Just answer the question!

Look, there is nothing wrong in ensuring our children are better prepared for the future. Arabic language is not the same thing as Islamic studies! There are many Christians who speak Arabic as a language. Many of our citizens, including Christians are now seeking their fortune in the middle east. Does the fact i speak English make me a Christian? or the fact my child is learning French and naturally speak English make him a Christian? Arabic is just a language like English and French. Nothing more

Have you ever read HEBREW in your life??

How many of your pastors & CAN members actually speak HEBREW,

Have you ever been to church and then the pastor just decided to deliver his full talk in hebrew. ??

Dont run away from reality If HEBREW IS the TONGUE of CHRISTIANITY then ENGLISH must be its SALIVA.
You are such an ignoramus. Unlike islam,Christianity has shown it is not limited by language hence you have it in various language including arabic.the founding language of christianity is hebrew!

A guy above me saying he has never seen a student in a Nigerian public school beating for refusing to take a subject is just lying to himself or he has never being to a public school all the same.

You see, I've to actually restraint my self from flying off the handle because of the sensitive nature of issues like this in the country. You know, there are quite a lot of miscreants on social media who may take what I'm about to say out of context.

You see my friend, particularly at the bold part, I think you are being sentimental and turning facts around to suit your purpose. Come to think of it, has Arabic been made compulsory so much so that any Christian student who fails to take it will be penalised? That's not the case here as far as I know. This singular argument of yours, I'm afraid, portrays you like someone with a biased intention. And as a social commentator, which I suppose you are, you ought to balance your analyse.

By the way, my take on this whole issue is why would government, in the first place, "fix it, when it's not broken"? Why the change, for what purpose?

In my days at MBHs, my friends and I do attend Christian fellowship together, and after collecting their biscuits and sweets, we'll run down to observe jumah service. That was before Nigeria was polarised along every lines you can imagine. But I still maintain, to some extent though, this polarisation, as it where, is mostly on social media, and not in real life.

Good day.
Having followed your line of thought for a while, I think if there is anyone biased in his analysis that person should be you.
If there is no clandestine motive with the Arabic and French thing, then why changing the status quo?
Nigeria is already polarized and there are major issues we should be handling for unity sake than coming up with policies that would polarize it more

Some christians are radicals and myopic. Whats wrong with arabic being taught in schools. Its the most widely spoken language in all of africa. No language comes close. Yet, all you can see and say is what your pastors throw into your dull skulls. What of english that has been taught for ages since the time of the missionaries. Did muslims cry foul. I studied french in secondary school. Did it turn me into a french man. Rubbish. So many illiterates that are boko haram in their thought process.
then why do they wittle or collapse crk? Only the truth shall set us free

do you have prove that some people were actually flogged for refusing to take Arabic,or it is just a sentimental gesture to wipe up sentiments.. I actually went to a public school and I repeat no one was beaten for refusing to take a subject... You will simply fail and have zero!!!!!..like as said earlier Arabic is as useless as the p in psychology
My brother, most of us all attended a public secondary school. There's a clear difference between failing to write an examination & refusing to take a subject. There's never been a way u will stand up to the sch authority that u won't take the required number of subjects

You mean Arabic is the most widely spoken language in all of Africahuh? Lol On the contrary it is not amongst the ten most spoken languages in Africa. Do your research before your brandish your ignorance on social media..

Modification: In this case I was the ignorant one as I failed to look at the Grand North which unarguably has millions of Arabic speakers. They actually make up over a hundred million of Arabic speakers on the continent.. My apologies "dataking"

I wish we never had this religion in the first place.....see people asking for hebrew or greek....lol....how many have seen a hebrew bible? All these fake christians coming here to form anger over a subject. Just so you know, I for one wish I had studied arabic. crk was the most useless subject I took in school added no value to me whatsoever. it was the easiest thing dropping it the first chance I got.

But then that is just me. Very few people are like me in this world that believe we are first humans before any other classification.

We only have good and bad people

Evans is a christian......shekau is a muslim......at least that is what they claim

Did nobody read the parable of the good samaritan?....the message is there in effing plain sight

Must every proponent of the APC government always be daft? Go to Niger & Kwara states to know what Christian students are passing as regards this issue.What have sycophants of the catastrophic "Sai Baba" done about the senseless killings of Christians in this evil regime? So his concern is for Christians to study the satanic arabic language.Thunder fire you there.Fool.
your are wrong, they kill more Muslims than the christians

One of the most painful thing is to find stupidity from someone when you expect brilliance.

This issue is a disgrace to all Arabic speaking Christians all over the world. They might be few, but it is a big slap on their belief.

The government should please change French to Hebrew so we can rest.

Afam4eva:
So, why are we learning Arabic instead instead of Spanish and Hindi? Where did you place Chinese? Is Arabic a global language like French and Spanish? Is it more sort after than Italian and German? What exactly is the reason for introducing Arabic if not through the Islamic angle.
I believe it could be due to the fact that you can hardly find Hindi and Spanish speakers. Let's be honest, Arabic speakers are not difficult to find. I for one in my primary and secondary school days learnt igbo and Arabic. But I can only speak Arabic. Assuming Hindi and Spanish are introduced, where do you find the teachers



Personally I still don't see the need to introduce Arabic studies.

You are very dumb to have equated french with a useless language like Arabic.
The missionaries operated private schools then and they used their
mother tongue, english to teach, muslims refuse to send their children to
the schools, instead they sent them to learn Arabic and that is why the north
is the most backward region in Nigeria in terms of education.

It is a shame that a supposed "educated" man can't reason properly.

Hope they will be enforcing students to also study CRK in public schools in North grin
ooh God!!!!! why Can't you behave like you have sense. How many times will you be told that no one is to be forced to study crk or IRk.
Are you suffering from selective amnesia?

The bias intention started from the ppl in govt not here OK . why would they introduce a foreign language and subject at the expense of d other? If they want to study Swahili or Afrikaans why making the existing subject irrelevant?
