Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has lambasted northern governors for shutting down schools in Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi states for the Ramadan period, describing the decision as "ignorant" and "idiotic."

Sowore, in a recent interview, questioned why Nigeria—a secular state—would allow religious considerations to interfere with academic activities. He pointed out that even in Saudi Arabia, where Muslims flock for the lesser Hajj, schools remain open during Ramadan.

“Saudi Arabia where everybody is headed for lesser Hajj—did they close down their schools? You see, those are ignorant Muslims. Basically, let me put it straight: they are idiots," Sowore declared.

He added that under his leadership, no state government would be allowed to impose religious considerations on governance.

"When I become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the states will have no business with religion. I can’t be President and you come and close down schools because of fasting. It takes me back to outrage again that that has become normalized. Like you said, religion is sensitive," he said.

Crime exists in all societies. Nigeria dey even learn work when compared with USA in of drug trafficking.

We are talking about government making policies that are anti progression because they are muslims. Shutting down school for 5 weeks because of Ramadan. Is this the first time Ramadan is being celebrated in Nigeria?

My post is not for people like you who have low IQ. A people who shut down schools in a secular region because of religious activities are mentally unstable. Even Saudi that has 98% Muslims have never done that. Wake up and smell the coffee boy

What does this nonsense have to do with my post?

I hope comprehension is not a problem? Someone asks why the stove is on and you say it's because the sun is shining.

Northern Muslim politicians are getting
more fanatical every year, to please their
sheepish citizens and cover up their massive levels of corruption .


These are same leaders, that for years are
unable to solve security problems, thereby
deepening poverty and reducing life expectancy.


The Muslim North ☪️ can never change and
are determined to be parasitic on the remaining
progressive & productive regions of Nigeria 🇳🇬

When he becomes president? I wish him well.

But then how does fasting affect schooling. Minors are not supposed to fast in the first place.

I need clarity on this.
