As schools all over Nigeria are about to resume for a new session, Nollywood actor Prince Eke ponders on the expensive fee of schools owned by churches. According to him:
“How can a church own a school and the poor can’t attend it…? How can you be teaching people how they can make it to the kingdom of God when they can’t enter your own earthly ‘kingdom’, built with people’s tithes and donations…? How can Christian schools be the most expensive schools in Nigeria now…? How can one relate this to the term “Christianity” with regards to the “Early Christian Community” ?
“Most of the good people in the world now have nothing to do with Christianity, just like most Christians are far from it too. Another academic session, and parents are paying through their noses to send the kids back to school. A word will always be enough for the wise! Have a nice day!” (Prince Eke, LIB)
My dear Brother (Prince) Eke, if you find the answer to those questions, you can actually solve Nigeria’s problems.
Your sentiments and passion are not misplaced…they are well founded and grounded in truth.
