So his problem with CU is the strict rules and chapel attendance lmao, I read all he said and I don't see any illegal thing they do at CU, they want a private Christian University where students can live as married couple, where sex and money can be exchanged for good grades, where 1st class is for lecturers only, where buying handouts from lecturers qualifies you for good grades etc

These sets will say anything to bring the christian faith and their schools down by any means, forgetting that Christianity brought development and civilisation to Nigeria and Africa as a whole

We are obviously in an era where Christians are being persecuted all over the world, but they will never prevail, the gates of hell can never prevail, and Covenant University will continue to be the best University in Nigeria.

Amen. If he cannot cope with schools moral standards, he should have changed to public universities where there are no strict rules, where he is free to do whatever he likes instead of coming to social media to complain. There is amount of social media persecution that will make this good schools to lower their standard morally and otherwise . Most parents send their children/ wards to where they can get good morally lesson in addition to academics.

CU is a place where legends are forged. If you want to live like a dog on campus go to ekpoma. Mind you there's a price for indiscipline.

I have heard a whole lot about CU that needs investigation.

Oyedepo is a money making businessman, not apastor, preaches a funny form of christianity that is borderline heretical....and on this, I back him

Anyone going into university anywhere should read the university rules and regulations, or get to know the university rules and regulations. And if you cannot live under the university rules and regulations, then go to another school

What we have here is a guy who entered a school, where he probably KNEW that they were overstrict, and also loved to invade student\s personal social media and such like....and he decided that ...yeah, I am still going to that school even though I know I cannot live under their rules.

As the wise old proverb says...look before you leap.

Many christian...scratch that, many religious schools the world over are ultra ultra strict. It must not be covenant. Covenant is not the only university in the whole of Nigeria, we now have choice. You could have run to any federal university or even state university, where, at least, no one would look at your social media, or care about what you do in your off hours, provided you don't do something like rape or murder, or armed robbery. AM sure that in the federal university I went to, no one even cares about what you post on line...or write online...because at the end of the day...

And yeah, the law allows university to act as 'in loco parentis' . So, if you want Covenant to stop invading your privacy...go to the National Assembly and get your senator to pass the appropriate law. But I go hear people say that awa senators are kwarrupt. (The usual code word for we are too lazy to give a eff). And then having government interfere in university discipline brings up a whole nother long set of issues and suchlike.

Man, I sympathize with the guy. But he put himself in this mess by choosing with his own two hands to go to a ultra strict school. He hath made his bed, make he lie down for am.

MODIFED

He said his dad forced him to go to the school. Yeah, that brings up the issues of parents thinking that a school would fix their kid too. Many Nigerian parents think that a religious school would fix their children. LOL...it definetly won't.

But even then, he should have adapted. The thing is , school teaches us to do things we don't like to do, hear things we don't like to hear, because that can be useful skills for the world tomorrow. We are going to need those skills.

And even then, he could have said no dad, don;t want to go. If him papa kill am, no be murder charge be that?

I am an Eagle.
One of the craziest ones at that.
Everything this young man has complained about made me what I am today.

Anyone who can be crazy and still survive CU is a real nigga.
This young man is a weakling.

I started using my phone from my 200level in Paul Hall, even student council members knew I used phone.
There was a time I didn't attend chapel service for an entire session, NOT SEMESTER OHH.

Yet me and my crew made it out.
Today I will would be one of the greatest drug dealers in this country if I chose to follow that path because I had it on the lock.
I would be a great politician if I wanted cos I had many Revo, Student council and Student affairs in my pocket.

The unfortunate thing is in their attempt to create Holly and robotic students, they helps us discover our potentials in the most negative ways.....

The young man was a weakling.
CU is for the strong.


E wan be bad guy for CU and e no get mind, e no wise.

All these new generation CU students.

Na we be th men wer give Fadugba headache.
Oyinloye, Mario hunted me.

I remember Mario told me one day at the basketball court after taking my iTouch and returning it, He said. "Whatever you are doing to get away, one day we will get you" The joke is forever on him.

lol… we started the school we were the guinea pigs with which all the formulated rules were perfected. I remember raking for Prof. Aize Obayan(her blessed memory). She looked lost and couldn’t fathom where I got my courage from!
Well I’m grateful I went through that trainings! It wasn’t a perfect system but it was so helpful to many of we young lads of that generation! I’m grateful for the foundation and body of knowledge I gained!

You were given their rules at the point of admission. If you aren't comfortable with one or two rules, you can forfeit the admission and seek admission elsewhere.

Did they force him to get admitted there

Kaczynski:
How many graduates are skilled ?? Some can't even write a resume without using chatgpt. In nigeria ordinary final year project , go and see how undergrads pay to outsource theirs.


Wake up, school is not everything . People are making it without seeing the four walls of a university.

After they have made it, they proceed to buy some fancy degree just to show off .

In the 90s going to school was okay and you could actually gain something from it.

My grandfather graduated from university of ibadan, department of physics , back when the system was actually working not now where everything is a merse , education keeps moving backwards and teqchers keep teaching all sort of slop.

Come and go see their 1960 annual year book see what i am talking about, their skills actually talking not their degree.

See yourself now?


Just to spell “mess”, you cannot.

Yet you’re still here saying education is a scam

When parents raise terrible children, they become a burden to society. What's the rant about? You don't want to be disciplined? Then, go and establish your own university!

This young man just reminds of that adage that says “ What an elder sees while sitting a child finds it difficult to see while standing”
This youngman has parental issues to start with, And CU takes the blame for trying to straighten him.

I've read through all this chap wrote and I see nothing tangible but a rant of a spoilt brat from a rich but lawless family who doesn't have any regards for rules and order.


These spoilt brats are purposely directed to christians school by their parents with a thought of may be this would made them turn a good person in life.


If you have time, go and read what that guy wrote. Just absolute rambling of a truant.

a google search shows the guy seems to be doing well

https://anthonyazekwoh.medium.com/covenant-university-the-shame-a-trilogy-f3afe53c5bf3

he wrote this article 4 years ago
and he definitely has made some points about an environment where the rules can give unsavory adults disproportionate power over students

Who?

My 2/3RD graduated from CU..Nah wah oo

HIs father did 'make him' go to the school, and this is Nigeria, we don't disobey our parents. Even people like me don't disobey parents, at my age

There is a problem here of parents thinking a religious school would fix their kid. Make their kid more religious. As someone who is religious, even a born again christian (not of the Oyedepo variety, lol)...religion is something that comes from within, not from a school, or peers or whatever. And unfortunately some parents in this country treat Covenant, among other schools, as finishing schools for their kids to be religious and to 'learn discipline'

(Though they can send them to federal university...a few carryovers will teach them discipline by force..herherher).

But even then, he could have adapted. One harsh lesson in life that an atheist kid...all kids infact...like him should learn is that

1. The world does not rotate around us
2, We are all going to have to do things we don't like sometimes
3. We all should realize that not everyone will say things we like, so we got to be disciplined on that ground.

The guy hasn't learned that lesson, and as such, here he is. Yes, parents should not have made him go to a school he didn't like, but even in lemons there are lemonades.

Nwaikpe:
Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of a private university in Nigeria.

It cesspool of corrupt people who spend a lot to launder their image.

Most especially, church based universities.

They spend more on image laundering than they spend on actually developing the kids.

How much did they pay to be in the top 1,000 universities in the world, far above most Federal institutions in Nigeria?

He didn't want to go to the school after all, but his father did say he had to go. And he is still an African, and African children obey their parents.

He also missed his chance to make lemon into lemonade, there's that.

akpumping7720:

His father did say that he had to go to that school. He obeyed his father. Says so in the writeup.

JohnAOne:
He said a whole lot WITHOUT saying anything...


WHAT WAS THE ISSUE GAN GAN THAT CAUSED YOU TO LEAVE OR GOT YOU SUSPENDED?

He said it's drugs

We are obviously in an era where Christians are being persecuted all over the world, but they will never prevail, the gates of hell can never prevail, and Covenant University will continue to be the best University in Nigeria.

A few things to note here was that Covenant was not his choice, it was his father's choice, and the kid obeyed his father. It is also sad that parents think that it is school, and not God that would 'fix their child'. That is not how it works.

The problem also was that the kid is an atheist. Putting an atheist through christian school is almost as horrifying as putting a christian through a muslim school(or even vice versa)...especially if the dads and mums said they had to go there. Yet parents thought the school would make him a christian. Which is a wrong idea (as Oyedepo would probably say, Jesus, not Covenant university, saves)

But even then, he could have adapted and learned that in life, not everything has to rotate around one's desires. Many christians study in very secular universites where they are exposed to ideas that contradict their beliefs, but they learn what they can, and then go out. And many schools have strict rules. Guy is going to learn that in the real world, the strict rules of covenant are preparing him for the world outside where employers and people you work with have strict rules. (just as my going to a primary school where you had to be in the school premises by 7.59 am or else..made me have the habit of being very early to work and other events...and feeling uncomfortable when I am not).

Rubbish, what about us that were first batch of babcock which was worst than any private university has of then. It's not by force if you can't follow rules. If not for such schools some of us would have ended up been a burden to our generation but that strict crazy rules shaped us.

Boy save this long essay.. and join LASU... Since Badboy lifestyle they hungry you..

U wan join secret cult ... Nah that one they pain you.. so leave plenty talk..

University wey fit your lifestyle still dey.. purchase there admission form and ensure you get admitted... Lobatan

ChirstFireAltar:
Don’t mind them.
They had the opportunity to attend a private Christian institution where discipline, character, and purpose are prioritized—where bullying, strikes, and extravagant lifestyles are not encouraged, so students can focus on what truly matters during their formative years and grow into better people for themselves in the future. Instead, they chose to chase shadows.

In the next few years, reality will teach its lessons—perhaps the hard way—and only those who laid solid foundations will stand better.

You've said it all. Awon omo beliali. They wanted to have their way, against the tenets of the university. Na there cultism dey start

tarboshi:

Just enough for marketing and online mentions.
The "most Federal institutions" are not concerned with that.
That is why 90% of the professors in those private universities are junior or senior lecturers (not even associate professors) in those same "most Federal institutions."

It's not that hard; it's only difficult for you to understand.

In as much as I agree with you, we Nigerian Christians should place MOGs where they belong. We should love and honor them for their works while avoiding making them gods. That way we will help them remember that they are men and not gods that can do and get away with anything. It's these MOGs that are giving rooms to unbelievers to mock and attack the church. Mind you, I am speaking generally and by no means refering to Bishop David Oyedepo who has been a blessing to me at some point in my life.

My fellow Eagle.

You just reminded of Revo, Mario and Fadugba regime.

I remember when Fadugba told my hall Daniel hall to write the whole book of Luke as punishment.

If you can survive there, you will be very sharp.

But faced against this blatant abuse of fundamental human rights, people respond with, “Well, just go to another school. I mean, is Covenant the only school that is there?"

This speaks volume and not just about CU but about the state of the Nigeria nation itself, it's shame that we are all caught up in this trap.

In a few years to time, he shall get his senses correctly and later get to know that the school is doing more good than harm to him.

His youthful exurbirrance will soon clear from his eyes.

Yeye complaints

do u know the parents to know why they sent him there.....
In case u pple don't know, Muslims attend covenant University ooo, so whats this fallacy about, concluding his parent sent him there to get fixed .....
How ??...do they force them to love God and obey God in the school? At best the school will control the tendency of joining cult, leaving school for some unknown place the parents and school don't know...

What happened to national rankings of the school, the fact that private unit graduates are now more recognized as better as public uni are now plagued with too many grade and certificate buyin....what happened to graduating exactly 3.5 years with no lecturer/ASUU strike??

No evidence just tweets. We don pass this stage na

muslims attend convenant?

covenant does not allow practice of any religion other than pentecosatal Christianity
and attending church service is compulsory
so to say Muslims are allowed is disingenuous at best

Kaczynski:
Its your mere ignorance and nonchalant attitude thinking that being a graduate is a big deal. Even Seun did not graduate from uni look at you using his forum.

I let my kids do whatever they want with ground rules . we are literally in the 21st century where you can educate yourself and prove you got skills , no need to join the herd of sheep and do whatever the system tells you to .


Thank god the job market is gradually dealing with yall folks there . It no longer certs but more of skills.

[your prefrontal cortex is literally windows .

wtf 😭😂
