mrryon: Why unnecessary pretence? So an Engineering student should wear suits to field? Or you expect a Physics students to wear suit to class. Even for a student in administration, wearing a suit everyday is out of place. Moderation is key and suspending a student for double piercing is the height of foolishness. I suppose you would have suggested the adulterous woman in the bible be skinned alive and deep in salt solution to dehydrate to death than Jesus telling her to go and sin no more. 4 Likes |

ekolina: Our 33 year old Registrar was a pioneer student. He holds a doctorate In human resource management and he is in line to become one of the youngest professors in the country. If you had a budget of 700,000 to cover tuition, accomodation, books, library, and internet fees, would you send your child abroad when a university in Nigeria offers same teaching methods with most Universities abroad with an added advantage of raising a young, mature, thoroughly educated and vice free individual? I had admissions to study abroad but i chose here, even if some of the rules are quite unnecessary, i am in love with their vision, so i am committed to obeying those unnecessary rules. Thank you |

GboyegaD: No body says you should wear suit every where. The dress code is corporate which means you where a proper shirt, tuck it in, wear a proper plain trouser and shoes, and a tie. Most of the structures here are fully air conditioned so you cant complain about heat. An engineer doesnt need to dress corporately to field, thats why he has a lab coat or engineering kit, and corporate dressing is only enforced during office ours and offiucial functions, for the rest of the day, any decent dress would do. My brother, do you now understand the dress code? 1 Like |

@ OP, to you all the offence you mentioned are trivial. But to the school authority, they are not. Every school have it's own rules and regulations. If the students were not ready to abide by those rules and regulation, they shouldn't have chosen covenant university as we have several universities in the country. Remember that those student promised and sign the doted lines to abide by the school rules and regulations before matric. |

My problem with you is that you limit yourself to your world. I left the university just four years ago and I have class mates who about rounding up their Phd in schools around the USA and Canada and they are not up to 30years. These are guys doing phd in engineering, you are here making noise about phd in human resource management. My believe is that a university student should be allowed to discover himself. I work with one of the leading EPCI company in the world, here you see ladies and gents with tattoo all over their body, ladies wearing leggie and singlet to the office and that has not affected their performance on the job. FYI, I ve cousins in CU but their attitude is not better than we that went to federal uni mrryon: |

eleko1: Oh sorry! i didn't know you are old enough to be my ancestor... what do you mean by"if you want to dress like a masquerade,you can go to a public school" you are implying that we lack discipline...and i just mentioned few stuff that are not allowed in the school. And you are hear ranting like your life depends on it. don't border replying someone that doesn't think clearly ok? if you do,then i give up! |

ekolina: Which one of you friends is a registrar? He got his PhD at 28. Who says a PhD in Engineering is harder than a PhD in HRM?, The students here discover their selves within prescribed rules. The tatoos dont affect their Job performance, but honestly, what is your first impression of a girl in tats and leggings? Would you employ a lady with visible tats, leggings and piercing to work in your company as a receptionist when you open it? As for your cousins, you cannot use them as a yardstick to judge the remaining 7 thousand of us, most of which have been positively imparted. My friend, discipline, dedication, integrity and trustworthiness is what Nigeria yearns for, and even if CU does it in an annoying way, at least, they still try. i have no problems with Federal universities, my problem is with he who thinks CU has to be secular to be acceptable 2 Likes |

OP, you sound so bitter over simple enforcement of school bylaws. Covenant University was founded by a church. Now do you expect the school to run on secular rules? The reasons for suspension that you are making us see as trivial actually mean a lot to a Christian educational institution. It isn't a secular school. Is it? There is no need flogging a dead horse or trying to make news out of nothing. Let the school deal with their wards according to their internal laws. If you want to pierce 1000 holes in your ears, simply stay away from that school! And if you cannot obey the "wicked" (OP's own word) bylaws of any institution, seek education elsewhere! |

GboyegaD: Dude, even the white professors here follow the dress code, the Chancellor himself follows the dress code, the various lecturers and professors obey the dress code, so the students should do same. Even in banks, they obey dress codes, does that stop them from being adults? In the Corporate business world, they have dress codes, does that stop them from being adults? Even in your church, you follow a dress code, does that prevent you from being an adult? 1 Like |

GRAND30: Really? When did piercing of ears become a Christian thing? All I can say is moderation is key in all we do and moderation in itself is relative. Suspending a student over an issue such as that is excessive as the suspension doesn't imply the hole is closed thus, it hasn't solved the issue on ground. I expect they handle issues a better way than they go about it most times. These are reasons why we have many pretenders in our churches and it will only get worse should we continue this way. 1 Like 1 Share |

mrryon: That professors wear it doesn't suggest students must. And why the emphasis on white professors? More so, where is your location as most professors I know are not too keen about dressing and is it all the professors that wears shirt and tie all year round? |

GboyegaD: Weren't these rules spelt out to them at the point of entry? Why go to a place when you know you can't keep their laws? My opinion is simple: obey the rules or keep off! So many schools here and abroad offer as good or even better education than they do with very relaxed and secular laws. You've got money. You've got brain. You've got choice. Use it and stop whining! 1 Like |

Good u got my point, you shouldn't cuz of a few students from federal uni run it down. CU is doing a good job no doubt but I am still of the believe that, one shouldn't be restricted in any settings called university. federal uni also got dress code, at least I can say of my school. why will I recruit a lady with tattoo as a receptionist, where appearance is key. mrryon: |
