You mean Arabic is the most widely spoken language in all of Africa? Lol On the contrary it is not amongst the ten most spoken languages in Africa. Do your research before your brandish your ignorance on social media..

sirfee:
Yes it is,you must be a Muslim for saying this.I'm neither a Christian nor a Muslim but I'm against this move because it is nothing but an infringement on the civil rights of non muslim students in this country.The northern conspirators should be extremely careful because we are not in the middle east or Mecca.Nigeria is a secular state with numerous ethnic groups,norms,languages,culture,traditions, religions etc.They should respect our fundamental human rights,we are not living in Afghanistan or Yemen.

Afam4eva:

So, why are we learning Arabic instead instead of Spanish and Hindi? Where did you place Chinese? Is Arabic a global language like French and Spanish? Is it more sort after than Italian and German? What exactly is the reason for introducing Arabic if not through the Islamic angle.

You fall my hands big time, how many people know this language? How can it be taught when Nigerians don't even speak or use it? Who would teach it sef? Or are you saying we should employ foreigners to come teach?

Eno38151:


How does it infringe upon the rights of the non muslims?

Teeeecash:
Must u brand the language satanic ? uhn. . . . troll

GEJPosterity:
The fact that every single person on this thread passionately defending "Arabic Studies" is a muslim tells me everything I need to know about the obvious relationship between Arabic and Islamism.

It's good that you guys have exposed yourselves here. In a way, I should thank you for sensitizing the thousands of people who will read this thread.

I went to a private school but wrote my waec in a govt school and yes I was dealt with for refusing a subject, infact because of refusing a subject I was made not to write the others in waec,. Thanks to God for neco.so guy stop arguing baseless.

babyfaceafrica:
Super story.. Which school will beat a student for refusing to do a subject?.. Even if na English you no do..no one will touch you..you will just fail it..make una lie small nah!!..that said who Arabic study EPP?

If you have heard the word jihad, you wont doubt the allegation. Jihad is fought with weapons, not just guns.

Please don't say what u don't know. It really happened in kwara state, where Bishop Oyedepo comes from. It should not surprise us because that is the same way students in quranic school are being treated. Beaten like animals but they should not try and extend that kind of punishment to our Christian students.
If that rubbish did not happen, do u think the men of God will come out to talk about it.

SAVEDBABA:
English nor French as you mentioned do not have any religous Affiliation, so dont try to associate them with Christianity Arabic on the other has religious affiliation,so thats the issue on ground and that is a concern to Nigerians especially Christian and by the way i did Arabic language in Jss 2 so i know.

Kathmandu:
This is why people want out of this country because the educated illiterates are multiplying daily.

Can't you imagine yourself using your brain for once

Eno38151:


Have you ever read HEBREW in your life??

How many of your pastors & CAN members actually speak HEBREW,

Have you ever been to church and then the pastor just decided to deliver his full talk in hebrew. ??

Dont run away from reality If HEBREW IS the TONGUE of CHRISTIANITY then ENGLISH must be its SALIVA.

alBHAGDADI:
Did you pass through a government owned school or one of those mushroom 2 classrooms schools? If you had passed through a public school, you will know that students get flogged like criminals for something as little as not doing an assignment, how much more rejecting to offer a subject.

We are yet to study the over 200 languages which are indigenous to Nigeria, yet some shady people in government with an evil agenda want us to start studying Arabic, a language that hasn't benefitted the Arabs themselves.

As for those who have been deceived to think there is no imagination plot, pls think again. It will all move from just the study of Arabic to making Arabic the language franca in Nigeria.

"Oh, it can never happen". But they are already taking the first steps.

No evil agenda against the children of the Living God will succeed. Must as David destroyed the camp of the Philistines, so shall their camp be destroyed.

alBHAGDADI:
You mean students didn't get flogged for not doing an assignment in the school you attended?

Your stance make no sense. If students could get flogged for not doing home work, coming to school on time etc how much more will be for a student who boycotts a subject?

If a student refuse to take a subject, he is bound to fail that subject thereby jeopardizing his chances of promotion. Such student will be kicked out. That's likely going to be the fate of Christians who boycott Arabic studies.

Now, if you say Arabic is useless, don't you think you ought to speak against the introduction of a useless subject?

Note that CAN and PFN said they have text messages from parents whose children were flogged amidst other proofs. Now, who are you to say they are lying?

Omexonomy:
then why do they wittle or collapse crk? Only the truth shall set us free

babyfaceafrica:
do you have prove that some people were actually flogged for refusing to take Arabic,or it is just a sentimental gesture to wipe up sentiments.. I actually went to a public school and I repeat no one was beaten for refusing to take a subject... You will simply fail and have zero!!!!!..like as said earlier Arabic is as useless as the p in psychology

Paperwhite:
Must every proponent of the APC government always be daft? Go to Niger & Kwara states to know what Christian students are passing as regards this issue.What have sycophants of the catastrophic "Sai Baba" done about the senseless killings of Christians in this evil regime? So his concern is for Christians to study the satanic arabic language.Thunder fire you there.Fool.

charlesluthor:

There's difference b/w public sch (new era) nd govt sch (old era). Am sure u went to public sch. Me I went to Govt sch, I got flogged every Monday for maths class nd chemistry, cux I always skip dem.

mfm04622:


Which other foreign languages apart from those two do we have capacity (teachers and teacher training capacity) to teach students now?

dataking:
Some christians are radicals and myopic. Whats wrong with arabic being taught in schools. Its the most widely spoken language in all of africa. No language comes close. Yet, all you can see and say is what your pastors throw into your dull skulls. What of english that has been taught for ages since the time of the missionaries. Did muslims cry foul. I studied french in secondary school. Did it turn me into a french man. Rubbish. So many illiterates that are boko haram in their thought process.
