leighcon: Don't be bias bro, Osun Oshogbo has public holiday too and he always support them even though he doesn't believe in their religion. The Hijra holiday has been in existence right from his first tenure. I don't just get all this hulabaluu. 12 Likes |

walemoney007:Left to me Easter and Christmas should be scrapped. Religion is a personal thing but we are institutionalizing it in Nigeria even more than those we learn it from. I am a christian but i know my bible did not say i must have an holiday to celebrate Jesus' birth or his death. I can celebrate him in my heart, in my room and it will be acceptable. i don't need an official holiday to do that. For hundreds of years the Europeans and Americans were way ahead of China. Just last week the world bank said China has overtaken America as the world largest economy. That is a nation that means business! They worked hard to catch up with America. Even in Nigeria haven't u seen the way the Chinese run their cottage companies here. We need to learn from them. That is the direction we youths should go, not promoting all these religious sentiments. You want subsidies on everything without working. You want half of the working year devoted to religious holidays,abi? With all the religious holidays we have in this country how come we are not progressing as fast as those other nations that don't care about religious holidays. Your politicians know what to use to preoccupy you - they allow u to go to church or mosque where u will be preoccupied with unseen things. That way u wont have the time and energy to question their misrule. Nigerian youths need to wake up!!! 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Yesterday, Saturday was actually the beginning of the new year in the Islamic calendar. Being a weekend, as it's with other public holidays, the first day of the working week, Monday will be observed as the holiday. |

barcanista: Bruv, this is how much GEJ and the PDP has divided Nigeria along lines that used to be irrelevant or at least toned-down. Would there have been any protest over this holiday, especially from folks who do not live in Osun and have nothing to do with the state like the first few respondents to this thread , in the days of Yar Adua and Obasanjo? Every single damn thing is now viewed by many Nigerians through ethnic and religious goggles. Yorubas say what the eyes is looking for it will find. Let some continue promoting hate, enmity and intolerance. We understand this was the case before the civil war. When we have another civil strife then all the hate-mongers should remember the part they played with their intolerant, extremely dangerous and bigoted drivel. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Zedric:There are already 3 Islamic celebrations with attached public holidays: Eid-el-Fitri, Eid-el-Maulud and Eid-el-Kabir, as against 2 Christian celebrations of Christmas and Easter. Why add more muslim holidays, thereby making it more skewed, esp when in a highly secular society? 3 Likes |
