kennygee: I am a Christian and a born again one at that. There is no where in the bible that the church was a money making venture. Was Oyedepo's education expensive? Most of the men of their generation enjoyed scholarships self. To me, the church should give out, instead of competing with the world. A Church university that cannot be accessed by more than half its congregation has lost it.If you are a bornagain, it is evident that you are a babe. Is it for you to judge? The fact that he is a pastor means the church should go into dept because he wants to help 'poor church members'? Besides, the cost, stress and risk of running these Universities are not cheap. Convenant University has one of the best facilities in respect to other Nigerian Private University (even though it is'nt the most expensive). You expect that to be free! Ah c'mon, they did'nt achieve that free of charge. But, wait a minute. If a Christian is poor, what do you think he needs? Money or God's Word (Acts 20:32). Stop being carnally minded!! 2 Likes |

Yomieluv: Oga oyedepo,education is expensive though,that doesn't give you the impetus to charge exorbitant fee beyond the reach of the common man in your church.. Dude! Why don't u go make some money and send your kids to the best schools. Why is it your business to worry about the common man? Covenant University isn't for common men. The richest countries in the world also have common men, just make sure u ain't a common man. Strive to be uncommon and watch the common men whine and complain. The common man never changes anything...just pawns to be used in the game of life. NL so full of common men thinking common thoughts and making do with whatever life throws at them. I hate to be common, that's why I am uncommon in every way. You too can chose to be uncommon, just hope it ain't too late going by the sound of u. 1 Like 2 Shares |

A Church university that cannot be accessed by more than half its congregation has lost it. In other words...you expect Oyedepo to run his university for free, you expect the staff to work for salaries less than N10000 monthly, and you expect that funding for research would come from the air so to speak. Sadly, a university is an expensive undertaking. 1 Like |

Another misplaced priority -"Most of the church members can not afford the fees" - why cry more than the bereaved? I am of the opinion that people should channel their energies to making govt responsible to bring about good quality education in our public schools. Am yet to see any of the names here among those who stood against the hike in tuition fees of LASU then. If we make govt responsible, maybe churches might not need to come to the rescue. 1 Like |

If public universities are well funded, who will bother attending private universities? Can any private university in the country match the infrastructure at OAU, UNN, UI or ABU before the decay? All the lecturers at the various private universities today are more or less products of these aforementioned public universities. sarutobie: 2 Likes |

Dhotseal: oh shut it with your bloody diatribe already. Sounds like the sort of manure that you are being sold in your schools - to justify the extortion and fleecing. Face it you are no Stephen Hawkings, Che Guevara, Steve Jobs or Micheal Faraday. Chances are, you are just one of the millions of people that leave school for a paid employment. You will never change your world. You will get married, have kids and die in your old age, just like every other person! Nothing makes you special. YOU ARE A COMMON MAN! 2 Likes |

Ignyte: While her comment was a bit too lavish...the fact remains that Oyedepo cannot afford to reduce fees unless the Govt takes over Covenant University and subsidizes the fees. I sympathize with the poor students...but sadly things like labs, classrooms, staff salaries, and so on have to be paid for, and in the absence of govt funding, or pockets as deep as an oil sheikh.... 2 Likes |

Yomieluv: no society can exist without the common man,any society that doesn't take them to consideration is heading for doom.Let me rephrase that for you: Any society that tries to only move at the pace of the "common-man" is heading for doom. Nobody has suggested that the common man should not be taken into consideration. After all, federal universities still typically cost much less than N50,000, and there's good reason to believe that they are still of higher quality than Covenant. Don't you get it? You don't have to attend Covenant (or other expensive private universities). There are cheaper alternatives that are even better in many respects. The gospel that you guys are preaching (that if as a collective, we do better than the our least common denominator - your common-men" - we've somehow done wrong) will bring this country to ruin. Just as there should be low-cost versions of everything, there should also be excellence-at-all-cost versions. Think of Covenant as an excellence-at-all-cost approach to university management. And feel free to encourage your religious (or social) organization to float one for the common man. It's a free world and all that. 2 Likes |

The question that Bishop needs to answer is how many students have they awarded scholarships and to what value in naira. Again must the university be profit oriented organization or non-profit oriented organization. I thought that the university must be a social enterprise and not a capital enterprise. So where are the profit largesse going into? We must remember that the missionaries that came to our country years back from other countries. Many people benefited from their free education delivery. They ever complained about the cost of providing education to people. Please journalists go and ask Papa this questions. 1 Like |

Celepope: Many Nigerians just like condemning anything church perhaps it is based on poverty.You guys should cut them some slack.I am not taking side with this man but he is not far from the truth.Most private University even in the US owned by churches are also expensive.A good example is Oral Roberts University.I have not come across where the owners of the religious Universities forced anyone to attend their school.It is by choice.Some will soon start complaining that his members can't attend his school.Funny enough many of them are not complaining so why are you guys bothered?If you think you have the money then your can send your kids there but if not you can sure look else where i.e Adekunle Ajasin University and other.Anyways even the useless state Universities in Nigeria are getting expensive daily without any meaningful infrastructure and wack administration so you guys should ponder on the difference between both. You spoke well bro do you low that today, Oral Robert university is now owned and run med by the government, because they could not fund the university and the reasons in not far fetched, dey were giving more freebies and providing quality education at the same time, so therefore they had issues funding the university 3 times, they did a public funding to reclaim the university from govt... so what are we saying.... if covenant becomes 200k, and provides poor service is u pple that will talk and condemn the school, or if the schools folds up, u will talk you can't eat your cake and nd have it back! not possible |

That is to give credence to the fact that these are not churches but businesses. When these guys were growing their businesses, it was the very poor men who carried the blocks that built the foundation of these churches in the name of God. Now that these businesses have grown, the owners' ego has been inflated by money such that their congregation forgot to ask whats in it for me. By the way, do these pastors pay tithes and if so to whom?How many poor people's kid do they sponsor to their schools every year? How much is the value of their scholarships? Finally when they die, who takes over the reins of the businesses? " If so are the priests, God Bless the congregation". A middle Eastern saying goes. 1 Like |

the reason this argument exists is cos most Nigerians claim to worship God but instead worship their pastors. imagine someone called bishop Oyedepo a demi-god. as for me, I dont care if he's fake or real as far as his message is real. if he likes he should create a business enterprise, all I need is his message which God inspired. God can still use a fake pastor to win a soul to His kingdom 3 Likes |

sarutobie: Moses, John the baptist, Hezekiah, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha etc... All greater prophets than oyedepo. Please name one who used church money to fund his own side business. When you claimed the "Lord called you" did He not tell you the job description(to spread his word) ? Stop justifying rubbish. Even the 12 disciples with all the power of the Holy Ghost couldve just conjured up billions and gone home but they chose to sacrifice earthly greed for the work of God. Its blind congregation like you who worship the pastor instead of God. You keep saying "bla bla for free" like its the pastors money that bought the cement for the buildings or pays the lecturers. Every week politicians and the common man alike pay offering and tithe.. Where does the money go? Its pastors like this that discredit Christianity. |
