Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Bishop Mike Okonkwo of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM); Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church; Rev. Felix Omobude and Pastor W.F. Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church, have all ordered Christian students to boycott the compulsory Arabic classes. NAIJ.com gathered that the top pastors spoke, last week, after a meeting in Lagos under the auspices of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). According to a report by Vanguard, the pastors at the meeting called for immediate reversal of the revised Basic Education Curriculum, especially the removal of Christian Religious Studies as part of an subject known as Religion and National Values, and maintained that Christian Religious Studies should stand on its own as a separate subject just as it has always been.

The leaders urged the Christian students all over Nigeria to "not attend Arabic classes" claiming that the government has no authority to force the children to attend the classes. Omobude, who is the PFN national president, Oyedepo and Okonkwo all said: “We are aware of orchestrated plans to subtly use this policy as a means of forceful religious indoctrination and we maintain our stand against it.” ADVERTISING ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads inRead invented by Teads PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 news app “Government has no right to force subjects on any any Nigerian child neither does it have the authority to drop Christian Religious Studies at the Senior Secondary School level while asking him/her to continue to read Islamic Studies which he/she cannot do at university level." Bishop Oyedepo said, emphasising that by stopping Christian Religion Studies, CRS, automatically meant that it would not be embraced at the tertiary institutions. Meanwhile, the Christian Association Nigeria (CAN) has called on the federal ministry of education and the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) to publish the full details of the controversial new curriculum of education if they have no hidden agenda. Speaking through its president, Dr Samson Ayokunle, CAN alleged that there is discrimination against Christian students in the curriculum.

It seems APC government just love confusion... RNV to me is just as confusing as the government in power because I don't know why 3teachers will be taking a single subject. why not let the status quo be and introduce new subject like social/moral value if need be... Arabic language to majority down south is synonymous to Islamic studies and we have limited French teachers/graduates in the country... This I'm sure will fuel the Islamization agenda propaganda and will give the secesionist the reason to push harder...

See the agents of yahweh and allah are currently confused. Their gods are currently serving a long jail time in their spiritual cage. Lemme kip watching as the sheeple and goats are dancing in confusion jare. Brain Users shall arise and religion shall be turned to soot and shadow.

Oga I don't care about the politics behind it but its sensitivity to the populace... there are lots of stupendous and very good policies made by Jonathan and other Nigeria presidents... Utilisation of the policy is not by compulsion but a choice just like TSA which I think the present government should have considered it's pros and cons before rolling it out especially with the current tension in the country... any policy that'll spell division should be laid to rest while the government should focus on policies that will improve our dwindling economy and strengthening our unity ...
