This is why our rankings with universities in the world is undescribeably poor. Misplaced priorities, A U.S university professor of biology is somewhere in the thick forest studying perhaps an evolutionary toad to make concise textbooks and findings about that toad and my dear CU Is busy sanctioning their students for not attending a church program in the school. Big ups to graduates of public universities where you are allowed to fully explore your right to choice.
. Compare your so called "public schools" to good private schools when it comes to practicals.... And Tbh CU rates higher than most public schools

It's been fun chatting with you.

By the way, when next you "argue", it helps to know your FACTS.

"Drama" and swear words may seem clever, but they usually don't help...unless maybe if you're Kim Kardashian.

Cheers!

It seems most "educated" Nigerians' intellectual capacity is solely restricted to speaking/writing good English.

Like most of your kind, you've got zero critical thinking skills, knows fvck all about his rights, thinks swear words in an argument attenuates its logical weight, doesn't even understand the basics of logical arguments, etc. Only English for show off.

Another unfortunate product of our horrible education system.

Was this in your agreement?

Hearing so many similar stories about this same institution makes one assume that there could be some kind of binding agreement parents sign whenever they enrol their wards.

If that is so, such agreements would have to be respected.

If it stipulates that students should carry around pocket bibles and submit themselves for pregnancy tests before exams...

...Well, as they say in the streets, "Agreement is Agreement"


you are rite. In some places most Catholic boarding schools didnt allow their students Easter break and no body has made any noise abot it. If the students were told not to go home and he/she did then whatever happens to him/her as a result of disobedience is their lot. To obey is better than to sacrifice.

Covenant University is as it again and this time I am not keeping calm!

Please how can a school suspend final year students for not attending "Easter Youth Alive" program" for ONE year Where is that done? Is it on their curriculum? How many units does this program carry?

These students have barley two(2) or three (3) months to go before project defense and graduation, have exams coming up this week and the school wakes up and decides to suspend them for one (1) year? And what happens to the fees paid for the year? In this economic recession, parents should cough out close to a Million Naira again to pay fees

How many "churchy" schools have ever done this? None! Its only Covenant University! Is there no better punishment to give to these students than suspension for a WHOLE YEAR What culture are you trying to imbibe into these students? When they are suspended, will they go home and become better people? What are the lecturers and counselors in the school for? What are the various Bible studies or programs in the school for? Are they organized for just believers? Who did the church come for? Who did Jesus come for? Isn't it the sinners? What if after every sin we commit, our Almighty Father in Heaven decides to suspend us from this earth, where will we all be?

I should believe parents who take their children to such schools do so not just for academic purposes, but also for the spiritual aspect. Isn't that why they have a course titled "The Total Man?" Or what other reason is this course for, if not to build all students, particularly the erring ones to become better people? If not so, they should please enlighten us.

I think this time around, Covenant University has gone over board!

We will not keep silent again.

Please and please, we would appreciate if this is published. We have had enough of this!




LIAR!!!!




Covenant university has a very strong name to protect. They can't do this rubbish.
I am 150% sure that student was suspended for other more grievous offences

For a minute I thought we're talking about a university and not a secondary school.

Get a good lawyer.
..a good lawyer to do what exactly?.....if there was an initial agreement signed by the parents of wards concerning the fact that the students adhere to all activities on campus ...then i do not think the school has done anything wrong....rather its the students who have breeched that agreement
...a good lawyer would tell them that

In the real sense of it, investigation reveals the students were suspended for 'insubordination to constituted authority'. The ops is only playing to the gallery and whipping up unnecessary sentiments. We needs to build a man that will in turn build our communities rather than deviants and miscreants that filled our political terrain. My take.

You know you are not a Christian, yet you sought for admission into a Christian school when government and Muslim schools are not in short supply!!

Well, I want to believe that shouldn't be a problem provided you are ready to follow the laid down rules

There seem to be a breach of the students's right to religion and assembly here. They may have a good argument in court as the religious activity doesn't alter their academic curriculum. I'm not a lawyer but I strongly believe they have a good argument in a court of law no matter the agreement they signed with the school, since it bothers on their fundamental human right.

?? How, fundamental human right? Except the student wants to renounce Christianity then he gas no argument, he breached a contract, at least the little I Knw abound the school, CU has very strict rules when it cones to religious activities. If the student carries CU to court, He/she better be ready to renounce Christianity.

I refuse to go into any argument, all I can say is that when you get yourself a good lawyer, this suspension will be reversed.
Saying you will denounce christianity is not logical, we have protestants and other Christian movement and since students can decide to worship anywhere they so desire, the argument of denouncing christianity is DoA.
