SammieJayh:

Not in this case because its clearly a Christian school and its indicated in the handbook that chapel defaulters are liable to face expulsion.

So by default if you arent a christian, you apply at your own risk and must bend to their rules(doctrines). So its not even forceful indoctrination(case no dey here)

If I attend Al-Hikmah, I'm expected to go to the mosque.
My aunt turned down a Qatar visa a few years ago because she couldn't live by their rules.

If you don't want indoctrination, then go to ABUAD, AUN, BAZE, Turkish Nile, Elizade e.t.c. and don't come here wailing about CU.

HRHQueenPhil:
their website has all their rules written dere, u can go and read it, hairstyle and grooming is very important there. before students apply to the school, go and read dier by laws. dats why banks are defrauding customers becos dey wont read d terms and conditions

SammieJayh:


NUC can't even regulate CU's fees when they clearly know how much it costs to run a school and there are even schools with 3 to 5 times the fees of CU.

WinningSun:


maybe you should read the case on Rosa park V the state of Alabama.

have you heaerd of anything called civil disobedience.

or you're just another educated mugu

eodavids:


This issue has no similar ingredient with the case you are citing.

Are you, in your own educational/legal prowess trying to equate normal and reasonable school regulations with racial segregation-induced bus driver nonsense

Oh common!

SpoiltVirgin:
This is not going anywhere. They did not force you to apply to Covenant University

WinningSun:


oh so a case of human rights breach being committed within an institution that is located in a lawful country is bull shot. ok

I hear you.

J2381:
So you're telling me their rule(s) supersede that enacted by the NUC? Or they (Covenant University) didn't follow NUC guidelines when establishing their university?

So can we see where it's indicated in their school rule book that chapel defaulters will be expelled?

SammieJayh:

And please tell me the rules enacted by NUC.

I owe you a beer

XaviDayo:



Lobatan.... Government can sit with these institutions and come up with a workable plan as regards fees so the citizens pay what can be termed fair to both the students and institution.

U get point sha

MrRichmond:


beer in Cannan land?
it's like you want your dick to be chopped off

SammieJayh:

You should know that RIGHTS CORRELATE WITH DUTIES AND THE DUTIES OF THESE STUDENTS BEGINGS WITH OBEYING THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF CU.

Its your opinion that a right has been infringed upon. But, I find it insufficient to claim that right to carry bushy hair is one of the "Human Rights"

Do not trivialize human rights. These matter does not fall within the recognizable ingredients of human right violation.

SammieJayh:


And which of them has covenant university broken?

HigherEd:

I just think that our brand of Christianity in Nigeria is very loveless and strange. And I am beginning to see and get tired of it myself.


The privileges and goodwill the early missionaries enjoyed due to their selflessness and love is being eroded today by several misdeeds of the Nigerian church. That lack of self regulation has put members constantly on defense either trying to defend the pastors, schools or the church as a whole.

I remembered how one of my friends who had to drop out of Covenant for academic reasons promised not to go to church again, since according to him all the services he has attended compulsorily in CU was going to compensate for a life of no more church. He left for Canada to continue schooling. But I doubt the guy has ever stepped into church ever since...

Covenant is not the first Christian school so they should calm down abeg. Yonsei is one of the three most reputable universities in South Korea and is a Christian university but the school focuses on sharing, community service and volunteering... How about CU starts focusing on love and tolerance too, because Christianity without love is unrecognizable.

HigherEd:
Covenant University's Track Record Of Abuse And The Irresponsibility Of National Universities Commission

Covenant University today has become the epitome of religious oppression, mockery and is proof of how terrible the Nigerian educational space can get if not well regulated.

Today we witnessed possibly hundreds of the so called "Kings and Queens of Hebron" having their hair scrapped to humiliate and shame them for not bringing bibles to Church. Worse still, is that the instrument used in scrapping the hair of possibly hundreds of students was not safe as they use it on students after students without visibly sterilizing it.

It saddens me that an institution with so much potential to become one of Africa's best universities has decided to go this path of oppression and senselessness and the National Universities Commission is complicit in allowing this evil happen unchecked, by failing to protect the rights of Nigerian students or creating regulations preventing them from oppressing students.

The irresponsibility of NUC not only shows in their lack of desire to protect students of private universities but even students of public universities who have also been subjected to ridiculous treatments in their universities

As a nation we've failed our people in the public education system and we are equally failing our people in the private educational system. We've failed to check the educational activities of our religious organizations not minding the oppression and sometimes, indoctrination that happens silently in those organizations. We've made higher education an all comers affair without putting in regulations binding church or islamic universities from doing just as they like. I hope we would not wake up someday to realise an entire segment of the population of the country indoctrinated thanks to our nonchalance.

It is time for NUC to do better by creating a comprehensive guideline for Private universities which would prevent students from being forced to go to chapel or mosques, attend prayers or unofficial meetings and equally scrutinize the handbooks of all universities making sure it doesn't violate the constitutional rights of students.

For purpose of emphasis and clarity there is no section of Covenant University's handbook of 2013-2017 where it is written that students hair can be scrapped with an unsterilized equipment because students refused to bring bibles to church.

This is also a wakeup call to students of Covenant university to challenge Covenant over their non constitutional behavior in a federal high court over the public health risks they were subjected to by Covenant University. By HigherEd

J2381:
You refuse to tell if the rules of Covenant University supersede that of NUC?

SammieJayh:


your link didnt list any rule, it only demanded for the school's philosophy and objectives, then I saw a place that requires a draft of the university's law.

tayoccu:


you have no idea how fast rule evolve there, it's almost impossible to graduate from that school without getting into trouble

HigherEd:

Thank you yes I plan on building a ranking system and its something I am currently working on with some other guys.

SammieJayh:


I see your point now.

The school is open to all Nigerians, the issue now is having to follow the rules of the institution.
I have a muslim friend who can't attend covenant university(she knows the quality of education there but won't apply) because she cant attend church services...this is the same reason why I can't attend Al-hikmah or Al-qalam because I cant follow their doctrines.

But I can definitely apply to them and get admitted...that's what the clause on NUC's page means.

asuustrike2009:

It is very possible to graduate from there. It boils down to your up bringing and training you had. It is only those that are loose that can really fit in since they might be uncomfortable
