RCCG Members Shouldn’t Be Paying To Study At Redeemer’s University – Lege Miami

Nollywood actor, Lege Miami has come out to query the General Overseas of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye over the academic conditions of his church members.

He recently had his say vis his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the parents of the kids attending the Redeemer’s university are the same people paying the offerings and tithes used in erecting the school, so he does not see why members cannot enjoy the education there for free.

Lege added that even the staff of the private university should be able to work for free as well.

His words, “Somebody approached me now and said he needed to pay off some fees at school, I asked him what church he attends and he said Redeem and I am aware that there’s a private institution under your church. The parents of these children are the same people who paid the offerings and tithes you used in erecting the university, please don’t be offended why not allow your church members attend your school for free and continuing using the money contributed at the church to maintain the institution. Please sir they keep approaching us on the streets, we have not eaten as well. Also the staffs at the institution should be able to work for you for free.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
