Good decision to ban all sorts of prayers in public and private schools. They are highly unnecessary and at best are mere distractions. Anybody that feels prayer is important should pray at home before coming to school.

On the other hand, am not in support of the decision that all teachers must be in suit during office hours. We should be promoting our cultural attire and not foreign ones. Cross river is the headquarters of culture and tourism in Nigeria and teachers and public servants there should be encouraged to put on attires that reflect the culture of the people.

Darkness and light has nothing in common, Ben A. Go tell your dark kingdom that God's power supersede over them.

Rubbish move. Is Ben Ayade an occultist? What has prayers offered by pulpils and students in schools got to do with effective administration of the state?

godjb:

Last time a commissioner to be suggested school children drawing criminals instead of geometric figures, today a likely occultic governor is trying to put a hold on prayer in the schools.
Anyway, Both prayer and national anthem should be stopped at school. But introduce a positive mantra or incantations to be chanted by the students every morning

Not everyone is a Christian remember so the Governor is trying to include the right of all in his administration.

WailingWailer00:

I disagree with you on this one
The school should be strictly made for academic purposes, no wonder the Nigerian education system is in shambles

tete7000:


Mr, if you are not a Christian, don't enrol in a christian school. Simple as that. The governor action cannot stand. Nigeria is not at that level yet. Let people ask their belief group to form schools they can send their children to. You don't come to a mission school knowing all the rules and then you say you can't obey the rules because you don't believe in them. Simply move out of the school and look for where your belief system is accommodated. The governor's mind and thinking must be warped to include private schools. Who stops atheists and traditional worshippers and muslims from having their own schools? This hypocrisy has to stop. Rubbish governor with rubbish idea.

who mean religious study should be removed from school curriculum?

The directive which was sent to all zonal heads in
the state said, “the ministry hereby directs all
public and private primary and secondary schools
across the state to suspend all assemblies
(morning and afternoon) till further notice.”

Your ignorance is pathetic.
ISRAEL IS VERY RELIGIOUS AND STATE RELIGION IS JUDAISM AND IS AMONG THE RICHEST AND MOST POWERFUL NATIONS ON EARTH TODAY.
SAUDI ARABIA IS VERY RELIGIOUS AND IS A WEALTHY NATION.
IRAN IS VERY RELIGIOUS AND VERY WEALTHY.
Israel is also the only country in the world where a majority of citizens are Jewish

A Gallup survey in 2015 determined that[b] 65 percent of Israelis say they are either "not religious" or "convinced atheists"[/b], while 30 percent say they are "religious". Israel is in the middle of the international religiosity scale, between Thailand, the world's most religious country, and China, the least religious.[8]

this only happened in Babylon,no fundamental human right

WailingWailer00:

No, it should be taught during its period
I believe everything has it's time and place

I'm a Christian, I saw some Civil defense officers praying in their office during work hours, if I was in a position to sack them, I would dismiss them all and employ capable hands

Religion has ruined Nigeria

mrvitalis:
This is a very wonderful news..... Stop making this kids believe that u can pray ur way out of poverty.

justdivine:
When u were contesting u love prayer now u want to suspend prayer. God will locate U.

tete7000:


If it is assembly and not prayers fine. Prayers and instructions can be taken at classroom level. It is however unacceptable that prayers stop in our schools.

cornoil:
Ok. All these occultist guys ruling Nigeria

iamord:

Okay let's give chance for fundamental human rights.

Christians must be allowed to pray in schools

Muslims must be allowed to pray in the schools

Traditional worshippers must be allowed to commune with their gods in schools.

And the rest from the Asian religions to wicca. All of them must be allowed and giving the space to perform there religious duties and obligations.

Any attempt to resist any of the above fractions. On the count that they were performing their religious obligations. Would be punishable by the law

How about that?
