Arabic Controversy: CAN Youth Wing Commends JAMB by phemmyutd(m): 4:31pm On Jun 12, 2018
The youth wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria has commended JAMB for successfully conducting Police recruitment exercise - The group said JAMB deserves commendation rather than condemnation - According to YOWICAN, fact-finding mission on the exercise revealed JAMB fairness and transparency The youth wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has said that the allegation against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) compelling candidates to write Arabic subject in the police recruitment exercise is untrue. YOWICAN rather said the examination body deserves “commendations not condemnation” for carrying out the recruitment exercise effectively, Premium Times reports. In a statement released on Monday, June 11, Daniel Kadazai, the president of YOWICAN said a fact-finding mission by the association to know the truth regarding the inclusion of Arabic from JAMB revealed fairness and transparency during the exercise.

"In as much as we came with complaints, as Christians whose Bible teaches love and truth, we must equally promote love for one another and also say things the way we see them. I know a lot of people will antagonise this statement but this is the truth." He also urged the JAMB's the registrar to use his influence as a strategic personality to help address government policies and appointments that seem to favour one side of the religion in Nigeria. “Most of the directors in JAMB are Christians, some are also deacons in their respective churches and they told us in confidence that they set the examination.

“Irrespective of what has been written before, we are writing this to address the public especially the Christians that we have gone there, investigated and the allegations are not true. Even when you see the results, there is no Arabic there," Kadazai said. But in his reaction, the spokesperson for CAN, Adebayo Oladeji, said the association was not satisfied with JAMB’s explanation on the matter. He said the association rejects the alleged introduction of Arabic in the exercise. Also speaking, the JAMB registrar Ishaq Oloyede said the whole scenario was misinterpreted. “I am disturbed that Nigeria has degenerated to a level where we don’t trust each other anymore even amongst religious leaders, no candidate was instructed or made to forcibly attempt any questions in Arabic,” Oloyede said. He said the questions in contention were not part of the exam but were simply included as ‘dummies.’ PAY ATTENTION: Install our latest app for Android, read best news on Nigeria’s #1 news app Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously reported that the Christian association had called for the cancellation of the aptitude test which was organised by JAMB. CAN said such move is a violation of the Constitution and the secular nature of the country, to mandate both Christians and Muslims to answer questions in Arabic language. The association said alleged incident is another dirty slap on the 1999 Constitution and a deliberate attempt to undermine Christians.

If this is true, then I commend CAN youth wing for having the courage to put the record straight.

A lot of pastors, including Oyedepo, mounted their pulpit and ignorantly further incited their already gullible congregants against the government and muslims, spilling the stale Islamization narrative.
Unfortunately, millions of their congregants bought into this false narrative, thereby carrying inside their heads the odious belief of an islamization agenda by muslims.

In saner climes, the right thing to do is for those pastors to remount their pulpits, tender an unreserved apology to the Muslims and retract their false statements.

We all know the alleged arabic exam is the handiwork of christian online fanatics and most of them are here in nairaland, the tithe loving pastors also capitalize on it to gain more tithes from the illeterate followers that can't even reason with their sensens.They cant show a single person that attempted the alleged arabic questions. Nigerian christians are the worst set of illeterate intolerant undisciplened set of christians in the whole world. Kudos to yowican

You mean CAN the new political party?



Last time I checked, those guys are after political favours, rather than Christian welfare.

Had it being it was French no one would have complained... Thank God they are now convinced that candidates were only asked to attempt only questions written in English only..... This is designed to know who can follow instructions..

... My thoughts also. When I listen to Oyedepo and others accusations, it saddens my heart how a man of God presume and assume everything without digging for the truth before sharing such with the congregation and raising tensions unnecessarily. God help us all

Be sensible. Oyedepo simply made a statement based on a report he got just as many other Nigerians did. Knowing the antecedents of the Nigerian govt it is not surprising that a govt which allowed Arabic inscriptions on the Nigerian currency that more than 70% of the population could not read would make moves to test police candidates in Arabic. If anything, CAN and Oyedepo's quick response has made it perfectly clear to whoever is even thinking of doing such in the future that there would be sharp responses if any attempt is made to introduce Arabic beyond the level it has already been illicitly introduced.

There is nothing wrong in CAN/Oyedepo making mere allegations based on feedbacks they got. Afterall it is not as though they were threatning violence if govt didnt agree to their demands. It is however the responsibility of JAMB/Police to come out and clarify on whatever allegations that had been made in any quarters.
