Almost One Million Naira Yearly to study CHEMISTRY in Covenant University



Yet none of them has invented anything.



Not even an ANOINTING OIL.

Making anointing oil wouldn't be a problem for the CU chm department lol. And in fact CU has quite a number of patents registered at NOTAP in addition to ranking top three at the Min of Sci and Tech exhibition since the maiden edition last year. The university has equally had bronze and I think silver for innovation and exhibitions as far as Brazil and south Korea.
On the other hand your federal universities are the poo centers that are subsidized with about 8-10 billion naira each year and with nothing tangible to show for it.

Awesome.... The issue I have is that it is still some deeper life members/catholics that would come to attack the likes of Oyedepo and Adeboye when they build their own big cathedtals. I remember that before deeper life went into building of universities some of their members here on NL criticized and compared endlessly against the rccg's and the likes. Soon enough deeper life got a university and it turned out equally as expensive as that of them Oyedepo and Adeboye. Same with the catholic universities that sprung up. Augustine university might even be more expensive than landmark. Let us stop this I better pass you complex in christianedom!

Sounds like Oyedepo true true.

Bishop Abioye Arriving in Kinshasha and preached in the French speaking church.

While Bishop Oyedepo arrived in Winners chapel Osun, Bishop Abioye also arrived in Kinshasha Congo.

If I apply for a PVC now, will I get it before next year's election? Been at that place twice now at fagba, Lagos and they keep telling me they are done registering at 8am!

Lol this news is three years old!

Hmm that's so sad. They have no reason to feel inferior. There is no proof anywhere in this Nigeria that a university graduate is necessarily better than a polytechnic graduate. And there is no proof that both class of graduates studied anything meaningful to even make a difference. The curriculum for both Universities and polytechnics are both redundant. I don't see myself ever making any dinstinction between a poly and uni grad as an employer.

Said by a man who took 6 months to create a cabinet of redundant and vestigial politicians. A man who claims sluggishness as a core value...

He calls two million Nigerian youths who apply to universities with only 600,000 carrying capacity as "wanting freebies". Has this man who ought to be in an elderly home ever seen hundreds of youth lining up at factories in Ikeja just to work and make 500 naira a day. I begin to wonder what his brain-dead children ever contributed to the development of this country.

They took third behind Brown University...

See questions. With all the noise of private schools being simple blah blah blah.

Lalasticlala come and see o. This thread go reach like ten pages

State universities are the worst category of universities in this country... Poorly planned, badly run and poorly funded. For those who can try taking transfers they should do so asap without wasting much time.

EmagNig:
How well do you know your cousin? Don't be ignorant..Read her profile of her employer's website:
http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Profiles/Motilewa-Chiamaka-Deborah#.WtSekWG-ldg

Are u taking that one serious. They are not related at all.

laudate:
Did those articles carry any peer review? Before any articles are accepted by serious journals, they are reviewed and critiqued by eminent scholars from the same field. Was that done in her case? Just asking.

It must have been. Before graduating as a PhD student in CU, you must have two peer reviewed publications and one conference paper indexed on SCOPUS.

olapluto:
She did PhD for 6 years? I also just checked some of her publications and the journals she published in. I wont want to be a killjoy, so I will say nothing about the publications.
However, Covenant Uni, while ticking the box, is not necessarily doing it right. When you pay to publish an article, then you're sort of buying recognition. I still respect articles published in reputable journals by Nigerian univerisities no matter how scant, to those plenty paid publications.

She is just a graduate assistant lol. There are GAs in public universities that don't even have a single publication to their names.

Pls tell me exactly what is wrong with pay to publish articles? And in what way are they buying recognition?

And no shed didn't do PhD for 6 years. She started in 2014.

The reduction showed that “returning students in the Faculty of Law would now pay N100,000; Faculty of Science, N100,000; Faculty of Social and Management Science, N100,000; Faculty of Education, N80,000; Faculty of Arts, N80,000 with an option to pay twice, that is N50,000 and N40,000 per semester respectively. Final Year students across all faculties are to pay N70,000 with an opinion of paying twice, that is N35,000 per semester.


NANS kicks However, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has rejected the 50 percent tuition fees reduction on returning students to the institution. Its National Public Relations Officer, Idowu Odebunmi, said: “The new arrangement by the state government indicates that the students would still have to pay 200 per cent increase in their tuition fees.”


He urged the state government to consider the plights of the students and their parents by announcing pocket-friendly fees. Also, President of Student Union Government, SUG, of AAUA, Olawale Ijanusi, who announced the new tuition fees, said: “This is the lowest he can go and he urged every individual that they should abide by this.”


In addition, Ijanusi said: “Sequel to this, the union is willing and ready to seek the opinion of students, the final decision of the union lies with the students.” Meanwhile, Vanguard gathered that the leaders of the students have called for a congress to discuss the governor’s proposal and the way forward. The meeting is to hold this week and its resolution would be communicated to the government this week.

As per name. It seems she's both Yoruba/Igbo. But all these tribalism is just irrelevant. That your tribe's person is succeeding doesn't give your own life meaning. Let us face each of our own lives and make a meaning of it.

This Yoruba or Igbo girl would house her Fulani friend but might close her door against a Yoruba or Igbo stranger. Your so called Igbo brother can rob you of your belongings while a Yoruba stranger could be the one saving you from your stranded fate.

Good and evil, Success and failure abounds in all tribes and religions so deal with people as individuals and not groups. Rep your friends and family members irrespective of tribe or religion because they are the ones who would come looking when you go missing...

4kings:
What's the criteria for "top 10", considering not all are ranked by THE?

Well quality of libraries is not part of the criteria used by Times to judge how good a university is. Meaning you can have an iconic library without ranking on times.

barojana:
This isn't the first person I have heard who graduated from the UK to come and do higher degrees in Covenant university. It seems that school is gradually becoming a powerhouse since it now attracts graduates of foreign universities.
They just need to drop religious extremism which they put the undergraduates through and they might be competing favorably with foreign universities. Plus they would be saving Nigerians a lot of foreign exchange...

Lalasticlala FP.

You are sort of right. Covenant wasn't always this conservative tho. I heard it was an issue of cultism nearly rearing its head-some cultists from OAU found visiting their colleagues in CU during the early 2000s that made Oyedepo steer the university on a seclusion, exclusion path.

He banned phones to isolate the students from what he saw as external bad influences, stopped admitting people above 21. And till today Covenant would never take a transfer student from any other school talk more of a Nigerian university.


But the university is gradually liberalising though. These days if you go for an Intl conference in cu you would see hijabis everywhere, from northern nigeria, middle east which was probably not possible sometime ago.

Ejo nitori olorun where did you guys see chiamaka? I thought her name was 'motilewa deborah bolanle'. Well maybe she also bears chiamaka sha. No wonder tho she looks more like a chiamaka than a bolanle

Well in the least his reputation has been forever tainted...
The fact that women don't come out to face their oppressing lecturers is because nigerian universities don't put in place systems where women can feel safe to come out and address these issues. I'm glad for what the whistleblowing lady did. By her single act of releasing the audio she has sent out a clear threat to any other lecturer who intends to exchange sex for marks in the future. The govt however needs to mandate universities to set up mechanisms where harassment is reported and addressed with the victim fully protected from gang - oppression.

The North keeps advancing while the southerners continue to argue who has the best waec results.

Earthbound:
We graduated from the same secondary school!!!!

Really proud of her

Chrisland?

SpoiltVirgin:
I will like to beat her record. Congratulations to her, please did covenant offer her a lecturing job?

Yes they did

jaychubi:
Quote me when u receive sense as u r senseless now

What an irony...you just accurately described your self

nenergy:
How does all these education help our country? So many graduates, professors and professionals, yet we're still under-developed.

Fellow citizens, don't waste your money on higher education. Use the time and money to build value, then society will give you honorary PhD

you ppl do misplaced protest in Nigeria. A person is celebrating her personal achievement and you are talking about Nigeria. Who told you she is a Nigerian citizen by passport sef?

jaychubi:
She bought a PhD shld be d title lol, wake me when we produce one in a federal University

The three universities she graduated from would trump any of your useless federal universities on any level so keep quiet. Abi who in their right senses would study in the UK and return to do an advanced degree in a public Nigerian uni....

chrisbaxtian:
I doubt if she would have been able to get this degree at the university of Ibadan at such a young age. Anyway good luck to her.

Well if she studied in Covenant uni for BA and MA she might not make it at 25 for a PhD because of national youth service year plus CU masters is nearly two years and PhD is four.. But if I am not wrong Masters in UK is just 1 year. That sort of amplified her chances here.

At 25yrs old Deborah Motilewa Bolanle officially becomes Covenant University youngest PhD holder to ever be produced from the University.

The 25 yr old Graduate of Dublin Business School, Ireland(BA), University of Aberdeen, Econs(MA) added another feather to her cap by becoming a PhD holder of Business Administration, Covenant university. She took to twitter and Instagram to celebrate her new feat.
