The founder of Madonna University, Nigeria, Rev-Father Emmanuel Edeh, has stirred controversies after claiming that female students who enrol in the university as virgins always graduate as virgins because of the high morals instilled in them.
The founder consequently extends invitations to overseas-based Nigerian men who desire to marry virgins.
Edeh spoke in a video shared by Channels TV on Wednesday while highlighting his university’s high morals and discipline.
“Madonna is a university where there is no secret cultism, molestation, examination malpractice, no bullying, zero tolerance for hard drugs, zero tolerance for sexual immorality.
“It is only in this university that it is clearly maintained that girls who enter the university as virgins graduate as virgins. They enter our university as virgins and graduate as virgins.
“Tell me any other university in the whole world that can maintain this.
“That is why people from London, America, England, Germany, when I meet them, they will say Father, we want to marry a girl who is a virgin. And the only way to do that is to come to Madonna University,” Edeh said, among other claims.
Madonna University was founded in 1999 and it is the first private Catholic university in Nigeria, with three campuses located variously in Elele, Rivers State; Okija, Anambra State; and Akpugo; Enugu State.

When your Institution of Higher Learning’s Founding Fathers are more interested in what you do with your body instead of what you put in your head.

To some extent I agree with him… That school has a way of keeping u away from a wayward kind of lifestyle and making u more religious.

This comment has also indicted him. Did he go round to test all the students to ascertain their virginity?

That’s a lie. UI , Unilorin, OAU, and Unilag have all produced many virgins who csme in @ 16 and graduated at 20,21 ages. And all were vigins confirmed at their masters programme abroad during various tests carried out on them. Google various Uni graduate Nigerians abroad.
