Frendys: Your intention is wrong and short sighted. If at this stage of your life you have become articulate at undermining your institution openly then you will never see good in anyone or anything else. You are doomed because you have no sense of gratitude and value. Public institutions are no different or better.
You may come to realize later in life that the moral the institution wants you to imbibe will be a bonus to your life. Two of my family members who graduated from CU are highly placed in the US and Britain respectively and they value the foundation of Christian moral they received while in CU. And they are godly. No doubt every institution has its drawback.
The other OP “Muskeeto” that ‘knows all’ about his church’s finances, I only have pity for you. You can’t break the Church of Jesus Christ…you will be broken instead.
Please realize that the money for developing and maintaining the school comes from the tithes, donations and offerings of the church members and not from the federal government purse!
Every great institution has a humble beginning: A wise son will make his father proud.

stagger: Anyone with complaints should go to the National Universities Commission, not Nairaland.

OP, who forced you to enter the place when there are other universities? Go to other places where girls apply make-up and go half-nude, where students use Blackberry phones during lectures, and where no one gives a damn about whether you have any morals or not.

I did not go to a Christian university, and if I had an opportunity to live life again, I will not.

GO TO WHERE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE!

yuzedo: This was NOT written by an aggrieved undergraduate of RUNS, or even an undergraduate for that matter!
. . And if peradventure it was, where were you when your mates were reading for JAMB and SAT? :p
All these modafocking private unis sha! Thank God I went to UCLA + MIT + Imperial College. .

I can deduce from all ur long story that u are a lazy student, the time spent by u to compose this long sentences could have been use to study hard.
secondly if u are sure of ur capability why not leave the school and write jamb to enter unilag which i presumed better than ur RUN.
Thirdly, banning of students from using blackberry @ school is not a bad idea.

musKeeto: I'm not surprised. Had a friend at CU too.

For those who think the church doesn't make money, let me give you a hint to the amount of milllions that pour into the church's coffers.
I've worked for one of the parishes of the RCCG. My parish is what's called an AREA headquarters. I had access to most of the financial sheets within our church.

We'll ignore offerings(building, special, seedfaith, all other bullshit), and donations.

TITHES: this is the real windfall
Every month, each member is expected to pay 10% of his salary. For our case study, let's assume one church has a 100 members. Let's also assume each of them earns minimum wage.

18,000 * 10% = 1,800

1,800 * 100 = 180,000naira every month.

Imagine a church has at most 10 branches in a state.

180,000 * 10 =1.8million naira per month..

There are 36 states in Nigeria, Abuja is excluded..

1.8m * 36= 64.8m naira every month..

Need I say more..

REMEMBER OFFERINGS, DONATIONS, SPECIAL SERVICE OFFERINGS, ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE FIGURES

papatosibe:

No way you aced JAMB. If you did, you wouldnt have attended RUN.

hotwax: [size=13pt]Yes Church has to make money. If ya dont like it, stop paying your tithe to them. Na by force to contribute to church ?

Church pay salaries, builds, pay tax to the government e.t.c.

You think Mecca was just beautiful like that. Is it not people that are maintaining it ?

solaceguy: Long write-up....did'nt care to read it
I went to RUN, made a 1st class (thank God, cos it was difficult), I'm happy i attended RUN...btw i aced my jamb n other international exams i have done

sample042: @op, if nt 4 maturity i wuld ve used harsh words on u. 4rm ur write up u seemd enlightnd n intelligent bt 4rm wat u composed above it demeans ur personality. Complain s nt a solutn to such things. As a poster 1c said "quit d sch" if it's nt convenient 4 u. Mind u, am nt a redeemer.

What’s the point of this write-up? The world deserves to know what goes on in these so called private universities. Covenant University is another university with loads of secrets. Do not be deceived. If proper investigations are carried out, who knows what can be achieved? We young people are made to endure a lot and when we complain to our parents, most of them ignore our tales in the belief that they are nothing but tales. I guess it is until something happens to the child of someone prominent in the society or military that these vices will be tackled.

deseg: Hello, anonymous reporter. Firstly, may I ask why you hid your identity if you are not afraid of opposition(s).

We cannot dispute the fact that the University environment is a supposed to be a place where people are meant to develop a sense of responsibility and independency but have you observed that by the time you try to experience some things(whereby you would have learnt from those who have gone through the process already) for yourself, so much damage would have been made at the end of the day, time wasted, devalued reputation and so on. Also, the school (RUN) has got it flaws but it's not for you- Mr Anonymous- to now open up the weakness or weaknesses of a person, group or authority as if you do not have your flaws.

Your write-up is a long one so I might not be able to address every issue but let me quickly establish two key issues:

1. Before any student or parent send their children to a christian private University, they already have an idea of what obtains in such a place.

2. Every power is ordained of God and God instructs to obey our leaders and all those who are in authority. So, grumbling at this point is only an indirect way of bringing curses on yourself and if you desire to be free as a bird as I emvisage that you want to be; you can leave the school (RUN).

My final advice for you is that if you would not obey the authority under which you operate, live, study, e.t.c; back out of such group or society in order to stop raining curses on yourself.

A. Ajao.

solaceguy: this person did not attend RUN, and d person that said d writer has good vocabs is obviously a graduate of a sub-standard university. Emerole is a Professor and not a doctor. he was the first 1st-class-in-biochemistry graduate in nigeria. I saw many other lies you told about RUN, #Godiswatchingyou ....btw d past tense of 'Dive' is 'Dove' and not 'dived'

akmid:

my elder bro aced jamb,had 261 at 1st attempt but went to a private uni,the funny thing is,in his jamb form,his 1st choice of a uni was the private uni,so its possible to ace jamb and attend a private uni!
