Thanks for the correction.Because Arabic language is one of official languages of the United Nations [b]therefore it should be imposed on the students if even it means doing so aganist their will?[/b]Tell me what kind of bilateral trade relations or economic benefits between Nigeria and Arab nations that necessitate the compulsory learning of it even if it is to ensure free flow of communication while trading?Is there no ulterior motive behind this sinister move?Everyone is free to learn whatever language he or she desires but must it be by imposition?Is Arabic language being brought in to contest the use of English language as our major official language or is it part of plans to advance religious intention?Simple logic should be able tell a discerning mind.

1. Your continued insistence on the false premise that Arabic Studies is imposed on students against their will is an outright lie. It has been fact-checked and found out to be untrue as with many other lies perpetrated by the proponents of this assertion
2. I cannot help you if you cannot google check what bilateral trade relations or economic benefits between Nigeria and Arab nations.......that question even sounds pedestrian to me
3. Is Arabic Studies Imposed? The answer is NO. but you choose to lay falsehood to argue a point.
4. Arabic Studies has been in the curriculum for over 30yrs. It is curious that nobody had ever complained over that period of time that Arabic Studies infringed on people's rights or to advance religious intentions. Nobody had problem with it when the new curriculum was introduced in 2012.......

Your points as with many others are just going in circles, regurgitating on false premise.

And how did you know this? Besides what does French teachers has to do with Arabic trachers,? The subject are optional for the students and you choose which pleases you. Also, werent CAN representative part of the meeting during GEJs regime?

Oh the ulterior motive of this thing is to Islamise Nigeria by GEJ. You lots need brains replacements

If you had ignored the urge to throw the insult hanging in ur throat at me, you'd have read and understood my post. [b]How can someone say we don't have enough French teachers in Nigeria, and that is why He is introducing Arabic? [/b]Is this not the kind of white lies you tell 3yr old children? We're surrounded by French countries with Nigerians emigrating to them in numbers, like it can't be possible to have scarcity of French teachers. If they said they introduced Arabic because of popular demand in the north or to learn more about their religion, it would even be more reasonable. See, I'm not even worried about religion like you are, I care more about the political implications of these things, boko haram is still raging. Keep insulting people.

In as much as you make your argument and that should be respected, what I find disingenuous is your attempt to muddle things up to buttress your supposed points

1. @ the bolded - It was the CAN president (Revd Dr. Supo Ayokunle) that made the ridiculous statement and not the Ministry of Education. Ridiculous as the statement sounds, Revd Ayokunle till date is yet to justify this assertion with data.

2. Arabic studies was introduced into the Nigerian curriculum over 30yrs ago and not of recent.

SAVEDBABA:
please explain to me how it is wrong.

Why don't you start by telling us IF you were forced to study Arabic in JSS 2

What is absolutely balderdash is the wrong impression that Arabic is "Affiliated" to Islamic religion. Yes, a variant of Arabic is the liturgical language of Islam and that is only logical because Arabic is the language spoken by the people in the country where Islam started. Beyond that limited view, Arabic predated Islam for starters and has its place in evolution, science and commerce.

Even the western world "borrowed" some concepts from other languages and Arabic inclusive. Insights from Arabic influenced many aspects of studies mathematics.........most importantly Arabic is one of the official Languages of the United Nations

brayan:
Funny to see how myopic your understanding of my argument is....we do not need Arabic studies as a country to move forward or meeting the challenges of the "new world"

......Yet the Brits sees it as strategic to prepare their children for the new world..... https://www.britishcouncil.org/education/schools/support-for-languages/arabic-language-culture-programme

......Yet Arabic is one of the official language of the United Nations

Your "Intelligensia" is from Mars shey?

Sapiosexuality:
Of course the removal claim was a gaffe. But the Arabic Language fears are legitimate. When some persons believe that a certain language is divine, it can never be wrong to question the inclusion of that language on secular places. I don't want to share so much here.

1. I believe this is a public enlightement platform, so share all that you have
2. The bolded is baseless. History and literature is replete with the origin, evolution and development of Arabic as a language. It's coming into Nigeria and use is also well documented. So when some people put postulations that are not backed up by credible evidence and such beggars logic, am I to believe such
3. Arabic is one of the official Languages of the United Nations.....hence its common-piece

imam07:
Please don't say what u don't know. It really happened in kwara state, where Bishop Oyedepo comes from. It should not surprise us because that is the same way students in quranic school are being treated. Beaten like animals but they should not try and extend that kind of punishment to our Christian students.
If that rubbish did not happen, do u think the men of God will come out to talk about it.

Oops!

So you only alibi that it happened is that "Men of God came out to talk about it"? No reference, no mention of the name of the school?

nneh1:
I went to a private school but wrote my waec in a govt school and yes I was dealt with for refusing a subject, infact because of refusing a subject I was made not to write the others in waec,. Thanks to God for neco.so guy stop arguing baseless.

For refusing Arabic Studies?

goodnews777:
ISLAMIC studies has not contributed to nothing but trouble. In all developed and industrialized countries it's a none starter. It's not in the curriculum in America, Canada EUROPE, Australia , Japan, China,India. Yet these are the most industrialised countries in the world.
On the other hand, it's a subject in Somalia, Sudan, Palestine, arabia, Egypt, Mali, Niger republic, guinea, Mali. Where are we heading? Who are we following. Why not follow nations that are successful rather than nations that are sinking. If it's paying, why is Buhari in London? Shouldn't he be in sokoto? This country is doomed because people are using religion to achieve their politically motivated aims.

Bros,

I suggest you fact-check things before you rush to make assertive and factually wrong statements

1. Arabic is a none starter? contributed nothing but trouble? where did you get that from? Fact says Arabic is one of the official languages of the United Nations
2. Arabic is taught in many UK schools, as one of the options of international language. The British Council has directed a committee on the formal introduction of Arabic into the curriculum in UK......

SaulRazor:
I am against it because modern christians have become to docile and this is allowing Islam to grow instead of dying like it should and allowing such weak and docile christian learn that Trojan language called Arabic will be tantamount to trying to get christian extinct..Just imagine a world with only Muslims it will be like hell I tell you

Bros,

......No wonder the quote attributed to Ghandi said....

" I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

Sapiosexuality:
Yeah. But I don't agree with the part that equates it to BH. I've known Nigeria so well that such response from CAN and members is not as silly as the equation suggests.

Bros,

I am a Christian and we must be sincere with ourselves. Boko Haram abhors Western education and orientation. CAN is trying to shut-down a middle eastern language because of claims of attachment to Islam. Are they not doing the same?

Additional questions are these

1. Why will CAN as an official body falsify facts? [That CRS was removed from the curriculum, The claim of "Arabic Islamic Studies, and the claim that Christians are forced to study Arabic]
2. Why did CAN lie that they were not consulted despite the fact that the same CAN sent TWO REPRESENTATIVES to the 2012 educational summit where the new curriculum was developed
3. Why is CAN not owning up to his mistakes and misunderstanding in this issue and letting the media make them look more like liars

In summary, Boko Haram is all about INTOLERANCE.........is this move by the Christian body not the same?

SAVEDBABA:
English nor French as you mentioned do not have any religous Affiliation, so dont try to associate them with Christianity Arabic on the other has religious affiliation,so thats the issue on ground and that is a concern to Nigerians especially Christian and by the way i did Arabic language in Jss 2 so i know.

1. Were you forced to study Arabic in JSS 2?
2. by the way, what you claimed "so I know" is actually wrong.

israelmao:
Arabic studies in whom benefit and for what?Some people can't just put two and two together logically.Why not other Nigerian languages?

Whose benefit? Those who choose to study it.

What if I tell you that Arabic is one of the official languages of the United Nations

Sapiosexuality:
He has a point. I wrote similar thing here: http://www.mortalpoet.com/christian-religious-studies-c-r-k-removed/

He has more than a point. He is speaking the ABSOLUTE TRUTH

brayan:
Those who introduced the new curriculum are just mischief makers....Arabic on its own is thought Informally in Arabic schools which most moslem students attend after receiving formal education so why do we really need it in the curriculum I totally support the boycott and the presidential aide needs psychiatric help comparing Arabic as a language and western education....who Arabic epp?

I believe it is you who need help (education on this)

1. Arabic studies has been in the school curriculum before you were born.
2. The new Curriculum was introduced in 2012 (GEJ's government) and implemented in 2014.
3. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the new curriculum. The curriculum is good, apt and more focusing on preparing studies for challenges of the new world. The problem I see is that we as people have chosen to follow albeit "gullibly", politician and nogooders profiteering from stirring discord

Bros,

I'm afraid you're wasting your time. These dead-beat folks are bent on perpetrating falsehood and knowingly refusing to stop.

TopHand:
Op you are a peddler of false information maybe it is ignorance maybe it is deliberate misinformation in order to ferment trouble only you can tell
please I impore all Nairalanders to disregard the OP and pay attention to the following statement by NERDC below

“The Management of NERDC hereby reiterates categorically that the subject offerings (Civic Education, Social Studies, Christian Religious Knowledge, Islamic Studies and Security Education) under the Religion and National Values Curriculum are distinct and taught separately on the time table.

“In this Curriculum, no child should be coerced or compelled to learn or be taught in school any religious studies not relating to the belief system professed by the child and his/her parents.

“CRK is still taught in schools; as a separate distinct subject with the accompanying Teachers’ Guide. There is no subject in the Nigerian School Curriculum called Islamic Arabic Studies nor anywhere in the world as being speculated.”

so I impore all Nlanders to reject the rumour mongering and false information floating around as a product of ignorant individuals who are either too lazy to investigate and get their facts right or maybe as mentioned before this it is a deliberate poly by these ignorant individuals to sow distrust and discord in the community

Nosikebit:
I dont think arabic is new in our curriculum, in my secondary school at f.g.c ogbomoso some students took arabic, and this is as far back as 1998- 2004

I was in F. G. C Ogbomoso in 1988/89 and Arabic was one of the subjects then.

I am wondering who you are, your importance or whatever you are, beyond your unimpressive and unintelligent image here for me to care about your perception on any matter. Your choice of "doro" whatever gives me an impression of both your age-range and maturity, so I can only advise you to stand aside in discussion beyond your comprehension....as this is obviously is

Hopefully you do not reason like the bigot you are because that is the only reason you talk like one.

Fashola cried to his people because Lagos-Ibadan expressway budget was slashed, despite the fact that there is a standing syndicated facility guaranteed by the budget for it. If the idiot of a bigot called Fashola cared so much for the 2nd Niger bridge, why did he overlook the budgetary provisions for it in 2016 and let the project lie dormant till date?

Your school fees was wasted, tell your parents to demand for a refund.

Fashola cried to his people? Gawd! How do you find it so seamless to be flawlessly daft? Ok let me attempt to help your seemingly irredemable plight

“That was the meeting we had with the Acting President and that was the reason why the budget was not signed on time. “We were ask to complete those abandoned projects; [b]the budget of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was reduced by the National Assembly from N31 billion to N10 billion. “We are owing the contractors about N15 billion and they have written to us that they are going to shut down. “Also, the budget of the 2nd Niger bridge was reduced from N15 billion to N10 billion and about N3 billion or so was removed from the Okene-Lokoja-Abuja road budget.’’ Fashola added: “Everybody is complaining about power supply but they also cut the budget for Manbila power project and the Bodo bridge that connects the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Station was also cut and all these were also discussed.[/b]

When you choose to use words like "bigot", "waste of school fees", not only should you look at your forehead with the help of a mirror, look at the shame you've brought to humanity with your daftness that deserves to be patented


Your attempt to shift your faux pas just leads you to more moronic statements. What syndicated facility is guaranteed in the budget for Lagos Ibadan expressway? 2nd Niger bridge dormant till date? Well who am I to try do force sense into your head when a simple use of google is rocket science to you

luvinhubby:

Why then did they cut the funds meant for 2nd Niger bridge if it is a critical project and not miscellaneous?

That was Fashola's excuse.

Did you choose to be sincerely daft and deluded or just plain ignorant? Is it when your brain is split open that you will comprehend?

A Fashola that cried to the world that your Senators/Reps slashed the budget of 2nd Niger Bridge inclusive of others is the one you interpreted to have removed it? Sometimes NL leaves you bewildered at the depth of some people's IQ...............

Thank you for the enlightenment. How does the IPPs get their gas?

There are gas vending companies(mini-retailers) (e.g. GasLink) who have networks of pipelines from what is called the city-gate (point where the bulk supplier brings if for off-take) running underground and connected to hospitals, factories and others (like Estates)

Another option is Trucking. Dedicated gas trucks run trips to-fro the City-Gate

Haba! MAPET this wonderful article that you wrote, why spoil it with Number 7? This your article needs to be published on Punch, Vanguard and Guardian. But remove number 7.

The truth is that Nigeria will never get out of this mess ahe is enmeshed in without appointing a highly experienced Electrical Engineer who has spent at least 2 decades of his life in Electrical Power development. Who equally has strong marketing talents.

You cannot make another profession who is not a medical doctor to be Minister of Health. Doctors will ground the ministry for you. Remember Yaradua who wanted Dora to be his Health Minister. If that is how Electrical Engineers in Nigeria about Power Ministry, electricity would have be in excess.

I am a Coren-certified Civil/Structural Engineer. However I was part of the FG project that built about 600 High-tension Towers (Pylons) from Geregu - Ajaokuta -Lokoja- Abaji - Gwagwalada - to Apo, Abuja. My work then was to verify that all the foundations being built by the Foreign Contractor was in accordance with what FG was paying for. There were 3 Booster Sub stations in Ajaokuta, Lokoja & Gwagwalada. I also supervised all their foundations.

During this project period, I discovered that if you don't put your foot down, the foreigners will dupe Nigeria blue and Black with support from some guys from the ministry and from Senate & Rep's. Many times we had oversite visits from them. Thank God for EFCC and BPP. The man heading BPP was Engr Emeka Eze. God bless that man. We are talking of very strong forces. But glory be to God the projects were completed successfully.
But you can see that all it would take to create constant electricity is to have a CORE Professional Electric Engineer heading the Power Ministry. Prof Barth Nnaji tried. He is a scientist not an Engineer. Scientists research to find what is existing. But Engineers create what is not existing.

Bros,

Trust me, I fully respect your profession as an Engineer and your valid input into the profession. Also if you checked my post you will have seen the way I framed it

....Such a ministry should be headed by someone with demonstrable leadership, business and regulation knowledge, acumen, skill and experience (be it an Engineer or not)

So the summary of my arguments are thus
1. There is a clear difference between LEADERSHIP and "MANAGER-SHIP". You ever wondered why many top executives who have put in many years into their career, are primed for the top, sent to places like Havard Business Schools or other top rated institution some with special focus on leadership development?
2. Secondly I addressed my argument specifically premised on having a full view of the value-chain. The power sector in Nigeria is heavily laden on the Business, Regulation and Customer Service side, which is largely underdeveloped and complicated. Engineering acumen plays a little in the midst the complexities in contracts, litigations, regulations and market development requirements.

3. We may need to reassess our paradigm and have a necessary shift. Who says a "non-doctor" cannot head the ministry of health? Forget about the politics, if Y'Ardua had made Dora the Minister of Health, it would indeed have been a bold yet progressive move (meanwhile, for personal reasons I am not so much a Dora fan, but I acknowledge her good works). If we assess our ministry of health over the years, headed by Doctors, can we sincerely say we had that basic to breath-taking Health in the country? I love the American model that clearly delineates the Management/Leadership lines from the Doctors lines in many of their hospitals, thereby Hospitals are run by administrators (having more of leadership/business capabilities), while the Doctors are left to specifically face the business of Healing. Even right here in Nigeria, the Pharmacists are questioning the rationale why only medical doctors should be the Managing Directors of hospitals. Check the best government run-hospitals in Nigeria, even when you discount govt's input, you will discover that wanton spate of ineptitude in management (hospitals run by doctors). Our doctors do not even (seemingly) understand the concept of bed-space management, patient turn-around-time etc hence you get to those hospitals by 5.00a.m. and may end up seeing Doctor at 5.00p.m.

4. Yes an Engineer will be ideal to head the ministry of power (just like any other quality professional) but he must have the requisite leadership qualities and exposure matched with breadth of business acumen

omohayek:

Blue3k: :
Great step in right direction for renewable energy. Anyway this incentives will morencourage options for schools and hospitals. Im guessing this would include non renewable energy aswell. These type of policies give incentives for greater electrification.

Anyway smart guys comment if you please Omohayek mapet deomelo.

Ps: I read through your arguements hopefully this helps you see his point. This regulation shows how his scenario would play out.

This is a good start, but 1MW isn't very much, and power generation is a business which really benefits from economies of scale. Mini-grids are better than everyone running their own generators, but they still won't be enough to get the power costs of Nigerian businesses low enough for them to become competitive with foreign firms, and domestic companies that are export-oriented are what we need the most.

By the way, I find it amusing to see statements by Barth Nnaji which reinforce what I've mentioned several times on Nairaland: that the problems with the power sector have nothing to do with a lack of engineering expertise, but with bad regulations that heavily discourage investment, tariff regulations that make cost recovery impossible, and a privatization scheme that sold assets to under-capitalized domestic operators instead of targeting international firms with deep pockets. I will also add that Buhari's stupid insistence on a fixed, artificial Naira/Dollar rate has made an already bad situation worse.

1. Sorry my good folks. These long public holiday was road trips and golf for me.......no internet not to talk of NL. I just got back to town yesterday............

2. My apologies also to Pesuzok, who I believe in retrospect, I might have been too hard in my reaction

3. Let me add some perspectives to @omohayek's submission. The biggest misconception many people make about the power sector is that they see it as bolts, nuts, wires and cables ecosystem. So you will not wonder too far when you hear stuffs like "The ministry of power should be headed by an Engineer" (pls hold this line of thinking aside for x-ray)

4. I believe we need to domesticate our solution for power. We cannot go full blow capital investments, when we cannot raise the capital either in equity, debt or mix of it to build for example a 10GW power. We should then allow the mini-Grid model to spring up in multiples. Who knows many of these mini-grids could be consolidated into mega-Grids in future

5. The grid system we currently run is not a good incentive for power investments. What the GEJ govt did not get was that power business is totally different from GSM business. Simply "privatizing" and waiting for "Dollar rain returns" is not the power model. Also the ability of some "brief-case investors" (a typical Emeka Offor's Coy) to raise the Licensing fee does not translate to their ability to run the business. That is why Discos have become a burden to the value chain, rejecting power sent by Gencos on the excuse that they can not distribute what they cannot afford to pay for. I am part of the Electricity sub-committee in my Estate. Ikeja Disco flatly told us they cannot afford to purchase card meters, and the work around we came to is that each individual will purchase the meters from a recommended Nigeria manufacturer, Ikeja Disco will now come to install it. We are even arguing that Ikeja Disco should substitute the cost of the meter (50k) for electricity credit and they are yet to get back to us on that. Pray tell, which Disco will vie for license and will not have accomodated the cost of card meters into their economics? Knowing fully well that card meters is central to their revenue drive. How would government have licensed such Discos without putting things like provisioning of meters as a precondition for not revoking the License?

6. Wrt Prof. Barth Nnaji's statement, he spoke from personal experience both as a minister and as a player. His GEJ's govt gave his company (Geometrics) license to generate and supply power to an axis. This was at that time a pilot to power programme model to stimulate mini-Gencos and Discos. The govt. under a later privatisation programme now offered Disco license to Emeka Offor's coy covering the same axis. That axis was grounded for 2yrs+ due to court cases. It was only when the current govt came in and the sanity and lawyers in Fashola and Osinbajo pursued an out-of-court settlement, else these case would have gone on for years, putting that axis on the back foot. I wonder why the previous govt did not see the impact of the mess that created.

7. From my argument in 2 above, the power sector is an ecosytem of Business, Regulation, Investments......and I dare argue that bolts, nuts, wires and cables are at the last mile. For those of you that argue for an Engineer to head the Ministry of Works and Power, you speak in ignorance. Such a ministry should be headed by someone with demonstrable leadership, business and regulation knowledge, acumen, skill and experience (be it an Engineer or not)

8. @Blue3K, suggestion for Incentives - We can copy and domesticate a model already practised in some European countries which drives their renewable energy aspirations and business. For example, people using Solar panels generate excess power, especailly during the sunny days, which in most cases are dissipated and wasted. After the inverter battery are full, a devices cuts off supply from the solar panels to the battery, to protect the battery from "over charging" and explosion. What is done is some countries is that a special divice is put int the solar panels such that, once batteries are fully charged, excess power that eitherto was dissipated are now reinjected back into the Grid. A device captures the volume reinjected back into the grid which is calculated as credit to the home owner. Such credit can be cashed, exchanged for power credit or tax breaks.

Pesuzok:
Why cant you simply answer the question on how hospitals can run off grid in Nigeria apart from using diesel engine powered generators.

Bros,

Ok let me keep it elementary

1. Imagine your generator, inverter or Solar panels at home, how they give you electricity when Disco fails to supply power?
2. Imagine that on a larger scale and made permanent
3. Off-grid simply means is not routed through the grip
4. A Gas-powered generators or mini-power plant can be installed in these hospitals and there are Companies that have run gas pipelines to industrial areas and homes. These companies supply Gas (e.g. GasLink - an Oando subsidiary) to these generators or mini-plants enabling it to have power uninterrupted. This model has been run by Nestle in Ilupeju and Agbara, Academy Press in Ilupeju for almost a decade
5. Lagos state government under Fashola did a pilot in conjunction with DFID to power schools, Hospitals and rural communities. This is what Osinbajo's office is replicating on a larger scale today. The thirty something year old woman (Engr. (Ms) Damilola Ogunbiyi)
6. Even if the hospital cannot afford to build power or solar-plant or wind-mill, there are private Gencos who will build power-plants and supply to customers.

I don't buy the islamisation talk but the argument CAN made was that students were to choose between French and Arabic studies, but since most schools lack French teachers, they would invariably be forced to offer Arabic studies.

Who told you that most schools lack French teachers? These are some of the questionable statement that came from CAN's president that one would have expected him to support with documented facts
