Lagos state bans hijab in public schools

By Feyi Afisunlu on May 15, 2013


The Lagos State Government on Tuesday insisted that the usage of other appendages, including Hijab, a head scarf for female Muslim pupils will not be allowed in the state public schools.

The State Government maintained that pupils in its public schools would only be allowed to wear conventional uniforms to school.

State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, disclosed this at the ongoing ministerial briefing to commemorate the sixth anniversary of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s administration.



She said, “I summoned a stakeholder’s meeting that was chaired by the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture, Alhaji Oyinlomo Danmole. The Muslim students were represented at the meeting, Lawyers were represented. We discussed the issue at length and we reached certain agreement.

“We agreed that students could only use their Hijab when they want to go for prayers, when they want to read Qur’an, and when they are going for Jumat prayer on Fridays.

“It was agreed that no student should wear Hijab on her uniform. Doing so, will cause confusion and break down of the law.

“Whoever wishes that his daughter should be wearing Hijab while going to school and within the school should send such child to a private Muslim school,” Oladunjoye emphasised.

She noted that the knotty issue which had been on since she assumed office required urgent solution which had resulted to the latest decision.

Posted by: foluso


A heavy cloak of mourning falls on the nation once more today as news of Governor Sullivan Chime’s death filters in.

A reliable source who confirmed his death to codewit.com said he gave up the ghost an hour ago in India. (9pm Nigerian Time)
His Excellency, the late Governor Sullivan Chime had battled an undisclosed illness for months. When citizens began questioning his prolonged absence from Enugu, the official story was that he was on a long vacation accrued over a period of 5 years.
Meanwhile, the latest information reaching us was that The PUNCH’s Enugu State correspondent, Ozioma Ubabukoh, was harassed by seven men who claimed to be security agents in front of his apartment in Enugu around 11.45pm on Saturday after the news was first reported.


The men seized Ubabukoh’s phone and his laptop in order to stop him from sending stories to the head office.
As at press time, the men were still in Ubabukoh’s apartment and insisted that they were not leaving until 3am.
Efforts to get across to some commissioners in the state were not successful as their phones were switched off.

Yes, I am Boko Haram – Immigration officer confesses, names other security personnel in Islamic sect
Posted by Y! Features Editor
by Stanley Azuakola


JTF spokesman, Sagir Musa

Nigerians have consistently maintained that the dreaded sect Boko Haram must surely have sympathisers in government and security agencies, considering how effective their attacks have been. Finally, there is proof.

A high profile Boko Haram member, who is an officer of Nigeria’s Immigration Services, Ahmed Grema Mohammed, has named some security personnel among those carrying out terrorist attacks in the country. His confession came after he was arrested by the men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Mohammed, who is an officer of the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) attached to the Nangere office of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Yobe State, was apprehended at a checkpoint on the Maiduguri-Damaturu road while on his way to kill a former special adviser to the immediate past governor of the state.

Most of the personnel named by Mohammed have been arrested, while security agencies are on the trail of others.

The news of Mohammed’s arrest was contained in a JTF statement signed by the task force spokesman, Lt. Col Sagir Musa.

According to the statement, Mohammed had been on the wanted lists in the country and was arrested on August 17, this year for impersonating a lieutenant in the Nigerian Army.

“Mohammed confessed to be actively involved in the killings of some senior civil servants, security agents, and politicians in Damaturu who spoke against the activities of Boko Haram, particularly the former chairman of Damboa Council, Alhaji Lawal Kawu.

“He also took part in the attack on the old Police Headquarters in Damaturu, where some policemen were killed and large quantity of arms and ammunition carted away.

“In addition, he was among the terrorists that attacked Damaturu Prison, burnt some primary schools, the State CID office and the Police Safety Vehicle, among others.

“The suspect revealed to JTF that he and 15 other members of the organization were intensively trained for three months on G3 and AK 47 rifles, as well as in assassinations and special operations in Niger Republic.

“He also revealed names of some security personnel that participated in terrorists’ attacks in Borno and Yobe states.”

Recently, the Joint Task Force has recorded a string of successes against Boko Haram, including the killing of the sect’s spokesman, Abu Qaqa.

Whoever shields and harbors a terrorist believes in what the terrorist is doing. No one should be surprised if he takes up arms and joins d terrorist in dia course.

That being said, when things like this are gonna happen, collateral damages are bound to occur.

But just like me, no one deserves to be a collateral damage! We have a duty to start protecting our community interest right from beginning.

Report the badAss to dem JTF!

" Musa na two of you"

Hahahahaa

Goalllllllllllllll

Oboy! Did anyone see that guy's celebration?

Out of this world!

Nigeria’s uphill battle to spread the country’s wealth

By Samuel Burke & Claire Calzonetti

Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria, is full of promise. But fulfilling that promise is often a struggle.

Plagued by corruption and mismanagement, the resource-rich country has a poverty rate of over 50%.

Maternal mortality is shockingly high and more than half of Nigerians don’t have access to electricity, according to the World Bank.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the country’s finance minister and the former World Bank official has been lauded as the reformer Nigeria needs.

But she too isn’t immune from Nigeria’s problems – her own mother was kidnapped for a terrifying five days before being released.

President Goodluck Jonathan promised to address corruption in the country. Nevertheless, a former governor – an ally of Jonathan – has been convicted of embezzling million in public funds and has since been pardoned.

“Nigeria does have a problem with corruption and so do many other countries,” Okonjo-Iweala told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an interview that aired Tuesday. “I don’t like the fact that when people mention the name Nigeria the next thing they mention is corruption.” 

Technology could be the answer the problem, Okonjo-Iweala believes.

“We must build electronic platforms. We must distance people from the money. These things were recommended by the world bank and IMF,” she told Amanpour. “We are doing them.”

President Jonathan is calling for the judiciary, the legislative and the executive arm to meet together about this issue all together for the time first Okonjo-Iweala said.

“Because even if you catch somebody, if they go to courts and they are let off lightly the president can’t do anything about that. The judicial system also has to be strengthened,” she said.

“This is a country of 170 million people; 99.9 percent of them are honest, hard-working citizens who just want to get on with their lives,” Okonjo-Iweala said, proudly. “And they want a government that delivers for them.”

Oil should be Nigeria’s saving grace, but oil leakage causes a significant drain on the economy.

“We are still a poor country,” she admitted. “We can’t afford any leakage.”

On tap of that, there is immense oil theft, which Okonjo-Iweala puts at 150,000 barrels stolen a day. She compared the situation to Mexico, which sees tens of thousands of barrels stolen each day.

“We need them to treat this oil like stolen diamonds. The blood diamonds,” she said – calling on the international community for assistance. “Make it blood oil. Help us so those people don’t have a market to sell this stuff.”

Nigeria is also plagued by problems with its electrical grid.

When the country’s president last appeared on CNN, he told Amanpour, “That is one area that Nigerians are quite pleased with the government, that’s a commitment to improve power. It’s working. So if you are saying something different, I’m really surprised.”

That interview caused an uproar in Nigeria, with many of the county’s very active social media citizens taking to Twitter and Facebook to voice their frustrations with the power grid and President Jonathan’s comments.

Okonjo-Iweala said the power problems all come down to previous government’s lack of investment.

“If you’ve neglected a sector for that long, you’ve not invested, you’ve not even maintained your basic facilities, it’s not going to happen that fast. It takes time,” she said.

While Nigerians often complain of power outages – telling CNN they often have to use generators to watch the news channel –  Okonjo-Iweala maintained there has been improvement.

“That month, when you interviewed the president,” she said, referring to Amanpour’s previous interview of Jonathan, “the polls showed, independently, scientifically that they are in technical partnership with dialogue. That 54 percent of Nigerians felt there was some improvement,” she told Amanpour.

“Nigeria is not the only country. Almost every developing country has a problem with power, as you know. India has it. South Africa has it. South Africa is far better off because they’ve invested much more.
But many developing countries, even China, they are struggling with keeping up with infrastructure,” she said.

Okonjo-Iweala said that the administration has accepted that the government is not the best place to run the power sector.

“If we want this country and this economy to do better, we just have to get out. And Nigeria is pursuing one of the most sweeping privatization programs in any country in the world,” she said. “We are selling off everything.”

That said, the lights even went out on President Jonathan during a speech he gave a speech in front of cameras just this past Easter day.

cheddarking: Did Maggie write the report? Abi was she the Referee at the match?

How is hillsborough her fault?

Guy do you have brain at all? Or do you read through your a$s? Where did I say she caused Hilsborough disaster?

I said she conspired with Police in d cover-up of the truth and pushed the blames to Liverpool fans.

Pls read with ur head not with ur dirty axx.

Every Liverpool fan here wudnt in a hurry forget that Maggie super headed the greatest cover-up in football history, in the Hilsborough disaster, which claimed 96 Liverpool fans. This happened on 15 April. 1989.

That woman can never be popular in Merseyside, everybody in Liverpool hates her.

For her to conspire with the Police in 1989 and push to d blames of the Hilsborough disaster on Liverpool fans, that woman is WICKED! The useless report said the Liverpool fans who died in dt event "were drunk" Jesus!

So even Steven Gerrard's cousin... JON-PAUL...who died in dt event at the age of 10 was drunk?
Thatcher is WICKED!

On september 12 2012, in a match between Liverpool and sunderland, Liverpool fans were chanting "when Maggie dies, we'll party"

Believe me, nobody in Merseyside has regard for her!


I remain an Anfied faithful....JFT96

Yet some monsters still call "the oga at d top" a clueless dude.

The last thing Amaechi gang will do is to go to supreme court, Odili's wife and Co are waiting for him.

If he (amaechi) hasn't seen a sinking ship bfo, this is d best opportunity to witness one.

The oga at the top started by initiating a "PDP Govs forum" with another commandant as d overseer. Thereby rendering Amaechi's position as d NGF boss effectively and technically useless.

The same oga at the top has removed the state pdp xcoz loyal to amaechi thereby making his opinions in d state party affairs baselez.

Amaechi watchout, the next line of this cold war is to grab the allegiance of all the state assembly men. When that happens, Ibori and Timipre will tell u......... "Shebi we warned you"

While granting an interview yesterday, Chris Brown revealed he had infused the Ghanaian dance move into his latest video and attributed its origination to Nigeria. He also recalled meeting Nigerian pop singer Wizkid who taught him the dance move.

Understandably, Ghanians are unhappy about CB’s wrong assumption on the origin of Azonto, with one blog ‘Ghana Celebrities’ posting in an article ‘WTF: Chris Brown Talks About AZONTO On BET, But He Says The Dance Is A Nigerian Thing…‘.

See how the site reported it “It seems Chris Brown coming to Ghana and introducing Nigerian artiste-Wizkid on stage to do Azonto was not a mere mistake. In fact, Chris Brown thinks Azonto is a Nigerian thing…

Probably he is taking the piss out of Ghanaians by failing to credit Ghana with the dance which has gained international recognition…

Talking about his new album ‘X’ and music video ‘Fine China’ on BET 106 & Park yesterday, Chris Brown mentioned that he has incorporated a dance from Africa called Azonto into his dance moves in the video. He even went ahead to request for a tune to be played, so he can demonstrateAzonto to the millions of viewers.

Unfortunately, he linked Nigerians Wizkid to the dance, saying he learnt it from him-that is not so bad. But he categorically added that, Azonto is a Nigerian thing…REALLY?

This is like me going on CNN to say EBA is a Ghanaian food…

Is Chris Brown taking the piss out of Ghana or is it that he does not know the truth about Azonto?

If you are reading this post and you are on twitter, tweet @ChrisBrown  and say; For the last time, Azonto is a Ghana dance, get it straight man…”
Lol!

"Who ever the gods wanna kill, they............"

The northern fucktards called arewa should have put this shi:t of BH in order, instead they are busy seeking amnesty.

Their population is reduced on daily and they don't wanna do anytin about it. By 2015 when the population of their eligible voters might have been reduced by probably 15%, lemme see how they wanna get the votes.

We are watching.......always praying for the JTF!!

frosbel: With time my friend, I have no power to save a soul, it is God's grace, but I can help soften the ground and expose the subtle deception of paganism hiding under a thin veneer of Christianity.

I am a testimony among many thousands who have left babylon .

Proudly Ex-catholic.

"Proudly Ex-cstholic?
Damnit!! The other day, you said u were a Chosen.

Believe me bro, where eva u are now will definitely not be ur last denomination.

Me think its called "Being confused"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Chukwudi abeg free me.

Those who use unlimited media platforms have not been able to take a cup out of the ocean of the Catholic church. Let alone someone whose time at the cyber-cafe could end bfo he writes his last sentence.

I can't wait for his Easter prayers and greetings in more than 100 languages.

The last time Pope Benedict prayed for our country Nigeria during easter, he prayed against the killings in d North....especially the Christmas day bombing in Madalla. After which he prayed for Syria, Somalia and Iran!

Hey guys!

I think these days the english songs have taken over praise and worship in our different churches.

So I was wondering if anyone cud still remember any easter song in his mother tongue.

Yes I can still sing one in Ibo language:

"Christi bilitere n'onwu,
Onyenweanyi bilitere n'onwu.
Halelluyah! Halelluyah!!
Onwu enweghi ike(power) n'ebe odi"

"Christ rose from death,
Our Lord rose from death.
Halelluyah! Halelluyah!!
Death has no power over him"

Let's hear yours please.....Happy easter!!!

frosbel: The Trinity is a PAGAN catholic doctrine that she has passed on to her many harlot daughters.

"babylon the great

the mother of prostitutes

and of the abominations of the earth." - Revelation 17:5


Jesus is the SON of GOD and GOD is GOD.

Like the great Chinua Achebe wud say; " If u don't like my book, write urs"

The holy Father has done what the church thinks and believes is right, if u or any body doesn't like it, do urs!!

I think this is one of the adverse effects of unemployment in d country. ....you have replied virtually all d comments in this thread. Hahahahaha

Kingslaw: Humility.
But,hope he won't stop it after some years?

It might not be of this nature again (washing of prisoners' feet)

But am very sure this is just the beginning of his humble reign.
