School should be a place of learning and not a religious ground. We should keep all public funded schools secular. Parents who want their children to wear religious insignia to school should send them to schools run by whatever religion they subscribe to. Encouraging students to wear hijab or cassock to government funded schools will only bring crisis and confusion. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Racoon:amongst the biblical verses that enjoin hijab is 1 Corinthian 11:13-16. the Kwara State CAN of Chaos has been exhibiting some biblical verses that encourage bloodshed, bloodthirsty, anarchy and terrorism. Amongst the verses is � 1 Samuel 15:3 "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'" � Mathew 10:34 "think not that I have come to preach peace, I have not come to preach peace but SWORD" All sorts of terrorism start and end in Christianity |

doxijaw: You are a rape apologist and support any kind of sexual crimes because you think you are smart by trying to rationalize evil. You have it all wrong, and it is exactly your kind of thinking that rapists and sexual miscreants have. They have an excuse for everything, even when it makes no sense. You claim to be after logic and sense, but you lose all objectivity once you are presented with a real case with evidence. You will want to claim the evidence isn't enough. Why not work with the facts at hand and not what you've conjured? The man who was caught for masturbating in public, have you seen his medical report yet? The one who you said can prove he had an STD that made him do what he did? How many other men with STDs have done what he did? |

Tadeknkeepcalm:there's nothing like hatred, if you own a school or a principal, you'd understand that how students dress represents your school, that's why they're bothered when the uniform is dirty, when u don't button your shirt or sag your trouser, it is your own uniform, u bought it with your money doesn't mean u should wear it anyhow, besides I'm sure there's beret for students if they must cover their head, they're only using it as a red meat for religious bigotry according to farooq... 1 Like |

GboyegaD: Then that makes us animals if at this age and time we separate kids in school based on religion. When they get to universities, they will interact with people of other religious creed, so what’s the brain in separating them in secondary schools? I just hope both players come back to their senses and see that we must not fall for the division of religion coz it’s a cancer on its own. |

I am amazed how some people are easily hoodwinked. In these same "mission" schools, in fact all of them, there are Muslim female teachers and non-teaching staff who wear hijab to work and have been doing so for years. Now, the kwara state govt has come up with new set of school uniforms with one design incorporating headscarf. CAN that has raised no eyebrows about teachers and other staff wearing hijab to work in these schools is now all over the place inciting violence over students wearing the school uniform incorporating the headscarf. If jesus who they claim to follow were to materialise today, would he violently stop any student from using the school uniform with headscarf? See how hypocrites have bastardised the message of jesus! Btw, why the obsession with headscarf by CAN - is it against Christianity to use it? Hypocrites, certainly not, because every depiction of Virgin Mary by Christians shows her wearing what muslims call hijab. Since CAN, at least the hypocrites in Kwara, hate headscarf, they should stop nuns from wearing it. Are the hypocrites at war with the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:6 is so explicit: "For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head." There's no controversy whatsoever: God says in both Bible and Quran that women should cover their hair. Hallelujah, may Allah guide us all to righteousness. 1 Like |

Nigerian Christians are really sets of brainwashed individuals who continue to drown in Naked, mad, selfish and unreasonable western culture. I am sure that about 50% of Nigeria Christians believe Jesus was a British or American native and that's one of the reason for all this sort of hatred and mad compliments of islam. Even when it's obvious that America turned peaceful country like iraq, pallestine, libya and other to war zone for economic and political reasons, Nigeria Christians will always justify the real terrorists" Americans". I laugh when I see Nigerian Christians wailing and making sentimental judgement on Islam. if Muslims are real terrorists what would you say about your missionary demi gods and their governments for slave trade, colonialism, hard labour and abuse of our race. What's the place of racial discrimination, slave trade and hard labour in Bible and that's what best describe the white folks that brought the so call Christianity you all designing to be peaceful in your cockroach mind. I am sure majority of Christian who alwsys run their mouth against anything islam are Igbo people who doesn't even know anything about the situation or the nature of the state, the people involves. It is senseless for anyone to attach violence to islam.If you want to criticize Hausa people or Fulanis, criticize base on ethnic interest and their political superiority which is too late for any other region to withdraw. It's not only the Hausa or Fulanis that are Muslims in Nigeria, before your church weeds makes you generalized on sensitive religion issues, you guys needs to always remember there are Yoruba Muslims, Igala Muslims and other tribes aside from Hausas and Fulanis. And also try to be reasonable because for an igbo man from Enugu or Anambra to be putting mouth on issues that's happening in Kwara state with over 85% Muslim population is madness. 1 Like |

seunmsg: Brother I have a contrary opinion. It’s absurd and unYoruba for us to start treating hijab as cancer to the society. I don’t know where this came out from because it’s not like this in the past. I have friends including myself that attend Anglican schools and my Muslim female classmate were not denied from using hijabs and I don’t think Christians take offense with it during those time. I think we got it wrong during the transition between Jonathan/Buhari when political parties pushed the Islamization rhetorics by CAN and the obvious nepotism of Buhari where he favored Muslims in his government. This somehow shape opinion of regular minded Christians who now think there is a need to defend their religion against Islamization. What they used to ignore before now start disturbing them and the once peaceful environment is now corrupted with rubbish religious antics. Ask yourself, what will the Christian lose if a girl is on Hijab to a school financed by the state government? Haven’t we been seeing people with hijab around and living with them for ages? Why now? If we start drilling further about religion, then the Muslim man can also question why we pray to God on the assembly ground instead of Allah. Isn’t that how it has been for ages? Can the Christians allow their kid to pray to Allah daily and sing from what is obvious the Christian song of praise daily? If you separate Christian from Muslims in secondary schools, will you also separate them in the universities? 1 Like |

The funny part is that Muslims on Nairaland, kept quiet when Hisban was going around to people's shops in kano, seizing and destroying their crates of beer. Nobody talked about Human Rights, and right to live and lets live. i don't know how someone drinking and selling beer affects them. But now they are asking how hijab affects us as christians. I have read many write up where Muslims claim that christians hate the hijab. We don't hate the hijab. Have you ever heard that a christian remove the hijab of a lady on the road, or in their houses? No. What the christian is saying is don't wear it, where it is not allowed. If the school doesn't allow the hijab, you can wear it to the school gate, remove it and put it on after school. What is the big deal? I leave down south, I am yet to see a muslim female military or police officer in hijab, I am yet to see a muslim female banker in hijab, but nobody is saying anything about that. It is the Christian school that is of utmost importance them. Pls stop the hypocrisy. Let us understand and respect each other. 3 Likes |

We all know the truth but some people allow their bigotry to becloud their sense of reasoning. Truth is that missionaries and our colonial masters jointly came to christianize Nigeria, they did build schools to convert Nigerians to Christians. And that could be proven in their forcing Muslims to change their names before they could be admitted into the schools. Not only that, they forced them to practise Christianity as against their wills. That was the reason why many Muslim parents of those days refused to send their children to schools. During those years of colonial administration, there was little or no difference between the government and colonial masters, they were all British. Public fund were used to build schools in the name of missionaries. Numbers of Muslims were lost to Christianity. For years, Christians enjoyed monopoly of power. Now, Muslims are gaining consciousness of their rights. They know that according to the country's constitution, you cannot be forced to practice religion that is not yours. And public properties is not for a particular religion. Their request to practise their faith is now being rebuffed by the deluded 'tolerant' bigots. And these bigots are crying that "they want to islamize Nigeria". How? By fighting for one's fundamental rights? After that you have christianize everything Live and let others live. Life is not anyway difficult. 2 Likes |

Even in developed countries like the UK, US and Canada where most of the missionaries that built the so called Missionary schools hailed from, they nowadays permit the usage of religious attires in their public organizations like usage of turban by Sikh police officer, hijab usage by female students, Canadian RCMP even allowed bearded Sikh and Muslim police officers lately just to prove the world have changed and we need to be tolerant of one another. However, Nigeria Christians with their hypocrisy will always prove to know Christianity more than Christ, our wards fight over who should and who shouldn't use hijab in secondary schools when their mates elsewhere are busy inventing technologies that are changing the world positively. IT'S FOOLISH HOW WE ALLOW RELIGION TO DESTROY US THIS MUCH. |

Tadeknkeepcalm: The truth is that the schools are founded in religious premises. Christian schools don't promote Christian dressing. For instance, the Beret isn't a Christian assortment. It is a formal outfit. However, Hijab is Islamic and not formal in any sense of the word. Why would you want to enforce your Islamic mode of dressing in a Christian environment, when the Christians there are not promoting Christian dressing? |

In my community we have two Muslim secondary schools and one Primary School, they have been taken over by government in the 70's, one of the school name was totally change to a community name while the other name was retained after pleading with government but 100% government school and nobody is forcing anybody to wear hijab. The senior boy & girl were Christians during my set, people were beret cap if they like or none. Just of recent my state government approach my primary school requesting to rebuild a model school there but the request was turned down been the only primary school with muslim name in the community but one missionary school(100% government funded) accepted the request and new school were erected there with new name(Model School). The ownership is not an issue in this case. It's purely a government school. Muslim started building their own schools in reaction to what missionaries did cos you have to change your name to Christian name b4 you can be allowed to attend school and some Muslim refused to send their children to school because of fear of been converted. After colonial master left most of these schools can't be efficiently run by the Christian nd Muslim owners couple with the fact that it's an avenue for division and government had to take over them. If CAN want the school back they can approach court and lobby government not pitting kids against each others.The issue of hijab has been settled by court. No muslim will send their kids to a private Christian shool to go nd be wearing hijab by force. While everybody is clamouring for division, when we eventually divided into North and South we will also divide into Muslim and Christian in our respective states. Yeye people 1 Like |

GboyegaD: What is a missionary and no missionary school? Are they teaching theology in those schools or conventional educational syllabus? They are not forcing hijabs on schools, they are telling the schools to respect the right of a Muslim girl to wear his hijab. It’s just a cloth they put to cover their head, why the hatred? There are some things that are just and fair. If we fall for the antics of separating them and telling them to go to other schools then I can tell you more church and mosque will build schools and we will drift apart because each group will want to separate one for another. There will always be fabrics of division. We can only conquer it if we let common sense prevail. Below is USA, an overwhelming Christian majority country.

What most people don't understand is that there was T&C in handling over the so called schools to the government. The term which says the school could be revoked back if the government goes against the legacy of the founders. Besides, what do you think will happen to those churches inside the school's compounds? If federal government do not want this problem to spread to other states, it is better they quickly get involved. Most of our well known great leaders attended this mission schools. I wonder why this issue of hidjab now causing problem. If the government cannot solve this issue amicably let them return the mission schools back to the owners. I tell you by the time hidjab wearer win this battle, they will progress to private schools. FG sorosoke! |
