The story headline is designed to cause disunity amongst Nigerians. Islamic books have always been used to study IRK in Federal schools....before will they use Christian books to study IRK? Having said that, I am sure my Muslim brothers will support me when I say that the contents of the book need to be reviewed to ensure it portrays the message of the Koran and not any personal or extremist views.

A particular religion is d problem of dis zoo

were the yourbas who betrayed you not christians like you, they quote scripture and say all many of prayers yet they sold your brothers properties in lagos, ph beyond.
I d rather remain in this zoo than enter another one.

Enough of all this useless courses that add nothing but misery and confusion
to the lives of students.

What is the relevance of a flat earth and the sun which set in a pool
in this 21st century.

At times of economic challenges visionary leaders introduce and upgrade
fiscal education at all levels , the same can't be said about Buhari.

Hello sir, can I ask you an urgent question?

Jarus:
LOL. This will generate controversy.


But this should be clear: this is for IRK classes. It's like recommending a book for Biology. If you don't take Biology in the first place, you don't have any business with the book.

atlwireles:


That's how you catch the liars on NL.

Me sef tire Ohhh

tpiander:


the federal schools started JSS a year before non-federal schools.

the poster was the pioneer set, if that's really her story and not someone else's.

do you know what you are talking about?J'S and SS cam into terms wen we changed educational system from 654 to 6334.this was when I was in class 1@1987.we then had to write JSS exams we where the pioneers.1994 he had class one to five

BeauHomme:
No cause for alarm. He's only suggesting these books be included in the Islamic Studies syllabus. Only those taking the course have a say in this matter.

But there are many books written and still in writing. If every leader came suggesting his preferred book to be included in our curriculum, we're in for clash of interests in the future. Soon someone will come, lobbying for Obasanjo's books to be included in our history syllabus.

These leaders should just face the business of governance and leave these issues for the relevant constituted authorities to decide.

This is the best unbiased comment I read so far. Buhari is not the education minister for goodness sake.

stan241:




I did jss1 in 2001at FGC Lagos and Arabic was a compulsory subject and so was Hausa, igbo and yoruba language for everybody......I remember Arabic was actually quite fun and simple for me sef as an igbo boy compared to other compulsory languages we did such as french and hausa

if you check studying Arabic last gauge is not a problem but the sturdy of Islam mad compulsory might be a problem.

Religious Bigots una don come again. What is wrong with introducing Islamic Book to Federal School's Islamic Religious Knowledge(IRK) students only. Why are you intolerance of other religious beliefs.

lomprico:

Why shld buhari be the one to recommend it? What happened to the islamic scholars in education ministry?

Gbam

there is no problem there However if it's made compulsory then Yeh problem.

ohzee:
Yes I am not surprised one bit. Flashback to 1983/84 academic session. I was in JS1 in a Federal School in Benin and I studied Islamic Religious Studies and Arabic as compulsory subjects. Guess who was in power then? It's déjà vu.
Those of us who experienced that era knew what we were saying when we talked about Islamization.
If we protest now, they will say after all CRK is also being studied in schools. Ok oh....

Mummy good afternoon ma

Noooo! what the country need now is science not religion we are in the 21 century for heavens sake how will religion help us match toe to toe with other developed nations. We run to them for help whenever we are in trouble why is this religion not solving our problems. The US refused us arms, Ebola drugs, etc because we do not have the capability to manufacture. Mr President, religion should take a back seat in this vehicle called Nigeria and let science be the driver please.

So, we should adopt GAY MARRIAGE abi

Sweetlemon:


WTF is wrong with you? Why are you so damn negative?! When Jonathan was visiting different churches every sunday why didn't you see anything wrong with it?

Did he recommend churches for Nigerians?
When asked why he hasn't been visiting mosques I remember him saying he hasn't received any invitation from anyone of them. Just stop being bias. Buhari is a president and not an educationist.

EdCure:

Dont be too sure.
All that Buhari need for that to happen is to appoint moslem fanatics as head of fg parastatals, ministries and this kind of policy we are loking at here. and islam wil take over in less than 25yrs.
He doesnt need any law to make that happen. He will just force it on you thru executive decisions. But God forbid.

Any executive decision that is against the religion or tribe of some Nigerians can't be accepted.
I repeat, nobody can islamize Nigeria.
except they want to break up the country.
Nigeria is not for the Northerners alone. it's true in history that northerners were the most people that ruled since independence.
That will be checked in future.

omonnakoda:
The president should not get involved in such matters in keeping with the belonging to no one doctrine. Is he an expert on Islamic studies? On what basis can he pronounce on education curricula whether on Islam or Mathematics? This is an area of TECHNICAL expertise and should be left to experts .Once politicians become involved it becomes politicized. Imagine if a history book starts talking of atrocities against Biafra etc and a president says it should be adopted. There is presumably a process through which books are adopted for curricula.Politicians should not be involved.
What next a history book telling us that the 1966 coup was an Ibo coup? This is an unwise move that sets a dangerous precedent

Another beautiful comment but when you talk now the next thing is you are a tanoid

Bleep the crap! Is it gay marriage that brought China, Malaysia, Indonesia etc to the position they maintain in the world today? Technology is what i mean. If you don't want to grow others are eager to leap please.

Sweetlemon:


Oh ok. So it's true both religions were compulsory then

@Ohzee what EXACTLY is your problem if Muslims were made to recite Christian prayers as well?

Lol...Pay him no mind. He won't respond. I've hit him below the belt. Are you a muslim @SweetLemon?

Boko Clown who refuses to read

were the yourbas who betrayed you not christians like you, they quote scripture and say all many of prayers yet they sold your brothers properties in lagos, ph beyond.
I d rather remain in this zoo than enter another one.

My muslim friend but he didn't mention any religion or where you thinking like an animal?

The Agenda falling into places
