Ministry of Education in Nigeria to Merge Christian and Islamic Studies in Schools

The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education in conjunction with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), is working on reducing the workload of primary and junior secondary pupils from 20 to a maximum of ten subjects under the nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to align with International standards.

However, under this program Christian and Islamic Religious Studies, which are separately taught, will now be merged under a compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV)...... How possible shall this be?

1000 Christian Girls Forced To Convert To Islam, Marry Muslim Men In Pakistan

According to a report by the Movement for Solidarity and Peace in Pakistan, up to 700 of these women are Christian and 300 are Hindu.

“The true scale of the problem is likely to be much greater, as a number of cases are never reported or do not progress through the law-enforcement and legal systems,” the authors claim. The Christian community in Pakistan is over two million in size, accounts for 42 per cent of Pakistan’s minority population, and is mostly resident in Punjab.

Christian girls — usually between the ages of 12 and 25 — are abducted, converted to Islam, and married to the abductor or third party. The victim’s family usually files a First Information Report for abduction or r*pe with the local police station.
