The Chancellor of Madonna University, Emmanuel Edeh, asserted that female students who enter the university as virgins also graduate with their virginity intact.
Speaking during the institution’s 25th anniversary celebration, Edeh emphasised the university’s commitment to preserving the purity of its students.
Distinguished guests at the event included the Deputy Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, and the Bishop of Ekwlobia Diocese, Cardinal Peter Okpaleke.
In a widely circulated ChannelsTV video, the Catholic priest, who founded Madonna University in 1999, confidently stated that the institution stands out globally for this unique practice. He challenged anyone to identify another university worldwide that consistently ensures virgin students graduate as virgins. According to Edeh, individuals from London, America, England, and Germany seek out Madonna University for potential spouses who share this value.
Edeh said, “It is only in this university that it is maintained that girls who have entered the university as virgins graduate as virgins. You can join our university as a virgin and graduate as a virgin.
“Tell me any other university in the whole world that can maintain this. That is why people from London, America, England, Germany, when you meet them, they will say Father, we want to marry a girl who is a virgin. And they don’t tend to get that until they come to Madonna University.”
Edeh further explained that the university’s strict monitoring system contributes to its success. All students reside on campus, eliminating the possibility of off-campus living. As a result, issues related to cultism, molestation, and examination malpractice are virtually nonexistent within the institution.
He said, “We have 100 percent residency of our students, which means that we do not allow our students to live in hotels or anywhere else and start coming to the school.”
“Our 100 percent boarding system on the university campus enhances effective monitoring, guidance, and counselling, and with all the levels of management to know the students better, for more appropriate guidance.”
