You see your life again! Iranians are not Arabs, stop disgracing yourself!

LOL, they claim education yet so many of them are shamefully ignorant.

EazyMoh:
Please provide proof so we can call the modes.
FFK, Reno and the rest of the Nigerian Islamophobes gang intentionally and mischievously added Islamic in front of Arabic Language just to cause mischief and further aggravate the hate and mistrust between Christians and Muslims.
You don't see anybody calling English language Christian English Studies Ridiculous right? Well that how it sounds when you try to label Arabic as only being Islamic.
I blame the Ministry of Education, Information and the presidency for not doing enough at least to try and dispel misinformation and hold those peddling wrong information accountable.
Also the ridiculous myth that there are more Arabic teachers than French teachers is outright lie!
How many government schools in Southern Nigeria have Arabic teacher? not to talk of Islamic Studies teacher.
I think it's high time this country is divided, enough with the blackmail of the north, Islam and Hausa/Fulani.
#KadunaDeclaration

I also support diving this country, in particular the Kaduna declaration, that is the quickest and easiest way to end the ridicule and blackmail.

Don't mind them.when they are so ignorant that they've never seen a bible,pathology,chemistry and law books written in Arabic.Majority of Christians especially Igbo believe Arabic=Islam.


when I want to scare the ignorants ones from my book,I write my name on it in Arabic.

What pain me most is that the most inflammatory,sensitive and delicate word to Nigerian Christians is "islamization" to the extent that whenever they hear it they neglect the related facts and authenticity.

And that's is why Nigerian politicians especially riff raff like FFK,omokiri often use it as political tool to distract the Christians from core aspect of government services that need attention.

LOL, they claim education yet so many of them are shamefully ignorant.

They are very ignorant oooo.Because their pastor will order them not touch anything Arabic that its satanic.


when I was in U.I,I told my 300 level pharmacy deeper life Christian running away from an arabic inscription that "with this your level of education you don't know Arabic language is an international language?"....or you don't know there are books of pharmacy written in Arabic?

reptile1:
Now shut the fvck if u have notin meaninful to say.

why French and Arabic? dont u have other languages to choose from? why is Nigerian always connected with anything Arabic? same way u have it on ur currencies and military uniform. if there's no sinister motive with such move then thy shud introduce French, German and Spanish languages in the recent curriculum

Religious bigotry has knocked off your logical reasoning.
What is bad in taking one other popular European language and one Asian language?


By the way,is german widely spoken than Arabic.Think above religious sentiments.Make use of your education. There are professionals, doctors,engineers etc that studied arabic texts of their discipline.


you should have rejected mathematics while in secondary school by claiming 12345 are called hindu arabic numeral instead of roman figures or abandon Algebra because it was introduced by an Arab.


I wonder why people switch of their brain when it comes to religion partisanship.mtcheeew.

I pity this country, imagine a whole religious body spreading lies upandan. When CAN can't see the difference between Islam and Arabic, what do you expect from their foot soldiers. They always feel inferior anytime is Islam is mentioned. Inferiority complex!

NairalandHowTo:
It is optional and has been so decades ago

Please read the curriculum statement again, this time slowly.

According to the statement, students are to offer MINIMUM of 9 subjects but ONLY 10 subjects are available

The key point here is MINIMUM because had it been it's minimum of 8 a Christian student in CORE NORTH which will have no access to French teacher (because I know most northern state will employ mostly an Arabic teacher rather than a French teacher) can also discard Arabic but in this case the Christian students won't have option than to choose Arabic since he/she needs a compulsory 9 subjects.

Also, if you look at the curriculum, you'll find out that English, Native Language, French & Arabic were listed.
By the time you subtract these from 10 maximum subjects you have 6 subjects left, please it's language Barriers that is our basic problem as a nation or what?

Imagine, combining Agricultural Science with other subjects to be studied as one, do you think all these subjects can be treated in their best form?

graphiti:
I don't have any problem whatsoever with d Arabic/French option.......the misgiving is why CRS/IRS should be merged with civic. Why not leave them as they were? What will it cost to have civic and CRS/IRS as two SEPARATE subjects? I believe its better ds way. If crs and IRS are combined as a single subject under civic (sic) ..... do u teach d students both IRS and CRS irrespective of their religious inclinations?......sounds kinda weird

on the last part no, the ministry of education actually said it wen it comes to the subject, dey will have different class.



The principal, who also spoke on merging of Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) and Islamic Religious Knowledge(IRK), said there is no controversy on the merger; only lack of publicity by the authorities which led to lack of understanding on the part of schools and other stakeholders.His words: “There is no controversy and the merger has nothing to do with one’s religion because if you are a Muslim, you take only IRK and vice versa. The only issue is that the questions are merged – IRK andCRK. So if you are to take hundred questions, you willhave 110 questions set for Islamic studies and Christian religious studies. That means, you will leave 10 undone.

QueenOfNepal:
Are you okay? Your London Vegetable spent his first 100 days in Office begging China to give him loan because he Knows they are an Economic Power.



Chinese language is more beneficial in facilitation of trade deals than Arabic which only importance is Quran reading.



How many of the so called Muslims can read the quran today because it's written in Arabic.



This policy will fail because the London Vegetable is not coming back again

Same way a guy was saying things like this and somebody responded by asking him what the original language of bible was before the different translations resulting in the many versions in circulation today, with their variant interpretations.

coptic:
You know Nigerians are very sensitive people when it comes to religion and ethnicity.

Don't blame them for being worked up over the issue.

The move to me is totally uncalled for. Arabic has been taught in the north for years. I don't see the need to change that.

This education minister is one controversial man. Refer to seunmsg's comment for my reservations on this.

come on stop disgracing yourself. Tell me, what has been changed? is anybody being forced to study Arabic? You are only against it because it's the language of Islam. If you don't want to study it nobody is forcing forcing you but allow other Nigerians that want to learn Arabic to go and learn! jaki Kawai!

NairalandHowTo:
They are ok with french but they hate Arabic though they like 2 go Arab countries and study and even smuggle drugs.

don't mind those hypocrites. I'm not surprised that one of them is asking for Chinese language. so that they will continue their evil works in Asia.

coptic:
And what has Nigeria to do with Arabic?

I just told you how majority of Northerners used to read and write in Arabic and it will be forever a part of our history. Learning Arabic can give Nigerians bigger opportunities in Arabian countries. what do we have to do with French?

Who is the jaki here?

I don't join issues with unruly people. Does your head hurt?

French is the second most widely learned foreign language after English. You think all those people don't know why?

Speaking French opens up study opportunities at eminent French unis and business schools, not to mention job opportunities.

How much of those does the Arabic offer?

Like it or not, Arabic, as studied by the Arewa masses, is solely for religious reasons.

Whoever wants to learn Arabic should go to the islamiyya.

Unfortunately, we live amongst unreasonable people.

And Arabic is the most widely spoken language in Africa! learning Arabic also gives the same advantages that you just mentioned and please stop making it as if French is going to be cancelled out in favour of Arabic so what's wrong with benefiting from both? just take a #200 note and tell any Hausa man to read the Arabic text on it for you. You will hear " naira dari biyu" instead of Arabic words. Arabic is part of our his history. Like I said, if you don't want Arabic please dont study it but you cannot use your silly, senseless religious bigotry to stop people that want to learn to learn.

So you mean to compare the benefits of studies in Arab institutions that are not different from Nigeria's due to religious sentiments, with what, French unis renowned for science and technology?

Why must he stress on Arabic. If you wanted a language for opportunities and growth, Arabic won't rank in the first 20. What remarkable feats have the Arab unis achieved?

Why not German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean?

Religion has most of you running mad, but you don't know it.

Religion and ethnicity is a major problem in nigeria, please let them give me Latin instead.

So , you are saying there are no options ?? that arabic is mandatory ?

that's how you confuse less educated people , go to the website itself and stop relying on fake pdp information

LOL, you should have indeed also told him that Chemistry and Algebra being some of the basic fundamentals of the Pharmacy he was studying were all derived from Arabic - Alchemy or Al-kimiya and Al-jabr respectively - so he should abandon the study completely and not become Islamised.

poo as usual. If you want to go by that I hope you are aware that Arabians were once the leading scientists in the world? and why are you talking as if Arabic is going to replace French? For you to say that Arabian universities are in the same league with those of Nigeria shows how blind you are. Arabic is a part of our history and whether you like it or not, your foolish religious bigotry will not kill the dreams of others. Your brothers friends are still being arrested for doing illegal businesses in the Middle East and North Africa and you are here typing rubbish. If you don't want Arabic then leave it alone but you cannot deprive others of their rights. You can kill yourself if you don't want that

That's your problem, really.

Whether it stays or goes, it won't apply to my state. So that's none of my business. I only tried to make you see why the entire thing has religious connotations.

I asked the relevance of Arabic in today's academic and work space. Instead, you gave me history. What's to counter there?

French language has bin there for years

Likewise Arabic.

Dalek:
y'all can scream, wail, claim internet activist, internet warriors ad infinitum.
fact still remain, Arabic language is not compulsory to learn, IRK and CRK are useless.

Religion and National Values is the best, let the students Learn to respect other religions. it will work better for this nation, since y'all too stupid to see what "my religion is the best" thought is doing to this country....

Bigots and Extremist alike..

But even you must see that it disadvantages Christians. The Christian is only taught his religion in a half baked mixture with civics and whatever, while Islam is additionally taught in Arabic studies which to all practical intents and purposes is Islamic religious knowledge.
Also people get the added advantage that they can get jobs twice as often as Christians since Arabic would be a separate employable course work , added to IRK. Then the multiplier effect from employment opportunities positive feedback could forcefully mainstream Arabic/irk. This is a tactical Islamic evangelistic push that will further marginalize the northern Christian minorities, and push Nigeria closer to Muslim majority status.
Wicked!!! These Muslims and their plans.
