The problem is, WAEC has set an exam at a time when Muslims would be in the mosque.

If WAEC st exam on Sundays...would you be saying the same thing about CAN?

Islamic fundamentalist behaviour has hurt a lot of Christians, but this is not the issue here.

the only day been recognized as a Islamic hour is Friday 1_3 o'clock
which time come be Islamic hours again
Muslims that prays five times a day
okay what if Christians should also put into consideration the hours used by Christians to pray, their weekly prayers, of which every church have it own hours for weekly activities in churches

The issue is not Muslim vs Christian..the issue is planning.

Poor planing has been the bane of this country.

I wrote one of my final year degree paper on a Sunday morning and heaven didn't come down. Nigeria is a secular country implying that decisions made should be devoid of religious sentiments. MURIC should stop whining around.

U wrote an exam on a Sunday because u are too weak to challenge d status quo. People like u won't make a good leader in d future. Too gullible, as u accept any victimization that comes ur way. U wrote an exam on Sunday and u are very proud to use dat as an example to counter MURIC's statement about poor planning of WAEC.
Many of u just saw d word Muric and started blabbing without looking into d situation objectively. Objectivity is d beauty of law, lawyers look into matters more critically than a mere civilian. Learn to tolerate others. Things like this won't happen in US and other developed countries. Developed countries have proper plannings and they accommodate every religion.

I dont know why a anyone would make such a threat (if it is true that such a threat twas made) and certainly such should both be condemned and investigated. I also hope he has not been quoted out of context.

I am still not clear how will an exam body fix exam for Jumat service period

It will be ridiculous in the extreme to ask a secular examination body to take into consideration hours of worship during the daytime on a weekday, in terms of scheduling its examinations. Nigeria is supposed to be a secular state sir.

and still not clear why should Muslim must go to court before their daughters are allowed to use Hijab in schools when we are in Democratic settings (a non-hypocrite mind will ask the same question too). The most annoying thing is the nonobjective contributions of some Nairalander here (many who have travelled to a developed country with strictly less Muslim population).

Please don't be absurd. Why should anyone violate a school uniform on religious grounds?

Stupid organization

Don't mind them.... Everything is always competition to all theses people that religious bigotry has taken half of their cerebrum....

It's always Christianity vs Islam and not common sense

The threat is hoax. I was one that thread and sane mind will easily decipher the game. They mentioned the name of the professor but claimed the reporter prefers to remain anonymous while the source is one rubbish free website from google, not even punch, vanguard, sunnews or sahara.

Trash.

MURIC is a terrorist organization, their level of bigotry is alarming, I wonder why the government hasn't done something about these mad people.

All they preach about is hate and hate, never will you see this MURIC advising Muslims to love non Muslims, or preaching love, all they are known for is bigotry, hate, confusion etc

Spit.

theoldpretender:
A big problem in Nigeria is the issue of religious intolerance.

MURIC should remember that many Muslims have been attacking Chrsitians for years, and nothing was done...and the fact that CAN fights for Christian rights is borne out of bitter experiences.

However, at the same time, the religous rights of Muslim students should and must be respected. Secularisim does not mean that Chrstian rights must be respected above Muslim rights, or that Muslims must be forced to disobey the dictates of their religion. Muslims must not be forced to remove their hijabs, nor Christians must be forced to wear hijab. Exam bodies must learn to accomodate religious days....and must do so in advance.

The real problem is poor planing on the part of WAEC. WAEC , like many Nigerian organisations, does not plan well ahead of time. And they do not learn to make accomodations. Had this been the USA...there would have been accomodations made for religious students, and non religious students.

If we must live in peace in this country...we must be willing to be tolerant. Not selectively....but on a case by case basis. Thank you. I defend no religion.

WAEC is not a Nigerian organization, it is a west African organization. While it is a standard exam, it doesn't fall under the purview of the government in its decision-making. It's pretty much like telling ICAN to shift its exam dates because you have to pray at a particular time. It can be suggested but it should be understood that it will affect the structure of the exam itself extending time limits and finances. Trying to make it a religious matter is very silly in my opinion and in the USA that you mentioned, religion is barred in public school system so as to avoid this sort of things.

Guyman02:

why do you ppl say all these things. So baseless, I've prayed in several hausa dominated areas with them joining us

WAEC is a West african organisation, but they can still accommodate religions because most people in their member organizations are either Chrstian or Muslim

Personally, I don't mind when WAEC conducts its exams...the problem is, there are far too many agitators on both sides who profit from bad policy decisions.

Good planing means being fair to all. As one of the Rotary group's 4 way tests puts it...IS it fair to all?

Exactly is it fair to all? Does reducing the time for the exams on a religious request seem fair? It affects everyone else adversely. The timetable will probably be shortened reducing preparation time for papers and in a case where it is extended, it affects preparations for NECO. How is that fair to everyone? Religious belief is personal and should remain so.

we are not compatible with those Muslim fanatics. let them have a country of their own and stop disturbing our peace .

Odingo1:
They should just have Arewa repulic and practice their Islam like Saudi Arabia without hindrance, everytime they are just looking for trouble. Yoruba muslim man trying to please the north and northern muslims dont regard him as a true muslim. What a shame

there is one mosques in kawo, Kaduna state near NDA barrack, a Yoruba and Hausa man started it, later the Hausa man leave the Area leaving the Yoruba man, the rest of the Hausa Muslims forbid the Yoruba man to lead prayer, that how they conspired to drive him

That muric man is the biggest fool and an illierate,fool,madman and an Arabian slave .

lenghtinny:


And who told you I'm a Christian ....

The religion wey all of una dey carry for head in Naija, how has it made it a better place for humans...

If all you care about is attending religious gathering with your family, then withdraw your wards from school and be residing in mosques now....

It's even more annoying that you are a Yoruba man... Divisive people like Akintola should be expelled from Yorubaland and send to borno to join his comrades in arms.... But here you are calling on Yoruba Muslims to rise up against their families because of some religions from Saudi Arabia and Israel

An average Yoruba family has both Muslims and Christians.... I have both Christians and Muslims in my family even though I'm indifferent to both... Should I start acting untowards to them because we don't share the same faith

I'd advise you to relocate to borno or Kano, that's where toxic and intolerant people like you resides

I'm not intolerant, you can be whatever religion you want no one gives a fuccck. Asking for our rights to be respected doesn't tantamount we support Boko haram, as usual instead of you to be logical you resort to ad hominem. Ever since the establishment of Nigeria, Nigerian Muslims have had their free day turned to work day and Christians having Saturday and Sunday. We didn't complain, but your people then went ahead to set examinations on day and time were the students ought to be in the mosques. I mean, what kind of oppression is that?

You can go through my posts, I don't always support MURIC as the guy says rubbish most times. Example is the last one they said Buhari should consider Yoruba Muslims in his cabinet, I consider it rubbish. But in this case with WAEC, I'm with them, it's our right. And for my relocation, I'm in Yorubaland, come and beat me

It conforms with rules and regulations of the country, this is why WAEC or ICAN don't set exams on SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS because they know it's an holiday and worship day in WEST AFRICA. Stop all this double standards, stop implying what doesn't exist!

clarocuzioo:
Prof. Akintola, please kindly push for an Islamic country to be carved from Nigeria where the Sharia Law, and Islamic principles will be fully Implemented without any disturbance from anybody, we will gladly support you.

It's very Ironical that these people shouting Islam in Nigeria will only go to Saudi Arabia for Hajji, but will choose countries like America for tourism because they actually enjoy the freedom there.

the funniest thing is that the MUSLIMS that dont like christian things and doctrines dont like to stay on their own or in a country of their own.
they will always want to stay around the christians to look for what to criticize
they are always behaving like "people wey dem send"

form ur own country and practice ur religion according to the dictates of ur religion and stop disturbing us. is that too much to ask?

christian doctrines have grown the world to where it is today. christian countries in europe are ok and everybody wants to go there. are those not the doctrines that we should emulate?
why do u want to impose afghanistan, iraq, iran and saudi doctrines on us. give us good reasons please

And when did the Federal Government of Nigeria declare Friday as a non working day. It's not double standards, if muric wants the timetable reviewed it should take waec to court or start it's own internationally recognized Olevel exams. Spewing hate and religious bigotry won't get them anywhere. They are like children who want attention and think throwing mucus and spittle everywhere will get it for them.

Why not take your grievances to the national assembly to compel them to make Friday a work free so that you can have a swell time in your mosques every Friday...

Lol, I just notice that all the countries you are making reference to are not Islamic countries or don't Islamic countries accommodate other religions?

Bros stop talking trash here, you people are been consider in every aspect of Nigeria government factor yet you want more.

And to that idiot mumuric, so he can make noise when a reverend is use as head of waec but shut up when that an Islamic bigot is use as head of jamb.

Fact is that it not the Friday exam that's paining your useless mumuric but the fact that the person in charge of WAEC is a Christian. Lol, I understand una pain. Last I check last year jamb was written even on Friday but you bigot didn't have anything to say about it. Keep trolling.
