Angelfrost:
Why get married if singlehood has a stronger appeal to you?!!


Becoming a statistic in the name of belonging to society's respectable class while trading your sanity has to be a very dumb thing among so called learned people.

she's right. So many women aren't happy in their marriage. There are so many happy singles than married women.

Cursive:
85% of the women she knows which is not surprising considering her profession.

She's absolutely right. Women are willing to leave their marriage if they can get financial backup. I mean most average Nigerian women though

CockPit:
But the graduates spent 4 years already in school at a great cost.

Yes sure. There are many skills after learning you still need capital to set it up. A fashion designer needs shop, sewing machines, electricity etc. A carpenter need either shop or space and his carpentry instruments. Although they can be patronizing them by their close associate without having a shop, but they won't be recognized and they will struggle to fend for themselves. Having a skill is crucial but doesn't guarantee success, expecially in today's Nigeria.

BRATISLAVA:
Not all homeless people have mental health issues. There are a lot of single, childless people living in multidimensional poverty. Having many children doesn't determine anything.

There are also a lot of people with many children who are middle class and above.

having many children in Nigeria is equal to POVERTY

CockPit:
I know millions of graduates with zero skills working 30k jobs per months for the past 10 years.

I also know successful trades people who are doing well and taking care of their families.

Bottom line is the skill to solve real life problems which most graduates don't have unfortunately.

There are weddings every weekend and people sew new clothes. Car break down that needs to be fixed. These are real life problems that requires real live skills.
You can go back to school after learning those skills and still have something to fall back on.

It is vice versa. There are millions of unemployed and underemployed graduates. There are many skilled people struggling to feed and pay their bills. There are also lots of graduates gainfully employed. Likewise there are lots of skilled persons earning well. Having a skill is not a yardstick to success. Having education is also not a yardstick to success.

CockPit:
Now, imagine instead of going to school for 4 years, you have gone to learn a skill for 2 years like tailoring, Auto mechanic, plumbing, welding, tiler and so on and your sister and every member of your family have all done likewise gone to learn a skill.

Your family will be in a better position financially.

After school in Nigeria, over 98 percent of the graduates do not have a tangible life skill to succeed in the real world.

As a fashoion designer, you have a skill to solve a real life problem.
I am not against school but i advocate going back to school after you have acquired those skills.

Also, you parents brought you guys into the world to suffer, you were set up to fail from day one. At most your parents should have had only 1 or two kids.

It is not too late to go learn a trade and get a skill.

Times have changed and we must evaluate the world around us and change our approach.

I know people in my environ who have these skills and they're still poor. They still struggle with their 3 square meal. Some don't even have the means to establish themselves after learning. It is really tough out there bro

Fuckingmallam45:
Point of correction, CU is one of the best and not the best in Nigeria. Take note of the difference.

CU remain the best

gare:
So why are the parents now complaining that can't reach their kids in times of crisis, so they parents no any better when they use that a place to rate their status of being rich, rather than what their child would learn.

We see them a lot 😁

the school is the best in Nigeria. Every parent want their wards to attend the best school. It is not to rate their status of being rich.

mrjojo:
trust me sir, it is!!!

Sorry, Is it US that will get him passport, application fee, flight ticket and other fees?

gare:
This is a University and not a secondary school why restrict the children from phones and laptops and also from talking to their parents?

Well I wish them well all those that can send their kids and wards to a glorified jail all in the name of quality education.

please how is it a glorified Jail? Those in public University with access to mobile phone what are they doing with it if not Yahoo and hookup? Does the "no phone" policy make them less human or not employable? The school is the best in Nigeria and one of the best in Africa. This is a school established not too long.

I believe you don't know more than their parents that chose the school over other institution in Nigeria

mrjojo:
he might be able to get into a full funded msc if his course is STEM related and with a good GPA

how possible could that be, for someone who barely feed?

Streetmovement:
Wotoporiously speaking

Lol that's the problem we have in Nigeria, our choices are influenced by appearance, and who will employ the ones from other schools? So if someone were to be qualified for your job offer, you will denied them on the conclusion that they're not coming from the best schools on paper.

I'm wowed by your reasoning

If we were to go by just job employments, I don't think Nigeria will even have the world recognition we have now, thank God for talented individuals in various fields and business oriented people.

i will chose CU products over any other schools

Astra101:
If the no phone policy was because of porn, but access to the boldest Apps is allowed then the idea is defeated! Those boldest sites has a huge number of porn videos.

i believe you don't know more than the school management with professionals and technocrats

Urgent1Million:
In as much as I don't support the rubbish they're doing in those kind of universities, I still blame the people taking their children to such schools.
How can a sane parent keep their child in a school where communication is censored?
It completely beats my imagination.

You don't know one third of what their parents know to have enrol their wards in the school.

MavisEleanor:
I have already stated that Prohibition of phones does not influence their ranking.

Also, there's nothing an alumni of Covenant University has achieved that graduates from other Nigerian Universities haven't.

when was CU established compare to other universities? They're incomparable

CU is the best, and i will chose CU over other University

I'm speaking from experience, and I repeat I will never send my kids to any posh schools with too much brouhaha, forget the social media hype, if you see wetin those kids dey do when them come outside you go get heart attack. Na me dey tell you...pretending in school but in the real world Lucifer nor fit open mouth talk for where dem dey.

I have dated some of them, even had some as friends back in the day.

Like I said earlier no be by school

CU is the best University in Nigeria

[quote author=MavisEleanor post=128052566]Covenant University is ranked higher than other universities because it is well funded.

It has a conducive learning environment and world class facilities to support learning.

Of course, the source of funding is an open secret.

Whether students are allowed to use mobile phones or not does not improve their status. It only paints them like an extreme institution with the potential of producing extremists. [/quote]I still don't understand how not using a mobile phone but computer or tab make one extremist. I really do not understand

Discountsempai:
As a graduate of a public university myself, I object to that fact.

Public uni students still stufy hard, work hard, and don't do yahoo and hookup. Most of them, anyway..especially since you still have to graduate with a good enuf degree.

You don't know the present reality. Even the so called graduates are into Yahoo Yahoo

cjudy:
Then when a student is using phone, he/she is into yahoo?

Bye we don’t reason the same.

Religion don finish you.

how has my point related to religion please? What has the freedom in public University produced if not Yahoo Yahoo, prostitution, sex for mark, bribery et al?

cjudy:
1. Backward school because there’s no freedom for human above 18yrs old

2. Phone is a means of communication between two persons. Student need phone to fix many things.

You mean freedom to engage in illicit sex amongst students, lecturers and outsiders? Freedom to engage in their usual Yahoo and hookup? The public University that has the whole freedom in the world why is CU topping them? I mean CU of yesterday compare to schools since 1960s

Who told you the students aren't communicating with their parents?

cjudy:
So anyone using phone is into yahoo? You see, when I say you people are backward, you argue blindly. Look at a matured man reasoning that everyone using phone in university is into yahoo. You that is using phone now, it means you’re into yahoo too. Shame….

majority of Nigerians undergraduate are into cyber fraud. This is a pure fact. Most graduates too are into Yahoo due to high rate of unemployment in the country. This is the pure fact.

I dey hear of all this rubbish posh schools, my pikin nor fit go this kind school wey get extreme rules, most kids from schools like this are vegetables, meanwhile quick recovery to the affected.

better than having Yahoo Yahoo and olosho who bribed their way out of school

cjudy:
What exactly a student of above 18yrs old needs phone for?

I’m done with you. Better go and join backward environment. I have nothing to tell you. Even 2years old children now operates mobile phone all over the world and you’re here telling me what university student need a phone for. You see religion in this country, na him go keep una were una belong

What are those in public University doing with their phone if not for Yahoo and hookup. CU do not allow mobile phone and they often come out top ahead of other so called public University. So what's the fuss about mobile phone please? Will that policy make their products not employable or what? The policy is obviously working for them man

cjudy:
Best as the president, minister for Education and CBN governor attended their school

is the school meant for the poor masses?

cjudy:
Oga CU is ranked 801 in the world and the 1-807 uses mobile phone in their school. You think is by going to CU, go and rest even [b]the best student in Nigeria will beat the so called CU student hands down. [/b]They’re just inside Religion prison by their parents

this is your view, which obviously is not the reality. CU is the best in Nigeria and one of the best in Africa. CU of yesterday o

Pharaohny:
No phones


What a babaric behaviour.....


Prison called school 🏫...
Tueh.....

Just watch the dependent above this comment....

those in government University, what are they using their mobile phone to do if not Yahoo and hookup?

cjudy:
See olodo that’s calling person olodo. Come to Canada or USA and show me the best school there that are not allowed to use mobile phone. Everything about your useless country is backward

That is US. In Nigeria they're the best and the culture and other factors make them the best.

cjudy:
Name the best graduate that got the best job in Nigeria or outside the shithole.

what are the so called government University students using their mobile phone for if not Yahoo and hookup?

Go and check the ranking of CU alongside other over 120 government University in Nigeria and come back to me

N

cjudy:
Imagine not allowed to use phone in University. I swear na Primary school una still Dey because secondary student can use phone.

Backward school

that is why they keep chunning out the best graduates while their institution top the ladder of best school in Nigeria and Africa

Your so called government University that allows mobile phone, what are they doing with it? Is it not Yahoo and hookup?
