THE Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Osun State chapter, on Monday, raised the alarm over the ban placed on the teaching of Christian Religious Studies in public schools established by muslim missionaries, saying the development was capable of triggering religious disharmony in the state.

In a communiqué issued and signed by the CAN chairman in the state, Evangelist Abraham Aladeseye and 37 other religious leaders in the state, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Monday, the body cautioned the government to shun any policy that was retrogressive, which may eventually lead to chaos among the religious groups in Osun State.

It also urged the government to carry the association along in any Christian-related project that was being embarked by the state thus, dissociating self from the 200,000 capacity “Open Heaven Hall,” being planned by the government, contending that the project was not its priority for now.

According to the communiqué: “We are calling on the government to take urgent step to address the alleged ban of teaching of Christian Religious Studies in Muslims-established public schools in the state. Unless government takes immediate step to correct the anomaly, we will also stop the teaching if Islamic Religious Studies in Christian-established public schools.”

No cause for alarm by CAN
Forget not Islam prides itself as the ultimate religion
And you want to teach CRK in their schools?
Just ban IRK in Christain missionary schools too
Simples!

...the 'state of Osun',is beginning to divide the yorubas on the basis of religion,which hitherto has been silent over the yrs! i fear for the worst,northern Nigeria will be a joke when this one starts!shey na dem vote ACN,Tinubu Islamic party!

This aregbesola of a guy and his posture as an islam extremist is getting out of hand. Even saudi arabia, the northern states in nigeria and well renowned muslim countries didnt give a public holiday for one of islams celebration sometime last year( i cant remember now) as insignificant and unimportant as it was, but, these aregbesola thug declared public holidays and he was bashed and well criticised by all media outlets, Still, this man still proves to be an islamic extremist.

Instead of focusing on your youths being killed by Obi and their bodies dumped in Ezu River you're here saying nonsense..

Aregbesola isn't a religious extremist and Yorubas aren't known for religious extremism. So I'm sure they'll sort themselves out as they always do. But you my friend should be more concerned about your young men who are being led to the grave by MASSOB..

Aregbesola does not know anything about this.
It will be sorted out. We are not religious bigots like Ibos and Hausas

CAN are hypocrites! IRK have been banned in all missionary schools in the North, and they even have the guts to complain! What do u call such attitude?

It is called Hypocrisy.

I believe ogbeni aregbesola not knowing anything about this because It's only two towns that Muslim get dominate in osun state so I wonder why he we threat Christians

CAN's joblessness is frightening dis days - y should u expect a muslim school to be teaching CRS in their schools; show me a single example of a christian school that teaches IRK. In the case of Covenant university students are denied admission cos of their faith and in extreme show of bigotry students are mandated to go to chapel - where is CAN's s paid voice when all that was being celebrated as discipline? This CAN is just as unbiblical as the rubbish they spit. Jesus never preach religion talkless of a useless umbrella body called CAN.

How do you feel each time you see a known igbo person around you? I know it must have been very hard for you to cope with them each passing day, and you can't tell me that it's just an online thing because it's what the heart thinks that the mouth speaks.

better you don't talk about what you don't know. Mention the two towns dominated by muslims in Osun state?

seanet01: It is called Hypocrisy.

Sharrap!and tell your big alfa-uncles not to bring issues which before now is alien to Yoruba-land.

That's a blatant lie! Nobody banned IRK in northern missionary schools! See as u dey talk am like say most northern governors are christians. Those schools just choose not to have IRK as part of their curiculum.

Can shd allow d lunatics to do their worst,wat else are dey teaching in islamic schools except bomb making and how to inhale gums? Furking red pants coxing probs in d world

Tolexander: better you don't talk about what you don't know. Mention the two towns dominated by muslims in Osun state?

Ejigbo, Ede, Iwo etc...

Next is boko haram...

O shait!

alstacs:

Ejigbo, Ede, Iwo etc...

the guy said two towns and you've even mentioned more than three and still counting not even including osogbo.

whats wrong with having Yoruba towns that are muslim dominated? What's wrong with having Yoruba towns that are christian dominated?

Ah, this pastor, whatever is name his is just raising false alarm. Who even came up with the idea of teaching islam in a christian school to begin with? I swear my people are educated but we lack enlightenement. Whoever came up with teaching islam in chriostian schools or teaching christian in islam schools? I think the program should end immediately. if you want your child to learn islam send them to islam school, and if you want your child to learn christianity send them to christian school.

life is easy but adult humans with our mental insanity and psychological imbalance make it so fvking hard to live.

Religion mixing with government!
Muslims vs Christians in SW another Jos in the making.
