Make he quit the school nah
It's like going to a catholic school and expecting them to do Muslim prayer or like going to a Muslim schools and expecting them to do christian prayer.
Rules dey nau.

If the university were Islamic and a xtian student was suspended for not attending prayers in the mosque this would have been sensationalized, with low lives crawling out of their caves and spewing trash on Islam. However, because this does not align with their warped and jaundiced opinions on Islam, they have taken tactical sabbatical leave on Nairaland. In theory, muslims are painted as intolerant, in practice, some ppl truly take the crown.

Kingsean:
crap... you are a Muslim that don't wanna attend church programmes and u go to a Christian university. you are forming stubborn and crying everywhere. rubbish. if u cannot cope, don't attend the school. its a faith based school. its even on their website. i don't know why people are like this

But to be honest, say the truth, if this was the other way round would you say this?

Just an honest question, no sentiments attached

I don't understand o.

Is Adeleke University now a Christian university?

yes , just like crescent University that's Muslim

or do u want them to write it adeleke Christian University ?

u have to read and understand about a particular school before u enroll , u don't go and enroll in Madonna school and be against Catholic ways of teaching

you can't do such in Muslim schools, Christians who work under Muslim institutions have a way of showing respect but Muslims don't show respect

Lukgaf:
The authorities of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, Nigeria, has suspended the studentship of a part three Law student, Lawal Toheeb, for failure to attend the university’s imposed numerous chapel activities.

In a letter of suspension, signed by the school registrar, Mr. Oyerinde Caleb Oyejola JP, that was handed over to the affected student on 10th December, 2019, the university says, inter alia, ‘The President/Vice-Chancellor considered the report of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee that found you guilty of gross disrespect to Constituted Authority. The Vice-Chancellor subsequently approved that you should be suspended from all academic activities in the University for One Semester to commence second semester of 2019/2020 academic session in line with the sanction in the Students’ Handbook…’.

Lawal Toheeb was invited to face the disciplinary committee on 3rd Decemeber, 2019, at the Senate Building of the school, that has persons like Pastor Andrew Emuroutu, Mrs. Omije; the Chief Security Officer of the School, Mr. Kola Ojetoye; Professor Oguntoyinbo Atere, the Dean of Students’ Care; as members. The Panel was chaired by the school registrar, Mr. Oyerinde Caleb Oyejola.

According to Lawal Toheeb, all his pleas to the panel that he is a Muslim fell on their deaf ears. He said they all alluded to the fact it was a mandatory rule of the school that all students must attend the chapel services.

The school Sabbath Worship takes place 8-45am to 9-15am on Saturdays, so also in the evenings of Wednesdays and Saturdays, as contained in page 49 of the student’s handbook.

This website confirmed that the Sabbath activities on Saturdays used to end by 12 noon, while the ones in the evening of Wednesdays are till sunset.

The Handbook states, ‘careful preparation should be made for the Sabbath especially on Friday before sundown: clothes and shoes to be worn on Sabbath should be made ready between (5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m.).’

‘The following are activities that are in harmony with the spirit of the Sabbath observance: (a) Attending religious services, (b) Maintaining reverence during the worship, (c) enjoying church fellowship,’ the Handbook also states.

In our investigation, the school operates a merit/demerit system for obedience or disobedience to the various rules and regulations of the school among which is compulsory attendance of chapel services where the Seventh Day Church doctrines such as singing, dancing, preaching and host of other activities, hold sway. There are a number of chapels such as Shalom Chapel, Salvation Chapel, Grace Chapel, Praise Chapel, Peace Chapel, etc., that all the students have been grouped.

Non-attendance of chapel programme attracts a 10-point demerit, which was formerly a 5-point, according to our findings. A student who has amassed between 10 and 60 points of demerits may be asked to carry out a community service such as sweeping the floor of the surroundings, cutting the grass, cleaning the gutters, or other dirty jobs, all in the university arena. But at any point above 60 demerits, the student will be summoned to face a disciplinary panel from where he can be suspended and eventually expelled from the school if he is returned and does not comply with the law of compulsory chapel attendance.

However, according to Lawal Toheeb, in his personal report he forwarded to this website, ‘The genesis significantly began at a screening interview held on the 3rd of November 2017 where I appealed to the board that I am not willing to compromise my religion by attending the Sabbath worship.’

‘I said, ‘I hope there is a concession for me’. However, it was the Students Care Dean’s voice I heard first, remarking that ‘No! If you refuse to abide by the law of the land then be ready to be expelled from this school,’’ he said further.

‘The school exercises continued and my artless mind remained in trauma… I had to attend the chapel worships every Wednesday evening and Saturday, morning and evening. Then a week soon came that the attendance ran on for a whole week and no days were spared. When present in the service, we were obliged to throw all worries behind and ‘stand with those who stood’. ‘to sit as others did’ they would not mind if we clapped along also. They would always ask for that and persuade us to close eyes as they pray.’

‘Each day we were found unyielding, they would seize our cards and scare us with demerit points or community services.

'I was once caught in my room by the Hall officers on a Sabbath morning and dragged to the security post. ‘I’m a Muslim’ I objected but they were always gutsy and swift to reply ‘other Muslims are there.’ I found my way back in having spent about an hour loitering aimlessly around the Security Post awaiting sanction.’

In the tail end of the report, the student wrote: ‘Earlier this semester, I faced Disciplinary Committee on charges of the non-attendance of Sabbath worships and not appearing before the panel back then. I explained again, ‘I am a Muslim and I hold a different belief and that I once appeared back then too but left for exams’ but they were indifferent.

Then the officers came for me yesterday about 4:pm and was led to the CSO who asked, if you would be indifferent why did you remain here? And I frankly replied ‘I never knew it is Zero Tolerance if I don’t compromise’. He couldn’t say anything to it. Asked me to be taken to the Senate for the letter.

And just yesterday sir, I was served a suspension letter by Mrs. Ajayi on those charges for a full semester commencing January (I have attached the suspension letter) also.’ End of quote.

Meanwhile, the school has always claimed that it does not force the Muslim students to attend church services in the school, in a statement credited to the Vice Chancellor of the school, Professor Samuel Ekundayo Alao, that appeared in an interview he granted a newspaper outfit of the school, Adeleke Star, in its November 18, 2019, edition, he said, ‘such malicious rumour cannot be spread by Muslim students in the institution who are enjoying the freedom to practice their religion and other benevolent acts of the institution.’ The newspaper also alluded to him as saying that the large number of students in the school are well treated.

Many other Muslim students who do not wish that their names be published for fear of possible backlash from the school authorities have said the VC is being economical with the truth. For instance, some of them cited an instance of forbiddance of observance of Muslim daily prayers in the school. They said attempts to use makeshift places for prayers have always been met with harsh actions from the agents of the school. They say the school only makes a-once-in-a-week political Jumaht attendance at Adeleke mosque in the town, a case of spoiling the students for six days and trying to show the world they are well treated for just a day, this investigation discovers.

It would be recalled that this website carried the story of a female Muslim student who had to leave the university when she was refused the use of Hijab. There are many other cases of Muslim students leaving the school in the face of intimidation.

To an outside world, Adeleke University depicts the look of a secular private university but which findings have shown is doctrinally a Seventh Day Adventist Church University

why can't d boy change to Christianity

is it by force to change to Christian?

LegendHer0:


You are saying rubbish. Why did they accepted a Muslim into their institution in the first place?

Why is a university even making it compulsory for students to attend churches when they are not kindergarten. This also applies to the Christian on the school, so I will always need to be at the chapel everytime even if it’s against my will?

Government need to change some laws governing this private universities coz these guys are currently managing them like a cult group.

But why are you behaving like this? Is it by force to go to the same school with Christians?

We have cresecent university, Sapon, Ogun State owned by Hon. Justice Bola Ajibola. You muslims can enrol there now. We do t like all these wahala you guys are causing everywhere ooo. Don’t u get tired of trouble?

"did they accepted"

Who allowed children into this discourse? This reasoning above is only found among disoriented primary pupils

The boy should withdraw from the school & enrol in cresecent university now. Why make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Is it not by force to mix with Christians. Muslims should form their own schools too.

Yes it is, owned by the Seventh day Adventist Church.

Watch and see Stupidity from my Christian Brothers if it happens something like this to a christian in any northern or any Muslim Majority state.
Just rcently a yahoo pastor accused Muslims of forcing Christians girls to marry them.
What is wrong with us IJN��

Don't be unfortunate, you sound like a Muslim, don't bother whitewashing your comment, a Muslim majority state openly discriminate against Christians,

What is the meaning of @boldened? you are desperately trying to sound like a Christian, and woefully failing

Biglittlelois:



Nobody makes it look like anything, if you read their student handout and rules and regulations, you'd see it's faith based, if you cant cope, leave.

Where you given the student handout and rules/regulations before you enrol?

Bros you’re the one being hypocritical about it, I believe before you got into school you were giving the rule book to study the rules and regulation, so why accept the admission after reading the terms and condition of the school.
Same thing happen in Muslim schools too, If I carry myself go find admission for Muslim school I should be ready to do their bidding at least for the time I will be there.

Biglittlelois:

This is fraud regardless. Most schools give student handouts only when tuition has been paid. It will only be wise if they portray themselves as a church university for the general public to know.

Christians don’t go to muslim schools. We have too many good Christian schools for Christians to consider going to a Muslim school.

It seems you don’t know scary Islam is for Christians.

. change to Christianity because of a school? wtf

The school should have revealed that they're a strict faith based institution before admitting students. Their ads only showed that their aim was to build an affordable private university for the middle class. We assumed it was another ABUAD or Lead City uni with cheaper fees. No part did they say it was faith based only for them to start forcing their beliefs on students after collecting fees. A lot of students would have withdrawn if inter-university transfer was possible amongst private schools.

Christian university indeed

You knew it was faith based school, You read there rules before applying so why complaining now....
Sometimes I don't get how people reason...

Your answer to that guarantees your deliverance

Sorry, student.

This is between you & the school. Nigeria is constitutionally a secular country. If you don't understand what this means, go to court but I advise you don't waste time & money. Your elders attended missionary schools & mingled with other faiths as part of their personal development as well-rounded individuals useful to God and man without any issue.

Examples:
The late Oyo Governor Lam Adeshina was chapel prefect at Loyola College Ibadan. He was and died a muslim.
The Alaafin of Oyo was active in the school chapel at St Gregory's College Lagos.

You are in no way more knowledgeable about faith than these people.

It is on the school website, brochures and student handbook, he paid for, signed, collected and read them before he applied and was admitted.

He has no excuse

That's the only thing.

A phone can look like Android, but read the instructions to know if it's Android or IOS.

It's simple.

That's why there's a caveat T&C

Will u stop being sentimental and say things as it is. This things are laid down rules, if u can't abide by it why not leave and save yourself and everyone else concerned from unnecessary trouble, the voice of the people is the voice of God,if we've all agreed we don't want a thing why deliberately enter d system and cause problem na..Let's learn to respect rules and regulations please na new year we dey, if dem say na Amadioha dem dey worship dere if e no sweet u waka go wia suit u, Shikena

Am..a Christian and I'll say I don't support this. You can't force the Muslims to go to school chapel. How will you feel if your daughter who is a Christian to me forced to pertake in mosque activities? The suspensions is totally uncalled for and am certain it won't end well for the school, if this case goes viral .

BluntBoy:

With due respect, it is written boldly on their website that it is a private faith based institution. So, it is a faith based school.
