As the controversy generated by the recent court
judgment, which allows female Muslim students in
Osun public schools to wear hijab continues to
fester, the youth wing of Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) of the state chapter, on Monday, said
there was no going back on the plan by Christian
students to wear religious garments to schools today (Tuesday).

The youth wing of CAN declared that it was not
against wearing of hijab in Osun public schools, but
Christian students would also adorn themselves with religious garments when going to school today.
In a communiqué issued at end of their meeting held in Osogbo, the state capital, the youth wing of CAN contended that the judgment of Justice Jide Falola that legitimised wearing of hijab in public schools was a direct opposite of the mutual agreement leaders of National Inter-religious Council (NIREC), Osun State chapter, reached on the issue. Signed by the state chairman, Youth Wing of CAN (YOWICAN), Mr Nicholas Owo-Ofe and his secretary, Mr Popoola Timilehin, the group said “we believe this is the process of Aregbesola Islamisation Agenda in the state, which was earlier stated in 2012 by the Directorate of Military Intelligence and corroborated by OS-CAN in 2014. The Christian youths will oppose this dubious agenda.” The communiqué read in parts, “Implementing the judgment will show the whole world that Aregbesola-led administration is trying to disturb the peace that the state is enjoying. We want to call on all the security operatives, DSS, Police, NSCDC to advise the state government accordingly on the security implication of implementing such judgment.
“We will like to emphasise that we are not challenging the right of Muslim students to wear hijab for the propagation of Islam in public schools. What we are saying is that this should not be extended to schools that are originally owned by Christian missions as contained in the Osun State NIREC agreement of 2014.

“Should the state government decide to implement
the judgment; the State YOWICAN will mobilise and
instruct all our youths in different blocs and schools
to start wearing their Christian garments and
vestments as part of their school uniform for
propagation of our faith.”

Reading the communiqué issued at the end of the
emergency meeting of the body held in Osogbo,
YOWICAN president, Nicholas Owoofe, said on
November 30, 2011, the issue of hijab came up for
discussion and leaders of the two religions agreed
that only conventional uniforms would be allowed in public schools.
“We were, however, disturbed that a group later went to court and now they are saying the judgment must be implemented. Why would hijab become an issue at the moment when Christians and Muslims have been living happily together for years without crisis? “In Justice Falola’s judgment, he ruled that wearing of Hijab is a right and a means to propagate Islam. We need to remind those behind this move that at the point of takeover of Christian-mission founded schools in 1975, agreement reached with them was that only administration of the schools would be taken over.

“Original owners of the schools were also assured
that their philosophy, traditions and culture would
not be tampered with. Why would all these be thrown away? We are not against using of hijab, but let whoever is interested in wearing hijab do so in
Muslim-mission founded public schools.”

The group, however, urged all Christian students to
remain law abiding and also exercise their rights to
wear dresses that can propagate their faith to
schools.

This Buhari administration ehn

Na traditionalist dem own go sure pass

All hail Ogbeni Aregbe

This is a very commendable position.

Some people cannot use style to corner what is not theirs ab initio.

Like CAN said, no one is against Hijab, at the same time, no one has a monopoly of madness. We all have fundamental right that must be protected by the same constitution.

Traditionalists, AMORC, Rosicrucians, Olumba Olumba, --- over to you. Exercise your fundamental human right too.

All hail Emperor Aregbe Khomeini and Judge of the year -- Justice Falola.

It's either we remove religious dressing totally or everyone sticks to his or her own. How can you have female muslim students using hijab in a school established by the Baptist, Catholic or Anglican church?

The truth is I care less about any hijab whatsoever.

Once a religion is allowed to use Govt apparatus and property to propagate its religion, such Govt is no more secular and to ensure such Govt does not turn itself into monotheist Govt, all other religions too must also enforce their fundamental human right on such govt property. By so doing, such govt and its institution will become a multitheist Government, by fire by force.

Justice Falola's ruling just gave everybody the right to use govt apparatus and properties to propagate our religions, be it Xtians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Amorc, Ogboni etc.

With the ruling, an Ogboni child has the right to wear white wrapper to an Islahudeen Sec School, in the name of his fundamental human right and NO ONE has the right to turn him back.

Aregbesola is simply misbehaving and unfortunately, is unwise decision will easily degenerate to the breach of peace in our treasured and envied SW. I wonder how the plantiff was able to manipulate and win this case without a political undertone.

I don't just understand again, weyrey people too full my state, from a sitting judge writing petition against the governor on matter wey no matter to her, to a judge smoking weed before giving a ridiculous judgment.
this is isu ata yan yan (yam pepper scatter scatter)

Aregbe's antecedents alone is enough to tell someone that the state government deliberately lost the case.

foooools no one will tell them to stop wearing this nonsense

I can't believe we're still this backward, how did we allow religious steadfastness to over throne our moral sense of fair assessment on premier matters like this. Hijab in baptist and Anglican schools is the most rediculous thing I could have ever imagined, alas, it is materialising.

If they are fools for wearing Christian garments then your muslim folks are moronic imbecilic neanderthals for wearing hijab.

They should continue wearing their church garments as if they have one sef, confused set of people. They should also wear it to market places, garages, etc... Una go soon tire because it's never part of your dressing, hypocrite! And once again, thanks to CAN for making the hijab a thing that even the unserious Muslims will start wearing all the time.. Keep helping us spread our religion

Bekwarra:

I blame the Muslim students who are attending Christians' public school. aren't there other schools they can attend?
