Defend what? Be calm and dont be a keyboard warrior, i havent mentioned my religion here, i only enlightened you as part of leadership skills you acquire in other to cause further chaos in the environs. No need to attach write up. I dont believe in men! Only God spoken words i preach, all men are flesh. Flesh can be borrowed anytime.
you think you can deceive me?. See highlighted?. That's exactly christian phrases. I know you read the screenshots or gone through the thread earlier and you realized how terrible your religion of christianity and pastors were. Don't try to say you aren't christian. This is Christian logic to avoid criticisms. I don't buy that.

Simply condemn your religious fanatical leaders that are hellbent in destabilizing the country in the name of religion. My guy, we Muslims will eventually take up the matter of their evil manifesto in the future and this will land entire stupid religion called Christianity in Nigeria in hot water.

Please don't preach to me how to speak. I know exactly how to speak appropriately when the time is right. But now, we must condemn Christianity founded upon hate, bigotry and intolerance.

CAN of worm is a Judeo-christian zionists terror organization MUST be tamed. Or else, we will teach that fuvking religion a lesson in the country.

Who the hell they think they are?. Muslims have been so tolerating of their bullshit for far too long. Go and read their manifesto again and stop running away from it.

If you insist you don't want to read it, I will help you type out few statements in their christian terrorist manifesto.

The schools are public owned and sponsored by the government.

Are the Christian mission schools bigger than the law of the state.

The case was taken to the court and the court ruled that in favor of hijab use for muslim girls

So what are the so called mission schools fighting for
[/s]

Public school is public school and not a religion centers. So, why are you are contradicting yourself? Public schools abound in Ilorin operating under the islamic tenets; why can't you guys let the sleeping dog lies?

Tomorrow, you will feel entitled to build mosque in the same setting under the umbrella of being a public school.

We had no female students wearing hijab in Federal Colleges even in the North all through the 70s to the 90s to the best of my knowledge. ALL female students of both public and mission schools wore berets or hats. When did hijab suddenly become mandatory in Islam? It's not one of the 5 pillars of Islam nor is it in the Holy Koran which states modest dressing ....same as in the Holy Bible.

A uniform is a leveller and promotes unity.

I just pray that they don't succeed in dividing our youth and/or initiating them in to extremism. BH and ISWAP are still with us as a major issue. Let's beware of creating more battle fronts.
How do little girls wearing hijab affect anybody? Seriously the level of hate display by C.A.N and some Christian fanatics is alarming.

Kwara State is a predominantly Muslim state, go to Rivers,Akwaibom,anambra etc.. and do what you want to do there..
In as much I hate to say I think, you are foolish person... what concern school a place of learning to religion? all school should have one uniform not some will be wearing hijab while some will not.... in school uniform supposed to be the same.... both Christian's and Muslims should wear Beret or hat simple...

I'm sorry but you ain't addressing the main issue which is the highest level of intolerance by the Christians...

The main reason why issue of hijab is coming up now is simply because those schools have been taken over by the government, hence every student has the right to dress in accordance with the provision of his/her religion as permitted by law as long as it doesn't alter the original uniform and I don't see how putting a piece of cape over your head changes the uniform. Before now, when the schools were still owned by the missionary, no Muslim student dared wear hijab to school just because of the Christian authorities can not just withstand the sight of it, whereas, hijab has always been part of the uniform In Muslim owned school but the Christians were not forced to put them on.. So one may want to ask, why was the hatred for other religion so much that you can't even withstand them fulfilling a part of their religion In your territory? Does it affect you in anyway? Or you just detest the religion and those who practise it?

I've worked both in Muslim owned and Christian owned private schools, and while the Muslim school had teacher for CRS, the latter didn't allow IRS to be taught to Muslim students..

And to further prove that it's not really about the uniform, the hatred is for the religion and all that promotes it, if for instance a (SU) decides to extend the lower part of her uniform beyond the knee length which is against the design of the schools, no one raises an eyebrow, If a Christian student puts on a beret which may not be part of the uniform, no one complains, so why the issue when it comes to hijab?

While in school, all female students were mandated to put on a beret in a govt owned school and no hijab was allowed, and mind you, the beret was not part of the uniform and even if it was, it represents a faith, so why should those who do not believe In their faith compelled to dress like them and even punish them if they fail to comply?

So the problem simply is intolerance and above that, hatred for other religion.

Beret is western...most Christian schools use beret

Hijab is Islamic.

If a Muslim girl says she doesn't want to wear a beret then she should be allowed to wear a hijab

In short, everyone should be allowed to do whatever he wants. Thank God you know Beret isn't Christian.

Kudos to you.

Re: Hijab Crisis: CAN Hasn’t Learnt From History, Says MURIC by adebayo987: 5:30pm On Mar 18, 2021
Why not wear your Hijab at home and wear school uniform to school?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Guys, come one. This thing is the other way round. Muslims should follow school instructions by wearing school uniform. Muslims are trying to cause religious war with their hijab. Parent should teach their pupils to obey their teachers. Look, this is how rebellion starts. You can't judge from one side. I'm sure the school has its reasons for their action and besides, is that the only school there? If i were the school, i'll teach and convert all the muslim children to christian because they're in my school.
Re: Hijab Crisis: CAN Hasn’t Learnt From History, Says MURIC by adebayo987: 5:39pm On Mar 18, 2021
I won't be surprised to see muslims trying to control schools on the subjects their wards should learn. These cow brains won't understand that a school or an organisation has its rule and regulations (policies). Can you go and tell facebook to allow you go against their policy because you're a muslim or christian or an atheist? Irrespective of where you're coming from, to participate in a community, you must follow its policies.

If you didn't care about enrolling in a school that was built and anointed by a church, it's very stupid of you to care about wearing hijab.

Also, Their apparel is a uniform! Now tell me the meaning of uniform? It's called uniform for a reason, illiterate!

TAO11:
I agree with you for the most part. In U. S. Government schools, Muslim kids are allowed to use their hijabs if that’s what religious expression is for them. And Christian kids and others are allowed to bare their heads if that’s what religious expression is for them.

I don’t think the religions are mutually intolerant — the problem of intolerance begins and ends with the people (the adherents of the religions) on both sides.

The typical Nigerian Christian, for example, seeks to exclude, demonize and decontextualize the other religions as much as (s)he possibly can. It’s almost like a requirement for heaven. And exactly the same goes for the typical Nigerian Muslim.

In fact, the same attitude is beginning nowadays to emerge even amongst some adherents of the indigenous religions.

All these is despite the fact that all these religions do not necessarily require this madness as an article of their respective faiths.

But trust these bigots on each side of the divide to always be ready to justify their insanity even to the extent of seeking their respective scriptures as support by re-interpreting to unimaginable extents just to justify madness.

In America, you can't try such shit in a missionary school built by the church! Sink that into your skull! They have uniform for a reason. Now tell me the meaning of uniform?

Even if it is a government school, is that a reason why the people of the Islamic faith will always want to forment trouble when there is none? I went to a catholic school. Though muslims in the school used to stay with us in the assembly ground during prayers and with the school having a chapel, none has ever been forced to pray or behave in the christain way.So why are they always in the offensive.
No Christian has ever been forced to put on hijab also. It's optional for Muslim females in our govt funded schools.

Point of correction. Igbomina doesn't have more Christians and also said Offa is 52-48. Small small sma-small fa. Offa should be 85-15%. Go and do more research. Largest towns in Igbomina land are Omu-Aran, Oro, Shaare, Ajase, Ganmo,Igbaja, Ilala etc. Why do you think Igbomina land has more Christians? Maybe, because of small villages in Oke-Ero, Ekiti and Isin LGA sha.

as a muslim, i don't rate this muric guy or even CAN........but in all honesty this school we're talking about is a historically Christian school with it's laws and regulations and if the laws aren't favorable with me or doesn't go with my religion i'd simply leave the school, if everyone starts bringing religion into the class room it won't end well at all. should the ifa and sango worshippers also be allowed to wear their traditional clothing to class in historically muslim schools, there are lots of great muslim schools in ilorin that one can send your child to and you'd wear hijab and be surrounded by fellow muslims but you choose to send your child to a historically Christian school but you want them to change their laws to accommodate your believes and you think you're not an agent of confusion and disunity sent by the devil. Islam tasks us to speak the truth always and what's happening in ilorin is absolutely disturbing, the governor should not use religious sentiments in politics because he should remember that his wife is also a christian.

Exactly this! It's called "uniform" for a reason.

Like I said, my aunt was once transferred to a public Muslim school and had to enrol her little baby girl in the Muslim school because she was too young to be schooling anywhere else and there was no one to monitor her. This little girl would wear hijab according to her "school uniform". In fact we often called her little alhaja. Why wasn't my aunt fighting to change the school apparel? Because she's educated enough to know it's "uniform" wear. Everyone's apparel has to be uniform hence the name uniform to begin with. That's how it should be. Also, she was the one who enrolled her child into the school despite knowing their apparel and settings. If she didn't concern herself with all these before enrolling her kid, it would be very stupid of her to be fighting over an apparel.

If anyone wants a Muslim or Christian settings, go to either a Muslim or Christian school respectively. Stop being a nuisance everywhere.

motayoayinde:


ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU TYPED HERE IS FALSE.

NOW LET'S ANALYSE THE RELIGIOUS DEMOGRAPHICS OF YORUBA-SPEAKING PEOPLE OF NIGERIA CAREFULLY AND IN TRUTH.

LAGOS: THE INDEGINOUS PEOPLE OF LAGOS STATE ( Epe, Awori, Ikorodu, and Lagos Islanders are predominantly Muslims)
ITS STATUS AS THE MELTING POT OF ALL TRIBES AND FAITHS (mostly non-Yoruba southerners) SEEMS TO BE THE REASON YOU'RE CLAIMING A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY MEDAL FOR IT.

OYO: THIS STATE IS PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM NO DOUBT. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY MAJOR TOWN IN OYO (apart from Ogbomoso which appears evenly split between the two faiths) THAT HAS A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY.

KWARA: THE YORUBA-SPEAKING POPULATION OF KWARA IS ALSO PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM. EVEN THE IGBOMINA PEOPLE PUT TOGETHER, HAVE MORE MUSLIMS THAN CHRISTIANS

OSUN: OSUN CLEARLY ALSO HAS MORE MUSLIMS THAN CHRISRIANS NO DOUBT. THE ONLY TWO MAJOR TOWNS HERE WITH A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY ARE IFE AND ILESHA. THE ONLY TOWN IN WESTERN NIGERIA SAID TO HAVE EVER IMPLEMENTED THE SHARIAH LAW, "IWO" IS IN OSUN.

KOGI: THIS STATE IS NOT A YORUBA STATE BUT IT HAS PREDOMINANCE OF MUSLIMS, CONTRARY TO YOUR CLAIM.
THE THREE MAJOR TRIBES IN KOGI ARE IGALA, EBIRA AND OKUN, IN ORDER OF SIZE.
THE SMALLEST AMONG THE THREE IS THE OKUN, SOME OF WHOM IN FACT CLAIM NOT TO BE YORUBA.
THEY HAVE MORE CHRISTIANS THAN MUSLIMS THOUGH BUT ARE NOT A LARGE GROUP.

OGUN: THE THREE MAJOR GROUPS IN OGUN (according to dialect) ARE IJEBU, EGBA AND YEWA AND ALL ARE MORE MUSLIM THAN CHRISTIAN.
IN SPITE OF THE CONVERSIONS FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY SEEN IN THESE AREAS, THERE'S STILL A MUSLIM PREDOMINANCE.

EKITI AND ONDO: THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO STATES IN THE SOUTHWEST WITH A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY.
EKITI HOWEVER IS THE LEAST POPULATED AMONG THE SIX S/W STATES. IN FACT THE POPULATION OF OYO STATE IS ROUGHLY THE SAME AS THOSE OF EKITI AND ONDO PUT TOGETHER (check the 2016 population estimates of Nigeria), AND OYO IS PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM

NOTE: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YORUBA PEOPLE (mostly Muslims) WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE NORTH FOR GENERATIONS AND WHO READILY IDENTIFY AS YORUBA.

The Lagos political scene may be dominated by Muslims doesn’t make Lagos a predominantly Muslim state and what is the population of indegeniosu Yoruba lagosians they are minority in Lagos state and are less in number compared to Ekiti why do you think

Majority of Ogun is Muslim is the joke of the year why do you think Amosun is the first Muslim governor ever what Iwo is to Muslim is what Abeokuta is to Christain
It’s not a coincidence churches are headquartered in Ogun state and it’s called the GATEWAY state

As for oyo and osun our analysis are the same it’s fairly split however for the sake of argument let’s say oyo is Muslim majority it’s not an outright dominance like how Ogun is not an outright dominance

As for kogi state I was referring to the Yorubas there which who outright Christian majority

The Yorubas in the north are mostly from kogi and kwara so both Christians and Muslims are existence

The only state with outright Muslim population is Kwara and it’s not part of SW
but Kogi Ondo and Ekiti have at least 80% Christian population which no Yoruba state can boast of having such in terms of numbers of Muslims
