donb06: Just because people don't complain does not make it right. Historically, change has happened because of a very small number of people who didn't like the status quo and thought we could do better - the vast majority of us would rather just go along with things. We have a duty to be fair and equitable to all. Sunday as weekend was established for religions reasons, and it came to include the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday), also for religious reasons. The natural question for some people is "Why is Friday also not included for religious reasons?", and I think it's a fair question to ponder with seriousness.

Kusetic: We have a duty to be fair and equitable to all. Sunday as weekend was established for religious reasons, and it came to include the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday), also for religious reasons because of the populations of Europe and Americas that demanded for it. The natural question for some people is "Why is Friday also not included for religious reasons?", and I think it's a fair question to ponder with seriousness. Religion can be an extenuating circumstance for those who take it seriously, and it behooves all of us, to take all of us, seriously. (not a typo) "In 1908, the first five-day workweek in the United States was instituted by a New England cotton mill so that Jewish workers would not have to work on the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.[9] In 1926, Henry Ford began shutting down his automotive factories for all of Saturday and Sunday. In 1929, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Union was the first union to demand and receive a five-day workweek. The rest of the United States slowly followed, but it was not until 1940, when a provision of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act mandating a maximum 40-hour workweek went into effect, that the two-day weekend was adopted nationwide.[9]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workweek_and_weekend So I don't fully understand your position that religion is not an extenuating circumstance, since there have been provisions made over millennia - and indeed the last century - for religion.

nextstep: Nigeria is a secular country, we don't mix religion and state together because we have other religions and non religions. Let's try to not favour only Muslims or Christians. A secular state works for us and it's only when we try to inject religion into our systems that problems come up. 1 Like |

nextstep: An extenuating circumstance is one that is beyond an individual's control. Religion doesn't control us, though it's designed to, since it is only a belief. Likewise, the government is not an extension of religion in Nigeria, we are not a Christian, islamic or traditional religious state. Therefore, WAEC, NECO and other examining bodies or even any of our public institutions cannot be dictated to by a religious entity on how to carry out their duties. |

Muslims complain about everything. Evil religion and cult |

Let it not clash with Muslims' praying hour. They can easily shift whatever exam from Friday to any other day of the week so that it won't affect any group from observing their prayers. We are only making meal of things in this country. |

maasoap:Even public schools have their rules which are known before enrolling a child. Do d few Islam founded public schools approve d activities of other types of worship? |

Weekends are there for everyone for any form of worship.those hours spent doing other things while one should be busy at work or attending to ppl are reasons for our backwardness in dis country. Why wld a worker keep disappearing at intervals,claiming to av gone to pray? Such a fellow shd just resign to prayers&leave d duties for those who want to perform.yes, other worshippers, Christians, organise prayers in some civil/public service bt dt doesn't happen at intervals everyday in d week. The UAE&other Arab nations av Fri/Sat as their weekend &other worshippers do whatever on those days. Imagine sm students who missed a class test were on passionate grounds scheduled for a make up, came in late with d bold claims of having gone to pray. God so good, I hadn't asked wat mode of prayer before sending them back to resign to prayers to pass. They later told me they were coming from d mosque. Also imagine co-workers taking offence while u're eating during ramadan;I used to ask them if I ever bcast my fasting days to them. I wonder what they want to turn this country into, bt I declare: it won't work! I can boldly say here dt muslims are just overbearing.they have their plans too, but Nigeria is a secular space&nt an islamic nation,so their plans CANNOT work.it shall not stand. I guess they've even forgotten dt WAEC is an international body and the foundation of westernisation in Nigeria today came with Christianity whose practitioners are never quick to lay any claims |

IFEOLUWAKRIZ: so u think after u allow them this, they will not come up with another thing. u cant satisfy these people. instead of going back and forth with them every now and then, i support they have their own country and govern themselves with their religious dictates. WHO CARES |

bigfish3k: It's emotion and sentiment typing not you.If we must come via that angle,Christians enjoy relatively previleges . |
Re: WAEC Official Threatens MURIC Director With Disappearance In Leaked Audio by bigfish3k: 5:30pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
IFEOLUWAKRIZ: thats why we ask them to seek for their own country where they can enjoy 100% more than the christians. or do u like this back and forth thing every time |
