Islam will dominate the world it is already prophesied. CAN you cannot put barriers on Muslims to learn their religion just as Muslims do not put barriers on your faith.

yes,just d way islam dominates d war torn middle east,and north africa,. d truth is Islam is synonymous with anything evil,sinister,barbaric,and extreme.Its a curse on this planet.

asuustrike2009:

Chinese is one of such. That's why Fashola try to make it compulsory for public schools.
Modified
Japanese, Spanish, German languages

Why are these languages of more economic values than Arabic?

ephi321:


I guess you did not read the article.. else you would have seen that when there are no CRK and French teachers (which occurs a lot since French teachers are also few), then students have no option but to do IRK, which is not right. No student should be made to study such if they don't want to.

I read the article and the article just shows the position of CAN. I don't have to follow CAN because I have the curriculum in my office and I know what it says which is quite different from the wrong information that CAN is circulating. I am a teacher, a school proprietor. Except for if anyone misinterprets the curriculum, neither French nor Arabic is compulsory. The curriculum says you must study one local language and one international language. You have fulfilled the requirement if you study English so no one will force yo to study Arabic. Having said that, my question is, "What is wrong in studying Arabic Language?" Oh! Because the Koran is written in Arabic? So If I can speak Arabic, it automatically makes me a moslem? I pity people who reason like this.

They're of economic value to us because of business tie.

If Islam is synonymous is the aforelisted atrocities, you should be dead. Moreso, the war torn middle east countries and Libya was ruined by the west and yes, they are Christians .

I wouldn't say Christianity is synonymous with all these absurb things cos I'm learned and won't you the crimes of a selected few to judge a whole faith.

That's the difference between me and you

Shalom!

"Many Muslims"? You see how dumb you are.

This is what you posted:

Whats the cause of terror in Libya, Afganistan, Iraq, Syria et al. ? Who ruined this countries? Christians did and they have done far worse things

Why are you angry that I repeated your statement ?

You literally claimed that "we are so dumb that christians are making us kill ourselves and
ruining our country.

Given that many muslims share your sentiment that Islamic terrorist are being controlled by
christians meaning muslims are zombies who can't think for themselves except some christians
tell them what to do.

There are many German companies in Nigeria particularly in the construction sector. There is an existing partnership already.

Nigerians import a large chunk of items from China, not to mention the loans they are constantly begging China for.

What do we import or benefit from Saudi Arabia or any Arabic country (besides dates in reference to an earlier thread today).

Every country imports from China. Didnt Lagos sign a deal with UAE sometime ago? I'm wondering why you said no word about Spanish language.

But you were earlier claiming there was no economic benefit na, now it is "every country imports from China"

I am not going to waste my time this afternoon doing back and forth with a dogmatic person. The point has been made, which is that IRK has no place in being a compulsory option in this country's educational system. Eod.

ollah1:



Irk and crk aren't in the curriculum anymore. What are the other languages better than Arabic? Why do you have a problem with the Arabic language? Why do you consider those languages better han Arabic?

Chinese, Spanish, Hindi are more widely spoken than Arabic.

Better languages to be taught:
1. Chinese - because China is an emerging world power and I'm sure you encounter more Chinese here in Nigeria and around the world doing businesses than Arabs.

2. French - because Nigeria is part of ECOWAS

3. German - loads of them doing big businesses in Nigeria.

Where in my comment did i say there isn't any economic importance. You guys are just this simply cos it s Arabic, do you know how much imports Nigeria make from UAE? You are calling someone a dogmatic person yet you aren't countering him with a superior argument. Morso, IRK isn't in the curriculum. Learn to read and comprehend .

The compulsory study of Islamic Studies in our secondary schools is a step towards islamizing our great Nation Nigeria and would only breed more and more terrorists in the making.

No way! God will scatter all their evil plans against this nation.
The Bible says surely they will gather but He "Olowogbogboro"will scatter them all.

If you can't relate your comment about business ties to economic benefit, then the situation is even worse than I thought.

This is my last reply to you. It's your headache if you want to argue it all day. #WeSayNoToCompulsoryIRK. End of story.

In a country still battling Boko haram as we speak, this should be the least of their priorities. Indoctrination in multiple shades. Smh.

OZAOEKPE:

Arabic bro not Islamic studies they want to make is compulsory for all students

There is nothing called Islamic Arabic studies but among the languages to choose there is Arabic , French, hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. The envious and mischievous CAN are now insisting that nobody should study Arabic and they are calling the language study as Islamic arabic. Most of Lebanon and large proportion of Palestine and Egypt are Christians but they are also arabs with arabic as their first language and their bible and church services are in arabic. Don't allow these ignorant trouble makers to confuse you.

Yes it's a huge scam. Now my turn to ask the questions? Why do you think Arabic should be taught in schools

By your logic, Fridays should be removed as a working day. Suits shouldn't be work anymore and English shouldn't be spoken as official language . After all, we want "fairness"

Why make mention of it then? Tryna score a cheap point? UAE is among the top import location for Nigeria ? Now, why shouldn't Arabic be taught in schools ?

feelgoodInc:


how can you go through my comments without reading the thread? majority in the school learn IRK and a student says he's not offering IRK, because he's a Christian, then guess what happened?

please don't quote me again read the thread, or ask the person that posted it

Students do a subject and don't offer it. However, the rationale for our curriculum to offer Arabic language for student isn't all bad except that it is the language of most Islamic countries and Nigeria being a religious country with two major religions of Christianity and Islam, adherents of the former might rightly kick that Hebrew, for instance, isn't included to balance the 'equation'. But we are surrounded by Francophone countries. French should have been left as the only option for equity. Just my opinion.

baylord101:
Na wa oo, CAN is always complaining, Probably it's for those religion bigostic in the SE and Core North because I could remember my days back in secondary School, we divide the class to two for IRS/CRS class.

Back then in Umunneochi in Abia state, any time we are preparing for solat passerby will open their mouth and locked their leg just to witness what we are doing and I blame them not because it's only Christianity they were exposed to unlike in Southwest where you will see both sleeping in the same room.

That's my Local govt.
