Scrapping CRK In Schools: ‘Christians Need To Rise Up Against Buhari – Apostle Suleman President of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has expressed outrage at the removal of Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) as a subject of study from the secondary school curriculum, describing it as a move to Islamise Nigeria. The cleric in statement issued on Sunday, June 18, 2017 by Phrank Shaibu, his communications manager, stated that President Muhammadu Buhari by this new policy has confirmed that he was out to Islamise the country soon after being sworn in on May 29, 2015. According to him, the decision to scrap CRK as a subject in the curriculum but only to be studied as a theme in civic education while leaving Islamic/Arabic studies as a subject to be studied in the secondary school curriculum is a deliberate plot by the Buhari administration, among other schemes to eliminate Christianity or at best reduce it to insignificance in Nigeria. “The new curriculum wh...

NIGERIA MUST BREAK-UP WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT – OGBONNA   The National Chairman of the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP), Dr Damian Uzoma Ogbonna, has said that Nigeria will eventually break-up whether any body like it or not. According to him, It is only the privileged people who are in top positions that might think otherwise. The only way oppression leads to is anarchy or separation. When I say oppression that is the obstinacy and lack of discernment of those in power and absolute open antagonism to the debate on restructuring. Nigeria is going to be divided whether they like it or not. You see, you cannot hold down the liberty and freedom of people forever. There comes a time when they have to throw away that yoke. History told us about this, Britain over hundreds of years were on this oppression and ruled over various nations all over the world, they were forced to go. The wheel of progressive independence of states moved without much hitch. As an ...

As far as I am concerned, the country has been polarised for a long time. “Am I too important not to be arrested if I have committed an offence? If I have committed a crime; of course, why not? It is also an opinion; some people may wish me dead...
