Surely they have to employ adjunct lecturers for a start... I'm not hyping them I'm talking about them because I'm a student there and I know getting grades with money is very very difficult. Though since LMU now has a lot of permanent resident lecturers. What most people think is that money is all it takes for all private universities but it's actually not.
you can't be defending your school and not saying the truth. Besides this schools are christian schools. As it stand it is money money. Once you have your money you are good to go. Grades aren't difficult to get. Why can't you ask your lecturers which school they came from.

you haven't reply well cos you didn't appreciate the public universities that produced the lecturers that's teaching you. Very very bad from you. Well not to worry cos they will be employing public university lecturers. Am asking why is your university employing illiterates lecturers you called here. You don't have any point here. Appreciate the lecturers for their efforts in making you to pass hmmm.

I seriously fought the urge to reply you, but there are things you need to get straight.

Understand that, the CU environment due to the kind of practices spiritually and otherwise will not give room for groos mis-conduct and mis-behaviours of lecturers. So its not the ill-literate lecturers anymore obeying their lusts for failing students, its is an organised environment where rules are followed by all. Therefore, those ill-literates coming from the public universities cant manifest their stupidity and ignorance.

Also bear that some of the students have fought hard to rid themselves of such mentality, of which they are successful for now. Those that remained in the contraptions they came from are now reduced to meagre lecturers in that same contraption.

So, my fellow citizen, the lecturers in CU that are from public universities are not orderly because they want to, its because they had to. Gradually, the bad blood began to flow out of them.

Please mate, ignore them...you cant force them to be bright in life, as a matter of fact the more we try to defend our fees the more they bring up banters against the schl. And it is pure ignorance, most of them just went to schl but are still not educated.

I always replied them initially, but they proved too rebelious in their ignorance and unwillingness to leave it. They love the hardship when it comes to arguing with private unis, but they complain about nigeria when it gets amongst themselves. That my bro, is not only ignorance, it is also a leading path to continued backwardness we are suffering as a nation.

By the time they leave whatever clime they schld at, instead of them to change the environment for good due to their previous experience and willigness to make things properly easy for their fellow brothers or citizen, they'ld rather follow the footsteps they allowed to be imprinted in their hearts by their devil dine-mate lecturers.

CU gets no funding for itself from anywhere unlike their own schl that is opened to the governments pockets. These same idiots, will rule nigeria and still not change anything. But when it comes to hating on their fellow graduates from the private schls when a feat has been achieved, they are always in their war-robes. Cowards like them. Please grow into ignoring them, thats who they are trained to be, you'ld see that as you work with some of them in offices, and businesses.
you will just be repeating the same thing every time. As it stand public universities received much application from students that want to apply for different courses of their own choice. It is when you are pained with a lot of points here that you will saying another thing. Type your points and let everyone reply you back with their point and not insults ok. In most competitions federal universities students do beat private university students hmmmmm. You are already beefing. Make need to go extral mile and make your research about federal universities. It is not the structures at times but the brains and wisdom.

I never said we don't have lecturers from public schools since LMU is just six years... I believe there is no crime in having adjunct lecturers so far we get quality education which is better than not employing them and getting an education which is not up to standard... If they came from public universities they would still deliver what they offer to their students in their schools too just that monitoring is at it's peak and each lecturer is made to work the worth of his /her pay which I believe would benefit the students... And about paying there is no school in Nigeria where you won't find corrupt lecturers doing such just that in LMU what I know is a lecturer doing such is on his/her own because you can walk up straight to the management and report any case of extortion. There have been a case like that before if you know anybody in 2013/2014 set engineering ask about GEC310 lecturer. Also if things were right having a lot of first class students won't be a strange thing since we have a lot of intelligent students. We should never allow ourselves to be subjected to the idea that it's normal for a lecturer to come to class and just give handouts and never come again throughout the semester... It's so wrong it's an abuse of our educational rights which should be protested against and not taken as a norm.

I weep for this nation, that someone with zero knowledge of how things go on in CU can conclude that they all pay for marks. What about your girls that have sex for marks, is that not derogatory enough.

Now on NYSC, is it only CU students that smoke during camp, you are not only poor physically, you are poor at heart and psychologically. You need serious help, and i really feel sorry for your offsprings.

you have no point here. Am asking why do they employ them in the first instance hmmmm. So they should be marking the wrong script with bad conduct and award them with good marks baaaa. You called them meagre lecturers but they are still employing them and still marking your scripts. You are really convincing your self here. If the students performed bad they will fail the students. Yes that's the rule of teaching. Not giving them through money. As it stand your school are still employing federal university lecturers. The ones your university retain are they not these federal university lecturers that taught them to that level niiiiii hmmm. These are the reason why they will be signing MOU with your school. You have no point here.

is it not an insults to the CU management of the products of students that's coming out from your school. A christian school for that matter is producing a cigarette graduate. Please am asking what's the faith of the society. It is only God that will help us. If you aren't been disciplined in CU I think you will be taught outside. Come and see them during the NYSC period.

What's wrong if an adult chooses to.smoke?

They don't sell grade cos there is 0 exam malpractice in covenant. I've seen their products and the standout.

The reason they produce students with such good grades is simply. They are forced to focus on their studies. Just like uni's in the UK.
Also there is no politics about it. Unlike federal and some state Universities, if u earn a 1stclass that's what you'll get.

one thing you don't understand is that the lecturers they employed are graduates who are Ph.d holders and professors who finished from from public universities even some obtained their doctorate degree from foreign countries long time ago when the standard of the education is still good not the crop of graduates we have presently although we still some guys from public universities who are exceptionally good but not all.....

Keep quiet if you didn't understand what you are asking!
Only a fool would not believe that a 3rd class in government uni will bag a 1st class in CU

I remembered when I was in undergrad, in a particular course everybody scored so high in d test. The lowest mark is 26/30. To unknown expectations while everybody is expecting A's, the lecturer had to make further adjustments to our exam questions in order to make the exam questions harder by setting advanced questions we weren't thought! We asked him why he did such to us and he answered that he's meant to lecture us the fundamentals and we to study more in details. Can u experience such in private unis?
In Nigerian private unis, you can easily walk up to the lecturers and talk how to adjust ur scores out with them. That is what u paid for.

so the federal universities that's producing the lecturers that's teaching you there aren't impacting knowledge abi. Abeg swerve. Your reply is totally wrong here. Try harder. As far as Nigeria is concern public universities are impacting knowledge more than the private ones. At least I can see thousands of private university graduates applying for masters in Unilorin every year. At least you can see that public universities are impacting more knowledge.

I know what I'm saying, the rot in the system has given the lecturers in the public universities leeway to do things you can never imagine, I don't mean that the private unis are paradise but the difference is clear, in federal unis a lecturer for a major course would simply abandon his students and go for his personal business only to come back 2wks to exams pack all manner of photocopied handouts and still give you whatever he so wishes as exam, this happened many times over while I was in school, except for a few lecturers with integrity and fear of God. To start with the recruitment of lecturers for federal unis being a federal job is still laden with man-to-man syndrome, and am sure you know when people are absorbed into a system without merit quality suffers. Infrastructure has dilapidated in fed unis to a pitiable extent, otherwise what do you call a federal University of technology without a single working lathe machine, but keeps churning out mech engineers, metallurgical & material engineers, lastly people don't apply for masters in Nigeria to learn something new, or do earnest research, it's just a trend, Nigeria is a society where the system honors certificates over ability, so people apply for masters to grab an extra certificate and improve their luck at making it, not necessarily to learn. Of course apart from the private sector that knows what they want, the public sector would still honour certificates from federal unis over the private ones per protocol, but you and I both know that private unis teach more than public ones, and this is an emergency, something needs to be done and hey, I didn't even attend a private University.

Oga corruption is everywhere. It's even more in the private schools. There are more to this than meet the eyes. You are only speaking from your own observations and perspective. You don't know it all. Those who engage in such act will not tell you what they did. Besides these same graduates today, how many of these First Class can battle it out on academic ground with the First Class in Uniben UI, etc. Even second class upper. The philosophy in private schools is that, they paid heavily for it and should get what they paid for. I call them, glorified private secondary schools.

Before anyone comes to attack CU let's not forget that Unilag produced over 230 first class for this year alone.

And before anyone query the contribution of all these first class degrees to Nigeria pls let us also query the value of UK first classes to Nigeria because at least there are more UK first class recipients in Nigeria than there are those from CU.
TheVictorious were u in CU today?

If you would be sincere to yourself, you would agree that that is an unfair comparison of CU to unilag. Honestly, I was shocked opening this thread last night just to know only a thousand and five hundred were the graduands. Unilag convoked over 6,000 graduands before arriving at that figure. It would get to a time when one of ever five CU graduate finished with a first class honours. This poses a big threat to the value of lower classes of grade from that institution. Graduate with a 2 1 and below may be doomed.

Lmao. grin grin

568+188+322+47= 1,125 Undergraduate students.

188/1125 * 100= 16.7%

So, 17% of their undergraduates finished with First Class.

188+568=756

756/1125 *100= 67.2%

67.2% of their undergraduates finished with either a First Class or a Second Class Upper

Meaning if you attended CU, your chances of finishing with a First Class or Second Class Upper is 67%

Honestly that is changing. I was lectured by many CU lecturers(Phd holders) during my undergrad years. We have more than 200 CU Alumni working in CU already. Secondly many lecturers from ui, unilorin, oau, unilag etc. that were employed years ago with Masters degrees are now Phd holders from Covenant university. For instance one of the top most researchers in the world on sustainable energy research is a graduate of unilorin but took his Phd in Covenant university and now lectures there. So public schools cant really claim him.

As i said this was years ago and they are simple innovations made by students to be relevant to our domestic community. For instance a student came up with using solar power as an alternate source of energy for vulcanizing shops to save cost and make more profit by these local workers in ota. Of course that seems low tech but is very relevant. However, today we have quite a number of patents from CU lecturers themselves with great greater relevance.

I agree with your last statement. But i disagree with the premise that Second class is only under threat in CU. The trends are changing. Even public schools are now awarding many first class degrees. So the entire labour market is now being saturated with excellent results from UK, US Nigerian Private unis and some public unis like unilag.

so because they merit the first class the school shouldn't have given it to them?and that makes uniben better than CU?it means majority of private universities graduates that travelled for masters program abroad who finished with good grades don't merit it and uniben is far better than schools in UK,USA,Germany.etc besides have you checked the latest university ranking by NUC?
