turn to make impact on the next generation which the poor makes the bulk, they have refused to educate the least of these. The Writer has failed in his attempt to manipulate our thinking. If church business is not lucrative enough to make educatoon affordable for the poor, Why is it lucrative enough to manage 2 - 5 private jets? He says expensive universities isnt unique to church universities.... Should churches operate on the same wavelenght with profit making institutions? Where he failed totally is his submission that thr purpose of setting up private universities is spiritual. He called it Spiritual revolution. No it is not. This is a greedy revolution. 2 Likes |

Going by your claims, then the school wouldn't have continued in existence. We all have engaged in one form of business or other. No business will make loss continously as u claim and still exist except nonprofit making organizations ( though all businesses have it's peak and off-peak periods ) . Even businesses that breakeven cant last as long. Your writeup is based on assumptions, sorry, that's not how we determine profitability of a venture, You are still an undergraduate ( no offense ) ,as such you see it from one angle( as we are told ) but it's different out here ( as was told and as it is ). Let the schools board come out to make the claims, then I will believe you |

Worth the way the OP wrote, I knew (s)he was an insider. People just talk ignorantly but I am happy with your conservative analysis. Despite not making money from the venture, the man went on to build another in Kwara, why? Because he wants to raise a new crop of leaders. Has he been perfect? NO. Successful? 110% 1 Like 1 Share |

But the OP just did a simple analysis that shows that the school is been run at a deficit. Is that not proof enough that the fees are already subsidized? PietraK: 1 Like |

princejenks:Let us be fair. The unis ranking top 1000 in the world have all being there for decades, or even 100s of years. The faith based schools in Nigeria just started. Non is up to 20years old. They have come a long way, and I'm proud of some specific ones who have proved themselves that they have a good mgt team in place, and can only get better. Let us also be honest with ourselves, tithes and offerings cannot sustain these schools. How many indigent people really pay the tithes and offering? Someone that has no money to even feed, and you're talking of tithes and offering? Is it not the money you have that you will put down? I know indigent people who have gone to CU, on scholarships. Because they are indigent, and also deserving. Deserving in the sense that they have a good academic record. That's the way scholarships should be given anyway. I know a lot of churches that verify the help they give through the home fellowship system. If you're not an active member of the home fellowship, then you're not considered a true member. The home fellowship is such that its a small gathering of members usually as small as 5-20, that come to worship together and can even raise help amongst themselves. If that's not possible, and you need help, your home cell fellowship leader can verify you with the church, that you've been an active member for long. Its a better system, as a lot of people can get lost in the crowd of the main church. Many don't realise this. The church leaders aren't clairvoyant. If you need help, or envisage you may need help in the future look for your church's home cell fellowship around you and start being active there now. Let them know you. That's one of the easiest ways they use in knowing their members. I know this because I've observed closely, from afar how some of these systems work. 2 Likes |

your write up was going nicely until you started throwing figures. point of correction my friend the 400million wage bill is per annum not per month. let me explain it is well know that the average salary of a private uni lecturer is about 300thousand after combining both academic and non academic staff and those university don't have up to 100 working staff strength because it is government owned universities that have that number of staff in fact let's even give them 120 staffs multiplied by the average salary gives you 36million monthly. multiply that by 12 and you get the right figure of an average yearly salary of a private university. note that the 300thousand is far above the average salary but for the sake of parity I chose that and the staff strength is as high as that. in the year 2012 Uniben one of the biggest university in the country in terms of staff and facility declared annual staff salary for both academic and non academic staff to be at 800 million and this is a school with two campuses and staff strength combined ranging over 300.if you day their month salary is 400 million the implication is they have an average of 800 staff that they pay averagely 500k each or 400 staff that they pay one million each lol, we all know the salary structure of private universities especially church owned besides I have a brother lecturing in convenant uni. I know that monthly wage bill is not only impossible but unimaginable. so if the number of student is actually correct that you stated for the private university covenant then they are making a huge load of cash in profit from it. thanks 2 Likes |

dadaic:Hmm... Dude calm down. Oyedepo isn't doing this for profit. If you bothered to calculate everything,you'd understand that he actually doesn't make profits from them. It is in a quest to increase the quality of education in Nigeria that he built those schools. No matter where you go, you'll never find a cheap private university with good standards like the ones Oyedepo has. And what makes you think the pastors don't pay their children's fees completely.
