chiswaggs: I know one thin for sure that if this man allows all sorts of miscreants to parade his school, there will still be some people here on nairaland saying ' imagine a school run by a man of God'.

Don't mind the hypocrites. You can never win , no matter what you do.

All those who support the indiscipline or the students on the post must be teenagers. That way their comments makes sense.

Vanneni: . Some of them were forced and some others didn't know anything about the rules before entering.
' ignorantia facti excusat, ignorantia juris non excusat' simply put, ignorance of the law is not an excuse to break it. Imagine som1 dat kills and says I did not know that there was a law in Nigeria that forbids killing. In english, ' ignorance of facts excuse, ignorance of the law does not excuse'.

I suppose most of those viewing/following this thread are CU alumni.But they have been largely mum.

Only Vanneni has been bold enough albeit wrongly.Kudos though.

Attention everybody!
If you are a CU alumnus, please stand up!!

Any one getting admission into a private university are aware of the laws right from when you pay ur acceptance fee and u av a copy of d rules and regulations. Furthermore both parents and students do sign a letter of undertaking binding them to these rules and their consequences.so when u disobey, expect consequences( though consequences are not commensurate with offences most times like in this case).
Also schools taking these kind of measures are most times operating from experiences. Many of these private unis were not even 20percent hard as they are now. There has been a lot of abuses from the students and also from parents who think they are high and mighty and there children can get away with anything.an example of this; in my 100level in a private uni, there were some guys from d same family trying to introduce cultism in d school cos they've bin in other unis before, they go abt threating other guys and even to d extent on planning to rape in d female hostels.the student protested to d school administration, d guys were expelled and lo and behold tjeir father sued d school and the case was in court for a very long time to d extent that our registrar had to be on house arrest for a while.after the whole sAga, rules became harder with stiffer penalties.
We also have parents that want to turn private unis into rehabilitation centers for their wayward children so they always complain that the rules are not as strict as they shld be.imagine a child that took permission to go home on a weekend not knowing that the father was also on his way to visit him in school that same day. On getting to the school and did not meet d child it was serious drama asking the school authority who gave them permission to allow d child leave d school; that he was d one that brought d child to school and until he comes to d school to take his child, he shldnt be allowed to leave. This and many more cases like this made d school to start given exit permit once a month.

50calibre: This thing sounds more like a secondary school, the restrictions are just too much but then again students who chose to attend the university knew fully well about the high standards and strict discipline the university prides itself on so it was their responsibilty to abide by them.
most didn't choose the school..most of them were forced by their parents to go there..

methodman: lol...nothing new. I remembered when my cousin was suspended for a year just because he mistakenly signed for someone who wasnt in skol at the time of roll call. Come see as we beg Oyedepo oooo the man talk say hin one year na one year. Come see as my cousins father deh vex for Oyedepo. He actually wanted to withdraw the poor boi from the skol but my cousin was already in 300level. I pitied him sha because it really affected hin psychologically. angry angry angry

Don't let us be hypocritical in this issue. Note the highlighted, how can a student tell us that he mistakenly signed for someone (presumably a friend) who was not in school? Such person will grow up to tell Nigerian he mistakenly collected fuel subsidy payment without delivering the product just like a federal Minister who got paid #2.7 billion 'mistakenly' for a product he did not deliver.

Virtually everybody belief that Nigerians need a tough man/institution to tame corruption in our nation, we complain that GEJ is weak but when we see a man who is firm on bad character and corruption we cry wolf. Why? Nigeria RONU (think).

That's what the parents signed for. i pity the students because majority had no choice regarding the school they wanted to attend. University is not just about grades...its also supposed to be a school of life where you meet all sorts of characters that you will meet later in life. Also, you learn to make better decicions from your life mistakes.

Even in Harvard i don't think the students will be loitering around while their VC and Chancellor is in a hall to address them. Call a spade a spade - the the student did was wrong and they paid dearly for it. Period.
students will always be students, leave that one aside. The chapel is large enough to contain about 3 thousand seated students at a time and we are about 8 thousand students. They didn't pprovide us with canopies or anything of the sort so students were hanging all around the chapel. Now what do you expect them to do? There's no way that some wouldn't be gisting and even moving about. But if the were inside the chapel, their noise would have been less. They should consider some of these things jare. A friend of mine who didn't get a seat inside was just standing outside non her own when she saw people running. She was wondering what was happening when papa came and tapped her on the shoulder asking if she was a students. She was surprised and was like yes, I'm a student. Then the man raised his hands up to slap her. Omo, she pushed him and ran away. She came to the hostel crying. She was lucky that she wasn't caught.

Its a "Christian university", if a Muslim goes there then he/she has accepted Christianity cos they are given rules&regulations to read, agree to and sign! And if u've done that, then u r bound by d rules!......

Rosebela: Even in secondary school people use phone talkless of an institution thunder fire that kind thing

Madam, there are phone boxes everywhere in the school and each student is encourage to own a call-card which they recharge with Airtel (Zain) recharge card and they make calls with it. You can see someone students on phone for over an hour and nobody harass them but the rule and regulation is that no student should own a mobile (GSM) phone. So i hope you get the clue? Students in that school still make calls, even international calls. God bless Nigeria!

Liar. Every student signs and agrees to obey school rules and regulation. You have to be where other students are, no prefrential treatment for anybody. Lots and Lots of muslim students have graduated from all these universities, CU, Bowen etc. They pray in their rooms, even their room mates respect their praying corners where they lay their mat. nobody disturbs you if you don't carry your religion like a sign board on your head or try to irritate others with it.

The muslim students are much more disciplined than the christians in privatye schools o. They don't even miss any worship service and they still do their daily prayers with their mat in the rooms. I remember they were allowed to even go out to a particular mosque to pray on fridays outside d school though I don't think they still do dat.

All thsese issues is a matter of discipline and good home training jare.
Once you know ur 4 or 5 yrs is constant, do wateva they want and get out . U still av d remaining part of ur life to enjoy ur freedom.
Also some kids don't put their parents into consideration before behaving erractically at times because everything is handed to them on a platter of gold. If u realise that ur going to a private uni is an opportunity and not a right , then u will make good use of that opportunity.

I am sure rules were listed before the students apply to study there, so if they break it, they should be expelled.
