Does covenant,redeemers university etc allow muslim gathering


U just want to make trouble where nd when there is none.

This shows how retarded you are. How on Earth can u compare a University built by a church to that built by the government on such issue? The latter is built by Tax payers money for God's sake

Bro I get and feel your Pain. The difference between us and dem is that WE THINK, THEY DON'T. That same kind of thing has been said in the SOUTH, but because of our Independent Mindset, some people no go heed your call. But out there, THEY DON"T THINK. They Just follow like their COWS.

All the SHARIA thing in the NORTH, we can Practise in the SOUTH(Not Sharia o) But our own form of Christian Doctrines. But for where we no go do am. because of Civilization and Education.
everything you just said is true sir and i agree with you, but i just pray we stop this MUMU behavior because even God wont be happy with it.

are covenant, redeemers federal universities? Umar musa university is a federal university and should not create a religious dichotomy.
well am not saying this should make it right, but UMYUK is a state university. FED- DUTSIN-MA is the federal university in katsina. Again there is probably no Christian association at the time of the release, we all know Katsina is 99% muslims.

Why as a country we accepted Shari'a? It is the same principle.

I hope you understood my explanation on the illegality of the state university banning all religious organisation except islam?
If you do, let me know so we can enter into another domain, ie. Of sharia laws in the Northern state.

You made an allegation. It is on you to supply proof. That is an elementary aspect of debate. We have a memo in the case at hand and nothing with regards to your allegation. So point to a law or memo that stops or restricts islamic worship in the south east

Umaru Musa Yaradua University is a state university nt FG. They also has FG university built during GEJ time. UMY University was formally Katsina state University, it was established during late Umaru Musa Yaradua time as Katsina governor. Katsina state university was renamed UMYU to immortalised Late Umaru Musa Yaradua.
Although wat dey did is wrong from my own perspective.

Re: Umar Musa University Bans Christian Gatherings Leaving Islamic Gathering Only by Rilwayne001: 1:04pm On Jan 22, 2017
Chapter 1, Part 2: Section 10 of the Nigerian Law states that:

The Government of the Federation or of a State shall not adopt any religion as State Religion

So those saying Kastina is a Muslim state and that they have the right to promulgate any law that favors a particular religion and not the other — thereby denying them of their freedom of association, must be high of weed. sad

It is a federal university built with Tax payers money.

FYI, I left university 13 years ago. Not even my children will attend such school. Am only concerned because this is pure religious discrimination in a secular state with constitutional democracy
well to correct your first statement, UMYUK is a state university.

They never banned christain gathering or churches...from the memo they said only the muslim association is allowed but the topic does not reflect that....Am not supporting what it says but try not to misinform people...i see no ban of worship from the memo only ban of religious association...

I hope u will see the error in your assertion.

You meant 'shall not'

But am yet to see this news on Vanguard or any reputable news site, this could be another propaganda
Re: Umar Musa University Bans Christian Gatherings Leaving Islamic Gathering Only by kdmi(m): 1:09pm On Jan 22, 2017
The best way to react to this issue is for a university in a Christian dominated state like plateau,Benue,Taraba,Enugu,Bayelsa or any south or eastern state to follow suit,by banning all religion activities and allow Christian only,then we allow the federal government to decide,but if we allow CAN or any leader to talk we will loose,this is the
only language they understand, iam from the north,I know them very well.Just do to them double what they do to you,them will understand better.

Why u ppl are negatively so sensitive about Islam like that. Everything is about Islamizing & Islamizing.

If d info is truth then u need to ask WHY before ur comment, because if u look at d info well u will see other organisations banned as well, afterall there are Christians among the staff. So talk to ur senses.

The authorities of the Umaru Yar’Ádua University, Katsina, have denied discriminating against Christian students in the approval granted a students religious association to operate on its campus.
The Acting Dean of Student Affairs of the University, Sulaiman Kankara, had in January 17 memo informed students of a new guideline for the registration of clubs and associations in the institution.
In the circular, Dr. Kankara indicated that participation in clubs and associations, including departmental ones, were strictly optional and that no student should be compelled to pay dues.
He also outlawed the formation of tribal and local government associations in the university.
But the controversial part of the memo which made the document to go viral was the dean’s pronouncement that the “Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is the only religious association allowed to operate on campus.”
After the memo was shared on social media, the university came under ferocious attacks from many Nigerians, with some commentators saying the guideline was part of government’s plot to Islamise Nigeria.
But when contacted on Sunday morning, Dr. Kankara said that aspect of the guideline was actually targeted at Islamic groups which were beginning to mushroom on campus, creating division among students of the same faith.
The dean said, “Actually there is one misconception in the memo. But the fact of the matter is that in Umaru Yar’Ádua University, there is no association known as Christian Students Association.


“There is one religious association and subsidiary Islamic students associations like the Tijjanniya Students Movement in Nigeria, Academic Forum of Islamic Movement in Nigeria and many associations like that.
“They are Islamic students association. So what we want is to have a single union which will be the mouthpiece of muslim students and that is the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria.
“It has nothing to do with any Christian group because up till now, I have not received any application requesting registration of Christian Students Society.
“And once they do that, we are ready to register them. Even as at last week, we said the two religious group to be recognised by the university will be the Muslim one and one from Christian side.
“Up till now we are to receive any application for the registration of any Christian association in the university from any group."
