so in essence, CU is a charity right? Please, lets do maths. Enlighten us further so maybe we can even begin to praise Daddy GO

How much does the average CU student pay annually? How many students are in CU?

How much do 10 professors earn annually?

Who pays the money the church 'subvents' to the school? The Federal Government? Oyedepo's personal money (gotten from who else?) ? Or the tithes paid by the parents?


I suspect Oyedepo or his wife or maybe someone he knows might have attended a missionary school (probably pry & secondary) when he was younger. How much did he/they pay?

How much does the secondary school he owns charge their students as fees yearly? Or the money they pay too can't pay the salary of 10 teachers?

Who even owns these institutions? Is it God? Is it ''the church'' (if yes, do the church members have 'shares')? Or is it Bishop Oyedepo?

*Ultimately, everythn we own belongs to God coz when we die, everything stays here on earth, we take nothing with us*

If you cant provide satisfactory answers to 70% of these questions, then please 'quietly keep quiet' on these your claims so that MOG will not invoke the curse of God on you.
It's what we are told we'll take even thoug we have our doubt. We are told that it's the church that runs the school. Student's school doesn't go a long way at all. So we are told constantly.

Tony Spike:

Are you sure about this? So, are you suggesting that Covenant University has a total of less than 10 professors?

There are more Professors there than i mentioned. my point is the fee these student pay cannot pay more than a fraction of the salary (school wage).

isomadtech: CU knows what they are doing. The children of the rich are spoilt brat, disobedient and wayward. CU only create a platform for the remoulding of their life because the parent that are supposed to train them are busy pursuing money.
If a whole VC is talking and some student that are supposed to be listening are loitering around. Is that not disrespect to constituted authorities? They have to be punished.
Lastly, our inability to follow rules and regulations had led to decay that we now witness in our society today. Why would our people get to us, uk and the rest and follow their rules and here at home we do something else. I believe a lot of you that codemn the man must be under 30 because if you are above 30 and you dont know the place of rules and regulation im a society, then am afraid.
It's true that rules are needed to mould and guide and, they must be adhered to. When dealing with young adults, caution and wisdom is needed. When a person does wrong, appropriate and reasonable purnishments should be meted out to him/her. Humans are different and respond to different situations differently. When a person is purnished way beyound what they deserve, it could make them more hardened. Some could be severely damaged psychologically and well.. Others may repent. My grievance is, they shouldn't just throw students out like that, consistent councelling with love and tenderness could do the magic for some people. Many people need love and just someone to talk to, it's not like they love being bad. For some, it's their parents fault, they didn't give out quality time and affection to their children. I can't understand why some people would just choose to be deliberately bad, I don't understand This life sef ehn, it's just God's grace we need.

No one should be forced to go to church, it should be by freewil. It's better for them to stay in their hostel than go to church and disturb. This man is so authoritative and inconsiderate. I have never 4 once read nor heard the Pastor E.A Adeboye goes to do room routine or searches hostels of Redeemer's University neither does he curse his student. I can't let a man like Oyedepo pray 4 me. We pray everyday 4 4giveness. Of sins yet he(oyedepo) can't. He's not a man of God.

Ile-Ife:


No, i disagree. Such Universities will produce graduates that obey the law. That's what the society needs.

BTW. People that have nothing reasonable to contribute are the ones complaining about what Oyedepo said. Anybody that has a problem with the 'threat' should go hug a transformer. While your mates are praying in the chapel, you are busy loitering and chatting around, are you inviting God's blessing or curse? Abeg make all of una pack well jor.
see, they will never give the whole story. The university chapel is small compared to the number of students. Usually what they do when meetings are bing held for the whole school to attend, they provide canopies and chairs just outside the chapel. But on that friday, there wasn't enough space for students to sit so they had to hang around the chapel and that kind of thing, when you are outside you'd be tempted to make noise na, ah! It's just normal. The authorities should know that they are dealing with young adults and should be able to condole some nonsense to a very limited degree though. When they expell the students does that guarantee they will become better people in the outside world?? No. As a 'christian school based on Biblical truths (like papa would say ''This is a God varsity not an ordinary university''), there is sure a better way to deal with students. Not this partial rubbish they are doing.

If you hate the school so much then LEAVE

As a CU graduate I can't stress enough the serious ADVANTAGE I have had at job interviews when competing against LASU/OSU/LAG candidates...

The relative exposure you get to new technology/learning methods at CU is far ahead of what is obtainable at state-run and other private unis...

Appreciate what you have or GET OUT!

I still don't believe that, my friend. Can you do the mathematics of the income generated from students' fees? If and when you do that, I can agree with you. Again, your statement (the bolded) insinuates that the school (covenant University) relies heavily on external income for its sustenance. This, again, sounds very plausible because the University should have been shut down long ago if that were the case.

Then the members of faculty and staff started returning back into the chapel, then the education secretary,Mrs.Aize Obayan took to the podium, as she was speaking,students were murmuring,then the Chancellor walked up to the podium and politely took the microphone, he said ''if i hear the voice of any student, the curse of the lord shall fall upon that one''. the chapel went dead silent.

tatiana009:

If God places a curse on you every time you disobey (sin), where would you be?
Thank you but the rule had to be broken for the curse to take effect. 'If you make noise you're cursed' Sounds stupid to me. I know God Himself attached curses to certain rules that if broken the curse would take effect. But somehow, when one begins to get tormented by the curse and they run to this God who placed that curse, asking Him for mercy, He pardones them and lifts the curse. He's very patient, warnes us a lot of times. And when He eventually takes action, He says, it's for us to come back to Him because He loves us. These people expelling anyhow, are they doing it out of love? The children/students could go and and constitute a nuisance to the society. Some people are just that sturbborn and harddened. God deals with us based on our respective individuality.

. so in essence, CU is a charity right? Please, lets do maths. Enlighten us further so maybe we can even begin to praise Daddy GO

CU is not a charity.

How much does the average CU student pay annually? How many students are in CU?

Averagely a student pays #500,000. Less than 9,000 students.

How much do 10 professors earn annually?

There are more professors in the school, at least there are 3 colleges and none have less than 15. Google is your friend search what an average Nigerian professor earn. Mind you the school gives grant to her scholars (professors/phds/masters (all academic staff inclusive) to national and international seminars and conferences which no government school (both federal and state) can compare. I have fact/data to this effect.

Who pays the money the church 'subvents' to the school? The Federal Government? Oyedepo's personal money (gotten from who else?) ? Or the tithes paid by the parents?
The members give (and not pay) offerings and tithe. Every church of Christ in the world where members willingly and freely give offering you don't go back and start counting this is the much i have given the church. The missionaries that cam to African came because people gave freely to their mission. Its never anybody's money. PLEASE GET THAT RIGHT.

I suspect Oyedepo or his wife or maybe someone he knows might have attended a missionary school (probably pry & secondary) when he was younger. How much did he/they pay?
And this is to mean? Haven't you heard that there is no free meal anywhere in the world not even in Freetown? The salvation that we Christians enjoy freely today was paid for by Christ dearly with His life. Yes Bishop Oyedepo definitely will have attended a free missionary school while he was younger but do you know that most missionaries died of malaria in the bush of Africa while bringing this free education?

How much does the secondary school he owns charge their students as fees yearly? Or the money they pay too can't pay the salary of 10 teachers?
Am sure you're aware there are primary/secondary schools in Lagos/Abuja that charges as much as #1 million per term therefore making #3 million per session per pupil/student and heaven did not fall? Majority of the members of his church are not POOR and the few indigent poor among them are placed on scholarship. Please find out to cure your curiosity.

Who even owns these institutions? Is it God? Is it ''the church'' (if yes, do the church members have 'shares')? Or is it Bishop Oyedepo?
So you think Church is an enterprise where members own shares? Who owns Oral Robert University in America (a christian university)? The Church owns the schools in trust of the Church Trustees.

*Ultimately, everythn we own belongs to God coz when we die, everything stays here on earth, we take nothing with us*
And i belief Bishop Oyedepo has not come out to tell you he own the schools or he will be taking them along when he die.

If you cant provide satisfactory answers to 70% of these questions, then please 'quietly keep quiet' on these your claims so that MOG will not invoke the curse of God on you.
I have pick your question one after the other i have done justice to it 100% so you may keep your advise of 'quietly keep quiet' to yourself. He's my Spiritual father who i follow diligently so erase that notion from your mind that the MOG will invoke curse on me. Elijah invoked curse on 42 rebellious children who disrespected him and they were consumed by 2 bears but its nowhere written in the Bible he cursed his spiritual son Elisha rather he transferred a DOUBLE PORTION of his spirit on Elisha.

For this country to attain and recover her lost glory all Nigerians especially we young ones, the future of this nation, must imbibe the spirit of diligence and forthrightness. Enough of this hypocrite and condoling of corruption and misdemeanor.

FRIENDS YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO SHILOH 2012 AT FAITH TABERNACLE, CANAANLAND, OTA, NIGERIA FOR A TRANSFEREES OF DOUBLE PORTION OF GRACE. December 4 - 8, 2012. 7am & 7pm.

STUPIDITY is when you don’t have
a bicycle and you give your last
penny to your pastor to buy a jet.
MUMU is when you can’t pay your
children’s school fees and yet
have money to contribute to your
church to build expensive schools
which your children will never
attend..
IGNORANCE is when you believe it
when your pastor tells you not to
live a worldly life, yet he enjoys all
the best things in the world;the
fine houses, cars, jets, babes etc,
while you
are waiting till you get to heaven
to enjoy your own....
IDIOCY is when you refuse to take
your very sick child to the hospital
because your pastor said you
should not do so, yet that same
pastor secretly runs to USA for
medical attention any time he has
a headache...
KOLO is when you see a poor
beggar on the road and you
refuse to give
him 50 naira out of the 5000
naira in your pocket because it is
your tithe money....
YOU are a zombie when you
trek,dance and gallivant for 30
kilometers under the hot sun
sweating and smelling like shit
during your revival program,
while your pastor is inside a full
option, factory fitted air-
conditionedstate of the art SUV
with
his delectable wife slow driving
along the road.
Stop worshiping your pastors!!!
Stay focused on Jesus The author
and finisher of your Christian
Faith.And learn to study the word.

' 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'.
What I'm sayimng is if one can't abide by the rules of a place, they shouldn't go there. It's simple, but some people didn't know or were forced by parents. In this kind of case, they should quietly withdraw or they'll have to adjust if they make up their minds to remain in the school. Me I've tried adjusting but not been able to completely adjust. I still do a lot of things that could land me in trouble. I think it's just God's own mercy upon me that has kept me thus far. This is my 5th year in that school and I',m more than thrilled to be leaving in June next year by God's grace. Yaaaay!cheesycheesycheesycheesycheesycheesycheesygrin.

deesnipes: 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.
Parents, students and the school are all to blame. I don't even understand again sef, mstcheew! I'm tired.sad

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).
