Being a nun or priest is a calling. You also cannot force people to volunteer their time willingly.

In fact let's not go too far, would you volunteer your time free or charge or either just a stipend paid monthly for your services in a missionary school?

I never contributed 1 kobo to this Cause and no one bothered me to pay anything, even if you don't pay ur tithe and offering, no one will disturb you.

Statsocial:

Guy you are wise. We need ppl like you in Nigeria. You are very Objective!

emmasege:
You are absolutely wrong. There's no free quality education anywhere in the world. Someone or some people are paying for it. If only you knew the running cost of standard universities in Nigeria, you would understand that no church no matter how rich they are, is buoyant enough to provide quality university education in Nigeria at no or low tuition fees. The best they can do is to come up with scholarship schemes for their own members or individuals they adopted through mission works. And I think Pastor Kumuyi would be thinking along this line.

Homebaked:

Great! It is clear that quality education comes at great costs and fees cannot be any lower than it is. The question I keep asking is that must churches establish universities? They will continue to attract bad press for the singular reason that majority of their members will never benefit from the institution they helped to build. If all these efforts and money are geared towards building hospitals and clinics instead of schools, we won't be having this conversation. But no, that is bad market for miracle peddling, which is a necessary ingredient for filling the pews in the first place.

I honestly do not know the reason for the establishment of a university by a church. A church as it was during the time of "Christianity" was about being with the family of God where you sell your possessions so other members could benefit. It was about charity.
This is not the case of today's church. You open a university that only the rich can attend. Not that it's a missionary school (this shouldn't even come with a fee) but it's a school that teaches secular philosophy. They teach you science that suggest that the world was formed by accident then they teach you again that it was created. They teach you Law in order words how to lie.
How does starting a university contribute to the body of Christ. "Blessed are the poor for.........." Yet the church owned University has warmly welcomed just the rich. Some of you say to run a school is expensive?? Yes it is. But what are the expenses?? Besides the large buildings and the gluttonous amount paid to professors and other lecturers. Must the lecturers be paid that huge sum? Has paying tithes and offering become the only service one can render to God? What about what the old Christians practiced such as visiting the sick, etc. Sometimes I wonder if the beast prophesied in the Bible has not already planted it's seed in the church we Christians hold so dear. All you go to church to hear is "Blessing, financial breakthrough, my year of change, moving to the next level" and other schemes and philosophy that have been plagiarized from atheist authors like Bill gates.
In summary, from one angle should the church play a role in contributing to the philosophy(science) that has battled religion since it was formed?
Should the church contribute to economic schemes that make the poor poorer nd the rich richer?
Should church play a role in building a system where only the tough survive?
Should the church have any business with the "world" ?
The money spent on material items by GOs and church buildings could have been used to build the body of Christ (winning souls). I see a lot of Christians but where are the followers of Christ?

Assuming the church built this school with her money,it will be better. But members were tasked, asked to sow seed, paid tithe, fasted, gave all they have, and was promised blessing. Only to discover that none of their ward can afford going to the school. It's a pity that the church today is not the same church the missionaries brought to us.

Another thread looking to condemn private christian universities.

1. Quality education is not cheap anywhere in the world. Check Harvard, Princeton and similar universities.
2. I believe that the church would have a scholarship scheme for bright students who are members and non-members of the church.
3. Remember, this is a second private university in Lagos.

We can only give them say a ten period before we judge.
