And some people will be going after pastors, when the real thieves are the politicians they elect to office.

The black man certainly doesn't want to think for himself whether he's in Houston, Texas or sokoto.

are you people not tired? Why can't you allow others serve their God?

HigherEd:
They keep shouting world capital of poverty. Ignorant mofos.

Winners is in 65 nations of the Earth. It has the largest single building church in Eastern and Central Africa. It has churches in several American cities, UAE, Qatar(it has in poor countries too) Infact Nigeria is just the operating base of the church.

At last count the church has over 159 branches in Ghana.

Therefore the church collects revenue in dollars, pounds, diram, naira, cfa, rands, cedi etc so i begin to wonder why a functionally educated person would correllate Winners wealth with Nigeria's poverty. Churches that are cross national are usually very wealthy.... No big deal

are u in Canaanland? Please be a part of this shiloh. Its my best ever

Will the specialized classes be shown as province center?

teetee2:
@teeteekay. Pls come to Shiloh 2018 with a particular request and sow anything I mean anything, you will come back and testify. I am a living testimony. Then you will see the reason why people give (giving) on that ground to be more blessed.

I see it....I receive it....I believe it...I declare it....I walk in the consciousness of it...am confident God will do it.

Buhari should open one for them. With his salary of course.

princfred:
I refuse to agree they are not for profit making because what they charge in Nigeria and what other profit making universities in Nigeria charge is similar abi the other ones charging similae fees are non profit too?
Though am not even a proponent of churches building industries but am for them building humanitaranian structures instead but if you insist on your point then i ask: so why not non profit industries only charging the cost of production?

please give me example of a "profit making university" in Nigeria?

HigherEd:

Better by far people would soon come for your head.

is this the same as the afdb center for excellence? http://m.covenantuniversity.edu.ng/News/Covenant-Selected-to-Host-African-Development-Bank-s-Center-of-Excellence

He will get another lecturing job easily. Muyiwa is very intelligent.

Covenant leads in every thing.

Pls how far is canaancity from canaanland and is it treakable?

HigherEd:
1) Africa's second biggest christian estate

2) Plans currently underway to link it to Canaancity(another 8,000 hectares procured by church) via an Underground train. This as winners begins to pivot to canaancity.

3) It is a 5,000 acre expanse of land consisting of Covenant University (560acres), Farm(400 acres), Faith Tabernacle(70acres) CU sec school, Faith Academy, Dominion Pub House etc.

4) Home to three mega sized church audituriums
- Faith Tabernacle: 51,400
- CU Chapel 3,500
- Youth Chapel

5) Initial 560 acres was procured at 200 million naira.

6) Houses 2,000 church employees

7) Faith Tabernacle once held the Guiness record for biggest auditorium in the world.

November 2016, 1 billion naira was spent to get Samsung Air condition the whole Auditorium.

9) The City and everything about it was constructed by Nigerian indigenous companies. Not a single foreign company nor foreign contractor. Same policy holds sway for canaancity.


10) As Ota continues to witness meteoric growth due to the invasion of industries, Canaanland still competitively remain one of the most significant landmarks there.

Do you realised many ranking organizations also ranks legon higher (i mean university of Ghana) bro, No single set of rankings is sufficient. Times higer does a good job of capturing high level reputation scores i agree , but are fairly easy to game if you're willing and able, because many of their metrics are game able and focus on campus level statistics which are malleable. It is just a matter of playing the game well. Will love to show a particular university in the usa that was rank between 168 but moved to 48 position in the consequent year.

You yourself can evaluate those school yourself without relying so much on the ranking system. Visit legon yourself and come back to compare it with convenant or perharps ashesi. Also try to look at global reputation. Legon command the highest respect in west africa and ashesi is gradually moving up. Legon had produce four Ghana sitting president( who are either economist or lawyers) Even UI can't pride himself on this.

ABU has produced more presidents than UI, does that mean ABU is better?

If he really said this, then we're in trouble in Nigeria.

Abeg what is her twitter handle?

jennifermahan:
Effanga Marilyn, the female student who was recently embroiled in the Covenant University scandal has released a sexy bikini photo.

The young lady, who was forced to take to Twitter to clear her name after a young man accused her of working with Covenant University to set him up and expel him, released the photo via her Twitter account.

She captioned it: "Embrace your body."

Marilyn Effanga: I Had Sex With Emmanuel Adooh Egerebu - Covenant University Student https://www.nairaland.com/4731910/marilyn-effanga-sex-emmanuel-adooh

HigherEd:
Sample size is small sha. But i'm very confident that any thorough study would still place CU on top.
I'm also at variance with the research methodology. Whenever you want to do an employability survey, it is better to sample Organizations rather than individuals. If you sampled 5,000 HR managers it could be accepted than 5,000 graduates. If you must sample graduates then be ready to sample at least 150,000 graduates x years being considered. After which you would standardize the result according to the graduating class sizes of each university - which would be an incredibly difficult work to do because it would require collecting massive amounts of data. But not impossible.

Anyway kudos to the Stutern team, at least your sample sizes are getting bigger every year. The participation of Jobberman and BudgIt also lends much credibility to the study.
God bless Covenant university!

what if the samples was gotten randomly?

This is a true wife material, stand by your husband nomatter the situation, believing God to perfect his imperfections. Nairaland girls should take note.

HigherEd:
Well thing is I am so nostalgic about this man. I don't even know what to make of him. But I believe the accusations against him are most likely true.

but he didn't force snyone. Most of the ladies involved are also likely as guilty as him. My opinion though.

Congratulations. Highered codetempler

asuustrike1:
Good job. When will they start Medicine?

and law

CodeTemplar:
UI is over 50 years old unlike a 16 years old Covenant University. Get it?
It is only a matter of time.

how do you know UI is ahead, Covenant University was written first and they are in the same ranking category

Interesting. Covenant University is breaking new grounds.

This news has been on for like a month ago

Sorry but I am a journalist. My job is to expose things, not to cover them up

And you were not taught the ethics of journalism? What a paradox!

Where did you study?

grandiose4ever:
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.

student are not forced to attend youth alive at faith tabernacle, the youth alive is organized by the chaplain and its done in the school. Get your facts right.

HigherEd:
Lol wtf!
CU is crazy mehn!
How did your admission eventually go?

didn't workout. Now considering other options. Thanks.

HigherEd:
Here in Nigeria the people are waiting for rccg and winners to tar road for them.

I was in covenant university some days ago, you wouldn't believe that there is now a small poster of the jamb highest scorer at the entrance of the school. Cu is taking packaging and marketing mstrategies to another level. I just hope pressure will not be too much of the boy.

Marriage is not fulfillment

that is not the issue on ground

Bhoomy:
can u compare CU to d likes of UI nd OAU... think again

Covenant is by far better than OAU. Covenant and UI are the only universities indexed by Times Higher Education rankings. Covenant is even way ahead of OAU in webometrics rankings. As at today, Covenant graduates are more preferred than OAU graduates in terms of employment. OAU is past glory.

Vustaqueen:
all of you are scammers using religion to cover face

Meanwhile, you all should please check my signature...thanks

it does not pay in life to make such unfounded statements against men of God, especially not older men. I didn't see the need to check your signature after such degrading remark.

badmrkt:
They have come again. Shey you be spokesman for heaven matters.? There is no where in the Bible where it is written that you must be in church to guarantee your salvation. I like church ooo, but I'm not sure its a straight up ticket for salvation...

he never said its a straight ticket to heaven. Learn to give contextual understanding to statements.

If he remains focus, I'm sure he will fulfil his destiny in Covenant University.

HigherEd:
You are funny. There are numerous folks in CU with over 300 in utme(especially engineering) Covenant is now a top destination for some of the brainiest kids from schools like Presco, Ambassadors college, Loyola, Faith Academy.. CU, abuad, babcock are viable options for parents who don't want to travel their kids out.

these are the people that allow us that scored 255 not to get admission in first batch, even for MIS. CU is very competitive because of the limited space.
