You still didn't get it. Dad chased the son out of the house because they disagreed and he owns the house. Following day, the corpse of the son was found in the neighbourhood, killed by canies or ritualists. The mother, family member or concerned citizen took the father to court. Don't you think such father will spend some time in prison?

I doubt bro

I think Students who can not cope with the strict laws should pass Jamb and go to OAU , UNILAG etc.

this is not a strict law! It is an unconstitutional regulation!! Abi leleyi nso bayi?

prettyboi1989:

bla bla, i just punched a hole in the guy's article, if you cant read inbetween the lines, dats ur problem, deal with it. he lost his stance of illegality about the school's action by saying any rule or law outside the constitution should be disregarded. thats senseless in itself, he might aswell go work work for a company, engage in shady deals and expect not to get fired because he feels the rules governing the company doesnt affect him because it isnt the constitution. thats outright hogwash, balderdash and bullshiit

He said any rule or law contradicting the constitution should be disregarded as the constitution is the Supreme law of the land, that supersedes all other laws.Stop misquoting him.

This one na original epistle

My nephew in primary 2, has better understanding capacity than u do

looool u think uve made a point? Lmao. what i grapple with in terms of education, intellectual prowess, problems i have solved in the past, u n ur so called primary 2 nephew will cower due to ur inability to comprehend them.

prettyboi1989:
mumu talk, u for kuku talk say rules and regulations enacted by an organization to be enforced within the organization are all null and void since the constitution is the supreme law. you might aswell say that the rule that allows a boss to fire a nonchalant staff should be disregarded. did they dig dis guy's brain and sense out of a septic tank? cos to me its full of shiit

Haba! I can't believe you're the one saying this. Maybe you should read Section 1 of the Nigerian Constitution very well to understand the illegality of the school regulation.

so an organization doesnt have the right to set its own rules and regulations? if the organization stipulates a particular dress code, has it gone against the constitution?

I didnt bother to read ya epistle. CU is a private institution., so you know what you signed for when you sought them, afterall they didnt force u to come to the varsity. Abide by the rules ya'signed in for. Say no more!

I'm sure if you read it you will see that the whole bullshit about "you signed it" does not hold water. There is a rule based on "ex turpi causa non oritur actio" which means "no action/right can arise from an illegal act". It therefore follows that CU cannot claim any right of enforcement of their rules signed by the student because it amounts to an illegality in the first place. Put differently, you cannot base your case on nothing. After all, Lord Denning said "You cannot put something on nothing and expect it to stand. Nay! It will utterly fall" See UAC v McFoy.

And why do people after being fired, take thier former organizations to court and win.

Any rule that goes against the Constitution and human Rights laws can he challenged in court.

Even Military Courts Marshall Judgments are being reversed if it goes against the Constitution and human Rights laws.

prettyboi1989:

Don't get me wrong; they have a right to set their own rules and regulations. However, such rules must not contravene the constitution. In this instance, CU has a right to make rules for the student but the rules on compulsory attendance at the Church programme is against the fundamental human right to freedom of religion, association, etc as prescribed by the constitution and is therefore null and void. You get?

Imstrong:
Every institution has its rules and regulations covenant university is faith based and well principled, it's also private, they have a standard governing its activities

let the OP be ranting there, it's a private institution. they did not force you to attend. since you have decided to attend, it implies that you must adhere with their rules since you voluntarily signed up for it. it is not illegal. The OP should go and represent them in court now.

my dear, in the house I lived in before moving out, the landlord didn't allow anybody use a generator. I still went ahead to use a generator because I couldn't cope with the epileptic power supply in that area, he then gave me a quit notice. I took him to court and while we were there, they asked him why he refused the usage of generators in the house. He replied them by saying that he had experienced fire outbreak in the house due to the usage of generators, and his wife stood as the witness. The man won the case that day. I had to talk to him later, he then allowed me to stay. After that year, I moved out. When they were filling the forms, I'm sure they ticked Christianity as their religion, and the rules they must follow.

It is not the same thing, how don't you guys get it. Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right for every Nigerian as long as the constitution is concerned and it was violated in this case. Did your landlord violate any of your basic rights, right to life for instance or say you must go to his church He is even trying to keep you safe here. Again it is not the same thing.

uzolexis:


Do you know what "fundamental human right" is? Right to life, right to religious freedom etc. These are basic human right which should not be violated. Your football team and choir examples don't make sense cos they are not violating any right. You get

What does right to religious freedom mean?...How is their fundamental human rights....his 'right to religious freedom' being violated? .... are they being forced to join a religion? ...or being prevented from practising their religion?...explain to me exactly how their right to religious freedom is being violated....engage me...enlighten me... shed some light...I'm waiting in the dark..

that they are being punished for attending a church programme they don't want to attend. Nobody should force them, they are adults, they can decide for themselves whether or not they want to go.

trying to keep me safe?? How?? Let's leave that for another day....concerning the religion, i believe there were some kind of agreement concerning how they would practise the religion that they signed?

Npower property why am i not surprised. lool m sure u must have been bragging to ur students how much of a geek u were in school but too bad u ended up being a teacher on a 30k payroll. first get a better job before u come here talking to me bout ur nephew in primary school

i have already treated ur case mr npower property, check ur mention lmao. dude dont blame ur inability to spell boastful correctly on auto correct. theres nothing like the word "boostful". if ur autocorrect was working it would have switch to d correct form of the word.
u call me dull? like seriously? yet you couldnt get a better job with ur qualification but had to stick with 30k teaching job. if u were bright you wouldnt be sitting ducks with a 30k pay check but rather, you would have been running a thriving business of ur own.
i bet ur nephew is ur only point of reference because you got no other educated person in ur home to brag with

What stops covenant university from following the archaic laws of stoning and death in the Old Testament?
They could literally kill students caught commuting adultry if they want BUT the constitution of Nigeria is Supreme

By trying to keep you safe, i mean trying to prevent fire. Even if they signed any agreement, it does not hold water if it violates the Nigerian constitution. It is clearly stated in the constitution that in case of any rules contrary to the constitution, the constitution comes 1st, whether or not they signed any agreement is irrelevant. You get the drift now?

obonujoker:


Wat do those schools you mentioned have to offer, that covenant doesn't offer?

For One, They offer religious freedom.

Would it be a fundamental human rights issue if you are suspended for not attending a meeting your boss called for at work because you don't want to attend?

nwakibie3:


Each student is meant to sign that u must abide by the school rules and regulations before they are admitted so if religious activities are part of the rule then the students must adhere to it. It's not a must to attend covenant university. Other universities are there.

Religious freedom is guarantee by the Nigerian constitution.
From what you are saying, If CU puts up a death sentence for missing mass then they are free to behead the students.

claremont:


The point of the article is that the ''rules and regulations'' of the university IS subservient to the constitution of Nigeria which guarantees freedom of worship and assembly. The action of the university in suspending students who didn't attend a religious event is unlawful, and in civilized societies, the university will be fined heavily.

The fact that some posters on here support this discriminatory act is sadly a reflection of the way and manner religion has eaten deep into our society at the expense of common sense.

cu is the educational arm of the ministry indirectly an extension of the ministry,the same law applies, they set their rules as they deemed fit in line with their vision how can you subject a private institution to public laws? Have you gone through their rules and regulations and their core values? These are the requirements the students are all aware of and penalties applicable upon violation, do you know cu rank above most federal universities? What's the difference.. Standard, they can't compromise on it. The rules governing private institutions are a bit extreme compared to public institutions that's why it's private and faith based at that

Akainzo:

it's not the same thing, pls check the constitution and know what fundamental human rights are, right to religious freedom, right to life, association etc. Your boss is not violating any law by suspending you for not coming to a meeting. How don't you get this
