I did attend classes on Sundays. Many schools run d sun-thur structure. My own here is dat y re u ppl angry bout dis decision?

Mallan Ladan I am not angry and will never be. The decision to allow or disallow will not change the amount I give as sadaqa nor will it change nor wipe my knowledge. All is well that ends well.

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.)

Good! Though a Christian but my Muslim brothers must be accommodated appriopriately in situations like this. Please fellow Nairalanders,let us call a spade a spade at all times

Mujtahida:

Stop spreading misinformation. Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution declares Nigeria to be a secular state. If it's not secular I guess it's Islamic abi

Nigeria is a multi religious state and not a secular state.
A secular state doesn't support any religion
Nigeria give public holiday for the celebration of Christmas and salah.
If the constitution did that then its a mighty mistake.

The adjustment is necessary, imagine if WAEC fixed an exam for Sunday morning.

Use your sense. Sunday is a weekend. It's not a weekday. Friday is a weekday. If you have interview on a Friday afternoon, don't go now. Go to Mosque. Useless fanatics

Do you go to work on Sundays? Is this country an Islamic country?

oh yes! I go to work on Sundays. Do u know y? To let my Christian brothers and sisters go to church and observe dia services. Is did country an Islamic country? No it isn't, neither it is a Christian country. Its secular as we all know. My question here is, how does dis decision affects u as a non-muslim? For God's sake let's be tolerant.

Just because school is not religion to us doesn't mean we should be punished with such.

one can make the same complaints about Christians
what happens outside the churches on lagos ibadan expressway every end of month?
what about the inconsiderate parking on sundays where roads are blocked to one lane only?

I'm not for either of the two religions. I detests all religions especially the Abrahamic trio of Islam, Christianity and Judaism but Christians are more tolerant and accommodating where they are the majority than Muslims. On this road blocking issue Muslims do it more than Christians and with Muslims especially in the North it's a potential crisis point.

Its not a big deal. Those that will pass will pass and the ones that will fail will fail.
It makes good sense to accommodate Muslims on Friday. What won't make sense is to wear full face cover to the exam.
If this will prevent them from causing trouble, blocking a state/federal road in the name of prayer.

People need to have a feeling of being part of the country.
What if friday and Saturday is weekend? Wont Christians still go to Church?
The Arabic abi na Aramaic writing on Nigerian Army flag has not been removed ooo.

The only problem I have is, this people will always ask for one thing or the other as they succeed in one. If Muslims will concentrate on reality, they'll be at forefront of discoveries and developments as in the old.

You don't have a good point there's frustration all over your write up,the only issue you have with the thread is all because this is in favour of Muslim....And about the issues of flight you mentioned traveling on Friday is optional even if you're Muslim if you think that by doing so your Jumat will be affected then you can easily avoid it unlike the WAEC issue which is not....Tiri gbosa for WAEC jare on this

Ministry has two Meanings. One relates to government, the other to church. Words should be understood in context. You do not understand that when I say I am going to the Ministry of Justice that means I am going to the church of Justice. Or is that how it reads in your mind?

Or would you reject the word commissioner'' in government just because the the word 'Commission' is used by most churches?

Take the word 'cult' for example. Today it means a secret group often engaged in nefarious activities. Yet it has another meaning especially within the Catholic Church where devotees of a particular Saint are regarded as his/her cult. For example the cult of Saint Theresa.
I'm just saying this to make you understand that words are delicate, slippery things which must be understood in context.

Now tell me why we have Arabic inscribed on the naira, the army insignia and the ABU logo

For using air flights as example here, u are dumb. Waec is a compulsory exam, flights have timings. Check it well, u can Schedule your flight time not to miss Jumah. And there's something called Qasr.

So in your understanding Anyone who is not serving your imaginary so called God isn"t educated?

you call yourself educated? with this kinda mindset?

Most Highly Educated individuals on earth do not even serve or believe in a God. why would anyone with a sense serve something they can not see?
you are holding on to this God believes yet thinks you are educated? this is the problem!

For airlines, I can chose which one to patronize. For exams, I have no choice. I have to chose one of two things that are equally important.
Why is it hard for you to understand that Muslims have right to practice their religion and nothing must be put in their way of doing so?

Throwback:

He asked you a simple straightforward question if Nigeria is a Christian country?

Nigeria is a Christian country in all but name! The country is built on foundation laid by England which is (was?) a Christian country. Our laws, our financial services, our weekends, everything! It may interest you to note that before England changed it, Friday was a work free day! I mean Friday used to be work free in Nigeria. So when Muslims ask for things that will only affect them, why are Christian complaining? Muslims have never sought to subject Islamic laws and others on non Muslims, why are Christians insisting Muslims must follow theirs?

Re: WAEC Adjusts Timetable To Enable Muslims Observe Juma’at by kollydey(m): 12:25pm On Mar 17, 2018

there should be proper consideration for anything before they embark on it. always bear in mind that any that will bring religion intolerant should be avoid. we are not in Muslim or christian country, where in a country where you are given freedom to practice your own religion

The Crux of the matter is Fridays is globally considered as the Blessed day of the week or let me put it in our way, Friday is our Sabbath day too. In Arab countries people close down shops daily and voluntarily when it's time for the 5daily Obligatory prayers. No hate feelings bro..Live and Let Live.
