She said the state police commission had suggested the suspension of the age long practice following the prevailing security concerns in the country.
In a swift reaction, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the state released a statement rejecting the suspension of the early morning devotion by the state government. The statement which was signed by the chairman of CAN in the state, Archbishop Joseph Edra Ukpo, reads in part;
“Sequel to the letter from the Ministry of Education with reference No MOE/S132/VOL 1, by the Permanent Sectary of the Ministry of Education dated October 21, directing public and private primary/secondary schools across the state to suspend all assemblies (morning and afternoon) till further notice, the Christian Association of Nigeria , Cross River State chapter, hereby, says that such directive is totally unacceptable. This directive will negatively affect the moral upbringing of our children who are future leaders of this country”.

ReplyDeleteNa dem saka
ReplyDeleteThe reason given by the state government is quite reasonable,its for security purposes.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
I disagree...If the government is concerned that students may be at risk when gathered for morning devotion. How do we reconcile the fact that students also gather in classrooms for their lessons, or do we cancel that as well?...This reason is not good enough!
DeleteBonario, watch d evil coming out from ur bowels...is security able to take the place of true prayers?
Delete*instead of praying at the general assembly grounds they should pray in their classrooms NOT stop prayer.
The new govt. admin sign oath with devil abi, dem don fail alrdy, IJN Amen!!!!
Nawaaoo this is sooooooo wrong
ReplyDeleteWhy morning devotion?? That's not fair to God cos he's the only one that can protect us when we're in danger....
ReplyDeleteAnd so it begins!

ReplyDeleteHow will it affect theit moral upbringing , it is a public school not a Christian school . Does it stop the children from having sex,lying ,gossip ! U guys should know the boundry line...private school can do watever they want
ReplyDeleteWhich security concern?
ReplyDeleteNa wa o. But pls hw wil stopping mrn devotion better our country? Rulers of darkness at work.
ReplyDeletehave u ever asked urself why muslims rejected the new hundred naira note? They removed the arabic words from it cos all our notes from 100 to 1000 have arabic words when we are not an arabic nation and u think they are not hiding something. Dont trust their lies or excuses, u cannot appease them, just reject it
ReplyDeleteWhy do Christians never take their FAITH seriously? What has the morning devotion got to do with security issues? Have there been any cause for alarm in Cross river State over the years?
ReplyDeleteSo when the pupils and students are in their classes taking lessons gathered together there is also no security threat? Why is it that its always the things of God that we Christians always cut off 1st when issues arise. I tire oo.
When evil rules the land!!! May God forgive him. Oloshi
ReplyDeletecant the devotion be done in each class individually? dats how they will be forming over-spiroro till bombs start exploding
ReplyDeleteSince wen has der bn issue of security concern in dat state or any oda south south state for dat mata? I smell d hand work of occultic fellows in d govt house.
DeleteNa so e dey take start o.....see America today. Okay no proble, we are watching.
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelieveable. I bet you. There is a devilish person on seat, either the governor or the state COP. But they will never succeed, the Lord will fight for those children. Only God knows what the enemy wants to do.
ReplyDeleteWHEN POLITICIANS AND TOP CIVIL SERVANTS ARE MEMBERS OF THE OCCULT, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN. THE SAME THING HAPPENING ABROAD WILL HAPPEN HERE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOLD THEIR SOULS.

ReplyDeleteThere should then be no boarding of students and pupils so that their parents can take better responsibility of their upbringing since state and church are abdicating the faith-based moral responsibility
ReplyDeleteMany Pentecostal churches
ReplyDeletedo not deserve to be allowed to go near unguarded under-aged children. They make Satan to seem more powerful and more dreadful than God. Indirectly this affects the childs mental stability.
This is a seriously precarious situation that must not be handled with kids glove. We all agree that if this measure were to have been announced in a northern state, for the tag of security attached to it, it would have been accepted and thumbed up by us all. Here we are down south south east and it is coming up. SOUNDS MORE TO ME LIKE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE OBTAINABLE OR NORMAL IN YUESSAY! Though we also must not forget the fact that morning assembly in our schools has never been a CONDUCTOR FOR MORALITY even if it helps some cool-headed students remain good. A classmate of mine way back once lit a firecracker (banger) besides me right in the middle of a sermon during a morning devotion exercise. You can imagine the stampede that ensued with even the social studies master that was administering sermon scampering to an assumed safety. What made matters worse was on discovering what happened, my guy was so scared he accused me of being an accomplice. All my pleas fell on deaf ear and we took the dire punishment together which incited me to experiment more fire cracking mischievous sprees as a pay back against the said friend and some school officials that didn't believe me.All those are in the past now and we do laugh over it these days. Moral of this short story of my life being, PEOPLE CHANGE PEOPLE and not MORNING DEVOTION!
ReplyDeleteThe governor is not in the country and did not give such instruction. The woman who did has been suspended immediately. The governor is a Christian and will never stop the devotion in schools.

ReplyDeleteYou can't try this in an islamia school, yet foolish christian government of this state wants to do this! Truellyyy satan is at work here! We must work effortlessly to condemn and reject this statement! If God cannot keep or secure the state then no police or military can do likewise.

ReplyDeletePlease disregard the security report. This was the same way, prayers were taken out of public schools in the U.S.A.; because nature abhors vacuum, something else had to takeover. Guess what took-over, GUNS!
ReplyDeleteDo not take Prayers out of public schools.
Occultic people have started.
