One thing I've come to understand is that while Jesus was here on earth, he never forced anyone to serve him. He preached the gospel, healed the sick and was an epitome of mercy and love.

Now, the above truths gets me thinking about CU. If Oyedepo believes in the power of God, why does he force people to perform Godly acts? Why is CU forcing the tenets of Christianity down the throat of its student? If they truly believe in Gods power, why don't they allow him to work in the lives of their students? Let them receive the gospel freely without coercion, or go to church because they want to know him not because they are forced?

The answer, the so-called christian authority of CU don't have faith in God to change lives or influence people. They feel they have to help God by forcing religion the throat of unwilling students and meting out punishment to the recalcitrant ones. How is this warped ideology different from boko haram or Isis that canes people or even kills or metes out other severe punishment for refusing to follow their ways. I think CU is only breeding future Adolph Hitlers

PaChukwudi44:
the NUC can force them to change some of the rules.You cannot punish someone for having sex outside the shool premises during holidays.It is an infringement on their fundamental human rights

Are you saying fundamental rights?

Fundamental right you signed to for go when you were being admitted. You signed that you have given me the right to deny you that fundamental right.

Duely signed by you and your parents when it was not done in the dark. You read it and signed it.

Abegii

CU has the right to lay any rules down, you too have the right to reject it and throw their admission at their face and walk away to Uni Ife, Ibadan, LASU etc.

No infringement done here. None!

freshboi88:
Baba even God gives u free will, any law that takes away ur free will n ur fundamental human right is evil. I mean what is any bodies business if I had sex outside sch premises. Why should my privacy be invaded.

If govt does this, u will cry, wail n insult buhari, but u praise anoda for doing d same thing.

Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not praising the institution, I'm only saying that they have their specific objective for putting in place those measures. As an institution that places value on the sanctity of its students.

The Adooh and Marilyn case has revealed some of the absurd rule system that goes on in Covenant. I hereby use this opportunity to also call for the recall of Marilyn Effanga from expulsion but let anyone in Covenant uni that is without sin be the first to cast stones. she had sex but didn't commit it in school. I'm not sure what penalty she was given but considering CU and her antecedents i would wager it was expulsion.

Covenant university with an average NUC accreditation score of 90.48% is by far the best Nigerian university academically speaking. It is also one of three Nigerian universities founded before 2010 that has never lost an NUC accreditation before. The others being AUN, PAU . It also has the highest rate of investment on education according to NUC and the highest research output/size - Elsevier


However some very choking rules exist in Covenant University that NUC has a matter of urgency must clamp on. Why? CU serves as a model to private universities and if all religious schools adopt the CU model we would have a dangerous situation on our hand in the next few years.


Note: These rules/experiences do not apply to Covenant university Post Graduates. CU is unarguably the best place to run PG studies. But be very certain if you are going for BSc.

THE RULES

1) All students/lecturers irrespective of religious affiliations must go to church. Punishment for chapel default ranges from suspension to expulsion. It is unclear if there are punitive measures for lecturers.
b) Not bringing bible to church is also sanctionable.

2) No student is allowed to use SIM enabled devices(Phones)

3) Islamic holidays are disregarded - Usually almost all Christian schools in Nigeria acknowledge islamic holidays and allow their community to rest or even travel to felicitate with their loved. But CU folks are denied this priviledge enacted and backed by both the constutution and presidential order.

4) Christian holidays are disregarded - Easter comes and CU will force everyone to attend youth alive by winners chapel. Folks are prevented from going home. Punishment for violation is suspension to expulsion.

5) Exeat Required To Exit Campus: Students are required to make detailed application to student affairs before granted right to leave campus. At certain times people have been denied exeat for weddings of siblings, visiting sick parents etc.

6) A War Against Traditional Wears And Songs:
The student handbook doesn't prevent this but there has been an halt in student being allowed to wear traditionals. Traditional songs in church have also come under attack.

7) No Peaceful Protest Allowed - Punishment ranges from suspension to expulsion.

Sexual Activities Outside Campus Are Sanctioned.

9) The University handbook permits the university the right to invade your privacy
and search your belongings or devices for incriminating materials such as Porn or past sexual escapades.

10) Secular songs, "ungodly music", are banned in Covenant, Parties are also banned with the exception of picnics which is often monitored by
SDC.

1, 3,4,5,7,8,9 are potentially in violation of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria

POPULAR SCANDALS IN COVENANT

1) Virginity and HIV test conducted by university - Vice Chancellor, Prof. Obayan was summoned by Education Minister and the practice was discontinued.

2) Students suspended for not bringing bible to Church. It's unclear how the case ended.

3) 200 students expelled for not attending a certain departure service where the chancellor was angry. Halls were searched subsequently at about 10:00PM in the night, students in a bid to escape the search team started jumping from one window to the other on the fourth floor! Expulsion letters were dished out to students caught at about 4 - 6AM in the morning. The expulsion verdict was in breach of the prescribed punishment stated on the handbook and was lacking of any hearing stated in the handbook. NUC later intervened and the explusion was reduced to letter of warnings.

4) Students were once expelled for making noise during a football match. Apparently the chancellor warned them repeatedly after which they were expelled for not listening... I don't know if an appeal was accepted.

5) Rumour Alert: A student was once suspended for using two straws to drink coca cola - it is unclear whether this is true or not. But it was a popular rumour in CU.

6) Muyiwa Oludayo, current registrar once led a team to cut student trousers on the streets that were not compliant. While i cannot independently verify this one. CU students have a reputation for wearing trousers that do not reach the ankle which has been an issue between management and student.

7) Dean, Student Affairs, Timothy Anake a clearly disturbed individual led a team to cut the hair of hundreds of boys for misbehaving in faith tabernacle.

OTHER THINGS

1) Rules are relaxed for international students #Hypocrisy Some are allowed to have long hairs, other males are allowed to keep jelled hair. An American accent can keep away SDC in CU

2) Results are sent to parents with or without student permission - i don't really have a problem with this really.

3) Student council members are imposed by the school.

THE CORE PROBLEM OF COVENANT UNIVERSITY

The problem of Covenant University is the Seven core values which is absent of LOVE. Love, Mercy and Forgiveness are values alien to Covenant university. When you remove love and mercy then christianity is unrecognizable. Covenant university can become the world's best university if it wants but if it continues to abandon the important tenet of love then it has no value.

COVENANT UNIVERSITY A POTENTIAL DANGER TO CHRISTIANITY!
Covenant university: A time ago i witnessed two 500 level boys of CU blasting the idea of Christianity and making tremendous arguments against God. Most serious christians around that place just flee because those guys were dangerously intelligent. It made me sad that most Christians there were running away rather than engaging them. I did engage them though.

Now the interesting thing is the boys appeared to have become Atheists on CU campus. Secondly a friend told me before leaving for a university in Canada that all the services he has been forced to attend is enough to last his entire lifetime therefore he won't go to church again.

Now CU failed because we didn't focus on the right message. CU teaches you well when it comes to conquering the world, daring the impossible, making exploits. But messages on love, mercy, grace, charity(also important) were not propagated as radically as it should have, therefore we created a campus of spiritual but loveless beings.

COVENANT THE ANNOINTED!
Covenant is an highly annointed university, despite her shortcomings. I knew that clearly because the Holy Spirit led me to that school. My initial plan was to attend a prominent Christian school in the US, but God wanted me in CU. I am forever proud of that heritage, in that though i struggled it gave me the opportunity to encounter Christ.

The reassignment of Pastor Victor Oluwadamilare to CU marked the period of an intense move of the Holy Spirit. It was so intense that people who would rather hide under the bed than go to church would come to church with enthusiasm. Drug addicts and Porn addicts in their numbers would come and repent on the alter in brokenness. Some boys would complain bitterly that their lovers were no longer agreeing to have sex because they had gone with the move on campus. That was revival inspired by fire not by control. Infact Victor gave people the choice to come and came they did.

IT IS TIME FOR CU TO BECOME BETTER AND RISE ABOVE PETTY RELIGIOSITY AND BECOME AN AMMUNITION FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Oga explain dis








Meanwhile Nigerians aren't suing them to court for senseless expulsion. Once they start that in numbers, The school will peddle back

And they will be calling unilorin advanced secondary school as if we're not better by far... Like if you prefer unilorin rules

tamethem:
Musa go and start your jihad talk on a Muslim section. You calling CU a concentration camp is an insult to the body of Christ. This is a Christian matter let the Christians do the bashing here if need be.


You are saying they told someone to remove her scarf because she looks like a Muslim. It is their school for Gods sake. They have the right to dictate how they want ppl to behave on their campus.

You talk as if you Muslims are more hospitable but your rules in the Muslim Section of NL alone has exposed you guys as Sick Hypocrites.

Answer this question do you allow Christians into your section on NL where everyone is even faceless talk less allowing a person looking like a Christian to your Islamic schools especially when they have a Cross as a pendant or ladies with uncovered heads.

Mind your Evil Jihadist Business plssssssss!

You are maybe one of oyedepo worshippers. Did I say I'm speaking for muslims, when they can speak for themselves. When did I disclose my name to you. Why is lying in some people's Dna? Mr man go and settle with the moderators for barring you guys from muslim section . You may beg them as you please that your insults won't happen again.

If you dont like their rules, then dont attend the university.

CodeTemplar:
School or university is not a place to see the world but a place to get educated and improve the body of knowledge for humanity sake.
There are many closed campuses around the world and I wonder how you will reduce university system to a carnival-like gathering of youths.
The school don't admit by force. The highest jamb scorer this year opted for CU.

You are just contradicting yourself.

Is seeing the world not part of education? What is the benefit of denying students phones? Is education supposed to be classroom-based alone

Freedom goes with education. You can't throw freedom away and expect to produce well-rounded graduates.

If you can't abide by rules,why going there?

BluntBoy:

Freedom goes with education. You can't throw freedom away and expect to produce well-rounded graduates.

If education is by use of phones and absolute social freedom then what about those who can't afford phones?
Social freedom has help our direction less youth redefine education in a very bad way.
The freedom to bend to peer pressure of cultism and likes now defines education more because those thing can help graduates make money in easier ways than labour or skills. Pathetic thinking.

PROPHETmichael:
If you don't like it, don't go there.
It's as simple as that.

No, we can't harbour everything in our society

Govt should ever be ready to stop moves that is against human right.

Yes, including maltreatment of staff.

Is this a school or penitentiary/prison? What is their business with the students sex life outside the school premises? Why enforcing christianity religion on the students? Education shouldn't be mixed with religion. The school is even against the constitution of the country, which is the supreme law. Despite all their tough rules, some of the students still engage in immorality.

To start with, Nigeria government and human rights can't be in the same sentence.
Secondly, there are many universities in Nigeria, Choose the one that suits you. It's like saying Nigeria should bend the law to accommodate gays and rapist coz according to them, they were born with it; instead of them to quitely move to where they can freely exhibit their beliefs without fear of being victimised.

Even the things you mention, Nigerian as a nation is already against them so I don't see their chances of adopting them.
Acting with Nigeria existing law will not harm them as an institution.

the rules are so perfect. teaching young people how to make use of their Bible instead of claiming they have it on their phones. if Muslims set up a university,I bet its only Muslims that will go there why have a problem with Christian university? if you are not a christian, don't go there. why will they observe Muslim holidays? that institution is for a holy nation, a peculiar people, a royal priest hood. if you have problem with the sch withdraw you child. don't try to change it and it won't be changed. the Bible says do not be equally yolked with unbelievers

This is ridiculous lol convenant commandments if this law is laid down in the days of Israelites they can't last 7days in the wilderness haha too much law in cu if they want to make constituency they should rather let nuc know that they want to transform to house of assembly instead of imposing law like

Calling CU a secondary school is trivialising the abnormalcy going on. CU is more of a religious concentration camp.

There are many universities like this in Indonesia and Saudi, but i don't think Nigeria or Christianity needs this. My secondary school would never expel a person for sex committed outside school.

Universities like CU existed in USA/Canada but the govt, courts forced them and is still forcing them to accept reasonable level of secularism.

Mind you there are many Islamic universities in Nigeria hiding under the cover unpopularity to implement CU like policy.

But i know the heavy media bombardment at CU would cause it to change at some point. They no longer release statements because they know their activities are indefensible.....

You just had to lie to save the face of CU. Bring proof or just anything to back up your claim.

Mr2wealth post=71196065.:
It is not by force to attend private universities. Especially Convent University. If you don't like or can't keep their laws, rules or regulations, stay away. We have enough federal and state universities for those that cannot afford to go to these private "unis"

And you wonder why Africa will always be where it is. Many European and American countries were like this before, but now, their governments had corrected so many wrongs which they believed at one point in the past were right.
Nigeria constitution unconditionally guarantee us some rights and freedom. And don't forget that constitution is supreme.

the rules are so perfect. teaching young people how to make use of their Bible instead of claiming they have it on their phones. if Muslims set up a university, I bet its only Muslims that will go there why have a problem with Christian university? if you are not a christian, don't go there. why will they observe Muslim holidays? that institution is for a holy nation, a peculiar people, a royal priest hood. if you have problem with the sch withdraw you child. don't try to change it and it won't be changed. the Bible says do not be equally yolked with unbelievers

How sure are you about that part? Remember, we have Islamic based university in Nigeria already.

tamethem:
Are you saying fundamental rights?

Fundamental right you signed to for go when you were being admitted. You signed that you have given me the right to deny you that fundamental right.

Duely signed by you and your parents when it was not done in the dark. You read it and signed it.

CU has the right to lay any rules down, you too have the right to reject it and throw their admission at their face and walk away to Uni Ife, Ibadan, LASU etc.

No infringement done here. None!

I don't think any judge or court will agree with you.

By anonymous? Wonderful!

The style of writing gives the author away, and I believe other readers can easily guess the writer. Who is the major poster of news about Christians and Covenant University on nairaland?

We may have several students of the institution on this forum but only one of them goes this far to write and argue for/against the school. Even the method of presentation of arguments and use of language is also apparent.

Moving away from that, the fact remains that those rules are what brought Covenant University this far. If they changed all the rules because people cried foul, would they have achieved this much?

If you don't like their system, drop out! If you're not yet in the school, apply for federal universities and enjoy your fair share of the annual strike.

It's bad to be part of a system you voluntarily agreed to join only to start making posts like this. And worse still, you hide behind "anonymous" to post it.

And to cap it all, if God sent you there to learn as you said, keep quiet and learn what you need to learn - then leave when you're done. Or did God send you there to be an activist?

You're a believer, I suppose and you can engage me biblically if you think my position is wrong. I have not denied your points, I've merely asserted that you have the choice to leave, and that by virtue of the fact that God directed you there to learn, learn all you need to and move on.


P. S
I'm no covenant university student. I just love to see from another angle. Cheers!

What brought other private universities this far, oga?
