Covenant would have been much more appreciated, if as a missionary institution their fees are very modest.

Covenant members who are struggling, I bet you can read this insult on you people

Well, I don't blame Oyedepo, I blame those who continue to go there and drop last pennies.

Convenant University can actually be made cheap without losing standards.

All the owners need is to cut down on personal expenditures. If it takes 1 billion naira to fund Oyedepo's lifestyle in a year, he could cut it down to 20 million so that more brilliant but poor candidates can apply to his school.

Then, the church owners could invest in more lucrative businesses, not for personal gains, but to help more students who are brilliant but are not financially buoyant.

Learnstuffs:
My only problem with the university is that the congregation whose contributions built the school cannot even afford the school fees

Free the sheeple

damoobaba:
Start your own church, make enough money, build primary schools,secondary schools,universities for the poor, and RUN them for FREE. ITS VERY EASY. Wish you best of luck. The poor will appreciate it,especially Northerners.

Badmod:
I like Bishop Oyedepo as a person though and what He stand for...
But I get confused alot by what I like about him.
I once told a fellow that I contributed N20 to the building and development of CU,and He said if it's Because of my N20 I started having some sense of entitlement that He will refund me.
I told him,"you can't afford it,not just you but Oyedepo himself can't afford it"....
A primary school pikin wey contribute N20 to donate as far back as 1996...
.....the truth is Winners Chapel can afford to run these schools,covenant and Landmark on 100% scholarship...let it be the school for the genius among us...I will contribute a million naira now or more for it to be school that model the best of the best of the next generation...
I still can't see why I contributed N20 and a poor guy like my dad couldn't send his wards to that institution...
My opinion....but I actually feel robbed.

DaySpringer:
Sit down,

Calculate the salaries of the professors are being paid every week there.

Calculate the thousands of dollars being paid to bring in high standard of professors from outside the country.

Calculate how much is being paid in salaries to maintain the buildings and infrastructure.

Calculate how much is being paid to maintain 24 hour light in the school.

Calculate how much has been paid to bring in world class equipment in learning.

Now look at your entire families Net worth and ask yourself whether you can keep covenant running for a month!
With your #20 you feel robbed.

You are a thief, but you don't know it.

Your public universities that are supposed to be operating at a world class standards, what is being done there?

lereinter:
That's the sign "star of David"
The sign on the Great Israel flag
No wonder the school is growing great.

KOFO1759:
People kept saying Christian university are expensive, been compared to government but we have seen what they have achieved. More so we should investigate what it takes to run a standard private university. But paying lecturers and professors and other staff are not modest if I may say...building infrastructure expenses are not modest too, supply of power are not modest too..thank you

HRHQueenPhil:
Cant wait for wen I can afford to save 4million to do masters degree

izeksblog:
Taaaaa. Scam scam scam schools that contracts profs from federal universities to come in and lecture are being ranked over the federals? I severe with couple of students from that school with cgpa of 4.3minimum, those guys got nothing to offer but big big English.

Some faculties in that school have one prof and most federal universities have over 7 profs in minimum. I beg wetin be the standard for the ranking again kwa?

Mays24:
I just love the architecture of this institution

flourishing247:
Over 7 prof producing half baked graduates. Before you scream your head off. I interview people on a regular and I'm always shocked at the level of ignorance going on in the universities. Hustle and send your children to good schools

izeksblog:
No school in this country is good. But federal schools in this country have produced better eggs than private ones.
In my opinion, your level of intellect is strongly determined by your tutors.
There is no way you can compare a private university to a public one in that regard

Carlyscales:
U can be sure one the reasons why you are reading all this about covenant uni is that high fees.

Higher education funding is not beans and never for the faint hearted. Most first grade university education is not cheap anywhere in the world. If it's cheap? Somebody somewhere is paying u can be sure. Yes there should be scholarship for high performing and indigent church members. But never low fees or cheap education. If the fees are very affordable and the school becomes self financially. unsustainable. The same church members will soon start complaining over the burden of contributing to sustain CU.

The difference between CU n ur normal
secular university in nijja is that CU generates the money internally and shrewdly accounts n reinvests it in the school according to their vision, while secular collects same form Govt and squanders it dubiously without any vision n commitment.

Oyedepo n winners takes full responsibility for CU, while even ur president is nonchalant and laccadesical over the warfare of the people, let alone the secular university administrators.


Remember the saying that the Goat owned by the whole village will soon die of malnutrition n neglect. While the one owned by a single poor villager survives.
My Rev in Anglican church and lecturer in Anglican Univ has all his children schooling in CU. Why didn't he send them to Ajayi Crowther Univ Oyo? The answer is simple while one is affordable, the other is expensive but got all the standard n quality.

NigPatriot:
Stop saying what you're not sure of bro, I spent years in that school and I can enthusiastically tell you that no structure there is falling apart. The buildings are top notch and constantly maintained

jrondit:
Why not use such amount of money to go study abroad?

Kaa4:
No you don't need NGN4 million. You need only NGN475,000 per annum. You are welcome!

airsaylongcon:
Really? With all the leaky pipes? And all the visible structural damages from water seeping into the walls? Okay sorry o. The buildings aren't falling apart. They are built to last ehn

DaySpringer:
You've shown that not only are you ignorant. You pull figures out of your arse.

1billion for Oyedepo's personal lifestyle?

Who told you he spends that much in his personal life style?
$228.32k dollars a month? Personal lifestyle?
On what?

Do you have any figures backing that?

Do you have any articles from anyone who made Billions in dollars from business who spends that much on monthly expenditure for "Personal Lifestyle"?

Let's leave that aside.

You want covenant to be made cheap without losing standards? Why don't you demand the same from your public universities who get Millions of Naira in funding and yet maintain shitty standards??

A man works hard to improve the standard of a university and make it world class.

Then you come and leave the hundreds of Federal and state university to come and dictate to him what he should do with his PERSONAL MONEY for people to come into the school.

You have a big entitlement mentality but you don't know it.

You think it is cheap to run a school of that magnitude and class?

Look at another post of mine on this thread


You think that standards are made easily?

You're ignorant.

Who told you that the school doesn't already offer scholarships?

Go and check out the average student loan debt for a single student in the United States.

Calculate Covenant school fees for a single student and then multiply it by 4 years, convert it to Naira and then see if it is up to half of what is obtainable for Public institutions in the United States.

Now look at the economic situation of the country and ask yourself whether the country's environment itself supports the establishment of Schools of that quality.

But as usual your ignorance plus entitlement mentality feels that because he's a pastor, all the money he owns in this life came from the offering of his members and nothing else, thus you can sit there and dictate what he does and how he does it.

Giving you a university that is Standard in a shit hole country like this is not enough, you want him to make it cheap too.

Go to American University of Nigeria Yola and tell them the same thing too.
