A UK-based muslim nurse has shared how she and her colleagues were made to participate in Christian activities during nursing school in Lagos.
She said School of Nursing LUTH will make student nurses go round the hospital singing Christmas carol during XMas week. As a Muslim student you aren’t allowed to say no or pull out of it. They tried during our set to pull out, the issue was long, very long and they were d£alt with seriously. Even Jumah services they weren’t allowed then, the lecturers will fix tests on Fridays at Jumah time even though the Nigerian constitution allows students to go for prayers on Fridays. He sincerely hope that has changed now. These were some of the boundaries that were crossed. There were only 4 Muslim students in her set and they saw shege from religious intolerance, so they all needed to respect our religious freedom and boundaries. No one should force anything on anyone.
