See all this hypocrites complaining about fanaticism. Nigerian is neither a Christian state nor an Islamic state. So I think they should have equal rights, if we give holiday for easter ( the death of 1 ordinary dude), why is it extreme to declare a holiday for the New year celebration of a group of people.

U'r d worst fool I hv ever come across on planet earth. When did start equating public holiday declared in Easter to d one declared to mark a new Islamic calendar. I think d whole part of ur brain need to b examined thoroughly.

Did he force you to follow him to church? Why do some people have such a porous brain? Or is it simply fanaticism?
In like manner, Aregbesola is not forcing anybody to observe it. It's optional.

Yea,

Lets keep enduring him and his short trouser till he starts sharia in south west.

I av always said it that he is a potential terrorist. Very soon he will transform Osun State with fundings from Alqaeda and Isis, have the people behind him and Islamize the state,
If a the President were to be a moslem and had gone to Mecca like Jonathan that has been in Jerusalem for 3 days, some f00ls would have been using abusive words against Islam. Why do people hate Islam?

When his counterpart from ekiti state was prostrating in a church, did any one raise the issue of religious intolerance, because its involve an islamic governor,everyone was just bitter about him. and perhaps was the holiday for muslim alone. its for everybody's enjoyment.

Ekiti is core christian state. Osun is 50:50.

It's only state-owned institutions, and maybe banks, that are observing it. No federal institution is observing it.

I give u an assignment today that can prove what you have said may be wrong.

Go take a look at the constitution of your country 1999. and tell me where Christ or Christians or Jesus was mentioned.
Hint: you will only see Muslim, Islam, sharia countless times.

summary: Nigeria is living in pretence until we review this we are NT gonna near unity in 9ja

It is apparent that your sense of reasoning is short, and I can now see that you are suffering from intellectual poverty/myopic. Hardly did you recognize that words have connotative and denotative meaning. Go back to the rubbish you typed and think about it again.

People like you just open your mouth without thinking about what comes out of it. Please use your brain for once and stop portraying your stupidity further.

Aregbe need to tone down his islamic fanatism, abeg!

When his counter part declare their ambition in the church, nobody raise alarm, have you fortget fayose who says he needs 1000 pastor to clean govt house, when govt gives holliday for easter, no problem, when some state declare holiday for their campaign no problem, but if it Hijra or Isese day, you are fanatics because you give recognition to un recognised religion cellebration, let's stop all this religion bigot, and move Nigeria forward.
If you are child of history one of the factor that cause nigeria civil war is religion delination along tribe, if what He his doing is not constitional let's write to Senate or House of Rep.
Nigeria belong to you and ME.

Funny Aregbe. Even core islam states don't give break for Hijrah.

That because it has never been celebrated at the time of Prophet and after. Meaning it has no root, in other word it is unislamical to celebrate Islamic new year. Only two occasions are recognize and Celebrated in Islam that:
1. Eid El Firt and
2: Eid El Kabir
Anything apart from these two is unislamical. However in Islam there is nothing like core this core that once you are a Muslim you are equal in respective of the Country, Region or Race you belong. Muslim are equal to Allaah the only difference among people is those who follow and practice Islamic teaching those are consider with high esteem by Allaah.

Ekiti counterpart did is personal issue, If aregbesola likes, he can be sleeping inside the mosque that is his personal issue. All is that no governing of the state from inside the mosque. Introducing and declearation of new public holiday because of any region is a sign of religion fanatical and miss governance basses on selfish interest. Sign of sharia (killing and maiming of and denying Innocent people their right because they are not in support of sharia). Let us be careful before aregeshola turn and pollute osun state history with religion blood birth.

Both the op and the people commenting are stupid,for your information we have isese day on osun state(public holidays for the yraditionalist),he send some Muslim to Mecca,Christian to Jerusalem,and babalawo to cuba(because we have so many Yoruba Orisas in Cuba)he make sure prophet on adware was taking back to liesa,he donated #50m,I know if he did that to an imam,saTANoids will say he is promoting Islamic agenda

Any body from any region of Nigeria trying to use Religion politics in SW will have his/her generation suffer for it...mofos

I am a Christian, but will not subscribe to the opinion that the declaration of this holiday represents fanaticism. Afterall, some of the religion's days are already being enjoyed as holidays by default.

However, I will be quick to point out that such actions indicate that tolerating him further, is dangerous to the harmony being enjoyed already by the heterogeneous religions.

The real danger however, is that he is setting a dangerous precedent. The majority of Christian's new year day is the Advent which if I am not mistaken, is sometimes in November.

What happens if in the basis of this, they demand a day as well?

Majority of what? Are you the majority u are talking about? Advent watin? I think I have never heard that anywhere before in history. So dont call ur personal thinking majority opinion.

For your info, d year 2014 translate to 2014 years after after the birth of Jesus.
