pornhub, slay queen things, oloshoism, bet9ja, yahoo, etc make a PUC, all these things can be distracting, without a phone, at least some can be curbed.

Howmon:
There seem to be a breach of the students's right to religion and assembly here. They may have a good argument in court as the religious activity doesn't alter their academic curriculum. I'm not a lawyer but I strongly believe they have a good argument in a court of law no matter the agreement they signed with the school, since it bothers on their fundamental human right.

Exciton:
I hope they sue the school for this. No one should be forced to attend any religious function. It doesn't matter what the student agreed to when entering the school. It's against the constitution.

There was no rule that said students MUST attend Easter-Youth Alive function. There was no signed agreement to this effect either at the beginning of the school year. Also, this notice went out to parents from a strange personal number and not the school's usual CUSTOMIZED number... No one is saying the students who defaulted are right but there are several other punishments that can be meted out to the students rather than a full year suspension! Redeemer's University sends students to Bible school for 3 months when they default- they don't make such rash decisions, especially not when final year students are involved...

This should be looked into because such grave punishment for this "Minor offence" will not make the school or the students better tomorrow...

It's just dis-heartening!

It's a University and not a seminary

The University was accredited by the NUC .
NUC sets the rules for every University in Nigeria
NUC need to step in here.

Geminiboy:
for crying out loud why are u all complaining on behalf of the student, didn't they know the rules before going to the school, that it's a Christian school and u abide to their rules and regulations, if they wanted a school where they could socialize igbinedion university is there

This is so gonna be interesting, I give you 3 weeks to 'get' her

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


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.

...if it bothered on their fundamental human rights then they should'nt have been in such a school in the first instance...there is no case here.....i attended a christian all boarding secondary school and we had muslims there as well...but it was made know to all parents that once your child is there they would attend all christian programs ...there was no allowance for any muslim activity...it was clear....papers were signed upon admission and so we had muslims who were even often picked to lead us in devotions...in the christian way.....if as a parent you are not ok with that....then wat business did you have bringing your ward to such a school.....in all those muslim schools we have...can a christian attend there?...no, because you either have to be a muslim or risk being converted to one.

?? How, fundamental human right? Except the student wants to renounce Christianity then he gas no argument, he breached a contract, at least the little I Knw abound the school, CU has very strict rules when it cones to religious activities. If the student carries CU to court, He/she better be ready to renounce Christianity.
