In the presence of Buhari he trembles

In the presence of the people he mortgaged their future, he feels like a celebrity

That's only in kwara which is his personal estate. He should visit Lagos to know what's up.

Churches are not the problem but are part of the problems. Let me give u a few instances some churches contribute to the problems of Nigeria:
1. Some churches no longer preach hard work, love for others, mutual respect, piety, fear of God etc but miracles, prosperity,and emphasis on tithing and other monetary contributions etc.
2. Some churches do not allow their poor and unemployed members to look for work, rather, they organise various programmes to keep them perpetually in the church day and night and 7 days a week. You see churches organizing programmes on Monday morning, vigil every night etc.
3. Churches do not question the sources of money contributed by the members. This is why a civil servant could pay N600m in tithe to a church and everyone kept quiet.

However, these problems are not limited to churches as Islamic organisations also indulge in those acts. My point is that churches ought to serve as the bacon of moral standards in the society.

Fayose cry me a river....you did same in 2014 when PDP used police to helped you win

Just yesterday, he ordered the commercial motorists and motorcycle riders off the roads to frustrate the A PC rally that was planned for yesterday. Now they are showing him that power pass power and he is wailing.
He can never gain the sympathy of any serious minded person.

Nukualofa:
You can continue to laugh but ask yourself again, Do I want to be on 30k for the next four years again or should I vote in Atiku the man with pragmatic and business approach to governance that can bring back foreign investors and revive our dying economy where companies can employ you and you will be earning more than 150k a month

Stop this online campaign. Everyone is entitled to his opinion and responsible for his choices. If you have collected money for campaign, go create your own platform where only your opinion and those who buy your idea counts.

The same CAN President that jetted out of the country the moment the death of its general secretary was announced. Let me reserve my comment for now.
They keep behaving childishly these days.They cried against the sukuk bond that Nigeria took despite its obvious advantages and the fact that countries such as Germany had taken it and it has helped them expand their infrastructure.

HigherEd:
I may need to school you again on what a profit making university is. Harvard with $25 billion endowment and 15 million naira/annum tuition is not a profit making university. Neither is Stanford nor Yale. That a university is collecting 10 million naira a year doesn't make it profit making. When we say a university is non profit. It simply means that the founders have elected to reinvest all revenue into the system.
The only faith based university in Nigeria that i am aware of being a profit making university is Alhikmah university which is Islamic.


Which yeye loophole. That is why you have a government you voted for. Even the Isrealites who had a thin line between Religion/State didn't expect nonsense from the synagogue. The church can't veer into full blown political governance and leave matters of spirituality relegate to the background. The essense of the church is to feed the spirit and soul not the belly. The church can give you food but does not have to give you a job.


Lol don't talk about an issue you know nothing of. NUC license more universities because there is shortage of universities. Nearly a million Nigerian youths are denied spaces every year in unis due to unavailable spaces.




What are you saying lol. The Adventist church has over 100 universities splashed across USA and Europe. There is no organisation in the world that owns half as much universities as the catholics. According to Professor Okebukola the catholic church has about 3,000 universities splattered across the globe. The Church of Christ owns/affilited to hundreds of universities in North America. The baptist church owns about 70 universities in the US. Combine all the government universities in the US they don't have 1/10th of universities belonging to churches. And amazingly govt partly funds the church universities there too and they are still not free.

Stop this balderdash. So Alhikma university is the only faith-based university that is profit oriented just because it is Islamic? How lame? Arguing with people like you is a waste of time. Publish the tuition charged by Alhikma university and those of Church owned universities here for comparison and see your hypocrisy.

HigherEd:
You ask why churches build universities? That I'm sorry to say is very funny. The churches build universities to be able to pass the Christian ordinance into a youthful population. Having the opportunity to teach students the ways of God under the platform of secular education is too great an opportunity to pass by. To correct ills of the society by taking folks at their formative stage and serving as an incubation for their developments into morally equipped individuals with reverence and knowledge of God.

Now churches have been building universities even before the person who named Nigeria was born and even preceded the US government and European nations to establish them. The Harvard's, Yale, Notre dame, yonsei would never have existed without the church.



As per industry the church has no mandate in it. Why should the church build industries? To create wealth - it is not the role of the church to create wealth, To provide jobs - It is not the role of the church to provide jobs. Unlike Universities, industries don't serve any relevance to the mandate of the church or her gospel. Let Kings remain kings and priest remain priest.

The church continues to have a mandate in creating schools(especially primary and secondary), Orphanages, Rehabs and Hospitals. Skill acquisitions for members is ok, building income generating companies is taking it too far.



No church university in Nigeria today is for profit making. The most expensive one, Babcock is subsidized by 2% of her total budget by the adventist church. Apostolic church gives Crawford 350 million subsidy every year, CU gets above 2 billion grants from winners every year. Landmark has gotten 6 billion in the past few years(I can go on!)



Are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Yonsei, Notre dame affordable to the poor? Shouldn't they have been created(by the church) because the poor couldn't afford them? Do you even know the purpose of creating universities. You think it is to share admission for people. Do you know the poor too would benefit most when the universities turn out great research, discoveries and product for the benefit of society?


Mockery? You sir are beginning to spout nonsense. The church universities which have run uninterrupted academic calendars, housed students like actual human beings, provided amenities the govt can't provide are suddenly the ones who are making a mockery of education. To take it further you are quite confused also. You just accused the church of profit mongering after slandering them for not investing in industries which are huge money spinners. It is safe to assume you would end up accusing the church of anything your imagination can create if they actually go into building industries. I know your type sir you would also accuse the church of building car industries with money of the poor while the poor can't afford it. Abi what are we supposed to do when we build cars that the poor can't afford. We should share the cars for free abi. After all with una thinking the church receives tithe and should be able to share free cars it produces

All these are mere excuses for exorbitant fees charged by the universities.
If they were set up to teach Christian doctrines, are the doctrines for only the children of the rich?
If it is not the role of the Church to create wealth, provide jobs etc, where do they expect the graduates churned out yearly to get employment after paying such outrageous fees for 4-5 years?
Tell us why the Catholic church, Anglican church, Methodists church etc that brought education did not charge such fees back then and limited enrollment to the children of the rich?
Nothing anyone can say to defend the gluttonous proprietors of such institutions can eliminate the fact that they are only out to MAKE MONEY!

Imagine this kind of mentality.

No wonder that the number of criminals in Lagos are increasing when you chase people away from their means of earning a living without providing alternatives

Believe me it's true. I live in Ijebu-Ode and I know a friend who knows the dude and has seen him bark at a popular bar in the city.

This is why government owned institutions may never match their private counterparts in infrastructural maintenance. N2,500 is not up to phcn bill for a single room apartment not to talk of water rates and other utilities.The same dudes paying this paltry sum spend up to 10k @ club on Friday nights and will carry placards to protest if electricity fails for 10 hours in their hostels.

The same mistake Frank Mba made when he was CP of Rivers State under Rotimi Amaechi forgetting that the government in power will not be there forever.

These expired old guys should just shut up.They should speak for themselves and not the Yorubas. They have failed woefully as leaders of thought.

MrHistorian:
I don't get!!

NURTW is an organizational pressure group and as such has direct legal backing from the constitution!

What is sensibly expected of Lagos state government is the arrest and prosecution of the offenders!!!

This act of impunity must stop.

Can FG disband NBA!??

What rubbish!!!

So the government should have left them to continue to breach the peace in the state and continue to put the lives of other citizen at risk because they are a pressure group. Are they the only pressure group in Nigeria. When did u see NBA go about with cutlasses and guns because they want to change their leadership. Don't come here and tell us thrash because of your affinity to the nuisance of an organization.

There is no laid down rule on appreciation.

The important thing there is putting a smile on someone's face nd doing wat ur spirit tells u to do.

You are right that there is no hard and fast rule as to how to appreciate God, but feeding an overfed fellow and leaving out an hungry neighbor is not only ungodly but also not biblical.

sinaj:
This one wants to use his mouth to destroy his career.

He didnt think about the multiple times their silly mistakes made patients loose their lives. Even Doctors that are old in the proffession acknowledge God.

Appreciating God is one thing, taking your gift to a pastor is another thing.They are not and can never be same. You can appreciate God by paying medical bills of people who can not afford it and thereby saving their lives as an appreciation to God for saving your life.

lordmayor2013:
she's of a good character and posses all that I need in a woman, I'm scared if I will ever get someone like her. My only problem with her is this 'every minute break up '

Which good mannered girl breaks up with her man 10x in 2 years?

If the looting machine himself could say this,then Nigeria has been hopelessly raped!

SIMPLYkush:
Freeze is the most stupid guy i have seen recently... i may be known for my stupid comments here on nairaland but the truth here is that this guy is just the true definition of Anti Christ... anybody who believes tithe is what bought those jets, then he/she has the same madness of that OP who said davido's concert generated 500 billion dollars...

Thank God you admitted making stupid comments. Your G.Is should tell us other sources of income they have if the jets did not come from tithes money.

stinggy:
Freeze, you've made sense thus far, but on this, no matter how we put it, Copyright theft and similar crimes are very serious offences that should never be allowed in any form it comes

Copyright laws are made to protect intellectual property owners. The word of God is not an intellectual property. People should even be encouraged and commended for sharing it.

bid4rich:
Well, the group may be correct even though I'm not from the Ekiti state neither have I visited the state for once. But the guy said something interesting that "the children schooled here in Nigeria" then I wonder, is it not better than those that fly their children to school abroad. Isn't that commendable?

Just thinking though

That the children schooled in Nigeria in a private school is only different from those that schooled abroad in their geographical spaces and currencies. EKSU lecturers are on strike (thanks to his actions and in-actions)just like other tertiary institutions and his own children are attending private schools where there is no strike.

It is right when a woman gives her entire income as a seed in her church buy wrong when a man tries same.The level of stupidity in some Nigerians is epic.

I wish u d best of luck anyways.

Why must every African word have an English name? Just like somebody pointed out above, pizza is pizza anywhere so is Burger. The white men too should learn to pronounce it the way it is. Moi moi is moi moi not puddings or cake or whatever.

China has since overtaken the US in terms of economic contributions not only in Nigeri

US withdrawal of her economic support to Nations will make them to sit up and look inwards towards self sustenance and also look for more liberal economic partners .
