They should have closed the schools down?[/quote]

The request to barn Turkish schools was on front page. So I think this info deserves to be on front page too as a follow up to previous news.

Thanks lalasticlala, mynd44

FEDERAL Government yesterday said it would not honour the request by the Turkish government to shut 17 Turkish schools in Nigeria.

The Turkish envoy, Hakan Cakil, last week called for closure of the schools because of their affiliation to the Gulen movement, the group the government alleged masterminded the July 15, 2016, attempt to oust President Recep Tayyip Er­doan,.

Gulen movement is an Islamic transnational re­ligious and social move­ment, with Turkish Islamic theologian and preacher Fethullah Gulen as the leader. There had been a massive crack down on in­struments or organisations perceived to be affiliated to the movement.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu said the request would not be considered until the Turkish government provided concrete evi­dence through appropri­ate diplomatic channels, to back the charge, noting that “Nigeria, as a sover­eign state, has rules and regulations guiding its op­erations, either diplomatic and otherwise.

“This institutions (Turk­ish schools and other in­vestments) came to Nige­ria and indicated interest in investing in Nigerian education system. Condi­tions were presented to them and they apparently met the requirements, and were issued operational li­cence, and they have been operating in line with the specification of the licence they have.

“In that regard, it would be morally and legally un­fair to yield to the call of the Turkish government on mere allegations. We have no evidence against the Turkish schools and other investments in Ni­geria that would warrant that we take the action as requested by the govern­ment and close the schools or other investments. Un­til the Turkish government proves otherwise, they will continue to do their legiti­mate business here in Ni­geria.”

The Turkish ambassador during a visit by Shehu Sani, the vice chairman, Senate committee on For­eign Affairs, on Thursday, July 28, alleged that the schools have links with a movement his government believed was involved in the failed coup attempt in Turkey.

In a swift reaction, the authorities of the Turk­ish schools in a statement by its managing director, Orhan Kertin had faulted the government’s request describing its as “spuri­ous.”

Unfortunate

While there were significant numbers of people involved in the coup attempt, the very quick dismissal / arrest of so many people indicates that they were almost certainly already under surveillance and Erdogan was biding his time, waiting for the most opportune time to strike. As the coup failed, that gave him his impetus.

However, as the dismissals / arrests are heading towards 50,000, there's suspicion that Erdogan could take advantage of the opportunity by also arresting / dismissing potential credible political challengers who oppose him but were planning on doing so via the ballot box (and with no links to the coup attempt). Since Erdogan's already taken moves since before the coup to increase the powers of the Presidency and control the media, there's suspicion he could be moving towards turning the country into a semi-democracy - i.e. there are still opposition parties and free elections, but by ensuring no potential credible challengers to the Presidency and by controlling the media, can virtually ensure that only the party / leader currently in power can be in power (c.f. Russia).

At the moment, this is all speculation and supposition, but only time will tell if Erdogan is tempted to use the new powers afforded by the State of Emergency to further consolidate power to himself, or whether he will restrain himself and use them only to remove those looking to overthrow him via military means.



Anyway, Let the investments in Nigeria remain but be closely monitored.

A quote from the interview, " Today’s students are not looking for food; they are looking to get rich quick. It is as though they envy their oppressors more than they value their freedom. It is as though they envy their oppressors more than they value their freedom".
