The church and the school are different entities. Tithes aren't used to run schools. You pay your tithe into the church. Plus you do that because you want to. If anybody doesn't want to pay tithe into a church because he feels that the pastor is succeeding in his personal business, he should not. Members are never forced to pay tithes my dear (except that is the case in Winners chapel sha o. I don't really know about how their church service is run).
And please I really need to say one more thing. A university establishment is a business. It isn't affiliated with a church. Just because a man is a pastor doesn't mean he cannot own a business. Cut this man some slack and go to the public tertiary institutions. I went to one anyway; mediocrity at its finest!

Living in a free world ? Hmmm , u really sound like someone that has worked out his ass to be in England, as u claim , and think a simple discussion like has to make you to shout out and emphasized about you current location. Dude Grow up. Empty Gongs makes the Loudest Noise about their Location.

This is simple, you claim not to be ignorant and know so much , but yet in another Man's Country, when another Man is creating Oppoutunity to for Quality Enducation in Nigeria.

Why are u Bitter about a man's Business. You always make. Refrence to Non Profit Organization, what stops you from seting up one to build a University in Nigeria to run it for free, since you know so much.


Free World, I guess everything is free in England. SMH.

From your Posts on Nairaland , is very obvious you are a Hustler in a England as you claim, selling everyting Sellable.

So Definately you won't Understand what it Means to Build a University and Promote quality Education.
You dont seem to get the Gist do you?, talking about making noise, U r so damn disconnected from reality to the tune of it being a crime.I live between the UK and Nigeria PHC,my wife and family are all in Port harcourt, so to talk about me not knowing what is going on in Nigeria is being insane, I am in Port Harcourt every other four months due to the Nature of work and Biz I do plus I understand waht it takes to do Biz in 9ja as have Businesses in Port harcourt that Employs and pay at least 25 people,I have been since 1999 when you probably still in secondary school.Fine I agree with you on this one since you said I should leave him and his Business great, we are at same Level** Business right*?And Im glad you saw that I sell everything smellable and you also know I DO NOT SELL SHOES AND GIVE OUT BBM PIN for relationship COntact on here, that's what I seem to do these this days, at least its legit.Hustler ahah, Im Delta frm warri we are Born Hustlers lol why would I leave Nigeria 1999 at that age if it wearnt 4 hustle?thats the diff between me n my mates and I aint 40 yet.

Is it by force for someone earning 100k to send his child to Private University? The problem with people like you is you feel Every University is for Everyone, Cut your Coat according to your Cloth.

I wonder why people like you will be complaining about what private University are paying as fees when people paying the Fees are not.

If Covenant University did not exist won't people still go to University?

One million as school fees comes from your pocket alone and not from other contributions sir! Is it easy to save 500k a year in this country? Take a look below

1. You spend money on fuel for your generator - No public power supply
2. You spend money on providing your household with potable drinking water
3. You spend money on filtering/treatment of borehole water
4. You spend money on maintaining the borehole ...yes the salty water affects the piping due to its salty nature
5. You pay your security guard monthly
6. You pay for neighborhood security
7. You fuel your car (black market or normal)
8. You spend money for household needs
9. You pay tithes in church + other church program tinz
10. You pay tax

I could go on and on not easy sir!


WELL, WHOEVER WRTE THE ABOVE SHOULD ALSO KNOW THE PRIVATE UNIVERSITY ALSO PAY ALMOST ALL THIS COST IN ADDITION TO SALARIES AND FACILITIES, ALL WITHING THE SCHOOL FEES PARENTS PAY FOR THEIR WARDS TOO ...... SO HOW MUCH SHOULD THE TUITION FEE BE?[quote]

It seems that you do not understand there is no demarcation between the Church and personal business in Nigeria. Church money in Nigeria does not belong to the Church but to the pastors, hence the emphasis on prosperity gospel, offerings, paying tithes etc. These pastors were the ones Jesus referred to when he said "You have made my father's house a den of thieves". Oyedepo is one of those that have really excelled into making his church a robber's den.

By the way no need calling yourself mediocre for attending a public tertiary institution. We all know they are nothing to write home about.

bigtt76: My stand here is clear
1. Bishop should not make it look as if everyone has the money to attend a private university but choose not to and rather spend on frivolities.

2. All church and private Universities and unaffordable to the poor should be made affordable. Some students cannot afford 150k as school fees. Such students should be identified and assisted.

3. People should realize that the poor who make up the majority remains a risk to the rich few if not adequately taken care of. Boko Haram members are not kids born with silver spoon ...they were recruited out of poverty.

Exactly my point as well, the church should be seen as role model not used as a mechanism to extract monies from already Economically hardened people.Some churches do good to elevate the plights of others but not enough

Civil servants and those who cant afford it should make do with other private or public Universities. Is COVENANT UNIVERSITY a must for every one.
Never seen where people who cant afford a service insist that services should be made free. Covenant University should be no exemption.

Kindly read what you typed to see how wrong you are by contradicting yourself. First, you are simply interested in tongue lashing men of God. Secondly, "Priority" and Governmental Failure are our major undoings in Nigeria. Thirdly, all private school owners should always give kudos to Babangida's regime because that was when we lost the standard in our education and give way to continuous establishment of private schools to naturally fill the lapses. Also remember that in those days public schools set the standards for others to follow, you must be a public school dropout before the thought of other alternative (private school) comes to your mind our school days. I also attended public schools all through but not really impressed. Let us begin to hold our politicians and elective officers accountable for the abject neglect and decay in our education sector and not men of God. Let us go back to REALITY. My thought.

Hey kmcutez, there is a demarcation. If you say church money belongs to pastors, I may partly agree because the full time pastors are being paid. In short sef, the church offerings and co are used to run anything that concerns the church. How else would people expect them to be utilized? Burnt and given to God as a burnt offering?

Actually nobody is demanding that it should be made free. What people want is a reduction in fee which I think is outrageous as education is expensive in this age. I totally agree wit you as per people going Fø̲̣̣я̅ whatever they can afford. It's as simple as that really.

Nope, the church money is not being used in running the church. It is being used in buying private jets, setting up private universities for personal enrichment, building mansions for the pastors, buying the latest rides, paying the sisters in the lord for sex and so forth. The pastors take the little the poor have and add to their riches. Most Nigerian pastors are sociopaths and psychopaths.
