Even in AL-Hikmah university, all students must take an Islamic Course or else forfeit their studentship. Even though i don't believe in allah, i still have to abide by the codes, now isn't that bleeped up. Please let CU be, it's a private entity and they have inside regulations, if you are not cool with this, seek an alternative since there are many universities across the country. #shikena  |

Interestingly, the boy even went to a Christian secondary school. Make them just convert to Christianity, simple. |

What the b.l.e.e.p , I have read very inane and stupifyingly dumb post on this thread. How can you say post ume is done to weed out people with bad character. If you do not know , know now that post ume is done to further test a students intelligence , it was brought about cos students use "machinery" and special centres and the post ume would further ascertain the marks tendered by the student. If a student can score 300 in the ume then he should have no problem attaining a 75% score in the post ume. Saying they will be looking for inappropriate entries is just hogwash and doesn't indicate anything about character. |

Zhul-fiqar: the first two had me cracked up. muslim majority my as-s before u start shouting this ur "poor me muslim" bunkum, try to answer my questions highlighted on page 2 funny thing is, this chaps parents ought to be careful before Boko Haram declares fatwa on them. how can a good muslim be fighting to go to christian school?. THAT IS WHAT THE SCHOOL IS, CHRISTIAN SCHOOL! i hear from some students there presently that they do take muslims (the muslims have to abide by xtain stuff tho), so therefore there is something wrong in this boy's case Im sure this is a case where the Boy's father is a muslim and the mother a xtian. hence the muslim/anglican rubbish and why the mother is so adamant he must be admitted. she wan keep up with the joneses by force  can this even occur in a muslim university? i bet they are very modern and accommodating. |

I think there is a mistake somewhere else this should not be allowed. It gives a wrong impression of what the Church and the people of Christ are all about. Jesus tolerated the Samaritan woman before turning her around to become his messenger. This is what I believe is the vision of Bishop Oyedepo as well . Let this error be corrected please. |

HOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People should stop bringing quarels here. People who don't understand or know what and how to say should keep off this thread. As a matter of fact, if u're a BOKO HARAMIST and don't underfstand English shut up pls! COVENANT UNIVERSITY is a Christians university, pure and simple. IF ANY ONE WANT TO B ADMITTED INTO COVENANT UNIVERSITY AT ALL COST THEN, LET HIM OR HER GIVE HIS OR LIFE TO CHRIST, QED! CU has a VISION and MISSION by the founder so if u can't find your feet in it, then don't lobby unecessarily. Pls this is no descrimination, don't try to force urself into a system that can not accommodate u only to attract sympathy. Let NIGERIA be, stop knokcking heads here and there! Thank you all for ur understanding & Remain blessed! |

Bishop Oyedepo’s Convenant University Denies Muslim Students Admission! By Omobolaji Omoyele The dream of Mr. and Mrs. Taiwo Salami of Ijaye Housing Estate at Pen Cinema Agege, Lagos has always been to give their children the best education that will eventually make them useful not only to themselves but also to the society at large. So when their son, Ayomide Abdul Gafar Salami, began preparation to seek admission into a tertiary institution, they took their time to assist him in choosing a university that they believe would instill the best moral and academic development in their son. They (the couple and the boy) decided to choose Covenant University, Ota. “We want the best for our child and we found that the university is one of the best in the country. Apart from this, it ranks as one of the most peaceful and disciplined tertiary institution in the country which is devoid of the dreaded cult activities which have turned most Nigerian universities campuses into abattoir, hence the decision to settle for Covenant University,” Mr. Taiwo Salami, an employee of Eagle Paints at Agidingbi, Lagos explained why he and his wife, devoted Muslims, settled for Covenant University, owned by a fiery Pentecostal Christian organization, Living Faith Christian Ministry a.k.a Winners Chapel. Everything went according to plan at the initial stage. Ayomide sat for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination after filing the admission form online conspicuously choosing Covenant University as his choice of tertiary institution and Chemical Engineering as his choice of course. As a mater of fact, it was his father who filled the form on his behalf. When the result of the examination was released by the examination board, he passed out in flying colours, scoring 295 marks [/b]which was actually the second highest mark scored by students who picked Covenant University as their tertiary institution of choice. Pronto, the boy applied again online for the post-UME test which took place at the university campus. It was another conquering outing for him as he scored 65 marks out of the obtainable 80. Two weeks after the result of the post-UME was released, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) released the school certificate examination result and again Ayomide had an excellent result. Check it out: English Language, B3;[b] Mathematics, A1; Further Mathematics, A1; Geography, A1; Chemistry, B2; Physics, B2; Biology, B3; Agricultural Science, B3 and Economics, B3 I suspect "fowl" playing in the result, besides what happened to Al-Hikmah or even Kwara State University |

That is why it is called [size=18pt]private [/size]University You want to sue CU. Go ahead and sue. And when you get to court just drop this line. As muslims, we forcefully want to gain admission into a [size=18pt]religious private[/size] University. But the school bounced us. Na by force ? Nasfat university is there ? oh ooooo, Nasfat is not good enough. I c |

Nigeria truly has a long way to go. If the school is not a seminary or theological school, then every citizen has a right to attend. Simple! |

You Idi*ts and a**holes felt it was right 4 sanusi lamido to legitimise islamic (sharia patterned) banking but think Oyedepo does not have d right to stop prospective Abdulmutallabs from being admitted into his University.Oh God,visit ur anger on the children of the uncircumcised who are using every means(even Nairaland) to terrorise ur children. |
| Re: Muslim Students Denied Admission At Oyedepo’s Covenant University by Xfactoria: 4:02pm On Sep 30, 2011 |
Although this seems clearly discriminatory and against the law but there are some salient issues that should override our sympathy for this poor boy: 1. What happens if the boy gets in and refuse to go to the chapel to pray every morning knowing that this is compulsory for all students? 2. What happens if the boy decides to do his mandatory 5times daily prayers and the school authorities says its not allowed? And then his troublesome parents sue the school for infringing on their son's fundamental right of association? Knowing muslims for how they like to forment trouble. 3. How do you want the University to feel on hearing that one of the students they trained is leading an Islamic terrorist organization years after he graduated from the school? Imagine what that will do to their rating and image. The best way to catch your enemy unawares is to pretend to be his friend. The school may be weary of this. Covenant University is a Christian University. Let muslims seek admission elsewhere to avoid trouble. |

With the present rate at which almajiris are running wild, killing innocents, and burning up shyt, I doubt if they would want his type in their school. Sorry, that just the way it is. |

| Re: Muslim Students Denied Admission At Oyedepo’s Covenant University by DonPizzaro: 4:20pm On Sep 30, 2011 |
It is not a must that Muslims must attend Christian schools. For heaven’s sake they can create their BokoHaram or Jihad University and use sharia law to run the institution and do what they like.Nobody will question them. Leave Convenant university alone and allow them to make their rules. Afterall the school was founded and funded by Christians. Admitting more muslims will create more problems for the institutuion than they have already witnessed. As muslims become more copious in CU, they will begin to place a lot or Islamic demands such as: Praying Times, Praying Spaces, Islamic dresses, Mosques, Islamic programmes Islamic modus operandi. All these will definitely generate friction.But with BokoHaram University such will cause no hitch. The Muslims can also attend secular universities or Schools like ABTI,nasfat univesrsity. As for Islamic banking,we will see how far it will go. Even if it is of any value at all,Christians will not struggle with people who will be discriminating against them. They will simply create their own ZION BANK that will do the Job Satisfactorily. |

As for Islamic banking,we will see how far it will go. What is wrong with your head ? What beaf do you have about Islamic bank ? You people cant just stop amusing us! Why creating topic out of non-topic. Sharia banking has been in the USA for decade. Have you heard about it ? How popular is it! Abeg look for something meaningful to think of |

[b]I'm sure every man and his dog in Nigeria knows that the said University is a private,Christian university. Its not just a University but an indirect extension of the Church's wings,and there are thousands of Religious tertiary institutions like that that also cater for Buddhists,Taoists, Confucians, Hindu monks and their children.etc in various parts of the world. Though,i might have my own reservations about the University but they have exclusive rights to OFFER and DENY admission to whoever it is, and if they deem it fit that they don't want an applicant,only a Law court can overturn that. Moreover,applicants don't DEMAND admission. BTW With the religious naivety and intolerance that abounds in Nigeria,the last place i would want to take my child to is A OR ANY religious institution. However,it was the parents' choice anyway and i think Covenant univ. shouldn't be the only or religious univ. in Nigeria. Also the applicant's form was said to contain conflicting information. I've never seen a Muslim catholic,or Anglican.etc. That might even have stirred the first pair of eyebrows.  [/b] |

I am not a huge fan of Oyedepo or his University but i am in totally in support of what the university did. Why should admit the boy? With the growing insecurity in the country today one should not underestimate the risk in allowing muslim faithfuls gain access into Christian Institutions. If anyone is not okay with it, then they should build their own Private Islamic University since there is Islamic Banking. Afterall, u never know whether that boy might be a potencial suicede bomber. restimate the risk in allowing muslim faithfuls gain access into Christian Institutions.
