Elechi has no intention to Islamize Ebonyi -Commissioner
From Goddy Osuji Abakaliki
Thursday, December 08, 2011
Governor Martin Elechi of Ebonyi State has denied the allegation that he intends to Islamize the state through the establishment of an Almajiri School in Afikpo.
Elechi was accused by the Anglican Bishop of Afikpo, Rt. Rev. Paul Udogu of planning to Islamize the state by establishing an Almajiri school at Afikpo which would put the state in great danger of breeding Boko Haram and the likes of Osama Bin Laden.
The Governor through his Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Mr. Chike Onwe while briefing journalists in Abakaliki regretted that such a misconception of intention of the state to establish an Almajiri school for Moslem children who live at the Centre for Islamic studies at Enohia Itim Afikpo local government area that has been in existence, could be misconstrued by the Bishop.
Onwe in his explanation stated, “The state government like all modern governments in 21st century believes in freedom of worship. This principle of secularity in governance is in tandem with Nigeria’s philosophy of religious diversity, where Christians, Moslems and Traditional worshippers are at liberty to practice their religious intolerance and hate.”
He recalled the promise he has made to the Moslem community in the state, when they paid him a Sallah homage at the last Eid-el Fitri celebrations, to assist the Arabic centre to build an Almajiri school should not be misinterpreted or politicized unnecessarily the way the Anglican Bishop would want to do. He added: “The government has been offering assistance to Christian churches in the state in response to reasonable appeals made towards the execution of important projects, as such, the promise to assist the Moslems was certainly not an outlandish commitment.”
The commissioner described the allegation the Bishop made about dilapidated public schools in the state and the falling standard of education as a campaign of calumny against the state government, using the religious argument as a subterfuge to launch his full scale destructive criticism.“For the avoidance of doubt, the state government since 2008 has set up 30 pilot boarding schools to promote qualitative education at the secondary school level”, Onwe further explained.
talk2comrado: From your context, are you insinuating that during the last endsars protest that was hijacked, that the Protestant did not act disciplined and hence it was hijacked? See if they want to discredit you they can do so with any means available.... It is what it is... They can even cook up a story and frame you up, what happened to igboho. He might not be released up until or after 2023 election, like wise Nnamdi KANU
And that is how is supposed to be, any Nigerian that didn't want peace in the country should jeje leave it for us the peaceful once, Whether he is a Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo and if it's in another clime they will be imprisonment for live.
This Report must have been twisted, but he said so, may Allah in his infinite mercy join him and his family with them, kill some and collect huge amount of money as ransom for the remaining once.
Demigod22: The video is actually funny. But on a serious note, the dreadlocks have nothing to do with the guy's character. We Africans tend to attach importance to things that are not necessary.
Hangmnk: Our dads and mums don't do love peddling we don't have brothels, baby mamas, Beer parlours. The most morally upright and good law abiding citizens in the world. U can't say this for your own community

theenchanter: I read it and there was no mention of Nigerian Army shooting at students...... I even clicked the link in order to convince myself that the OP skipped that part, but no mention of Nigerian Army.
Nigerian media will kill Nigeria before ethnicity and religion.
I blame nairaland mods sha.
Nairaland is becoming more and more of Ipobs than for Nigerians
Ade3131: I finally found someone who's reading the intrinsic meaning of those submissions by MACBAN.
The guy just admitted that their people are behind all the killings but DSS does not work in the North. They only work in southern Nigeria where they'll extort their victims. Shame!
Politicians are so Cunning, While he is playing politics with the lives of his people that voted him into power, oboy many things will comes to light after this Man's Machiavellian styles of leadership.
