COVENANT UNIVERSITY CBT CENTRE DENIES CANDIDATES WEARING HIJAB FROM WRITING MOCK JAMB EXAMINATIONS

We at Hijab Rights Advocacy Initiative got a distress call this morning at 07:25 am from the father of a candidate Mr AA Olayode, that his daughter and several other candidates wearing Hijab were denied from entering Covenant University Ota, Ogun State, their CBT centre for the Mock Jamb examinations.

He stated that he tried to explain to the security guards that as a National Examination, candidates where posted there by the examination body and thus should be allowed to write their exams.

The security guards inisited that the University being a Christian University does not permit Hijabs in their premises and as such the candidates could not enter. Some candidates removed their Hijabs inorder to gain entry, while Maryam the daughter of Mr Olayode and two others who did not remove their Hijab were denied entry.

Hijab Rights Advocacy Initiative swung into action and contacted JAMB immediately. The Centre coordinator at Covenant University CBT centre was contacted and he joined the denied candidates at the gate and promptly let them in.

The exam started at 7 am and the candidates were let in at 7:48am. As at the time if this report, we are not clear if candidates could eventually write their CBT exams after being denied entry for about an hour or if they'll be given extra time to complete same, given that this is a computerized exam which is automated.

We at Hijab Rights Advocacy Initiative find it necessary to reiterate that the Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion is a fundamental right as guaranteed by the 1999 constitution as amended and the Hijab is a practical application of this right as ruled by the Supreme Court judgment of Asiyat Abdulkareem vs Lagos State Government.

It is important that institutions that do not wish to conform to the JAMB guidelines on conduct of National Examinations should refrain from applying to be CBT centres as they are remunerated for performing this service.
While we thank JAMB for acting promptly and avoiding a religious crises especially in this fragile period of our country, we ask that such erring centres be de-registered to and opportunity given to more deserving and law abiding ones.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Obviously English is the issue

elsewhere we have been debating the meaning of the word AND in the constitution

AND

. Is different from

TO

If you don't understand
Find a neighbour who understands English to explain
You have gone to great lengths to highlight your ignorance in red ink

The statement
To be Emir of Kano you must live in Kano and learn Hausa

Cannot reasonably be interpreted to mean you must learn Hausa in Kano
Compare with
To be Emir of Kano you must live in Kano to learn Hausa

Did I say you need to go to Mecca to learn Arabic?
I was talking about Hajj.
That is a scam that the people of Mecca were running even before Islam.
It is business
Why must you learn Arabic at all?
Why can't you worship.I. Your own language
A lot of people just memorize things they do not understand.
That is enslavement

0monnak0da:
The simple truth is that religion is used to enslave and govern.
The Hebrew story was appropriated and modified to European needs and became an official state religion for centuries before export to us
You can see the modification in our white garment churches. A successful religion convinces you to delete your cultural identity
No religion has been more successful in that regard than Islam persuading millions of Africans to Arabize themselves and delete their history and identity
The icing on that came is they must go to Mecca and learn Arabic otherwise God won't listen to them

It is necessary therefore to study the history of the Hebrew and Mecca people going back 4000 years.
If you do you would realise both Christianity and Islam are scams and no better than what our ancestors had the main difference being ownership. No need to venerate Mecca or Jerusalem
or cock.and bull stories like Manna from heaven
One good thing about the bible is when. It was written not only its writers were literate
There are surviving writing s from them that help provide a balanced perspective of what life was like in that era and they are still available
Imagine if in 1000 years the writing of Nnamdi Kanu are gathered into a "holy book " and people from a religion around that

0monnak0da:
The truth is that the people that came out of Egypt were not monotheistic
Yahweh was one of the deities of Canaan and the Israelites at various times worshipped various gods the emergence of One God was a way of achieving political control and the story of Yahweh changed with time from a blood thirsty,genocidal,misogynistic deity that killed the enemies of the Israelites to one who loves all humanity
Yahweh was a deity that never had any business with black Africans
