CAN Gives Kwara 7-day Ultimatum To Redress Discrimination Against Christians by lekanolas: 8:38pm On Sep 11, 2013 |
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday gave Kwara State Government a seven-day ultimatum to redress alleged general discrimination against Christians or face its wrath. The state CAN Chairman, Rev. James Folaranmi, who issued the ultimatum at a press conference, complained of discriminations against his members in the areas of political appointments, education and some others. For example, Folaranmi said out of 146 key political positions in the state, only 29 were for Christians, which he said amounted to 10 per cent whereas the Christians “form about 50 per cent of qualified personnel, using every parameter”. According to the CAN chairman, the governor, the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Head of Service, Chief of Staff, chairman, Teaching Service Commission, Primary Education Board, SUBEB, heads of tertiary institutions in the state, all secretaries, treasurers and the directors of personnel in all the 16 local governments are all Muslims. He also said there were only five Christian commissioners in the state while chairmen of the boards of agencies nominated from the state were Muslims, adding that the head of the State Civil Service Commission and three other members were also Muslims. Folaranmi also said the recent ‘selection’ of chairmanship, vice-chairmanship and councillorship candidates for 15 local governments by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the October council polls was grossly one-sided. He said out of 21 permanent secretaries, seven were Christians, while others were Muslims. This, according to him, also applies to the directorates of Personnel and Management, Finance and Supply in all the ministries The CAN chairman accused the government of forcing Muslim board members on the Teaching Service Commission to effect transfer and promotion of Christian teachers to suit their own will, even in schools owned by Christians and voluntary organisations. He said: “Out of 41 government- owned secondary schools, there is only one principal who is a Christian. “The rector of the polytechnic, the provosts of the three colleges of education and the vice-chancellor of the state university, including the two schools of nursing and the school of technology, Offa, whose heads are all Muslims. http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/alleged-marginalisation-can-gives-kwara-seven-day-ultimatum/ |

doncaster: This CAN man must be ibo, we don't care about religion in south west. To be fair, Kwara is not the southwest.....and unfortunately they (or should I say their leaders) have a habit of not acting as progressive as the southwest. Offa elections another sad example. |

The teachings of Christ in the Bible never approves the show of wrath against a fellow man even in the face of aggression! Never! Jesus said "love your enemies" he also said "be as wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove". Jesus said he is sending us out as sheeps amongst wolves, that exactly depicts the apparent vulnerability of christians hence their total reliance on God. Mr CAN chairman you've lost it, because of your crave for fame and money. You're not representing us! 8 Likes |

Christians view satan as their enemies but Muslims view them as one. This guys brainwash and incitement statement they got them, and even more dnt allow any other to operate or compete with them worldwide. The next person to kill or attack is always a christian why?. A set of people that could point gun at you to convert to islam or you die, you can understand better now. If Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is still among mulisms today many reforms must have taken place. We cant continue to exist in the past. You imagine, a world led by Iran, Taliban and co and the fear of human right & freedom to other faiths. No faith is seen perfect but reality make the different.No spiritual leader should mislead us to achieve and sult religion private gain .Free yourself people. Religion is a personal thing. Tell ur brothers to take up education(Reform) today is not a Western thing. Stop killing your people who are willing to go to school up Malala. The likes of Qatar's are making waves due to education. 1 Like |

...really religion shldnt be a parameter for appointments but having said this,it is imperative to state that muslims,especially south-west muslims are always quick to argue that their people dont put religion in whatever they do!but they systematically relegate their christian brothers to the backyard in all political affairs,they critize fellow yorubas who are men of God eg TB joshua,Oyedepo,Adeboye etc at every slightest misunderstanding while always supporting and praising their muslim folks,you hardly hear them critisize yoruba sheiks,Imams or Alfas...Yoruba christians shld wake up from their slumber and see the hand-writing on the wall!There is a grand design by the political muslim class to subjugate them,watch how they muslims have dominated every aspect of the yoruba society while they the christians keep following them sheepishly under the guise of progressives.Look at lagos state,i dare a yoruba christian to vie for the governorship position or are they less intelligent,'self-deception is the worst form of deception',shine your eyes!!!APC are now gradually bringing out political actors for the next governorship election and i can tell you that almost all are muslims or are they christians in that region dumbooos without political ambition,thanks to Tinubu and his evil cohorts...christians must face reality or keep on fooling around...muslims are encouraged through their teachings to dominate their environment and must nt allow infidels(christians,atheists,Jews etc)to govern them even if life will be better under such government!so who is deceiving who? 14 Likes |

I used to say "Religion & Ignorance is a terrible mix worse than vodka" but with mischief added to it, it's a disaster for the zombies!
