In February 2013, 28 students of Redeemers University were
expelled by the university for allegedly failing drug tests. The tests were conducted last November for 42 students during their exam. The expulsion generated a lot of criticisms causing the school to rescind its decision in April. The school wrote letters to the affected students asking them to face a panel to explain why they failed
the test, after which the panel would make a new judgement.
Well, the school has reviewed the case and has decided to re-admit all 28 students on the condition that the students will miss a whole semester and go for five month rehabilitation at a rehab centre. A decision that didn't go down well with the affected students and their parents.

This reminds me of Caritas University. Glorified Secondary school.
See their mouth like rehabilitation center. Last time I checked, it's only addicts dat needs rehabilitating. We nigerians likes copying and along the line their over sabi makes dem over copy
Nice one! The students idiosyncrasies should be checked now more.
Gud for them,1st 2 comment lol.

Can't people live an upright life? I taya!

~D great anonymous!
What do dey expect the school authority to do?to just leave d students like dat and use dia own to destroy other students.I think dis judgement is fair enough,if dey don't want it den dey shld send their children abroad or watever.
Pls when will pst Biodun Fatoyinbo com out wt his so called "powerful" response?Im fast losing my christian patience o!
Wow, only in nigeria that students will be re-admitted after failing a drug test. To make it worse instead of the parents to be upset that their kids are drug addicts and they should enter a rehab ASAP, they are angry at school officials. WOW, what has really happened to the parental responsibilities in this supposed conservative country. Oh i almost forgot a country where parents buy degree certificates for their kids. Well done future generations. hahahahaha!!!!!!
Kids,DON'T DO DRUGS!
Its ok for unis to try to uphold a high moral standard but truth is,kids will be kids.
If they don't experiment with drugs now then when would they?
Interesting to hear...
Wow! Gud 2 hear dat. Nice one Linda, dis is exactly d kind gist I expect frm u, thanks a lot. Congrats to the students.
Dats a very gud consideration
Na wa o! Am sure sm of dem ll b children of pastors or bishops!GHUS
Na wa o!vry sure dat some of d students involved mayb pastors or even bishop children! MGHus
Just plain stupid what parents are becoming these days: shouldn't the question be why their kids are taking illegal drugs?!?!? #endtimes
If they're not happy with it, they should go and write Ume again
Prince charming don start again o!!! Which one b idiosyncrasies....
My brother... (The sweetest guy u'd meet) was found to be using drugs through surprise tests upon reporting to a uni. Am glad! It was a wake up call for all of us to support him. Better now than many years later
Rosie Said......These Nija parents sef? Your kids tested positive to cocaine,I did not see any denials that the results were wrong rather you want your kids to be rewarded by the school authorities by doing nothing. Pls take your spoilt kids to rehab..... And to Redeemers University,do not re-admit them until they are clean,Period.
@bonarios virginity test ke,d skul go turn only boys b dat! Signed:#QUEENTY#
Smh this advanced secondary school shld take a chill pill..

Cocaine in church skul?wow!!!!datz reali Hot,do dey ve striperz dia too?rubbish university abeg mak d studentz go anoda skul
Its great..you guys shouldn't talk trash about the school. Over in the US some organizations conduct random drug tests and if you fail you loose your job. Its best the learn now than later when its too late. We're not trying to raise a society full of cocaine users. Rccg has good drug rehab programmes ..I've heard testimonies about them.. More grease to their elbows!

Annoying!
Lol.money is never really a problem for such institutions..
PC ur an idiat.....bloody dickhead...freak show,u nid 2be kicked outta dis planet,bonario or whare....u speak off....u guys get a life and stop seeking cheap publicity on LI blog.eWwwwww
28 out of 42 tested positive for drugs?
Pc pls ooooo, dis ur grammer is too much o. Anyway I luv ur style
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha REHAB!!!! I thought that place was 4 only addicts? Doing it the wrong way.
Am not surprised. Their is drug endemic among most teenagers everywhere now. Bois don't do bars no more. Na chemist fit do am now o. 9 out of 10 undergrad bois of any schl private or not uses cough syrup or Sk, or had used at a point in time. Crack cocaine too is fast spreading. This bois sees nothing untoward in this habit as its helps them repress reality, will becomes converted to auto pilot mode and slows dem slow. Watch out for any youth tha stares into pace for hrs motionless.
All these private schools sef. Good tho
Nija the copy cat...
Big man big problem. If to say una go federal school, una for save fortune, finish school, snort your cocaine and nobody for send una. Now una drug problem don become public knowledge
Welcome @prince charming
U were highly missed.
*Big hug*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Dnt ve anyfink to say, Dat means Madonna university sec.is still beta.
All man for himself pls!
-Blunt Ibo boy-
What arrant nonsense! Why do our "so called" higher institutions keep humiliating these "supposed" adults/students by treating them like children/idiots! What do they mean by conducting drug tests on them? Really,it's violation of human right, were d students going for marathon race?! These children shld be allowed to choose their own ways/destinies and not be frog matched into one! Kenny
Advanced secondary school...wat d hell do they teach there by the way? Nonsense! I won't even skul there if u re gon'a pay my fees free
rehabilitation is not Meant for addicts only, anybody that need correction.
Lolllll..... linda post my comment
What's the meaning of "diosyncrasies
Psycho bratt
Na wa o skool dis days can be very funny.rehab..... #smiling
Really reminds me of caritas too!
Lol
At least the one you attended isn't better. Imagine your child, being a drug addict α̲̅πϑ you have an institution trying to curb such a problem in order to breed future leaders of tomorrow α̲̅πϑ you call it a glorified secondary school. Think again please. It is either you never had the opportunity this kids have or you envy the fact their parents can pay huge sum of money for their kids to become good. For christ sake it's a missionary tertiary institution where Godliness, good conduct α̲̅πϑ brilliance should be the benchmark. People like you are satanic leftists α̲̅πϑ fault finders. Renew your mind for a better Nigeria.
PC,u and ur big grammar reminds me of mungo park in hints magazine way back
Why should they experiment with drugs? since when has taking or "experimenting" with drugs become a criteria for growing up or being a youth? Don't you know that allowing or being lenient with drug abuse brings about other accompanying social ills like cultism, hooliganism, etc? and you are wondering why the school is so strict in upholding a certain standard. if the kids want to be crack heads, there are scores of other schools they can attend in naija.
Mich u and ur sarcasms though,lol
Dese students shud be fenkful I finished frm CU, and if a case like dis occurs those student are automatically thrown out of d schl even if its a dey 2 dier graduation no amount of pleading will make dem change dier decision ooooo.
Oloshi.u'l soon lose ur sanity too.idiot
It is such a painful thing what we have turned ourselves all into. Charity starts from home. Parents, take up the responsibilities and lead your kids the right way to go.it is not only because of today but tomorrow. The school was fair though but not fair enough.its so strange... They proferred a rehab and a semester lost and parents complained! They ought to be role models and not disgrace even to the school, the educational system and our country. Some things are just not right! They are fundamental!
if it were to be CU, i can bet dat ur schooling is definitely over. you woud not be warned sef, taking drugs is synonymous to murder. straight expulsion @9ja_Stalker
Anon 10:21 u need to take a chill pill,isn't it obvious mich is being sarcastic here?learn how to take a joke. Besides,who says bcos u experimented with drugs as a youth u therefore cannot be great later?I did a lot or drugs as a teeenager,today I'm clean and a professional in my field. Kids will be kids,shikena.
Hahahahahahah funmi don kill me.
Thank you very much for this comment. I am a product of this school and I really appreciate what they have been doing. This is the first time they are recalling students and that is a sign of softness in the aspect of enforcing discipline. We do not want riff raffs to be our products because we have high esteem and intergrity to protect. Anyways, its all good for those that were called back... They had better face what they were sent there to do.
Lol
Lmao @d anonymous talking abuh human ryt...wot do u knw abuh human ryt, abi u no go skul. dnt u knw u wil sign undertaking 2obey skul rules b4 u r fully admited. By d way cocaine is illegal in nigeria, so dey v everi right 2 cari out d drug test so shut d f***up if u dnt knw wot 2type. As 4 d student, dey better jump up n n sing halleluha chorus cos if it were 2 b in Madonna or a place lyk dubai,plea tears or even death won't change d fact dt dey r expelling U#small children dt wnt 2spoil d image of RUN***smh
Has anyone considered whether the results of these tests were not found to be valid? Who carried out the tests and under what conditions? Maybe the students involved were not actually using these drugs? Why else would they have such a reaction and be fighting for re-admittance etc. I sincerely doubt the parents are that stupid to seek all sorts of redress if their children were infant independently verified to be using drugs. And as for the university , how does being suspended affect the future chances of drug use?
Am sure the rehab is for the good of the students even the parents cos if they go worse in the longrun,dey wld surely regret it.newaiz,I wish them the best!
Hmmmmm
You're obviously high on something stronger than cocaine for you to say this rubbish!!!!!!Big fool!
So they should allow immature "adults" to destroy their lives because they can't choose to be different! Note that it a Christian uni,u imbecile!
If the "students" want to take drugs they should have gone to federal and state universities where the government doesn't give a damn about their psychological well being!...IDIOT!...plz take a sit if u don't have anything sensible to say !!!..okay?
God bls u Benson,dat is a nice one,pple want to go to places where there can misbehave n live satanic lifestyles than where there will b cautioned n disciplined for every wrong action
dis is absolute trash...nonsense
With due regards you all cursing these schools should shut your mouths these private schools actually make things and new generation Nigerian students better.If there were no private schools I'm sure we will more x3 of crime in nigeria. A rehabilitation center is used to correct.Imagine if ther were no school like these, the students will continue with drugs and end up in yaba left. Its only stupid and senseless people that will see somtin good and not appreciate it, better work hard and save money soo that schools like these ones will help you train your child bcos I know ppl like you that criticise private schools don't know how to raise children. With love (Aka mimi)
Dey wld hv to expel ALL their stds b dt o...LMAO
Exactly, rehab isnt only for addicts, r u saying we shd all sit n watch until a familt member becomes an addict b4 taking him/her to rehab? Pls think b4 u talk so u dnt end up being foolish.
I went to Caritas. It was a mess. I can't even deal. But........I had time to focus and came out top of my class. It has its good and bad.
Hmmm, if u find ursef in Rome behav like d Romans. If u find ursef in Redeemers University, u av gat b behave like a Redeemer. My point is evry institution in a society has its set rules n regulations- if u knw u can't live by it, kindly leav n find somwhere else. I dint go t a private university but graduates of private university can beat me down moral wise. Private Uni. or not, pikin wey go misbehave go misbehave- ur parents can only guide u but can't live ur life f u. Peer pressure is still d strongest of all pressure esp f youths so parents nids t really work hand in hand wt d educational institution t bring out d best in d future leaders of 2moro.
