If they are doing anything like that in a meaningful manner, they would be publicising it as they are doing with their pictures of the compound, not so?
Records and details of such good deeds will also be publicly available on their website as is the case with many American and European universities.

The Nigerian system generally doesn't have information available publicly. We are getting there gradually as a nation, as people are developing and trying to catch up with the developed nations
Those nations also have different public information acts enshrined in their laws, making it a legal requirement to do so. I doubt we have such robust acts yet in Nigeria. Secondly, its not all public information that are published. You need to request for some of these information officially, and they will send these reports to you individually on request ( I'm still talking of developed nations o). Abroad, you can easily check marriage registrations of anybody, which you can't here and so many other things like that.

Yes quality education is not cheap! Bt can the church help the less fortunate? Can dey just be alittle selfless like jesus was? Can dey give 50% of their admissions to the less privileged so they can have hope for a better future? Atleast this is a church rite? Not only a business enterprise. God bless u

The simple reason why church schools charge high school fees is because they have to do the following

1.Pay salaries to staff at the same level as they do in govt universities
2.Pay for power, water and other overhead costs.
3.Pay for research
4.And they do all that without allocation from govt
5.And they need money to build more facilities....to attract more students.

Now, we can get church universities to get fees down to N50000 and below. But that means they don't have enough cash to pay their staff good enough salaries, enough cash to pay for new facilities, buy consumables, repair broken stuff, etc.

Infact, if you cut fees, staff including lecturers might have to survive on fees as low as N40000 monthly. And they have families too.

Foursquare church in Nigeria is a branch of a international church whose HQ is in America...but the problem is that most of these big international churches expect their branches to be self funding.

The truth is that quality education is not cheap. Perhaps CAN could create a fund to help indigent students to which every Christian in Nigeria contributes N1000 monthly.

seguno2:

No, because most pastors who own church unis have to pay the staff of the universities wages that are commensurate with what govt university staff get...in the absence of funding from govt...and also have to pay power bills, build new facilities, etc.

And all the funding has to come from the fees.

Yes, some of them pastors are too interested in their empires...but running a university is not cheap.

IMO...fees should be at N20000. But in reality...that is not possible. A lecturer might end up getting salary of N40000 monthly.

Which bible are you reading?

In the book of Matthew in Chapter 2, the kings came to him, and they bought him gold, frankincense and myrrh. He was rich from birth

Jesus had so much money that he needed a treasurer: The New Testament describes Judas as the “treasurer” for Jesus’ disciples. Why would a band of 12 men need a treasurer if they didn’t have some treasures?

Oga chill there Fess, Frankincess n myrrh aren't precious metals or treasure so don't even go there.

Jesus received a one time gold gift as a child, That singular gold which could easily be a small coin doesn't translate to a life time of riches.

Wen Jesus needed a young Donkey to ride on during the triumphant entry Why didn't he buy one from their bag of money

Jesus received gifts over the years, That doesn't mean that he was wealthy with endless riches. People gave him n his disciples gifts, All of them own the money or food or what ever they received.

Jesus didn't have much money or precious metals or wealth because he/his disciples carried everything they owned from one place to another sharing it to everyone around. Jesus didn't own a house, donkeys, Etc and even the gift he receives, He shared with others.

women meeting in villages have a treasurer, Does that mean that they are very wealthy

Jesus always asked for or found ways to feed the people following him n his disciples, today the reverse is the case......Pastors tell the people following them to bring money every single day from January to December ""Non-stop""

Nigga just shut up man, Stop typing rubbish.

Modern day pastors are thieves n nothing more.

They collect billions from their church members to build a school and yet they keep collecting more billions yearly. Why can't they fund all or most of the students in their school from the billions they collect yearly

Many Churches/NGOs around the globe offer free education or subsidized education for students, especially the less privilege.



The whole Christian thing has aggressively turned into a profit making venture. Stop looking away from the truth that u already know.

Majority of those who want their children to go to these universities for free have never paid tithes in their lives. They're not even members of the said church, and when asked why their kids should go there, they say they are at least Nigerians (this is from personal interaction with people)

As I said earlier, no free lunch in free town. Majority of those giving offerings and tithes don't expect their kids to go to these schools for free. Even those giving 500 naira monthly will want their 6 children to go to these universities.
Is it your monthly 500naira that will cover the tuition of your 4 - 6 children.

Why are you insisting on your journey to hell fire with needless lies despite my earlier warning?
Why did you omit NEEDS-based scholarships and grants from your lie lie story?

Scholarships

While the terms grant and scholarship are frequently used interchangeably, there is a difference. Scholarships may have a financial need component but rely on other criteria as well. Some private need-based awards are confusingly called scholarships, and require the results of a FAFSA (the family's EFC). However, scholarships are often merit-based, while grants tend to be need-based.[1]

Scholarships, similar to grants, do not need to be repaid. Scholarships come from state, educational institutions, and private agencies. Scholarships can be awarded based on merit, financial need, student characteristics (such as gender, race, religion, family and medical history, and the like), creativity, career field, college, athletic ability, among other categories.

There are search engines available to find scholarships such as Peterson’s, Unigo, Fastweb, Cappex, Chegg, The College Board, Niche (formerly known as College Prowler), Scholarships.com, Collegenet.com, and Scholarship Monkey.[9]

We have done all that. Nothing new. How many are given the scholarships? Infact, private individuals also set up scholarship funds abroad but how many people really get it compared to those who qualify or even apply for it?
Maybe your rants should be towards those funding the scholarships, but then again they can only give scholarships to so many. Majority still get loans which are interest free while in school. Some of those who get scholarships just get part funding. You have to be extremely brilliant whether rich or poor to get merit scholarships, or very atheletic to get sports scholarships. Your need based aid include grants or LOANS or work study, most times the grant part doesn't cover everything.
That's even for a country with facilities to get loans for learning. Here IN Nigeria, there are millions applying to these few private unis we still have .you're expecting too much

Statsocial:

It is not about how big. You would be surprised that some of the best universities in the world don't even have up to 300 acres of land. Heck Caltech main campus is 124 acres, Howard is 250 acres, MIT is 168 acres-so it is not about having some useless landmass that could have been used for farming but giving value..

Landmass is not the only way to determine the size/bigness of a school.
You have to consider the usable space in the buildings. A university in a densely populated urban area cannot have plenty of land but it would compensate by having high rise buildings.

The ratio for secular universities in the USA will be much better than for the so-called Christian universities built with the congregation’s contribution.
If you insist that it is not, then I will dig up their statistics for you to provide those of the Christian universities that you are defending here for comparison.

Not entirely true. With the exception of Universities of Technologies like Caltech very few of those universities have high rise buildings. Most importantly a university builds what it needs per time and as time goes by and enrollment increases, smaller buildings would give way for bigger ones.

Simple question, you are diverting attention to marriage! Please stop your sinful ways of lies and deception.

Still on scholarships, most US public universities get funding from the govt, a lot from endowment funds from their alumni-( which they use to fund their scholarships ), grants from public and private foundations for research, student's tuition and lastly from school businesses like making sweatshirts/mugs etc.
Their alumni invest heavily in their schools. They have a giving culture in America. Someone else is paying for those scholarships indirectly, and not The schools you're comparing them to in Nigeria dont have that luxury. Mcpearson in question is just starting out.
Its good to be rational and fair.
Private unis in Nigeria don't get funds from the govt, they don't have a strong alumni base yet, thankfully some are doing research and sourcing for funds for it- and those funds shouldn't be diverted to scholarships (research is important). Their money is mainly generated from tuition to run their schools.

Wyclefniranz:

The poor are >1000 times more than the rich in Nigeria, how many poor people can these universities cater to without running down? How do you expect the schools to run themselves without money generated from tuition?
Is it from tithe money? Assuming a poor man gives 500 naira tithe monthly- 6K yearly and he has 5 children. How do you expect his 6k yearly cover the tuition of his 5 children in these unis?
Are you agreeable to lecturing in these schools for free? Or if you can't even lecture, can you agree to be a cleaner for free in these schools? If people are not giving their services for free in these schools, how then do you expect them to give free university education?
