990000][/color] In as much as I agree with this analysis, I need to point out this few facts.
1. You can suspend a student as punishment, to expel is simply callous expecially being a pastor, Jesus Christ was strict but merciful.
2. The people whose offerings and tithes was used to start up the school can't even afford to put there own children in the same school. That is not christlike.
3. I know God blesses men of God( this is subject to interpretation) but when you flaunt wealth in the midst of so much poverty, that is not also christlike. So if we call ourselves christians and Jesus is truly our role model, then we would not act as tyrants..

Had a couple of folks who graduated from the University. That man na zero nonsense man. Like someone said, forget what you see in/fr canaanland, Shiloh and the likes. If you want to see the real Oyedepo, go to covenant university. The man goes about campus looking for the next scape goat and he no dey hear "sorry sir" or "abeg sir" . Same man that preaches forgive and forget. Any small thing na expulsion, if you get luck , suspension and if you get more luck, he go just curse you and tell you to go

Many students are usually expelled without even facing a disciplinary committee. Even if you do, it's a waste of time coz it will never favour you.

Despite all this, you dare not complain or protest else you're a goner. Most CU students actually live in fear and oppression. The man is more of a ruthless dictator.

Sorry! Problem is not about morality of older generation. Exact problem can be traced to your father and mother who should have prevented you with condom when they know they do not have enough morality left to raise you as good chap. Dish your blame to them! Your problem is because you can't even see a single person left in your family to learn morality from. So, pathetic! And abuse of social media and entertainment have made your situation worse.

BadBradley:
from the African experience, most pastors don't know how to run anything other than churches.

From what the students are saying, I won't call it wickedness. What it is ignorance and incompetence. You don't run a university like that.

That's ignorance

The problem with contemporary young generation is that many of you were born into your families when morality vacated your family homes. Being strict is different from being wicked, he is discipling you as his own children so your future can be better, you are here ranting he is wicked.

Many of you just like places you will not be tamed so that you can do whatever you want like forming cult groups on campus, turning campus to Olosho house. If he is not strict and people still allow to do whatever they like, these spoilt rats will still come back here to complain and cast aspersions if any bad thing goes wrong with the school. Go to Catholic schools and see descipline, you these spoilt rats.

Your fathers get money, but lack morality, so when your fathers finally dumb you into CU as correctional center, you begin to misunderstand 'strictness' to ' wickedness' because your fathers failed to even show you '101' of moralities before you left for school because your families lack moralities in the first place. If you like to become wayward and hates descipline, no need of going there, go to federal and state universities and do what you like. Judas Iscariots!

Somebody is sweating to make you great, you call it wickedness! Spoilt rats! Go to volatile areas in North and ask for the meaning of wickedness!

I’m a Christian, I agree totally with your submission, but my question is: what happens when he’s called home? Will his son or whoever takes over as the head of Living Faith Ministries act the same way? I think what should be built is a structure/system that entrenches morality and discipline that doesn’t revolve around one man as the enforcer. I do not pray and I trust God the gat of hell will not prevail against CU but Bishops need mean and women, teaching and non teaching staff that will lay out guidelines in love that will leave no place for immorality: people who will uphold values he’s known for, rather than having him in the news allegedly saying, “expel him,” “he shouldn’t write exams.”

sreamsense:


Olodo! That is what we are saying; spoilt rat! You were born without iota of morality. Did the school just decided to expel you? Why did you choosed to be disobedient child? Is it not the same rules and regulations that are their for all other students like you to obey?

Why did you do otherwise and choosed to be Judas Iscariot instead while other students obeyed simple rules that became torn in your own flesh? If they lack morality in your own home and your parents failed to teach or show you morality; and you grow up to see abnormality as normallity; sorry, CU will have to do extra work to bring morality to your senses.

If you don't want discipline, do the right thing like other well behaved students or tell your parents to withdraw you to where they lack displine. Church can't compromise standard because of over spoilt child like you. Ordinarily in UI, which is a federal university, a final year was asked to repeat a year for wearing jeans (and not corporate dressing) during his final defense and nobody changed it.

Discipline is not the end of life, is to make you come out as better person if you change your way for better, otherwise, you harvest the opposite later or sooner, then, you will understand better why they don't want you to choose way of perdition

I beg to disagree with you. There's a way you discipline students, especially those in higher institution that will make them submit to instructions not by being forceful.

Place yourself in the shoes of the parents of students who were expelled because they didn't show up with their Bibles ( according to the above). How would you feel? That may have been part of the rules but couldn't there be other disciplinary action instead of expulsion? Was it explicitly stated in the rules that a student would be expelled for not going to the chapel with a Bible?

You're being overly insultive here in a bid to defend him. You even went as far as insulting their parents as lacking morality. That's so out of line Bro. He might have good intentions but his actions, if true, were clearly excessive.
Even Jesus who shed His blood doesn't act like that if not we all would have been Christians by now though in a zombie manner.

You clearly do not understand how mentally damaging these actions are even if done by a parent.

Some of these students would never want to hear anything about Jesus again. That is not what Jesus would want. He wants men drawn to Him with love not away from Him.

I know no one is perfect and he may genuinely believe that he could get them to Christ like that but from these 'call-outs', did it work that way?

May the Lord help us all as Christians to represent Him in love at all times as He did for us. It may seem difficult with teenagers especially but we receive wisdom.

Some mistakes are fatal, one may not be alive to learn from them not to talk of growing from them. Is better atimes to learn from experience of others guilding you into right life experiences. God himself wants people to obey their parents, elders and authority. Somebody that ignores teaching from homes, schools and elders not to steal what doesn't belong to him no matter how small; he/she may not leave to learn from his/her own practical experience the day he/she is meted with jungle Justice in public place for stealing N10 pure water in the market

sweetmelanin:
I will never forget how he slapped that girl because she said "I wish for Jesus" while in his barbaric mind he heard "I witch for Jesus" smh... I remember discussing with my cousin back then who defended him with his life and we fell out bitterly over that issue.

Few years later, that same cousin got expelled from Covenant uni in his final year over a trivial issue! All the money spent on school fees wasted. He had to start from scratch at another university.

This experience made him hate Nigerian-christianity ... he's borderline atheist now.

Nigerian pastors are demi-Gods who can do no wrong in the eyes of their congregation. Wicked and arrogant to the core!

Excuzeme:


With all your noise about "morality", you still have to be the first to insult his parents?
I that how far all the "Slaps and Curses" in C.U trained you ?

You have been all over the place cursing and screaming at anyone with a contrary opinion, as if Pastor Oyedepo paid you to come here and defend him (I know most Religious Fanatics and Zombies dont need to be paid, before they act out their mental defects) but your own deserves special commentary.
Pot, calling the Kettle, Black!

sreamsense:


You should have shown us practical examples of ways you have used personally on how to descipline students and not just talking theory here. Talking is cheap, everybody can talk. Show us practical example of how successfully you have trained your children morally first for better society before you talk of another children here. If you want to leave in "Rome", you must learn how to obey Roman laws and regulations.

You will not teach Roman how to adjust their laws to favor you because they never forced you to leave with them. Private schools can take any law to be 'Capital punishement'; going to CU, you know you are going to church's owned school, not going with your Bible to chapel (as you do carelessly at home in the presence of your parents when going to churches) will never be tolerated.

They can decide to make it their capital punishement', you will not be the one to dictate to them not to make it capital punishement'. Their laws were read to your ears when you entered if you can not abide, leave, they never forced you. Go to where they allow it if that is your problem, CU is a church based, it can not compromise standard because you want what you called freedom.

Why do you have to disobey the same laws that many others in your class abide by? It means you have problem and if it is not corrected on time, it may become a disaster for you. Imagine somebody stealing N10 pure water instead of begging the owner, CU is trying to correct the person the assignment his/her family members failed to teach him; they are here ranting is wickedness because of N10 pure water.

The day he/she steals the same N10 pure water in public, he may be meted with jungle Justice that may lead to his/her death. Problem is not weather CU expel you because of pure water, the problem is why did you have to steal what doesn't belong to you irrespective of weather it is small or not?

...And you who know how to run university; why can't you float your own university and show us practical of how you will run your own well? Go back to work, work harder, raise money and setup your own university successfully first before coming back here to tell us your own success story. Theory is different from practical! You are still talking from poor man mentality. If wishes are riches, all beggars will ride best cars before night today

Show us how you train well your own children first in moralities (to be a blessing to society) before you even come here to talk about university administration. Many people who can not even raised their children well in moralities for better society will come here to talk and teach someone who has been a symbol of success and blessing to others around the world in his own way.

As few waywords are complaining, uncountable numbers of students are thanking God for helping them to pass through CU and now blessing to societies in their working places, private establishments, political space etc in moral, intelligence and characters. Those small percentage complaining are Judas Iscariots who became unturned cake at homes, schools and religion places after several attempts to repackage them for better society failed

Learn to address issues raised. Stop personalizing issues.

With the above, I wonder what would have been your reactions if you were in the place of Jesus when they brought the adulterous woman, encounter with the Samaritan woman or even with Peter that denied Him.

If Jesus were to always issue 'capital punishment' for our sins, how many would be left standing?

Now concerning the theft of sachet water, as much as I agree that stealing is outrightly wrong, how does laying curses help the student become better in the society?

It's a problem when you forcefully try to change people from without. Jesus worked on transformation from within. It is more effective and lasts.

The foundation for every Christian institution should be love even in discipline. Consider the secondary schools established by missionaries in the late 50's and early 60's, they were disciplined but they loved the students. Go and ask those who attended those schools at the time. The discipline was at par with the offense.

I read above where a former student stated that some of them committed suicide due to the excessive discipline. Oh! How sad. This is part of the mental health effect I mentioned earlier. Some others do not go to this extent but suffer in other ways.

I understand that his intention may be good but these extreme methods of discipline is clearly not working. Since you're a spokesman for the organization here, I'll advise that you relay these and get experts in human behaviour and engage the Jesus principles to draft laws that will indeed be effective to a larger number rather than a few who are just obeying out of fear of having the sledge hammer on the head.

May the Lord help us all.

I should stop personalizing but you are quoting one person here. I have told you to come out with your own practical example and stop talking theory. Why is it that only people you see and have as friends are the one talking negatively about CU? Show me your friend and I will know whom you are! Like you, like your friend! You have lots of people with positive testimonies more than negative ones, yet only negative friends move with you.

Is something not questionable about your character? Anyway, to avoid being punished or what appear to you as curse, do one thing. Obey! Don't teach them what they should do or not, rather, adjust to their systems or tell your parents to change your school to non-despline schools . If you want to leave in Rome, learn to obey Roman laws and regulations, and don't expect Roman to change their laws to suit you.

Are u talking about Islamic sharia or the sharia of the western media.
Read about sharia first to see if u can critique it. The western media spread evil tales about Islamic sharia & expectedly, some gullible bigots swallow it hook line & sinkers.

Sharia represent fairness to which people have when dealing with one another.

It demand that u are truthful & not to give false testimony.

It encouraged love for humanity.

It recommended that a criminal be punishment appropriately to serve as deterrent to others.

Only criminally inclined mindset with hate the sharia
