zeongeon:
The problem with us in Nigeria is that we hate the truth coupled with the fact that we are envious.. The OP stated his claims with fact but we rather remain in the dark.

The people bashing OP if they have the means tomorrow won't even send there kids to the public universities they themselves went to. it's a known truth that the educational system in Nigeria is screwed.

The public universities are only living in there past glory. They can't be compared to CU presently. Go to our public universities and then you will see why the elites either send the kids abroad or to CU.

You know the truth.

that is not true. more than 80percent of CU lecturers are products of FG University and most them enrol their wards into public universities. if u say life is easier at CU, I concur but saying that they are better, I disagree. wait sef, CU isn't even the best in Nigeria according to all rankings and can you compare the number of foreign students in public universities to that of CU (that's if they have foreign students) if truly they are the better, foreigners wont opt-in to FG universities.

10. GOOD GOVERNANCE

Good leadership/ Organization/ Transparency: Well, it is common fact that the performance of any system is determined by her leadership. It is also no news that bad governance is the bane of our federal universities such as OAU and UI. Unlike federal varsities where individuals fight to seize power at all cost and use it to their selfish advantage, to the detriment of the university community; Covenant University has a good, transparent and highly efficient leadership that has “never” witnessed anarchy once. Covenant University has a Board of Regent headed by Dr. David Oyedepo and other principal stakeholders that are also God-fearing men & women of God. These appoint the VC (the head of the university community) who in turn takes decision in accordance with the resolution of the senate. Decisions in Covenant University follow due processes that can never be by-passed by anybody! Unlike majority of our federal school (in which this is more expected of – being a public entity); CU has a working system that is bigger than any individual. The proofs of this are manifested in the following:

• Stable academic calendar: nobody can halt the academic calendar for any reason. From the day you enter, you can check the calendar for the date you will graduate. Unlike OAU and UI that student’s wait for their convocation date to be announced! CU has never shutdown once or even witnessed strikes, riots, etc. since inception. Can we say the same for OAU and UI?

Look at what is obtainable in OAU and UI:

http://pulse.ng/student/university-of-ibadan-varsity-shut-down-indefinitely-over-students-protest-id4966344.html

• Transparency: CU is a very transparent institution. Students' result for instance, cannot be influenced because the checks are computer based and can’t be compromised. The school has windows for everything ranging from course registration to class attendance upload, course evaluation and even result validation. Things ain’t just done haphazardly. Should one miss any of these windows for any reason, senate has to meet to take decision on that case if the reason(s) put forward are strong enough. For example a lecturer that did not upload a student’s result during the uploading window has to apply for do so, with valid proofs. After the close or result uploading window (which take a few days), Uploaded results cannot be recalled by the lecturer; it can only be validated by the student.

• Result validation: Students can request for their scripts to be remarked during the result validation window, and if still not satisfied can request that it should be marked by another lecturer.

• Mail system: Every CU student possess a unique university mail address (which follows a definite and known nomenclature pattern). Students also have their lecturers’ and top management officials’ email addresses. All mails sent to staffs by students are duly replied promptly. When I was in school; even though a number of students went to the VC’s office to discuss with him whenever they had an idea or concern, I hardly did such. I mostly communicated with whoever I wanted to via mail (pics attached).

• Parley and Management meetings: Every semester in CU, compulsory sessions (for students and staff) are held where the students raise their concerns to management to be duly attended to. As far as you are speaking within the confines of the core values; you can even tell the VC what you don’t like about his leadership and how he can improve upon it! Again I doubt such exist in UI or OAU; where students hardly ever assemble in one sitting!

• Core Values and Vision: Yes, CU has core values and visions and run tirelessly with them. Please what is/are the Core value(s) of UI? How about the vision of OAU? Maybe to be Oba Awon University. I hear the students say that a lot.

https://www.nairaland.com/1488315/oyedepo-covenant-university-among-worlds

• Spirituality: This is one core value of Covenant University which stands as an advantage that cannot be over-emphasized. In fact, the main reason for the high degree of transparency is not even the computer checks put in place but because the lecturers fear God. Hence, there is neither favouritism nor partiality in treatment of anyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. No wonder a lot of people that simply went to get education came out of CU with transformation; spirit, soul and body.



When I was in sch, I had a good number of conversations with staff at different levesl (including the vice chancellor); raising concerns that were duly attended to in a surprisingly short time frame. See the pictures that follow for some of those.

how much are you paid for all this?

Biafrarep:
Hey, you n.gbati n.gbati optimist and gulible people of the waste syde. What has your optimism and gulibility achieved for you? The last time I checked, your rotten ZOO of a country has so deteriorated to the extent that you guys are now leaving like refugees in a supposed peaceful country. Hunger & strife has become your lot yet you are still gullible, believing that things will get better. Listen to songs by Fela, Sony Okosun and others about your useless country since the 1970s, 80s and 90s then come back and tell me you are not the most gulible and unreasonable set of people in the whole wide world!

is it your ambode?
stop lamenting like a frustrated fellow *wedont care* Ambode is working, even nnamdi kanu Dahz in prison knows

officialPMN:
Most people think going to a military school has disadvantages or takes a bad toll on children but today on this post I am going to highlight the reasons why going to a military secondary school isn't a bad idea.
1) Discipline
Everyone knows that you can not mess up around uniformed men. They are rules for every activity that goes on in the school and you totally know what an army slap feels like not to talk of flogging so you can not think of going against the rules. In military schools like command secondary school, Discipline is the first word on their motto before knowledge.

2) knowledge
I can confidently tell you that military schools can boast of having the best teachers cause there teachers are carefully selected by the Federal Ministry of Defence yes I said ministry of Defence their teachers are under the ministry of defence not education. So you can be sure of having the best education.

3) Smartness
You can not compare the smartness of a child that attended a military school to other schools. Because while they are busy trying to outsmart a soldier you are busy trying to outsmart a civilian you know the difference. When you spend six years outsmarting a soldier trust me you are totally going to survive on the streets.

3) Barrack Influence
Attending a military school makes you get in contact with barrack peeps as well as the barrack itself. Not everything in the barracks is actually a social vice there is this feeling and vibe that comes from the barracks it grooms you to be tough for the task ahead in the outside world.

4) Easy choice of a career path
When you are in an environment for long it tends to affect your choice of career in the future. Being around the military men makes you see the beauty and importance of their profession so its not always difficult to pick a career.
Too be continued.....

rawpadgin:
this is what u get wen u appoint a man who doesn't know sh1t about sports


before u appoint someone as a minister sport, he/she must know a lot about sports


instead of this clown to be developing sports like lawn tennis, rugby, cricket etc.

he is gallivanting upandan

for crying out loud, he is the minister for YOUTH and sport, not just sport. a larger percentage of those on nysc are youths, so don't attack him cos tz part of is work.
when u wanna criticise, do that constructively

Tinubu betrayed the South.

He should either make a public apology to Jonathan/ Glorious Southerners or keep quiet

Tonyebarcanista

can u pls give a reason y he shud apologise?

As We All Know That Agriculure Is The Next 'big Thing' In Nigeria And Many Youths And Entrepreneurs Are Tending Towards Agriculture. A Lot Of Youths Especially Undergraduates Dont Know How To Go About Setting Up A Farm Or Even How To Farm, What To Plant, How To Market Farm Product Etc
There Is A Need For A Sorth Of Mentorship Or A Free Practical Training For Undergraduates (even If It All About Working With U At Your Farm For Free)
Please, If You Have A Farm And You Are Willing To Train A Youth Or On Any Field In Agriculture Or Mentorship, Kindly drop Your Mail, Phone Number, Area Of Specialization And Farm Location
