I don't understand all these media rants here and there.

Every organization, institution or company have their rules, their code of conduct.

If you don't like it, you fall out, no shekes.

And from my experience in boarding, there would have been some news making rounds within the campus before implementation, so it is not as if they woke up one morning to have their heads shaved without prior notice.

When you're in a place governed by laws, you obey the laws. If you feel obeying the laws will be an infringement of your rights, then leave and go to where your rights is law!

Abi, shey dem no sign terms and conditions of admission?

And about the issue of sterility, I would say we are myopic, CU isn't a school that will be so careless not to enforce personal hygiene then go on to shave heads with just a clipper?

And even if it was a short sight on the part of CU, don't you think God is able to bar whatever demon n charge of whatever infection you guys are talking about to His glory?

A place where people go get get healing to diseases science haven't documented is where people are sighting the occurrence of infections?

Then I ask why do we follow Jesus if He can't even cover our blindsides?

Biko, don't underrate God!

This is open to interpretations.
What do you mean in simple english?

Iko5000:
Please don't use God name in this as this has nothing to do with God . This is a decision made by a man to implement , it has nothing to do with God values or the bible .

Throwback:
Earlier in the week, we were regaled by news that Covenant University embarked on a forced hair cutting for its male student population. The video of same also surfaced leaving many to wonder on the appropriateness of this action from the following standpoints

-Personal hygiene and public health, seeing that a single clipper was reused immediately for all.
-Fundamental human rights of an adult in a higher institution.
-The needlessness of the act as the video only showed students with regular moderate hair level being cut down to reveal the scalp.
-The hypocrisy of an older generation of adults to demonize the same hair levels and styles that were the norm in their days.
-The unrelenting demonization of the African hair by Africans and the bald headed.

Based on the last 2 points, I present to you younger pictures of Bishop David Oyedepo who is the founder of the school, to underscore the hypocrisy that history reveals.

Infact, I dare say that the likes of Matthew Ashimolowo, Pastor Adeboye and Ayo Oritsejafor cannot escape a scalp revealing haircut in a school like Covenant University, that has insisted that every male student must carry a bald head like its founder.

Does the headowner "Olori" not have rights over his own body?

Simple English is short of words to express my reply but the reply I gave you was apt and complete.

It may be open to interpretations but the message is clear. VERY CLEAR.

Not everyone understands English though, so I understand your predicament.

The overzealousness is really coming from the staff and not necessarily the church.

Shut up.... So it's wrong to wear afro now but wasnt wrong when the General Overseers were young?

Are you seriously mocking my comprehension after making this contradictory statement:
It may be "open to interpretations" but the "message is clear". VERY CLEAR.

GavelSlam:
Do what I say, don't do what I do.

HeyCorleone:



So you would not sterilize a clipper and you expect God in His majesty and infinitness to stop whatever consequences may come about as a result of your ineptitude?

Why is it that the moment some people become born again they become bereft of common knowledge?


And I think these principles of the CU only encourages outward righteousness. Trust me most of the girls there are low-key prostitutes. They get to unwind during the holidays.

So what exactly is all these unnecessary overprotectiveness for?

donblazer10:
I put it to you that you're mad

Aceed:


Mr. unbeliever, don't put words in my mouth.

I said if it was a hindsight on the part of CU that God can take care of it...not that if CU wanted to knowingly infect their students...

And BTW, the brainwashed lingo you all have been using since ages have been washed in themselves, please restock your vocabulary.

MaziOmenuko:
Hypocrites everywhere! How can you forcefully barb an adults hair because he is a student in your school? What is wrong with the african hair? same hair they rocked while they were much younger? Blody hypocrites.

And someone down here is saying since it is his school, he has the right to act savagely. That is the typical dark mentality that beclouds our sense of reasoning. So if I run an eatery and you come to my eatery to buy food, I have every right to serve you crawling insects? Because its my eatery and inasmuch as you are paying for the food, I can poison you willingly since you refuse to use other eateries?



Nonsense!

Untainted007:


Sorry o Mr Believer, na only you believe for your mind abi? I wonder how your cognitive mode of reasoning function appropriately. In a nutshell you are defending CU for the silly acts they performed on their students' head yet you are here attaching it to God ability of healing people after it might av been inflicted due to carelessness. Do you intentionally inflict pains on others so they can serve God or you think if God does not draw people to Himself any man can do that? Regardless of your appearance God does not condemn. He works with the hearts of men not facial expressions. You know nothing when it comes to using the right biblical passages to address issues.

nightmile:
Nigerians with their myopic way of reasoning, allow this air cut freedom in that school and you will begin to see fake dada and Pogba kind of hair style. If you can not obey the school rules and regulation move else where. Stop this noise. Most of the students in question have their school code of conduct signed by their parent.
