Aregbesola Is Islamising Osun- CAN by Nobody: 2:10pm On Oct 09, 2013 |
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Tuesday declared that the recent decision by the Osun State Government to mix up some Muslim students with their Christian counterparts in missionary schools was a ploy to Islamise the state. In a statement issued in Abuja, the National General-Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Asake, said the move by the state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, was part of a grand plan to systematically silence Christians in the state. He said if the decision by the state government was not reversed, CAN would be left with no other option than to use legal means to resist such moves. The CAN further alleged that the plans to Islamise the state was not peculiar to the education sector alone. It questioned a recent loan purportedly secured by the state government from the Islamic Bank. He said: “We have been following the events in the state. To get to this point where they are trying to bring some Muslims to mix them with Christian students is a ploy. There is a no pretence about it and we are going to resist it. I totally disagree that the Islamisation of the state is not peculiar to the education sector alone. They've an agenda. “If you follow the event in that state and the way the governor is going about doing his own things, he has an agenda. Why is he particular about Christian schools? If he really wants to promote education in that state, why can't he build other schools? Why is he particular about Christian schools? We Christians can no longer fold our hands and allow them do what they want.” Asake further accused the past and present governments of intentionally ignoring the plight of Christians, stressing that Christians had been reduced to second class citizens in their own country. According to him, “40 years ago, under the supervision of a Christian minority head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, someone, somewhere brought the idea that mission schools should be taken over. Now watch! 40 years later, under the supervision of another Christian minority president, Goodluck Jonathan, almajiri schools have been introduced. Reacting to CAN’s allegation, the state government said it was puerile and ignoble. A statement by the governor's spokesman, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said: “It is most disheartening that the seething distrust and unhealthy rivalry among people of different faiths in Nigeria are the parameters which some people have decided to use to measure the actions of the governor of the state. "For CAN to allege, once again, that Aregbesola is Islamising the state beats the imagination of every right-thinking people. This is the governor that has, for the first time, ensured fairness among people of all faiths. At least, it is on record that the three religions have at one time or the other accused the governor of promoting one religion over the other. “What amounts to promoting one religion over the other in the thinking of the zealots is no more than the decision of the administration to allow people practise their faiths without any hindrance.” http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/can-accuses-aregbesola-of-islamising-osun/161107/ |

CAN, through his general secretary should first of all engage in legal batle with corruption that earned its president private jet. Nigerians are begin to wise and exposed to level of pervasity by religion leader that ensure culprit are not brought to justice. A situation where country will remain stagnant so that our pastors can continue making dough while Nigerians will remain poor. We need transparency on how people tights are managed. Pastors should peroiodically publish how and where people hard earn donor to the house of God goes.

CAN has been accusing Aregbe since he became a governor, so it's not new. There was even a time he(Aregbe) was accused of seceding Osun from Nigeria I think CAN should read this epistle from one sincere and tolerant Nigerian. Law prince: Merging of Osun schools: A call for tolerance This is one of the schools in Osun. A christian government school, that witnessed a total turnaround made by Aregbe. Salvation Army School, Osogbo, Osun State. 7 Likes

The government think they can forment or should I say generate a religious crisis in the SW. However, they do not realise that most yorubas regard these religions as foriegn and what the present CAN represents is against our values. The modern day nigerian church preaches individualism and wealth which is against our (the yorubas )core values of 1community 2charity 3conservation That is why the Anglican , Methodist , catholic etc church with all their schools and hospitals will always supersede all the trashy new generation scam houses represented by CAN. YOUR RELIGION IS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD. I AM A YORUBA FIRST BEFORE I AM A XTIAN OR MUSLIM. WE ARE THE YORUBA NATION WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE AGES KEEP YOUR GARBAGE IN ABUJA. 8 Likes |

CAN and its officials are 1diots!! Religious Bigots is what they are. Religious bigotry is not a problem in SW. I served in a village close to Ogbomosha and fact is this guys do not care about your religious inclination. In many families you'll find moslems and christians. CAN is trying to divide the state of Osun by whipping up religious sentiments as is typical of the PDP and its appendages. I hope the good people of Osun state see through their evil intent and support their progressive and visionary governor as he continues to do his best in developing t he state. God Bless Me. 5 Likes |

malc619: CAN has become the mouthpiece of PDP.... It is obvious that CAN under oritsejafor is morbidly anti Islam and utterly religious ly bigoted. The only rational reason for attacking aregnesola is because he is a practicing Muslim. What valid points have they raised in this press release? If they disagree with the new educational policy , it is a diffrent matter. But the policy affects christian and muslim schools alike, so why introduce religious sentiments into it? 3 Likes |

Concerning d Ifa saga, my point is dat he shud av introduced a general course on Cultural Studies instead of picking Ifa specifically. There r plethora of knowledge to b acquired by school children.. This will enhance preservation of our cultural heritage. Wateva ur religion, it will b shameful if u cant talk about ur background., the social studies and yoruba language as subjects are not enough to achieve this objective. Picking Ifa specifically isnt enough, ther r many gods and other mythological scheme they shud get aquainted with. But of d truth, in a way, it appears he displays a bias for Islam.. 1 Like |

$£yi: The schools were originally founded by christian Missionaries until Buhari illegally turned them to government control and that is were the decay and rot began. Return the school to the rightful owners and stop trying to introduce hijab and ipon pads as an alternative to sound education. |

What a load of RUBBISH!!! Like a lot of posters have RIGHTLY mentioned, in the SW of Nigeria, we are YORUBAS first regardless of any religious affiliation. Have you heard of Christians and Muslims fighting or engaging in violence in Yorubaland? No! Insincere Nigerian- do you know why? -----I am a Yoruba christian and I have cousins and family members who are muslims and this is a very common phenomenon in the whole of the SW, we are too intelligent and culturally mature to engage in divisions along religious lines. The President of CAN should go and sell his Private Jet and give the proceeds to charity before opening his mouth and you insincere Nigerian should stop regurgitating senseless articles out of bias and hate. I know you have to eat and you have to open new threads every hour on NL, but why don't you concentrate on providing evidence of the positive achievements of GEJ rather than engaging in an unrelenting false propaganda against the SW and its leaders. 8 Likes |
