Covenant University is as it again and this time I am not keeping calm!

Please how can a school suspend final year students for not attending "Easter Youth Alive" program" for ONE year Where is that done? Is it on their curriculum? How many units does this program carry?

These students have barley two(2) or three (3) months to go before project defense and graduation, have exams coming up this week and the school wakes up and decides to suspend them for one (1) year? And what happens to the fees paid for the year? In this economic recession, parents should cough out close to a Million Naira again to pay fees

How many "churchy" schools have ever done this? None! Its only Covenant University! Is there no better punishment to give to these students than suspension for a WHOLE YEAR What culture are you trying to imbibe into these students? When they are suspended, will they go home and become better people? What are the lecturers and counselors in the school for? What are the various Bible studies or programs in the school for? Are they organized for just believers? Who did the church come for? Who did Jesus come for? Isn't it the sinners? What if after every sin we commit, our Almighty Father in Heaven decides to suspend us from this earth, where will we all be?

I should believe parents who take their children to such schools do so not just for academic purposes, but also for the spiritual aspect. Isn't that why they have a course titled "The Total Man?" Or what other reason is this course for, if not to build all students, particularly the erring ones to become better people? If not so, they should please enlighten us.

I think this time around, Covenant University has gone over board!

We will not keep silent again.

Please and please, we would appreciate if this is published. We have had enough of this!

Lol

I'm a Christian but this one weak me!


Is this a theology seminary or academic university?
Seun, hope say lalasticlala no follow go CU sha

Sad story! Seems like they see students as atm in CU

So final year students were mandated to attend the Church's Easter program. Some couldn't attend it and they were suspended for one year...
Is this a true picture of what happened?
Who else can confirm this is exactly what happened?

Thevictorious should come and disclaim this post

Eyah

Was this in your agreement?

Hearing so many similar stories about this same institution makes one assume that there could be some kind of binding agreement parents sign when they enrol their wards.

If that is so, such agreements would have to be respected.

If it stipulates that students should carry around pocket bibles and submit themselves for pregnancy tests before exams...

...Well, as they say in the streets, "Agreement is Agreement"

Shush! This happens when you decide to finish your higher education in a glorified secondary school. What you see is what you get.

Glorified secondary school

If this is True . then Shame to the School!! . #spits

lol

long story short, it all boils down to the agreement they had, in the school manual, if it is statted that a student can be suspended for it..and they agreed to it, then, we can't help it.

All these church schools sha

this one na common secondary school


i can assure u that

For a minute I thought we're talking about a university and not a secondary school.

Get a good lawyer.

Private secondary school.

I refuse to believe



On my way to report to buhari

what if i am not a christian in that school?

Ayam not understanding. WTF

It serves the student and parents right. With the institution being in the news all time for over strictness, must you study there ?

Dis must b a joke

Sad, but if that's what the rules says, so be it.

My cousin was among them though not in penultimate year.

Many who did not offend were affected like my little cousin. Something has gone wrong with their data but who pays for that? The parents I suppose.

Very sad. I am not sure the jews and arabs took religion as seriously and devotedly as nigerians do.
