I believe this suit is from the NDC Muslims meant to destroy to destroy Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's chance of becoming President of Ghana. I will advise all NPP Muslims not to support them.We have lived as one nation for years without these Hijabs,why now? 3 decades ago, when we had O & A Levels there were even matured Muslims girls who never used the Hijab and it did not destroy them.

To avoid all these rubbish, why don’t u just send your kids to Muslim school where they will feel comfortable..why do u go to a Christian school that was established by missionaries and expect them to change their values and rules just because u are a Muslim..like if this is not madness? Then it’s what?the Ghana govt use tax payers money to sponsor these uncivilized Muslims to Mecca yet no Ghanaian even complain..why is it that these Muslims always think they are special and should be treated special..Mahama the wicked president intentionally put haruna iddrisu as education minister so he could be doing all these rubbish all in the name of religion..if a group of people refuse to think and always put religion ahead of their common sense, poverty will be the end result..that’s why most zongo’s are poor and disorganized..the northern part of Ghana is so poor all because their religion is more important to them than using their common sense..if u are a Muslim and want your kids to enjoy full Islamic teachings and conduct, use your brains as a parent and send those kids to Islamic schools..this is called common sense..chai

Enough is enough. We are tired of them with all the threats and court sues. Wake up christians. Don't allow moslems to dictate to you since christians can't dictate to moslems in their schools. Are they better than christians? It is simple as ABC. Go find a moslem school to attend where you can wrap your head and face. This kind of dressing is not entertained in christian mission schools.

Mission schools were founded on certain specific Christian values, mandate and goals with the institutions' own resources. Government later came in to ASSIST and not take over. The reason why they are Govet Assisted Secondary Schools speaks to its nature. They are not owned by the state. They are semi autonomous and indeed exist without any government support as other private schools. Non Christians are at liberty to attend other wholly state owned schools where such constraints dont exist. Such denominations have also the right to exercise their freedom of religion within their invested institutions.

Why all these lies. Not Muslim girl has sought to wear the hijab at the school. The recent discourse was triggered by a law suite initiated by a Muslim lawyer against the school because of its most recent draconian rules to prevent Muslim students from practicing their faith, like their 5 daily prayers and fasting during the month of Ramadan. And also to stop the school from converting these teenage girls to Christianity by forcing them to attend the so called power night where Muslim students are targeted for special prayers to cast out the devils in them.

Dear Presiding Bishop and Chairman of the Wesley Girls' High School Board,

I would have greeted you with the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah (Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh), but since you never believed in my basic right to freedom of worship, let us just get on with why I am writing this open letter to you today.

For a leader of the board which oversees the school with a motto that says "Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong, Follow the King", I find it rather unfortunate and disappointing that you had to actually deny allegations of discrimination against Muslim girls in Wesley Girls' High School. It appears the "Speak True" in your motto is only a joke. From my understanding of "Follow the King", the King in question is Jesus Christ. Would he have orchestrated, supported and condoned the oppression of teenage girls for the mere reason that they were of a different faith?

As an alumna and a Muslim woman myself, I am actually impressed by your attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the general public through your communiqué. In fact, I may have been swayed if only the discrimination in question, which you vehemently deny, was not my lived experience.

What actually triggered this write-up is your claim in the 7th paragraph of your press release that "We recognise and respect the constitutional right of every student to practise her faith or non-faith within the framework of WGHS traditions. However, to create a parallel system where some students of different faith groups eat, sleep, wake, study and live separately would inevitably lead to segregation and undermine the cohesion and collective traditions of the school".

Sir, it seems to me that your only problem is the "students of different faiths" because we all know that WGHS has made and continues to make concessions for different groups of girls to eat, sleep, wake and study separately.

Sir, as the board chairman, I would be very surprised if you claim to not know about the crafted exceptions to your most-cherished parallel system through the granting of special privileges to the following groups of girls. In case you are not aware of these special accommodations, let me list a few that immediately come to mind below:

1. It is no secret that whenever there are preparations towards the inter-colleges and super zonals athletics competitions, WGHS sports girls are allowed to abandon their cleaning duties and prioritize their training sessions. These girls aren't only allowed to be on special tables in the dining hall, but they are also given more nutritious meals and are allowed to wake up earlier than the rest of the school. They even sometimes had their meals reserved for them to eat at a different times than the regular dining hall times.

2. Members of the NSMQ team, popularly referred to as "Brilla Girls", are known to be on special tables (eating special food, of course). In a school where electronic devices are banned, Brilla girls are allowed to have and use laptops these days.

3. While preparing for WGHS' annual speech day celebrations, girls in the cadet are allowed to eat supper at a later time than the rest of the school. Their meals are literally reserved for them! This is something that can be easily replicated for fasting Muslim girls.

With the exception of maybe the Brilla girls, all other groups mentioned above outnumber the school's total population of Muslim girls. So, why has this been made to seem like an insurmountable task?

4. The final group I would like to bring up had the special privilege of worshipping separately. Sir, I am reminding you of the Anglicans and Catholics who were graciously given the honour of organised mass on Sunday mornings. Since the compulsory Wesleyan church service on Sundays in WGHS were almost always held in the evenings, students who professed Catholicism and Anglicanism were allowed to join the morning mass with priests from their churches, who came to the campus to worship with them.

I am reliably informed that those masses ceased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are yet to make a comeback, so I guess we can pretend you forgot about this.

It would have been more credible if you had stuck to your unyielding stance about not allowing Muslims the opportunity to pray in non-disruptive ways (like on our beds and in small corners of our dorms) in your press release, instead of wasting our time with your half-baked story of "recognising and respecting the constitutional right of every student to practice her faith".

WGHS has always done well with managing special situations like those mentioned above. The Ramadan fast lasts for only thirty (30) days, similar to the preparation period for the annual inter-colleges competitions. Sir, you know and I (as well as all other Muslim students -present and past ) know that it is not that WGHS cannot put in place some minor accommodations for Muslims. The undeniable truth is that our beloved school just refuses to do it because Islam is where it draws the line.

You are free to believe what you want to believe about how you respect the Constitution of Ghana as it pertains to the rights guaranteed for Muslim students, but kindly abstain from making claims that we all know are outright mistruths.

I humbly plead with you to follow the motto of the school, which admonishes us to "Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong and Follow the King".

Shalom!

A female student, Deborah Samuel, was gruesomely murdered in Nigeria’s northwestern Sokoto state after she said “Jesus Christ is the greatest. He helped me pass my exams.” For this message, she was murdered.

According to media reports, unidentified assailants hunted down and killed Samuel after she sent a WhatsApp voice note to her classmates that some of them deemed to be insulting to the Prophet Muhammed.

In one of several videos that have gone viral and caused uproar, men with sticks can be seen beating the lifeless, bloodied body of a woman, reported to be Samuel. The video also showed young men celebrating, with one man holding up a match box and saying that he used it to set her on fire and kill her.

The minister of education is a hypocrite, when the girls hair cut issue came to the media, He said we would allow it happen in the school because the school has rules. But when this issue came he said school has no right. My question is, is it because he is a Muslim? The so called Christian don't read the Bible and the understanding of the Holy Spirit. According to the Bible teachings a woman should not cut her hair, because the hair is her glory. (1 corinthians 11:1-15) and it also said a woman should not put on dress like a man and man also not like a woman. (Deuteronomy 22:5). Now what do we see in the so called Christian Churches? I have always asked this question, at what time do we see someone is Man or woman? Is it at birth? If so from that time that woman should not cut hair or put no anything like a man. The Same as a man. If I am Judge, my Judgment will be if you are Muslim or Christian and you want to go to missionary schools or Muslim schools then you have to be a day student so that you can practice your faith. I rest my case...

Let's watch the minister of education closely. He is a hypocrite and a threat to national security. He is working with Mahama to diabolically increase the population of moslems in Ghana by granting citizenship to fulanis. We need to shine our eyes and start interrogating this dangerous practice. These fulanis have a social media platform which they're using to facilitate acquisition of Ghanaian citizenship with support of the president.

They're only testing the waters. If they think the hijab is the optimum or they cannot do without the hijab, why wouldn't they go to a school that has hijab as part of their dress code? We have Moslems in the military. Why don't they insist that they would put on the hijab and not the military cap or the berret? The Moslem lawyers and judges also abide by their prescribed dress codes why not the students?

Muslims in Ghana must let sleeping dogs lie. This agitation can damage the peace that Christians and Muslims have enjoyed over the years. Can you imagine the chaos in schools if adherents of evety religious faith is permitted to practice their faith? Even among Muslims there are sects. How would schools' authorities supervise diverse religious activities? The call by the Muslims is at best a recipe for disorder and indiscipline.

Most of this so called Muslims creating problems in Ghana are not Ghanaians they are from Nigeria, Niger, Mali etc.
By the way Muslims do not consider Ahmadiya as Muslims so why are they referencing their schools

This is foolishness. Christian school should stop admitting Muslim kids. They created this problem for themselves. It's obvious both religion are rivals. Muslim wants to turn Ghana into Nigeria and it won't happen. A Muslim must never be allowed to get close to our presidency again, never because Ghana is a Christian country and must never allow boko haram on our soil.

Muslims think that they are the only religion that matters in this world. Very soon they'll demand that Friday should be declared a resting day even though they're only a few in the midst of a larger Christian community

Our institutions are making children. The Bible says train up a child the way he should go. Why should the admission of a group of children seek to change the institution which is to make them rather than change. Please leave the mission schools alone, don't come and change them. Please go to your Muslim schools if you so desire. Leave the Christian mission schools alone.
