PastorKun: Why won't parents spend N2 million for their children to learn theology? After all the two churches in question are now mega business empires and their promoters are making billions from the industry. Church business in Nigeria today is one of the fastest growing are the set up cost is low, it is also tax free with loads of easy money to be made, so why won't parents be eager to allow their children study it except for the fact the universities are not offering those courses as the repercussions could be disastrous on them.
How many of the catholic universities in Nigeria runs theology as a course of study ...I mean from caritas or veritas to that shithole in Anambra state called madona?
Patsey: I have noticed that, quite unlike the trend in Western Europe and North America where universities established by Christian missions do have Departments and Schools of Theology & Religious Studies in addition to other academic departments, Nigerian Universities privately founded and funded by some Christian Missions particularly the RCCG (http://www.run.edu.ng/coh_departments.html) and Winners (http://www.covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Colleges and http://landmarkuniversity.edu.ng/colleges) do not have offer Theology and Religious Studies. What stops the proprietors of these churches and universities, i.e. Adejare Adeboye and David Oyedepo from incorporating Theology & Religious Studies programmes into the curricula of these universities. Apart from redundant question like what's the value of a degree in Theology/Yoruba/Igbo, Drama?, what could be reason why these unis fail to offer courses and degrees in Theology and Religious Studies. Isn't this a paradox?
PastorKun: This is becos rccg and winners chapel are strictly business conglomerates using the name of God to make profit. That aside they both preach a false version of the gospel, training their students in theology would open their eyes and expose the hypocrisy, contradiction and outright lies being taught in these churches and this would be bad for business hence they shy away from teaching theology.
What is theology. Mention one of the false doctrine of the churches you stated
PastorKun: ^^^ You still don't get it do you? No one as stated that people go to any of these schools to study to become pastors (after all rccg and winners chapel pastors don't even study theology and are very poorly trained) what the original poster expects is that it is only reasonable for church owned universities to offer courses in theology becos of their religious background. And you don't have to become a pastor after studying theology after all obasanjo studied theology after leaving power and he is not a pastor today.
Theology is useless to Christianity ...It supports religion. How many years did Peter train to become an apostle ...Mention one of the apostles that got trained in theology?
So that gun is what they have in the armoury and the army is making an announcement like they just got a bin laden
zoba88: According to a report by Ekemini Simon,the gallant troops of 2 Brigade Nigerian Army have in the early hours of today, Tuesday 16 January 2018 recorded another success in their bid to restore peace to the terrorized axis of Ukanafun and Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of the state by killing two gang members of the notorious killer, Akaninyene Uko alias Isoakpaefid who was killed yesterday.
According to a release signed by the Assistant Director Public Relations 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Uyo, Major Umar Shuaib, and made available to this reporter, after the first operation which led to the killing of Isoakpaefid, the Brigade troops following another tipoff invaded the hideout of the remaining gang members at Ikpe village in Etim Ekpo Local government area on Tuesday 16 January 2018 and engaged the hoodlums at 1:30am.

Their corpses have been deposited at University of Uyo Teaching Hospital mortuary. It could be recalled that the troops on Monday had killed the ring leader Akaninyene Uko.
Mo sense in this story. He denied wanting to arrest Kyari but won't disclose to the C-in-C if there was any investigation of his Chief of staff ...Did Magu make himself the Efcc boss or somebody appointed him to that office?
The grounds of that villa is covered by immunity and besides , those soldiers from the brigade of guards won't even allow that happens within that precinct unless the order comes from the commander of the brigade.
freeze001: Instead of OUK to simply condemn the attacks, commiserate with affected persons and face Igbo land with its many problems, he is involving himself in fulani herdsmen rhetoric. Who send am?
He has been doing everything under the sun to break into Buhari inner caucus and so far has not succeeded ..... From senseless defense statements to a shabby rally that Buhari was expected to attend
PHILipu1: . You should be ashame of yourself not to know that a minister is not on the same level with a senator Mr man.
Many senators will leave that chamber to be ministers and control a whole federal ministery and be only under the president than to just be over seeing 1/3 of your state and be under a state governor.
Go and do your research and stop fooling yourself online.
I read a story of a man who in cohort with a sitting president , confiscated copies of the Gideon Bible sent to Nigeria by the organisation and dumped same in the Atlantic ocean.
Years later some of his estates are now churches premises ...Wealth transfer
Pray all christians in Nigeria that whosever is backing the murderous herdsmen, financially and morally would have his wealth transferred to those who would it for the sake of the gospel.
CharlieMaria: I am and will remain a Catholic forever.......If and only if you will understand why you need to be a catholic.. ...God bless and enlighten you.
State the reasons ...You never know who might be persuaded
nextstep: Isn't that how we get buildings all over Lagos or Abuja that get razed once in a while? Somebody give permission, money is exchanged, yet gov't can raze a building that's been there for over 10 years.
But the one under discussion is in China not a lawless state like Nigeria
Just see how they proved somebody here right ...I was going through comment in a post concerning him and somebody stated that his eyes portrayed him as a dullard and now it has been confirmed ...Failed twice and now head
CollinsWeGlobe: Nigerians Reacts To Ahmed Abubakar Appointment As The New NIA DG - Says Jackson Ude
Just 3 days ago President Buhari appointed Ahmed Abubakar as the substantive Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).
According to the statement.
Abubakar, was before his appointment as the new NIA DG, the Senior Special Assistant to the President (SSAP) on Foreign Affairs/International Relations. Abubakar holds a B.A degree in French Language and Literature, and an M.A degree in Francophone Maghrebian Literature, both from Bayero University, Kano.
Nigerians on twitter has reacts to the appointment, after a twitter user Jackson tweets.
He tweeted: "The new NIA DG recently appointed by Buhari has dual citizenship. He was born in Chad, holds a Chadian and Nigerian citizenship. His wife is Moroccan. He twice failed NIA promotion exams. Retired in 2013 to avoid dismissal. His dossier is filled with incompetences!"
The fact that you don't know who is low between a senator and a minister makes it impossible to engage you ...Was he not around to do his magic during his party's loss to apga in the last governorship election?
PHILipu1: LOL. You are the one wrong here. Ngige started losing because he was contesting against master of rigging (PDP) candidates.
We all know how PDP do use the army,police,dss,inec,nysc etc to rig out opposition candidates in so many elections.
But the game has change now and PDP no longer control this agencies and our elections are becoming more free and fair and i can tell you that if Ngige that his party now control Aso rock really want to contest any election in Anambra that he will win or perform very well.
Before this election,Ngige told INEC that he was not contesting but INEC turn down his suggestion of a fresh primary for APC and you don't expect Ngige to resign as minister to then go low to be senator.
Watch out and see 2019 presidential results in Anambra. I will quote you then.
If APC fields Buhari, the outcome will be worse than in Tony's case ..take this comment and save it ...The party is not popular in the east primarily because of Buhari not tinubu or Saraki.
PHILipu1: . APC are not out to win all this south-east states outrightly but they will be ok to make sure they share the votes or just get 25% from this states and APC wouldn't allow the votes to be one sided for PDP like in 2015. It is not all about winning the state with figures,it's about making in road in your opposition area.
The just concluded governorship election should tell you how it will look like come 2019. And don't tell me that everybody that voted APGA in that governorship election will vote PDP come 2019.
Unseen: I wanted to refer you to Ngige-Akunyili election under Peter Obi governance but I noticed you're not in Anambra nor Igbo.
So I say..... There are so many things about the Igbos you will never understand.
In 2015, Igbos supported PDP and everyone said they put their eggs in one basket. Is it in 2019 after the massive failure of Buhari and the massacre of armless IPOB that Igbos will start supporting APC?
Let me use an illustration to make something clear to you. If God himself should contest under APC, he will lose in Anambra
If you remove your last sentence I ho give you a like. ... There is no human being living or dead that would stand election under that party platform and win a rig free election in Anambra state ..It is my state and right now, it is not about personality but party for the average Igbo man
It would have been foolish for him to say otherwise after he lost his local government area...Just his own local government he could not deliver.....In the guber election.
tinkinjow: ....for illegally occupying a farmland and disturbing traffic flow....
That's what a sane and responsible govt does. Now the ownward christian soldiers on Nigeria who lack the very basic of human values will descend here to condemn China. Kudos to effective governance. In Nigeria here when churches block the road and you condemn they'll ask whether you didn't know they're having a program. Their loudspeakers disturb the neighbourhoods and you speak out and they say ooooh that's the antichrist.
That building didn't grow up overnight. And somebody gave the permission for construction to commence including building permit. How come they only just found out it is or was erected on a farm land besides, from the picture , there are still other buildings in that 'farm site'
That was how impunity came into this regime. ... it is so okay if it Halle s to Kanu and his People .today it is Benue and Taraba state
bezimo: I watched it..I think he is a real prophet of God going by the fulfilment of his previous prophecies which came to pass.God will help Nigeria.Too many fake clergies out there.
More startling when i listened to him..is that by devine revelations from above the present Pope Francis is the False prophet talked about in Revelation 13 and he will make the way for the Beast.. whose political capital will be in Germany. They will make everyone come under one religion(No christian, no muslim, no hindu).
Blonchilli: Please help, my younger brother left home since 6pm yesterday and we haven't seen him. His phone is switched off and his friends saw him on a bike on New Road, after Nene fuel station, Sapele, Delta State. He's only 13 and my mother is worried sick. Any valuable information would be necessary. Call any of these numbers 08068041094, 08165026942 and 0816706 7477. Please help
Bluffly: What you need to know is that electrolates think through their stomach and not their head
Then Arthur Eze would have delivered Anambra to APC. Dozzy oil and the rest threw in money to support TONY. We all know the outcome ... result like never before in the history of the state
shumuel: 12 Meme From Nairaland 2017 Get Together Party (The Meat)
The 2017 Nairaland get together party has been a success, with the pictures of the event hitting front page for us to see, but i couldn't but see the meme i could create with some of the pictures.
NOTE : Please this is not in any way a hit nor an attack on anyone, but was just compiled for the fun of it.
Below are the ones i find funny and what i think about them.
danjumakolo: See most mediatek devices(SOC) do not meet the GPL license certification and this is because their components like semi conductor materials used are of low quality.As such, lots of energy dissipation as a result of over heating when playing high graphics games in these types of phones.This result in battery drain during these energy leak.
Thank you. I can relate with your submission because I once bought a techno phone with a little over 4000 mila but it drained too easily so I had to give it up and bought an infinix and that one stayed and has served me but now the battery goes down too quickly and can't carry power bank...Samsung is not an option...it can't survive just morning callS before the battery switch colour to grey and red
