Covenant University Stipulates Negative Test To Pregnancy, Hiv As Precondition

Sad development. Covenant University! Why? That's outrageous, incredulous, and ridiculous.

I have said it 1million times over that these so-called christians are the ones destroying Africa. A continent with more churches than banks, schools and any other social or economic infrastructure, yet the poorest in the world.


I'm not suprised. What do you expect when a dumb ass pastor thinks he can run a University. I was expecting to hear that the students had to be born-again to enroll/graduate. I think the ministry of education should close down all those mediocre universities. If y'all should hear the ridiculous rules that apply in those universities you'll laugh yourself to death.
A university is supposed to be a place where adult minds are groomed, But all these pastors have decided to ridicule the whole thing. Boys dont walk with girls, no relationships, lights out, chapel time, e.t.c. What a joke. I imagine the kind of socially redundant students they are training.
What is the student union doing about these universities sef?? And the parents and students should file a class action suit against the university. I believe there should be a law against such discrimination.

lmao. never thought I'd live to see this day when a christian on nairaland will say "do not judge the whole based on the actions of a tiny minority" (except for a few understanding christians i've seen on here)
this statement usually fall on deaf ears when Muslims say it to their Christian persecutors. lol

I have nothing against the school (now that i've found out that it's a religious school, 'cause i was shocked at first). but I'm just wondering if the students knew about the rules before they enrolled.
or did the school just create this policy 10 days before student graduation. that would be illegal i think. 

@Esss, i don't think religion is destroying Africa. conservative religion is the culprit. joking,   but seriously though. lol methinks religion is just suffering the consequences of our poverty/ problems.

Honey,don't laugh yet.
The actions of those muslims are exemplified by Mohammeds and the commands to follow suit are there for you to see.
On the other hand,Christianity is about love ,Christ gives it freely to all.
Discrimination of any source is not biblical.
That is the big difference.

_{back to the topic}

I am not inciting nothing O! I am not a muslim so I cant talk about their own. But Christians who are "the righteous" that are supposed to be the liberals are the ones promoting such hate and discrimination. I didn't instigate nothing, the writing is there on the wall _{or in the newspaper} for all to see. What next, Muslims cant attend their university, or maybe catholics, or even diabetics. Or like someone said non-virgins will be their next target.

If this is not an example of Christianity like other religions being destructive, then what is. All churches should be banned from venturing into any other franchise _{(cos they will only end up promoting more hate and segregation in the society)}. All church owned Universities, shops, e.t.c should be seized. The finances of churches should be monitored by the government and EFCC. I believe that these pastors are wielding too much power.

We are all talking about convenant simply because their own has been made public, but this thing is being encouraged by other so-called christians like him. Instead of healing the sick they are driving them away, instead of advising and encouraging these young mothers they are depriving them of their certificates that could only help them become better individuals in the future.

My stand remains, Christianity like other religions is destroying us. My opinion.

Esss,Christianity has never been the cause of the worlds ills.
Tell me where Christ encouraged discrimination?
Until then your opinion here makes no sense

Wouldn't you be propagating the same discrimination you condemn?
It is funny how you so called Christians can talk like this and then hide under the banner of political correctness when sharia is at your doorsteps.

Churches or mosques should not be banned but at the same time they must live by the golden rule and respect the civil rights of citizens
Young girls must not wear abayas to get to school in Kano neither do they need a certificate of virginity to go to Covenant.

Until trouble start before una go remember say na Naija we dey. Esss, if you had said that about the Muslims that you said about Christians, they would have issued a Fatwa on your head by now. Stop taking our legerliness for granted. And please, don't diss my religion, I am not finding it one bit funny. I never do that to others because I respect them, even if the religion in question is ATR. So respect me for that matter. Thanks.

Ok. Ca suffit déja. Il ne faut pas faire le bagarre avec le réligion.

I would like to answer you but I'll hate to change the topic.
The focus now is on the bizarre stand of this school which I condemn and I'm a christian.

Jesus said, he who is without sin let him cast the first stone.

Oyedepo like other christians today has not only cast the first stone, he brought his own catapult. Isnt it obvious that christians only pick the part of the bible that is convineint for them. If you go ask him, he will show you somewhere in the bible were his actions are justified.

@ chori

I am also supposed to be a christian, but I've seen more than my fair share of hypocricy. What I'm saying is the truth and you know it. I'm really sorry if you feel I'm picking on christianity _{or your religion}, but I'm only saying what I've noticed.

Jesus does not have to preach it, if any part of the bible even gives a slight hint of it then its alright by most christians. Jesus preached love, Mountain of fire preaches "die by fire".

from what?
There is no one documented case of HIV infection by casual contacts,even a needle stick from a large bore needle from a know HIV patient has only a 0.3% chance of infecton.
You are more at risk from the millions walking around that don't know they are infected than a known patient.
I didn't know we were this backwards in simple education.
What are the NGO's doing with all these AIDS awareness grants they get ?
Apparently they've done absolutely nothing

yes me thinks it is a precaution because many university students do much more than "casual contacts" - if ya know whattaaa mean  .
Americans take precautions too fyi.

am i being a little too inapprehensive?

On the real, The University should be closed and investigated. The Student union shold look into this issue. even embark on a strike action. The affected students should file a class action suit against the university. The gorvernment should keep an eye on all privately owned institutions of higher learning.

Please don't confuse issue by quoting wrong epidemiological figures you can't substantiate. The issue is not about NGOs or AIDS, it about a private nigerian university possibly changing the rules of graduation midway during the game.

If Oyedipo and co. did not tell students from day 1 that you will not graduate with a positive HIV and pregnancy tests, then no matter how many divine inspirations he must recieved, the action remains illegal and improper.

be careful when you say silly things before you end up sounding like a fool.
