Elxandre: Your reasoning baffles me really.
I don't know why anyone would compare the law of gravity to any man-made laws!

Talking about the laws of the land, why was Gay marriage legalized in different part of the worlds?
The simple reason is because people concerned thought the measure made no sense, and they protested against it.
Believe me within 30 years, African countries will legalize gay marriage.

What I'm just trying to say is that, no law cannot be changed, as far as it's uncomfortable to a significant group of people in that particular society.

Its stressful arguing with you because we are not on the same frequency.

I believe in change for the right cause, while you believe in conforming to the rule regardless of how uncomfortable it is.
You don't believe in the right cause, you believe in your own definition of the right cause.
Take it or leave it, phones restriction has helped CU.
Ask CU graduates if they regret the phone rule. I'll bet they'll say NO

But you didn't even attend CU..How do you know what is comfortable for them??

You are taking this thing too personal for someone that has never been in the CU system, mostly out of ignorance.

Rules don't have to be comfortable, that is why they are RULES !!! mate. They are there to mould you, discipline you and bring the best out of you.

You don't see the best of GOLD until it passes through FIRE ...

SO KEEP CALM !!

Elxandre: you are a joke!cheesy
humans can't fly?

That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you!
It made no sense to the white man that Man couldn't fly, so they made airplanes cheesy

Your analogy makes no sense, since other students use mobile phones, so don't give us the Humans don't fly BS because that is a natural disability of man which can't be challenged enough!
Your own rules were made by ignorant African men, It can be changed! grin

cheers bro!
Exactly My Point, the white men were smart, after studying the laws of gravity which they couldn't change, they sought an ALTERNATIVE.

You cannot tell the head of a house how to rule his household. You have no jurisdiction there, that is why you have an ALTERNATIVE to leave that household.

Ignorant lad, it has nothing to do with Africans. The same African men made the laws that bind your actions in this country (if u reside here). Why don't you disregard the laws of this country and see where it gets you into.

Elxandre: This is exactly what I dislike about you guys..
Don't tell me you couldn't address the other paragraphs in my comment!

Yes, you read the rules before becoming a student, but it doesn't mean you have to deny the simple fact that the rule makes no sense.
If an 18 year old child won't teach himself how to delay gratification, and still has to be forced, that child hasn't really grown.

The funny thing is students of schools like havard, MIT etc. all have busier schedules laden with real life experiments (e.g veryfing the speed of light) yet they still use mobile phones and are known as some of the most distinguished students on this planet.

So please tell me why you have to make life difficult unnecessarily for young people, just because you are an old school autocratic personality? (the founders I mean)

let me tell you guys something.
You keep ranting about the rules being already there, but what is the purpose of your education and your enlightenment if you can't challenge meaningless rules?

Rules are made to be amended to resonate with sensibility.


I still remember the viral pic where a boy was made to kneel in front of the writing board in CU!
Is that really the chicken personality we desire for our youths? When his mates are already CEO's elsewhere!
A Rule is a Rule, the fact that it doesn't make sense to you doesn't change the fact that it is modus operandi. We cannot use your own judgement of the law as a yardstick for what is good or not. There are people who are comfortable with it, that is why you have a CHOICE bro.

Take for instance, the laws of a country differ from others, it doesn't change the fact that it is binding on citizens and individual who reside in that country.

If you don't like it, you can migrate to other countries where it is suitable for you. The laws of the land are constituted by the people of the land to observe law and order.

Now, does it change the fact that people can migrate elsewhere and still adapt to other laws in other countries. Then where did you get the assumption that CU graduates can't fit into the real world. The irony is that the laws actually prepare you for the real world.

Whether o not they use phones in Universities on Mars and Venus, it doesn't change the fact that the management of CU have decided to do it the other way round citing it will help the university community. And frankly speaking, it has helped.

You would have made sense if the rule was hindering progress in the school. But apparently, the school has been making waves in different spheres based on its founding doctrine and emphasis on discipline.

Now, I think you need enlightenment.
Does it make sense agreeing to the terms and conditions of a contract, and then challenging it later when you were not forced to enter that agreement.

Its different when you challenge unfavourable laws of a country, becos you were born into that country and you didn't choose where you would be born into, you didn't have a choice.

But the case of a school, you applied to it fully aware of your actions, even went further to take POST UTME and pay tuition. Then coming later to complain is rather bizarre and absurd.

As for the Chicken Personlities, I suggest you take a census on CU graduates with your so called "Chicken Personality and come and give us a breakdown here, if u see one. Its like saying because they sell handouts sometimes in public schools, all the students will fail. Does it make sense to you huh

Since you have a passion for changing rules, you can undergo a life long journey to create your institution and implement your NO RULE POLICY !!! Its a free world mate.

Cheers !!!
EducationRe: See Covenant University Mobile Phone Outlaw Undertaking by kibo:
Elxandre: Me blinded by hate?
Friend you are really deluded!

Your second paragraph is so lame!
I'm spending my time searching for mature graduates from CU?
And you have to check the meaning of priority in the dictionary! Man I don't even care if CU exists or not!

As a matter of fact, I once schooled in a private school with exorbitant school fees too. This just tells you that I don't beef private Universities.

I don't hate but I only state observations.
Every time any CU post gets to the front page, a CU student jumps on it and starts being exuberant!

that is outright insecurity!

Harvard students have their mobile phones and super gadgets with them, but we all know how successful they are.
If 18+ students still have to submit their phones just to avoid distractions, how will they handle real life distractions?

Do you know how many students make a living through mobile apps? How can you figure this out if you left your phones ahome?
The Facebook and Twitter accounts you run were made possible as a result of the founders having their tech devices with them in school to test run their inventions.
Just read up on how twitter was established. Phones were the targeted media for this legendary social network.

Just accept it. Yanking phones and gadgets off students is draconian and unnecessary.

Where your immaturity comes in is that, you refuse to accept this simple fact, but keep on beating around null points.

It's a waste arguing with you guys.
Only zombies follow their leaders without daring to speak out against unnecessary measures!
When you read a topic, don't rush to comment, it doesn't show wittiness, it only shows you lack analytical skills.

Try to be logical and sensible here.

1) Does it make sense lamenting about a rule that has been around since inception??
Its like complaining about why humans can't fly??
How come this phone rule is generating so much arguement among pple who are not even students. Think !!!

2) It is a known fact that students are not allowed to use phones before applying, and the school is not forced on anyone.

Every organisation has its own rules and practices in the world which individuals have to comply to as stipulated by authority.

How can I castigate the rule of law of a certain institution when I am not forced to enrol in that very institution.
For every deal, dere is always terms and conditions that apply as a simple agreement to avoid problems and challenges and to uphold the rule of law.

Have you ever wondered why any news about CU always generates hate comments from the external community, even when it is good news??
The fact is that, deny it or not, there is something different about CU that people cannot phathom or understand. Its uniqueness, haven achieved so much in so little time. You know, when pple can figure out how you excel, they resort to prejudice, envy and unnecessary jealousy. The ”NA ONLY YOU SYNDROME”
That is why folks like you are always quick to jump on any CU topic just to castigate the school for no reason, whether good or bad, forgetting no one was under compulsion to enrol dere. Well, trust that CU folks wud always defend their own and are always proud of their root.

Nevertheless, pple cannot still understand why individuals keep on applying to the skul in their numbers.Its because they see something different and special. That's the gospel truth my friend. You can't take it away from them

As per surviving in the real world. There is no need to exaggerate about the real world, the truth is dat the way you make your bed, so you lie on it. Laying the right foundation for your future and preparation is going to be paramount to your success in the real world, not whether you were under rules or not, although the rules are designed to keep you focused. So just cut the crap about CU graduates being immature because of rules.They are countless numbers of CU graduates who are have made it after school so empirically, your assertion is WRONG !!!

Lemme ignore your last paragraph for the sake of Maturity and Sensibility.

Peace !!!

Lemme be honest with u, you are blinded by prejudice and hate becos you lack substance and facts to counter the CU folks.

Maturity is not spending your lifetime looking for a mature CU graduate. It is misplaced priorities on your end.

RomanceRe: Myths About Men, Sex, And Marriage by kibo: 5:59pm On Jul 20, 2014
linearity: If men function chemistry, the way God created them, they will react in the presence of a lady they are attracted to, even born again ones....the difference is the ability to control self. As humans, even spirit filled ones, they could slip and the lady will notice the pressure, but many guys can keep it under control. If as a lady, you don't catch your guy with whom you have not done the deed with fighting to keep himself under control once or twice, he must be a eunuch or something is wrong in the chemistry department.
This is not an explanation for my question, your definition of "react" in this scenario was not what OP was describing, and even your explanation is not convincing enough. So if you dont catch your guy fighting temptations, he is not normal huh This is rather a harsh way to view things. It is very possible to restrict yourselves from making advances. Its a different thing if you express your love through words, hugging, shaking or any other normal gesture, but making advances, NO. It is never a yardstick to measure a guy. It is very possible and normal if you hold strong principles on that.

BTW, this was what OP said,

Sweetlemon: Ha! You obviously do not know jack about men! See, as a general rule, men love sex. In fact, when a man hits on you, he wants sex as part of whatever package he wants from you. Whether na one night stand, side dish, contract, or marriage. If he doesn't, chances are that something is seriously wrong with him.
Refer to the bolded above to buttress my point.

I REPEAT, YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE SUCH ADVANCES TO BE CONSIDERED NORMAL !!!

Sweetlemon: 4. If A Man Loves You He Won't Want To Have Sex Till Marriage:
Ha! You obviously do not know jack about men! See, as a general rule, men love sex. In fact, when a man hits on you, he wants sex as part of whatever package he wants from you. Whether na one night stand, side dish, contract, or marriage. If he doesn't, chances are that something is seriously wrong with him. Babe shine your eyes, if your intending husband has never had an erection while both of you are alone. Ha! lipsrsealed
Even if you do not want to have sex with him until marriage, make sure that chemistry is there. Make sure you see a sign of hot and steamy nights to come after marriage. Thank me later.
I diasgree totally with the above..Explain to me how you came up with such thesis??

A man must not make advances at you b4 marriage, neither is it a yardstick to measure love. Sex is not always priority for everyone and YES, it is not abnormal.

Bro... you are not the only one dat studied Elect. Elect. You were not advicing him, you were telling him he could not do it. When you advice someone in this context, you tell him the pros, cons and requirements involved in taking a particular decision, not because it is difficult. You dont doubt the persons ability, rather you tell him what he has to do to succeed.

Otuabaroku: @Kibo, I do not intend to scare him or make Elect EElect look very difficult to do as I have been there before and I found it easy compared the course I did previously. I was simply letting him know what it takes to succeed in Elect Elect degree not only possessing repairing electronic or computer gadgets skills.
I wasnt referring to you, i was actually telling him to take your advice...if u notice my quote, i told him to take the one below. It was the one above i was against.
EducationRe: . by kibo: 6:42am On Jul 19, 2014
Guitarlife: @Op from someone who has a bsc and almost through with an msc in elect elect eng. please do not enroll for elect eng. I repeat do not enroll for elect eng. I know you love the discipline but believe me you will wish you took to my advice after you are in.
I am not trying to scare you. The truth is that elect eng. is one of the most diffucult disciplines out there.
Are you judging OP by how difficult it is or by his determination to succeed? @op its not difficult, its demanding. If you are good in maths, physics and futhermaths. Then its a viable option. There is no point exaggerating unnecessarily. Nothing is impossible, with proper time management and the right association, you would make it. Dont let anyone deter you from pursuing your dream because of how difficult they claim it is. I would advice you to consider the opinion below if you are considering a second degree in Elect Elect. It hits the nail at the head.

Otuabaroku: Concerning doing electrical and electronic engineering or computer engineering, It is not all about repairing phones and computers. The most important thing you need is physics and maths. You need them to do well in those two courses as you will be involved in designing as Computer or electrical eng.
So if you are convinced that you are good on those 2 subjects you can go ahead and study it in University. If not, you might be facing the same problem you are currently facing now mid way into the degree programme.
Best of luck while making your decision.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Lack of exposure and Illiteracy which is worse off? by kibo:
It depends on the level of exposure.

Any literate person would definately have some level of exposure and can still fit in the general sense despite his/her level of exposure.
On the contrary, an illiterate cannot mortgage his/her level of exposure for knowledge and would find it harder than the former.

Although when someone has gained exposure, he/she is likely to acquire some knowledge, so the arguement is kind off contradictory as both go hand in hand but are not the same.
It will still boil down to the level of exposure involved.

Considering all factors, i will pick Illiteracy.

I just want to get general opinions on this cos is getting quite rampant..
You see, there is much to conquer, the job of conquering is everyone's responsibility. There are also problems to solve in the auditing field.

Mind you, there are also accountants and business chaps in the engineering industry, there is every possibility that they also can solve problems there based on experience and passion for the job. No one is limited. Your course of study is not always the deciding factor for your career.

The point is that anywhere you find yourselve, you can profer solutions to the challenges there irrespective of your discipline. The question of innovation might be a challenge in adequate resources, proper environment, corruption, et al. Not a shortage in manpower.

What do you mean by stooping low?? Its a career, school is primarily for enlightenment and social development, you dont always end up in your line of study, as long as you are giving value or contributing. It is perfectly accepted. Without sentiments, the nature of engineering positions individuals with multiple prospects.

Why cant an engineer with an MBA manage a firm, or one with ACCA qualifications dive into the accounting field. As long as the pay is comfortable and they return value for money, there is no stooping low there.

The labour market is dynamic nowadays, not a fixed one. You have to position yourself properly to fit in. Moreover no field is inferior to another, thats a wrong notion.
In a proper economy, there is effective division of labour.
