I attended babcock uni(Even though i suspect you are referring to covenant uni in your write up) where the church services are held on saturday. I attend church on sundays prior to babcock,but i was fully aware of the practice in the institution since its owned by the seventh day adventist. You must attend services three times a week including the Saturday church service regardless of your religious standing. You can then choose to go for your own church service on sunday or jumat on friday outside the university premises.

Thats the rule. To make a compelling argument that such rules shouldn't be in place is difficult and not to abide to such rules is also impossible because you are fully aware before admission.

Religion is a dicey issue in Nigeria. Even with constitutional provision against forcing people to practice a certain religion approved by the school authority, it is often not the case in real life.
and the government both at the federal and state are docile in helping the matter.
even now.. Most public schools in sokoto state and zamfara makes it mandatory for pupils and students to garb themselves in hiJab Irrespective of ur believe. And this is done with approval from the ministry of education.

Interesting. However, if you know you can't conform, don't go to such schools. I as a Christian will not go to a school where the hijab is enforced, and I'm sure the vice versa pertains to the muslims.

If you can't conform, find an alternative because most private schools in Nigeria are built on the foundation of their own unique ideologies.

errm, what if there are other admirable features of the school like standard facilities of which other schools don't have.

Would you because of this not go to such schools?

From the name itself it is an Islamic school. Why would a Christian attend Islamic school and still be complaining of their mode of dressing. It's like a Muslim complaining of going to church forcefully in the Covenant University. Apart from educating some of the schools are set up to uphold Christian or Muslim morals/values.

The most religious nation and still no love for one another. No respect for human dignity and rights. A lot of people on this forum claim to know Christ but they hate their fellow Nigerians. Some say we are Yoruba or Housa, and others say they are Igbos. Which way are we? So many peopls come to the forume to preach tribal bigotry instead of reasoning together on how to move our country forward, and also compete with the western world. When we leave Nigeria people see us as Nigerian and not Igbos or Yorubas. When a certain ethnic group commit a crime, they do not see ethnic groups but Nigeria. Is it not funny how some westerners might call one of us a black African nigga and it will hurt, but back home in Nigeria where we should come together and stand up for each other we are claiming how our tribe is better than others? This is a total shame. What good example are we laying for next generation? Why are we praying to God for a way forward while all we do is lay a foundation of hate, anger, superioriority, tribalism, and disdain? All tribes commit crimes. All tribes have one problems or the other. God hates this division nonsense. Same person was telling me I must be born again at the same time cursing one particular group out. God is not a fool for bringing people with totally different customs and tradition together. Until we come together and love one another should we reach a destined place God has for our nation, Nigeria. Please spraid the word, speak against tribalism, stand against ethnocentrism.

A religion that was handed down by the slave masters can never improve the lives of the ex slaves but keep them tied and married to their chains.

Christianity happens to be the ancient Mithra religion anyway. Mithra was an European religion long before Jesus and his punishment on the cross. I hope it gets wiped out from Africa soon

This is what is limiting Nigeria, too much believe in religion. and some supernatural beings... it limits the progress of science and intellectual accomplishments, in a country where there are more pastors than scientifically literate people, this is why we will always lag behind the West and Asian countries because we waste time worshiping none existence supernatural beings than studying and pursuing critical and verifiable knowledge. religion is too inconsistent and contain too much unverifiable information, but a science fact is always true when the exact situations are replicated. I want religion out of schools (practice your religion with your god, in your own time) and real science education for Nigerians.

Do you know in america racist white people use the bible to justify racism and why black people should be slaves to white people? religions are fill with fundamental problems and the idea's contain within them are too primitive of human societies in the 21st century. before now did you know that past pope's ordered the killing of numerous people because they believed that the earth revolved around the sun? calling it a crime against god. but today it is taught in schools as a fact.

Christianity these days na wah oh.
Religion as a whole is really sickening.

it is not a sin as long as it is not listed in the Bible or Quran as a SIN.
the common sense of RIGHT or WRONG, GOOD or BAD don't seem to exist anymore.


people whose gathering only seem to be engineered to judge each other and show off on self righteousness.

Not when students were not informed of the compulsion in adhering to the school's religion doctrines.

In most cases, the students didn't know they had to strictly abide by the school's doctrine before they were admitted.

Besides, the primary objective of schools should be to impart knowledge and good character.
I disagree. Schools like Covenant and Babcock give students and parents alike orientation before they pay the acceptance fee. Besides, aren't they supposed to conduct due diligence before accepting the offer of admission into schools like these?

Ok. But what exactly is your grouse? From the little I know about the religious Institution, it is certain they were fore-warned. They read the rules and signed to abide by them solemnly. Unless you prove that they are doing it under duress and they are totally oblivious of the "rules" from day1 then there is no issue here.
OAU then (not sure about now) was acclaimed the most religious campus in the world because students (whatever religion and denomination) find expression and are free to be what they wanna be. Isn't it supposed to be encouraged? I mean, their freedom of association I think religion is personal and should be left like that.
