Of what use is it when we continue to spend trillions on things that would perish and find it difficult to spend a penny on a needful widow or orphan.


Some people's version of Christianity continues to amaze me. Build it up to the height of Kilimanjaro, it love and compassion isn't the fabric of an institution, everything done is pure activity. We know Christian leaders we celebrate, we k ow the ones we just that k God for and just walk away


I partook in several PTA meetings in ehalf of some children under my care and made my comments known. The hard till and sharp decline saw most parents unable to pay their kids school fees. I personally did all I could, pushed and pressed buttons so they listened to me and subsidised payments or established a regulated payment structure where parents Coul split school fees in 1000 Naira instalments. I was shocked at the attitude towards my suggestion.



As we speak atleast 4 out of 10 students that attend some people's school dropped out to publish schools. Traumatic I sing the kids cause they had to walk by enough their public schools. Yet some people keep gathering, building edifices to impress when there's issues within to handle better internally. This is one, Issue of pension and the likes is another.


What a mess. I know Christian leaders I celebrate. I know the ones I just that k God for.


No beef. We must have convictions, beliefs and perspectives. For confirmation of my claim check up on the school goers records in the past five years 4 to 10 dropped on account of no splitted tuition and no subsidised payments.

Is it surprising that all of you have one thing in common?!
We don't think so!

Patrioticman007:
Our concern is that these people are lying against teachings of Jesus son of Mary.
These gods of men have changed the true gospel, to materialism & hedonism ( pleasure seeking).

You can't come back for me.


You'll come back for yourself. Not me.


Do you know I can mention names of people who served in active roles in some people's empire, some 5 years, some 10 years, some 20 years with nothing to benefit. And some died under circumstances that they wouldn't have under better spiritual social welfare.



Please. I can tell the history of that place from its very foundation as far back as 2001.


You can't come for me. Let's all continue to rack money and pile it up to heavens and when we can't spend it we throw 9 billion into purchase of shares and when the market crash, we pay stock brokers to hide our identities. We do this rather than attend to people who diligently served with sweat and blood


Do I know people in such service. I can list 20 off head not to even talk of the ones I don't know.



Let's continue. God will judge the true motives of people at the right time.



Nobody can come for me. Thankfully to God Almighty, I'm materially and financially blessed

PatriotExact:
It totally depends on the University in context.

I'm not saying nobody should hype his church Schools. Not at all. Infact, the online hyping have really been helpful in jerking up covenant university stats in many online ranking that deals with positive mentions.

But when the deal becomes real, we know where to find the real universities. You can call Covenant University the best in Africa as much as you want. But when it's time for a World Bank research funding, they surely will not jump ABU, OAU, UI, UNN, and the likes for that "we are the best in the world" university. Keep shouting "we are the best in the world" until your students start crying after their certificate is bounced by a university even in India citing reasons that "they are not a recognized university."

I know universities (private ones) whose system and output are very much higher than the covenant University's. Let me even list them: ABTI, AAUN, Turkish Nile University, etc. But because bthey don't have church members shouting everywhere no one is giving them the rank.

Let's all chill. When we want girlfriends, we go for Cynthia, Melinda, Candace, Jane, etc. But when we want wives, we go for Chioma, Ngozi, Ekaete, Elizabeth, etc.

If you ever see Cynthia in a serious man's house, know that it was a happenstance. If you ever see a covenant university graduate working in a multinational, then know that his papa get Yello leg. But for every private university graduate you see working in a multinational, there are more than a thousand of his peers from public institutions who are there.

OyinO:
Jesus is coming soooooOOOooon!!! And you're building wealth empires.
And Jesus said, it is more easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.
How come they are running after wealth and riches? I thought this world is not their home? Why are they investing on long term capital projects and business ventures in this world?
Nonsense an ingredient.

HigherEd:
Education is an investment that can not perish. Nigeria needs a private sector driven educational sector that can develop well rounded individuals especially as the public sector is burdened with economic problems. Therefore unlike Venezuela, if govt revenues crashes out for a decade we still have top rate schools that would survive and ensure our social service fate isn't intertwined with aso rock.

With schools like Faith academy, Ambassador college, Chokmah springing up in several places with sustainable business models, the nation is on her way out of misery.

Stop thinking like an Almajiri, division of wealth isn't sustainable where poverty abounds. Where poor people outnumber middle income people on 7:3, what you need isn't to share the little that is available but for those who know how to multiply it to do so. When Jesus got the loaves and fishes, he multiplied it before it was worth sharing. If Jesus gives you a seed, would you plant it or give it away? Think about your answer. The scripture talks about the talent and how Jesus values multiplication of seed. In this case, the seed of money to educate a people in a sustainable manner.

Now, we need to create more platforms that create wealth into the future. Which is better? give a widow money for bread or give her employment and dignity of labor? This school would employ out of the tons of people who studied education and create decent income for their families. It would keep money in our economy, increase our gdp per education and plant the seed of quality education in our children.

Nonexistent:
When the church makes an investment, it becomes Oyedepo's and he chops the proceeds with his family alone but when you pay your tithe, you are told that you're paying to the Lord. Who exactly is the Lord here?

Oga covenant university are doing well
There graduates are doing well
This Nigerian start-up
That was bought by one American company for $200million last year where owned by covenant university graduates


Bishop oyedepo teaches his students to think outside the box
To create employment
Or improve where they are
While most Nigerian local universities
Don't teach there students to think outside the box
In fact many come out of Nigerian universities
Totally incapacitated
Look around Nigeria
Look at the quality of her economy
That's the result of a poorly articulated university education


Why are the rich and middle class sending there children to foreign universities or local private universities?

Because the ones run by government
Are in total chaos

DelTel:
You are definitely an insider .

Oktane:
I beg to differ here. I may not be a fan of Oyedepo or indeed any Religious leader but we should pay compliments where necessary. This man has contributed to the redefinition of tertiary education in Nigeria.

You may have your reservations about his person, his policies (by the way, I totally abhor his discipline style for Covenant university)but this should not detract from the issue in question here. Covenant has provided top class education for many Nigerians and thus enriched the quality of graduands in the labour market.

They have created an unrivalled research fund and deploy it objectively. They have top notch Academic staff earning the same salaries as their counterparts in public universities. The entire university environment/setting is reminiscent of a typical academic environment.

Regarded the bolded above, Oyedepo owes the retirees nothing in so far as he was paying them salaries as agreed when the staff were hired. If there was a promise of retirement benefits and he reneged please bring it up officially and I am sure he will rise to the occasion.

Again, I am not holding brief for Oyedepo, but would rather adopt an objective stance on the matter.

keep on hating and spewing out trash, y the man is progressing, u never talk about ur useless politician that has been stealing money without doing anything for u, but u go carry church matter for ur head, how many people u know that is under scholarship or tons of people that this mans ministry is helping, people will not mind their business but keeps poke nosing on what doesnt concern them and mind u, u knew nothing about living faith ok, and since u are financialy ok, how many people have u help?

if you like cry from now till tomorrow, your opinion is not needed,your opinion is as good as trash, You can make your own money and do whatever you like with it, see ur aboki head

CodeTemplar:
Jonathan built many terrorist almajiri schools and twelve glorified secondary schools with tax forcefully and unconditionally obtained but we didn't hear all these stupid noise about how to do it better. Go back to the shrine you crawled out from and tell baba to consult his familiar spirits about "wen e go beta for nigeriya".

Your reply shows exactly why Christians are being mocked for being unintelligent. Sigh

HigherEd:
I don't even know what you are talking about o. If you have an accusation against anybody feel free to approach the press. Don't burden me with story wey no concern me.

All I know is, no one is perfect. And no one can meet another's need 100%.

Lastly since you have money as you claimed, go and build your own and make it free now. Show your free school as a rebuke to Living Faith.

Define doing well.

Do you know one of those Graduates guys that sold paystack now goes around dressed like a woman.. with painted lips, nails and women clothes..

“For what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul”

Seems the new definition of "doing well" in christianity is to have a lot of money and structures..

Read your bibles yourself, pray, worship, and do not Quench the Spirit. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, dont allow these Men of god to be your intercessors.. we are all temples of the most High God...

RedPanthar:
That's the point we should pay attention to, since when did Christianity reduce to having the most elaborate structures at the expense of the Spirit and Soul. Buildings are nice fine, but shall we continue to neglect needs in the saying, we have projects, we have projects and then the devil is tearing up the souls of people?
