I don't see why this is front page news. Besides, that picture is many years old. Those girls must be grown by now.

Arent a lot of northern schools segregated anyway? Its nothing new.

I mean, its not like one never heard anything of the kind before.

just my opinion sha. I did not go to a mixed high school, so I don't really see it as a big deal. Neither do I live in the north.

Dont know why it has to be state policy, but like the nudity bill, it shows some of the leadership are idle and clueless about priorities. What they need to focus on is how to improve the standard of education. If they're ignoring that, then they need to be reminded.

I think we better analyze the advantages of co ed schools to the other. One of their reasons for the ban are it'll help checkmate teenge pregnancy and I think they have a point there. So, if there is no concrete advantage of coed, why not allow them to do what they desire in their own state?. It's not segregation  at all because no race, sex or tribe is being segregated at all, the sexes were just separated to avoid unnecessary accidents. I prefer co ed though, , don't want to  raise homosexuals as children(no offense).  Homosexuality is very high in same sex schools though.

interesting!
A classic case of intellectual poverty.

From personal experience I would say that segregating schools does not in any way prevent the occurrence of teen pregnancy or poor academic performance. In fact I think it exacerbates these things.
The thing is that young people will experiment because junior/senior highschool is the time when most of them do. They will find a way regardless of segregation to do what they want. Rather than taking the seemingly easier way out by separating the sexes, they should try to educate the children. In doing so, many of them would choose on their own to do the right thing.
When I was in 11th grade I was in a school that was segregated. The male and female students had their own building and still a boy and girl from my school had a kid before we did our IGCSEs. Not only that but unspeakable things happened in the bathroom with students as young as 10  . So basically segregation is BS. It is nothing but mere wishful thinking.

I am going to guess that the people who spent valuable time on this law are a selected few who believe they have the will of the people in their hands. These idiots need to be put in their place and not until the people wake up from their stupid slumber will life in any part of Nigeria remember what it should in the 21st century.

komekn:

I am not completely familiar with Nigerian constitution, and I know there is always a disparity between theory and practice.

However, as far as I know federal law supersedes state law. Is this not a breach of the fundamental right to freedom of association in the first instance?   Secondly is this ruling binding on Christian schools as well as Federal schools?

Where does it all end if you are in the north, segregated universities and compulsory hijab and Arabic/Islamic studies are now a possibility?

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing,"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." Edmund Burke, Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents, 1770.


Will someone in government speak up there is a complacent silence which implies consent.  

JJay1:

These Northern parasites can't really catch me by surprise with stupidity.

I guess they can re-allocate the states by sex; this will make it easier for them. A proposal below:

Women States
Zamfara
Bauchi
Adamawa
Niger
Kaduna


Men states
Kogi
Katsina
Borno


[size=14pt]Is there a more stupid race?[/size] Even the Amazonians in Brazil that are supposedly the most primitive arent this stupid

MC Usman:

Every state has the right  to create bye laws as long as they do not contradict the federal laws. If Bauchi  State decides to ban mixed schools then so be it. A lots of boys & girls schools are exist in the south so is not a new thing.

In the USA different state have different laws, while some state approved of death penalty & same sex marriage others don’t.
