I give them 5 stars if the poor are not left out in their endeavors.

Jethrolite:
Do you mean it is wrong for a self sustaining university to exist or are you trying to say there is no self sustaining university currently?

Most if not all private universities in Nigeria were opened to enrich their Chancellors and they have been sustaining themselves since inception.

The Ivy League schools you mentioned can definitely sustain themselves for a while from their endowments and if the endowments keep flowing in constantly then the school can definitely become self sustaining.

I do not know who granted you access to the books of a private university but I doubt you did proper scrutiny.

Do you have data to back up the bolded statement, or it was a statement based on assumptions? I'm not a big fan of Winner's Chapel, but we once carried out a research, and by that data, I don't think there is any University, private or public, at least in Nigeria, which was within our scope, that doesn't have to rely on some form of subvention to break even.

I seriously doubt if it is possible to establish a University and use it as a profit generating organisation.

ollah1:
Charity!! Charity!! Charity !!!


Why can't they build HOSPITALS that the poor that benefit from?
They registered their churches as a charity organization in order to evade tax but zero charities. Ok oo

Lol, zero charity right, lol it won't have pain me if your Muslim/mosque are doing 20% of charity the church is doing. Smh

Meanwhile am a winner church member, am here suffering without work nor money to feed

So who to blame?

Desyner:

Go and sort out your ignorance and stop exposing your below average mind here.
What you pay is a function of what you are getting sir. If uni education starts n ends with certificate for you go to public uni, if you want better security, power, reliable health, no strikes, and good equipments, then pay for it and stop being so daft.
Do you want churches to subsidize N500,000 per session and bring to sch fee to public uni level just so the poor aren't left out? What's the use if they do that and admit only 200 student per year? Wouldn't it be better if they give 200 scholarship per year and allow another 1800 students pay 600,000 per session. It is a pity people expect the world to bend to their situation just so they aren't left out. Your mentality explains why the average Nigerian driver breaks traffic so often just to for selfish reasons.

ok

Stop all this ' i too know talk'

One thing you should know..they are building this school to enrich their pocket.. they should make the school affordable for the church members and dont talk about scholarship..even half of this scholarship are given to the rich

One thing you should know as well, the money used in building the school are from the members..but 99℅ of the members cant affordable it.

You would have scored some points if you'd tried to answer some of the questions I asked.
If you can't engage intellectual arguments, don't engage in it. Answer those questions I raised and let your reasoning be judged.
You exonerate your politicians and pass what should be their leadership role and vision blueprint to church leaders? How faulty a thinking pattern can be!
You folks who take your delight in criticizing church are doing so because church have proven to be better resource managers than your politicians. So it is churches now that should be building failed industries your governments couldn't do? Who told you education is not an industry in the first place? Possibly you would have been a better human if you had gone to a better school if at all you went to one. No thanks to your leaders, in your behalf, who failed to build a better educational system among others.
I may have a long way to go in your parochial lopsided thinking, but the good news is that my journey of a thousand miles have started since.
Sad news. The sad news is that you don't know where you are facing nor going now. How sad?!

codemaniacs:


You've answered your own questions... they built schools that ensured the people who got schooled there were only thought admin roles to serve them and not roles to ensure they can turn their resources into final products.

If you don't know that your politicians are complicit in subjugating their own people for favor from foreigners then you have a long way to go.

If religious bodies were to start building industries it would take less than 5 years for Nigeria to reduce its un-employment rate..

Are u ok mentally?
What do you mean by 99% can't afford it again?
I just showed dullards like you why the sch is ok. Keep speculating to justify you hatred for the church one thing I know, the church don't owe you cheap or free service, the govt does, as long as you pay tax go and hold you govt responsible.

2 billion for this?
See ozoro poly stadium in delta state, its way way better.

poor reading culture..A proof of the kind of education we av out there. U see y Nigeria needs quality schools like this.

It was stated in black and white that its two different stadia, one for covenant and another for landmark.. 1b each

University wey d poor nor fit attend


Religious in Nigeria is a bloody scam

Brainwashed ppl

You are an ediot. There are more than enough Universities the poor can attend in Nigeria. Go there and stop crying on the Internet.

Heywhizzy:
I sincerely hope the poor ain't left out from the spending of the church



May God open the eyes of our pastors to make right investments.. The poor and the needy should be the main priority of church funds.. Lord help us all

In fact the church was established because of the poor. May be they should even stop preaching the gospel and they should focus 100% on feeding and caring for the poor.
Hypocrites

I'm so happy. Haters of the church can start their wailing. The church is moving forward and the gate of hell can never prevail against it. Haters should go and hug transformer.

OK my bad, I didn't read the article, but that does not have anything to do with the quality of Nigeria's education. I was chatting with someone. Didn't have time to read the article.

you lack understanding.. You must be a dropout


so me talking bout investing in the poor is hypocricy.. You must be a member of winners and I understand your pain, you wrongly inferred I was criticizing the church but I was merely hoping the church is on the right path cos of my likeness for the bishop

Winners (CU & Landmark) are exception regarding the bold. The Church is still subsidizing those unis heavily. The subsidy (about N4B-N5B/year) is a pure function of what the students are enjoying. People criticize blindly out of emotion.
Govt isn't providing equipment, power, water, security, housing, or books at the level Landmark and CU are but spend as high as N400,000 to subsidize some students in Federal Unis.
Juxtapose the figures against the services rendered and see what's keeping private unis going.

Darksider131:
shut up

Building schools for the rich

before nko. survival of the fittest.
can you teach for free or construct for free or supply building materials for free.

Desyner:

What do you mean by "they don't pay taxes at all and still make billions"? Keep the hate in control bros.
How can you call voluntary contribution for a cause profit and expect the money to be taxed? It is like money being contributed by a group getting taxed.

So it's not possible for a church or set of churches to build a free hospital for the needy ? But it's possible for churches to buy privates Jets and expensive cars which is more than enough to build and equip a hospital. Wow!! You guys are indeed slaves. Big time slaves and you enjoy the shackles

Olabenjamen22:

My mosque? So I'm automatically a Muslim because of my critics? Mosques aren't as rich Churches so that answers your question

Statsocial:

The Church has no Ordinance in Industrialization. Its not that they can't build it but it bears no relevance to the Gospel. You need to understand that the main purpose of Christian Universities is never to teach Biology, Physics or Chemistry but to raise morally sane individuals who would stand for God in whatever field of endeavour they are raised.

Now the funding of the Sciences and building of Infrastructure is just a Cover to attract people for sublime bibilcal indoctrination. This is one of the most potent ways the Church has used in enmeshing itself in all sectors in the US. Example, Graduates of Oral Roberts Uni are usually staunch Political Conservatives and ProLifers. You don't want to mess with some of them in Congress or their various state legislatures.

So as the church continues to release thousands of graduates, they do two things. 1) Establish Christ in some of them 2) Widen the Influence of the Church. Many Graduates of Church Universities maybe running around today but know that a Seed has been sown that would ultimately change the nation.

And you think with all that disciplines the society won't change a graduate of Covenant University Student, right?

codemaniacs:


it is the job of the govt to subsidize things for poor people...

Yes it is their job and they have failed, should men who claim to be God annoited also FAIL?

ok sir. It's nobel of u to av accepted ur wrong as u just did.. Next time its good to get the full picture if at all we wanna criticize. Sorry about my previous comment

rhektor:


What stop you from starting your own charity organisation and build an hospital thta would treat the poor for free instead of spending your time spewing hatred here?

I m not spewing hatred but stating facts. It's all over the Bible that the needy should be helped. What are the foundations laid by clergies strictly for the poor? People die everyday in hospitals. Gos said his judgement will start from his house but we shouldnt wait for that before getting things right and done

ollah1:



My mosque? So I'm automatically a Muslim because of my critics? Mosques aren't as rich Churches so that answers your question

really? Ok i concur.. Bomb materials are very expensive so it gulps alot of their resources

charliboy654:

See ozoro poly stadium in delta state, its way way better.

You guys keep bring incomplete info to decieve people. How much was that stadium built with? You think Ozoro poly is being funded with your recharge card school fee ?
Go find out how much DTSG pays Ozoro poly staff every year and divide it by the number of students there then add you school fee + accomodation + power bills per year and correct that dull post you have up there.

1. Your English is bad.
2. Who is brainwashed between taxpaying Nigerians that attend governments universities like Uniosun, OOU, KWASU etc and pay up to 350k as school fees and a winners member that out of his own discretion choose to pay or not to pay tithes and offering attending Covenant University.
Stop blaming the church for the failures and inabilities of the government. Taxpaying Nigerians deserve good roads, quality and affordable education, good medical services and food security. THE CHURCH DOESN'T OWE ANYONE.

Keep shifting the goal post. Winners subsidize CU & LU with billions yearly. It is only a matter of shutting the unis and opening health centres. Are you happy now?
