The Baptist High School, Iwo, Osun State was in a state of chaos and confusion yesterday Tuesday Feb 4th as some students of the school
came into the school premises wearing their religious apparels such as Hijab, choir
robes, white garments, fetish veils and Orunmila attires, ditching the
approved uniform by the state government. And later during their assembly time, the students all sang songs that were associated with their religious
beliefs.
According to reports, the students were registering their displeasure at the state government for the introduction of Unified School Uniforms for all schools irrespective of religious beliefs. The Christians who are owners of the school were protesting the new policy on education set by the state government that allows Muslim students to wear Hijab to Christian's mission public schools.
The new policy of school reclassification by the state government, which was introduced last year has been causing a lot of problems in the state, because it introduced the merger of most of schools, and because some of the schools are faith-based, there's chaos. The Christian schools do not want Muslim students wearing Hijab to school but the state govt has made it legal, thus the continued protest...

Youths r bcuming bold !!!!time to mke a change in dz country...
heheheh..this their protest is very creative ooo
Sensible kids,wish d youths wil emulate this,protesting against many social vices in the society,instead of whiling away their precious time on social networks,girlfriends/boyfriends,sex,money,sixpacks,alcohol,to mention but a few
This is a delicate issue considering the multi religious nature of our society especially a state like Osun
The new policy of the government aimed at Govt management of schools both the ones owned by religious groups compounded the situation.
And the picture we are seeing is the long discord that exists between the two main religions.
The best way out is to return mission schools to their owners.

Muslims can be tiresome sha!y do dey like raising unnecessary issues?hijab is made for d mosque just as d scarf is made for d church,haba!if u wanna wear hijab go to d mosque or better still go to a muslim skul,y should u be given special consideration bcos of ur religious inclination?*JAY NONI#
Yes its going to be a 'Tower of Babel'. I think d State Govt shd concentrate on standard/quality of education offered than d cosmetics of uniform. There's enough schools to accommodate different religions which shd be left to individual choices. Just looking for palaver...
Seems like aregbesola wants to islamize dat state. #zerotolerance
Found Large numbers of indecent clips of my GF's Phone
lip sealed
Stewpid law. Let dem wear uniforms or open islamic skools for hijab uniforms, n traditional skools for obatala worshippers n let d xtians continue with theirs.
hmmmmmmmm
heheheh..this their protest is very creative ooo
Lol say what? But seriously religion is always our problem in this country.If only we can shove our differences and undastand that school is schoo.lReligion should in our heart and not just what we wear
Outrageous, unified school uniform.is the problem now for govt to solve.its a pity
osun state has to do something about dis bcos u don't allow muslim student putin on hijab to christian school its shuldn't be. And 4 dos orumila self dere own mata tire me oo
wherever there are Muslims they would want to impose their beliefs on others by force . Will an Islamic school allow wearing of skirts to their schools. A governor now thinks the state belongs to him and his religion. Foolish politicians will not give up self interest until they start a war in this country. I hope they will die first.
o ga oooo......
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Hilarious!!!
It's not funny sha but very funny.
Dividing the state on religion grounds. The governor should know he cannot introduce sharia or force Islam on citizen.
lol, i was serving in osun last year when they introduced this same uniform thing and it was not cool,one cant identify his or her own student,as for the ejab they where asked to use beret in my school but dint really work for others.
It is good to fight for your right but not in this sense!!!!
When I told some1 that the governor is ....... (Oya make someone else finish it, I dey fear their proposed bill) the person didn't believe.. Why grant muslims rights to disrespect a christian schoo! Absurd
Waiting we no go hear from this Naija self? I no fit laugh oooo.... lol!
Owk
Beautiful
Funny they even merge the primary 5 students with the secondary school, but they protest against it.
Is that one of the gov campaign promise?
I like their action, good for them govt.
SNOWYTE SAY S̶̲̥̅Æ ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡
See why Nigeria wldnt progress? We sit n accuse ppl or racism when we r greatly divided religiously n by tribe. Waiting 4 God's kingdom when all will b 1 bt 4human rulership,it's a no no
Aregbesola is a confused man.
Hopeless govt!
If they want to wear their hijab they should go to a muslim school. Why is It that anywhere you muslims there can never be peace. Only God knows the sort of indoctrination they would have given these kids.
Wonders shall never end...
This students are really funny! It bcos the skuul is not disciplined,it a secondary skull not a uni.nah so y are they misbehaving?
Muslimss n trouuble. In school of midwifery Guasau,be u xtain,atheist,muslim,u must wear a Hijab n nobody is disputing dat. Hw come it has nw come 2 xtains 2 lay down dia rules, everybdy is protesting. Rauf,pls don't set ur state on fire....
Hmmmmmmm! Religion has done more harm than good. SMH
I hope & pray that this will not generate into something else. Aregbesola is a religion fanatic. He's a book haramist.
Okay naa no be only muslims gt religious clothe,make d government approve others so e dey fair to all and sundry
Next plss
yayyyyy naija singlegirl is back to her funnyblog
Nawa o..wetin person no go see 4 dz country...vewi funny
Let Osun SG not just start what they can't finish. Even in Kano where they can be fanatical and over religious, the missionary schools, even partially run by the government, the Muslims wear what others wear. The Christians are not even allowed to wear things like rosary during school hours.
Dis is a Christian missionary school come to think of it the Muslim students are not meant to dress and put on their hijab on Asmf there's Moslem schools around In I gun state so they dey shud respect the school policy
I hope it chaous won't occur here
it has been expected long before now.....so I am not surprise
I don't understand the Nigerian government...., always passing irrelevant laws. Instead of them to focus on building a better educational system, hiring qualified teachers, building better educational facilities etc , they are there focusing on uniform !!!!
Just imagine d state government,when there are more important issues to take care of,,,
LOL. Na wa. Mo-1.
Aregbe is a fanatic, y re-organize d schools in the first place?
it has been expected long before now.....so I am not surprise
That osun state governor is another muslim basters!!!
His coming is very close!!
#That happy sister!
Dey can wear it. N remove it at d entrance of d scul
I HATE RELIGION! Can't we just find a way not to make everything have a religious under tone?? Haba
LOOOOOOOL.... NA from secondary school e dey start. Aluta Continua.. Victoria Ascerta! That Unified school uniform thing in Osun State is just unnecessary. I hope they government of that state listens to their students and stop the confusion.
Hmmmmmmm.what do they want?
Nawa ooo... Dis 1 na serious gobe. Some governors wit dis der irrelevant policies. God help us
Nawa ooo... Dis 1 na serious gobe. Some governors wit dis der irrelevant policies. God help us

LOBATAN O!
OSUN STATE WE HAIL THEE!
Ogbeni Aregbesola just wants to use this policy to destroy all the good work he is doing in that State. He should leave pre-existing schools alone he should make this uniform law apply only in government schools. With the level of religious bigotry existing among the people, He just wants to cause mayhem and confusion in that state like tinder to drybush.
The uniform is confusing, no barge to diferentiate to the school, imagine a student roaming around during the period, and u ask him or her to get inside d school compound and he tells u he is not one of d school student, u won't knw maybe he is saying d truth or not bcos dere are all wearing same uniform. Am a corper,am serving here in osun state. Dats wat we are facing.
I toť d governor is moře enliting we Did he want to cause problém in the west any way muslim ll always remain muslim it is their way to want to control everybody
I don't think there is legitimate reason for these kids to protest..... It is a Christian skl... Nd these kids and their parents knew Tht th skl ws Christian b4 they were enrolled..... If u wan wear a hijab.. Then go to a mixed skool they r in abundance after all....
See what the leaders of today are causing for the leaders of tomorrow.
Oga o,end tym is here
Muslims go to mosque daily and specially on Fridays,Christians go to church daily and specially on Sundays.Despite this Nigeria has more than enough troubles to worry about.Why compound it with irrelevancies.Pls educate everychild in school and leave the religious matters to their parents for its their duties.Pls let school uniform be what it used to be and if hijab on uniform is the prefered for Muslims,let them attend private Muslim schools.Moreso these children will end up in Universities without uniforms.Gov Aregbesola should pls do his duties and leave the parents' duties for them to do.
Rauf Aregbesola has finally happened!!! That's what religious bigotry results to, please remember the state has diverse religious groups/belief Ogbeni Governor!
Lol :D
Online Money
please osun state govt return this school to the rightful owner or may be u r waiting to see traditional clothes bf u wakeup.
Linda, I served der last yr, d new sch uniform bears OMOLUABI without a badge which is wrong.
Confused~ u mean u are a copper? Nija educational system Shaaaa !
Hmmm. That means let there be equality in school. if you are allowing one religion, then allow others too
...#NewsBlist
Hijab that Mary mother of christ wore till her death is the very garment xtians hate wit a passion. SMH I. Wonder if she will recognise any of u wen she sees u in ur mini n semi nude state.
I love this! It's a step by step move toward making the government hear our voice
The baptist are just inciting the pupils for no reason...the only relationship baptist convention still have with the so call school is only in the retention of the name nothing more,no input from them financially, staff scheduling or administration, the school is solely funded by the govt of the state, why then cant all the children of the state irrespective of their religion ,benefit from the facilities put in place by the state from the state fund.Its all about religious tolerance,baptist convention opinion cant work with the dress code of the pupils.If at all, they should wait for the outcome of the judicial process to reclaim the structure back from federal govt , then they can chase away all the hijab wearing students.Without this, they cant stop any bona fide student from attending that school in a regalia allowed by the state education board.TOLERANCE IS THE KEY WORD
I hope and pray they do somtn abt it asap to avert unnecessary riot btwn these religions!
Numerous dirty slaps from military men " soldiers" will bring dem back to dere default setting
The Muslims shouldn't wear hijab to school. shikena
I support the protesting students! If the Moslem students are allowed to wear hijab to school, then the xtain students should be allowed to wear choir gown to school. The traditionalist should be allowed to dress like native doctors to school, as well. If you don't belong to any religion, you can wear mufti to school. What is good for the Jews is good for Uganda. lol.
Sharaap your mouth there. Tell one importance of wearing hijab to school?! The only importance is that the moslem girls hide under it to commit numerous sexual atrocities.
Osun state governor is a BASTARD !!!
Am confused! If it is a Christian school y did they enroll them?
If it is a Christian school, y did they enroll them? If it was the other way round Muslims will NEVER enroll them
@ anonymous 4:37, Mary did not wear a hijab, read ur Bible before u speak/type.
This Aregbesola is a big fool.. if u cannot solve the problem of the state why add to it.. what to wear and uniform has never been a problem in Osun state.. now u have come to make it a problem amongst innocent student.
Clean water, power supply, good roads, free and quality education, good health-care for these students and the people of Osun state, improved standard of living..
None of the above have u been able to solve or provide, instead u bring more suffering and hatred amongst your subjects, the same people who voted you in.
Compared to your fellow governors what have u been Abel to achieve since u have been elected into office.. aregbesola u are a disgrace to your people and the federal republic of Nigeria. It is governors like you that should be sentenced to death by hanging. Sometime around the end of 2013, we talked about Governors who had made remarkable changes to their states and not a single person could say one good thing about Aregbesola.. u need to be taken to bar beach and have ur head washed with iron sponge. Since u have refused to change... I rest my case.
Yu mean uu are a corper? Hmm this country's educational system is so sad
For ur info, hijab is to be worn by every muslim female everytime not just to the mosque.
And u ppl will be saying 'islamize', what's bad in wearing hijab to skul by muslim females only, they dint say xtians to wear it, just muslims, so wat's islamize on dat one now
Are these skuls we talking about actually xtian skuls? For Allah's sake,they are run by the government thereby making dem public skuls
Is dat imposition? Were xtian students asked to wear the hijab? And even the skuls we talking about here actually xtian skuls or public skuls? Pls ans dos questions
Wat're u talking? Are these skuls run by missions or government?
My friend, he is not destroying anything and he is not causing any mayhem. Why is it dat non-muslims don't like to see muslims in hijab? Pls ans dat question
It's really uncalled for! Is d governor trying to start a multi-religious wars or problems in d state?,it makes no sense αηδ he had better known what he's doin or whateva any rubbish he's trying to legalise!
I have been following the antics of that dirty looking governor.He is doing everthing to islamise the West.However,I know the Yorubas to be sophisticated people,who will do everything possible to maintain secular and diplomatic way of living.
D problem started wen governor asked all govt schs in d state to be wearing d same uniform. How can more dan 20skuls be wearing d same uniform? Obviously Osun govt is bending if u are in d state u wil understand how ppple has been rendered homeless without compensation, even shops and containers has been banned only Govt official market which pipu can't afford to pay. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola needs God's leading to rule d state OSUN is going back. U can do sometin beta Mr Gov consider d future of d youths. Guys if u are in d state u wld av understand beta. As long as GOD lives Osun state will change for beta in Jesus name.
Madness everywhere. Changing things that would wreck the country n cause religious battle among our very own. Madness
I dnt knw y mst pple tlk lyk fools...aregbesola legalizing hijab doesn't say Christian shud nw put hijab on deir head b4 goin 2 sch nw...usn of hijab is part of our dressn in Islam if u surely knw u re a muslim xo i dnt c anytn bad in wat aregbesola is doin...
This policy has no bearing to increasing educational standard. Election will judge if Aregbesola has people's consent. It's time for Nigeria to wait at the poll for ultimate judgement on Govt excesses.

I have always said it, APC agenda is to islamised Nigeria. How could a governor who is who is assumed to be educated promulgate a policy as stupid as this, just to prove to the world that he is a religious fanatics. I pity all those other APC states. Linda if u like use this comment cook beans chop.

They merged low performance schools wit average schools to cut costs.
Maybe the contract for who will supply the material for the newly instituted uniform is too hot to pass on

Seriously, Ogbeni Aregbesola need to have a rethinking on how things are being reformed in his state. Religious matter is a very sensitive issue especially in this country. Lets me make a call to APC party's leaders - like Pa Bisi Akande, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu & others to have a close door meeting with Govrn. Aregbesola to stop mixing Rice with Gari. Thank U.
Comments from every one has been interesting.but the question is why do the muslims wear this hijab? We dont need to be sentimental here because its a way of life muslim women are always meant to be seen in their hijabs as it is a commandment from God.but where is it in the bible for christian s to make regalia a part of their dress code.or even the idol worshippers.what is being fought for can be allowed but how many can last a week in their regalia or their babalawo cloth.this policy doesnt affect muslim boys, christians, or our idol worshippers infact it does not affect muslim girls that choose not to follow Allahs orders.its simple just it takes nothing away from anybody.not from the teachers and not from the students.its just a policy thats bringing in tolerance from scratch.the world needs to tolerate we muslims more.muhammed leaved with christians in peace and they had agreements which both sides kept.to us its important we dont infringe on your rights and we make sure you are judged by your book.well there are english qurans around I think everyone of you should read it.cos we read the bible as kids even when we didnt like it so we know whats in it.ignorance might not help us leave together in peace as our religion encompasses every part of life from business, to social life, to child upbringing, to marriage.everything is organised.thats why its a complete religion.
This is what APC is all about, taking Nigeria 30yrs backwards. Imagine them frustrating the 2014 Budget that has been well packaged to create jobs through the completion of the privatization of the power sector, the completion of the east west road,the dualisation of Abuja-lokoja express road,dualisation of Kano-maiduguiri express road and the complete rehabilitation of Ibadan-Lagos express road,Enugu- port harcourt Road,Onitsha-Enugu and several other package for farmers to boost food production and create jobs. This is very clear that APC is no alternative for PDP. All APC has been doingis looking for cheap popularity from the media by making ironic jingles and blackmailing the govermnet, creating unneccesary divide along religious line.Nigerian youths open your eyes.
Anon 7:39pm,let dem go to a muslim skul den,tis vewi simple.JAY NONI.
I THINK IT IS TIME TO BAN RELIGION FROM SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES ,
LET PEOPLE PRACTICE WHAT THEY LIKE IN THEIR ROOM .
WHATEVER YOU THINK , THAT WILL SAVE YOU, LET IT BE YOUR BUSINESS, AND YOU DO NOT BRING IT TO SCHOOL OR TO THE OFFICE.
BECAUSE ,THESE TWO SO CALLED RELIGION IS DESTROYING US ALL.
PEOPLE ARE JUST CRAZY ,
THE SO CALLED ARE FULL OF RACIST, AND DIABOLICAL ART.
