Covenant University: 3rd Convocation Ceremony

There is nothing wrong in sending your son anywhere you want  and if you decide he must go to CU then good luck but for you to curse the children of those who choose to do otherwise  with an overstretched duration of 7/8 years in the university coupled with a 3rd class degree says a lot about the kind of person you are, how could you say such a thing, people like you will step on peoples head to get what they want.



It is obvious a lot of people do not pray for an improvement in our educational system for their own selfish reasons.

No one is stopping you from being rich but you dont need to curse the poor.

Of course there is no denying the fact that Federal Universities are good, but I will not say equally (except in the quality of Lecturers the federal Universities have.) I went to one and most people I know who went to such are doing fine. We did strive to succeed in the situation we found ourselves and it was not fun. Our Federal Universities could do with being more comfortable and not let students spend their time thinking of getting the right accommodation, good place to eat, convenient place for reading and overall stability leading to graduation. Whereas most students spent their time determining where the next meal was going to come from or how to buy that Handout or textbook that the Lecturer prepared and which formed part of your assessment! All these issues are the effects of the prevalent mismanagement of Resources in the Nation.

There is absolutely nothing like a Student starting a course in a University and knowing your exact date of graduation! How many people in our various universities have ever had that "Luxury" of knowing this?

I Never mean any harm !
I'm not at all cursing any1 !
4 what ?
I don't need / have to ride on others to get to where am going all i need is PLAN.


Events have shown that  Nigerian leaders has not us in  mind not to talk of our children education.

Health sector 4 instance; they shared the supposed 'left-over' when in the real sense all federal medical facilities are in a state of mess.That's why dey fly abroad to traet themselves.

Which of these leaders have manifesto with Education taking highest priority?

In that case PLAN 4 urself since they have no plan 4 no one.

Have very few children (1 or  MAX of 2) depending on the value u want for them.

Personaly;Am investing half my income for the past 5yrs and the next 5yrs in shares for my only baby. I think by then , I may not need to borrow money to send her to 1 of these good private UNIV.

It's by choice !!!

 If you dont go to universities where saddists are lecturers, you can have your first class. Some saddists would tell you in class- "You can never have an A in my course''.

The multiplication factor is a huge non-sense. UI also does this thing and I wonder if it really counts in the labour market. If the students really deserve it, give it to them. They should just be made to defend it.

The labour market in Nigeria today is mainly about connection. That's the trend. Graduates of IMT, Enugu, working in big firms do help their alumni. Some people got employed just because they are old boys/girls of some particular secondary schools e.g Kings' college, Christ School, Ado and others.

celebrate CU

Pls if u love Nigeria than stop saying negative things about the 1st class from CU. This is the problem most Nigerians have.Start appreciating your own. I experienced the CU degree last year and am now serving in Nasarawa State. i hate it when people think Negative always.Take your child to Government schools then.

The first set spent less than 1Million naira for the four years and am sure the subsequent set including this just graduated students spent less than 1.5M. please dont quote figures you aint sure of.

yeah right,  Accountant General of the Federation

How does the usual suffering/challenges students face in a Federal or State university prepare them for the challenges in Zenith bank, BAT, Exxonmobil, Unilever or PWC (e.t.c.)?

How are Graduates in European and American Universities able to work successfully in Major companies in their countries without going through the kind of challenges some of us went through in Universities in Nigeria?

Bottomline is I don't believe that you must suffer in school to be able to face challenges in the workplace. We are even getting to the point where we consider the abnormal as normal in Nigeria .

Most of the graduates in Private universities are not from wealthy homes as people perceive. Their parents have decided to sacrifice to ensure that their children went to these schools. I know several of such parents. Are all the graduates of these schools not working in the same offices as some of you are or leaving for schools overseas for their masters?

In the Long run, how much do some people spend even to get accommodation in other non private universities in a year? Tiny bedspaces and corners go for multiples of tens of thousands of Naira in one year in some of these schools and what does all the various expenses students incur add up to in a year? Of course now that you are enjoying the big bucks in the workplace, you have forgotten all the challenges of even registering on the first day you stepped into school.

agree with this sentence,I am tested based on my capabilities at work not based on the school i went to.
i don't believe suffering would prepare u for the real world as much as it probably would make one dogged and determined to succeed, it shouldnt be a reason to attack those that never went through it

LOL Ziz feel your passion babe

Wow! this is interesting, CU causing this kind of waves,  well, for the doubting thomoses, i can assure you that every 1st class student of CU can defend his/her degree ANYWHERE in the world. the problem with most of u out there is that u all have had your minds conditioned to the falacy that a 1st class degree is almost impossible. i beg to differ. it is very possible. just watch out for us in the near future sorry now and see the waves we are causing, why do i know so much, cos i'm one of them,

There is no denying the fact that students of Fed and State Unis are more rugged judging by what they experienced. But we do not need such ruggedness to survive in a normal society.

When I said people that studied in Europe and america and who had it good in school are working in good Companies, I wasn't refering to Nigerians and not companies in Nigeria.  just reminding you that these students did not suffer in school, yet their output at work is good and their economies are doing fine.

And to the point where you meant that Peeps from foreign universities have issues when they get back to Nigeria, yes they ought to. Afterall, the peeps are coming from a society where there are some differences in how work is approached and completed, so why won't they have issues initially. It will take a very tolerant person coming from overseas to overlook some of our natural attitude to work.

Congratulations to all graduates. I'm a product of a private university and I know it's not 'beans' to get grades, but I have come to realise that most people who criticize (destructively) don't know nothing, maybe is just envy. They say a 2.1 in a public university would 'dust' any 1st class from a private university; big lie. I work in a world class organisation and management knows the stuff like minds (private university grads) are made up of. Do your homework before posting junk it earns you respect.
