[quote author=Morbeta11 post=137140493]Trending Photos: Covenant University allegedly paid a staff a whopping ₦102k as Gratuity for 14yrs of service.


The X post shares a N102,000 cheque image as gratuity for a Covenant University staff member's 14 years of service, roughly N7,285 per year, sparking outrage over its inadequacy given the university's Christian foundation by Bishop David Oyedepo.

This mirrors prior labor disputes, including 2021-2022 court orders for the university to pay over N10 million in damages and benefits to ex-staff, and a May 2025 report of unpaid terminations leading to one death, indicating recurring issues with employee entitlements.

Replies reflect public skepticism on the payment's authenticity—possibly a monthly salary rather than final gratuity—while criticizing the ban on unions, which critics say enables such low payouts in a high-fee institution.

You are being emotional and then blaming people for not having the facts.
The receipt presented here is a fact.
Until Covenant University presents their own facts, this stands on what we can draw conclusions from.
Emotionalhuh? Does his receipt tell if he is owing the school? Does it give pertinent details? Just stop!

And you wonder why Isaac oyedepo left,he was the only person that stood up to defend his actions when he was a pastor of the lokogoma church in abuja.

The evil people in that church pressured Bishop oyedepo, till isaac was taken outside the country.

All the money is put in building projects. Egocentric projects with no human value.

God was not bluffing when he said judgement would start from His house - 1 Peter 4:17.

I am guessing that if the gratuity was not in line with employment terms, the employment letter would have accompanied this cheque to SM.

Oledepo has always been a scam out to line his pockets.

I think the cheque itself is far more expensive than the sum written on it grin

What kind of services was he/she engaged to do for 14yrs that the church (business institution) decided to brazenly hand a cheque of 102k as gratuity? A poster even said some do have negative balances to clear with the university in some cases.

I know of a family friend who pulled his wife out of Deeper Life High School and opened a shop for her, now she doing better than even the principal. Unionism or not I think the churches are supposed to be more humane in their treatment of staffs cuz that's the purest form of the gospel. The money from setting up these institutions came from donations and tithes for goodness sake. Let's not forget that most members can't even afford to send their wards to their church school.

Am waiting for a long PDF as explanation from the legal department headed by someone who may not even get gratuity. 😆
Do you even understand that there's a formula for calculating Gratuity?

That's if the employee is even covered.

At least, they paid something...


If not for the wholesome transformation of the economy by Tinubu and his goons do you think Covenant University would have even paid a dime to that staff?



Lets appreciate CU and Tinubu abeg!
Your sarcasm no even make sense, it's poorly done bro

There is no evidence this is for gratuity. Could be just another need to trend .
The person that posted it is not stupid enough to do so just to trend if it's not true, cause CU will just sue his ass. I think the cheque really is for gratuity payment, what I'll like like to know is if he has a pre-existing loan that CU had to clean before they came with a measly 102k as gratuity for 14 years service

You will be amazed at the stupidity of people . If a whole minister of the federation can forge documents and is not in court. How many fake news are out there? Don't be naive my brother . Nowhere on that cheque is it written that it is gratuity . Believe social media people at your peril

What's the difference between gratuity and pension pls?
FreeStuffsNG:
Gratuity is different from pension.

I think most people keep confusing gratuity with pension. Contributory pension scheme is a law in Nigeria, it would have built up over the years and belongs to the employee.

For 14 years, he could have millions already sitting in his contributory pension account and he will take it in tranches while the balance keeps Compounding.

It makes no sense to insult the employer when you are completely ignorant of how pension works.

That retiring employee deserves to be sanctioned for releasing this information without stating the amount in his contributory pension. He probably did it to embarrass his employers and that's disloyalty.
