The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has bowed to pressure, and is ready to amend the part of its 2018 SSCE Examination that clashed with the Friday Jumah prayer. The affected subject is Chemistry 1 and 2, which was originally slated for 2pm to 5pm on Friday, April 20, 2018. Following reactions from Muslim organisations, the Director of Public Affairs, WAEC Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu has confirmed the slight amendment to Premium Times. Mr Ojijeogu said: “For the sake of the people who will go to the mosque, the exam will be delayed till they come back”. According to him, “the paper will be delayed till 2:30 pm or 3 pm, when the Muslims will return from the mosque.” Prof Ishaq Akintola, Prof Abdulrazaq Kilani, Dr Saheed Ashafa and Hajia (Barrister) Mutiat Toyosi Orolu spoke with Premium Times, which exclusively investigated and reported the story. http://www.iwitness.com.ng/waec-bows-to-pressure-adjusts-timetable-to-enable-muslims-observe-jumaat/ Cc: Sissie & Mukina2 8 Likes 2 Shares |

 This is arrant nonsense. Absolute fvckery and ridiculous fanaticism. MURIC should as well force airlines to postpone or cancel Friday flights so that passengers can attend Ju'maat. Its a shame that WAEC succumbed to the subtle Islamization ploy. How many WAEC candidates observe Ju'maat? Why should a student in school even want to leave school to attend Ju'maat? Let alone a student who has exams. In saner climes, WAEC would be sued to court for altering timetables for a reason as flimsy as this. With the way the country is tilting, very soon Fridays will be declared a work-free day and it will be considered an offence if the rule is flouted. MURIC should get one fact clear; Nigeria is a secular state and will always remain one!!! Friday is a weekday and exams can hold on any day of the week (except Sunday which is globally considered the Sabbath day.) 211 Likes 23 Shares |

And so it begins. Ladies enjoy the fresh air going through your hair, enjoy it while you can because anytime now you would be forced to wrap a rag around your head. We are getting there. #itsjustamatteroftime. First adjust the educational structure- there is a reason why they are vehemently attacking the educational structure, first it was the female law student and her insistence on wearing a rag over her head, now its the waec examination l calendar The next phase would be an attack on dress code and lifestyle, it would be disguised as a "moral ethics" rule, girls would be forced to wear a rag over their head and interaction between male and female would be monitored. Third phase would be targeted towards religion. They have already succeeded in the Political and Financial stage. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Even Christians would have cried foul about islamization if any exam was scheduled on Sunday, even if in the evening. Talkess of Muslims who only have a short window of 1 to 2hrs on Fridays to pray at their Mosque, only to have those same hours occupied by exams. 11 Likes |

BruncleZuma:Is Nigeria a christian country? Why do we need to have holidays on sunday, why are we using the invention of a catholic pope called Calendar to conduct our own affairs? Why do we use christian parlance to name Heads of Govt Agencies Minister and departments as ministries? Why do we use church titles in our education sector? Rector, Vice Chancellor, Dean, Provost are all borrowed from christianity. Just because of common Anjamin arabic on Naira, they screamed islamization, Just because Nigerian Army used Arabic in their logo, they screamed islamization. Are Nigerian Muslims not as equal as Nigerian Christians? Are we second class citizens? We should learn to understand one another in order to live in peace. Enough of all these victimization of Muslims on Nairaland (79 Likes 17 Shares |

Nothing wrong here. However, this should not be a precedent for us to allow religion influence commonsensical situations. |
