Owode Yewa, 29th January 2026 – In a remarkable display of eloquence, intellect, and critical thinking, FADL-I-OMAR Model College hosted its Inter-Class Debate Competition for students from Junior Secondary 1 (JSC1) to Senior Secondary 3 (SSC3). The competition was held at the School Auditorium along Owode-Ilaro Road, attracting enthusiastic participants and a keen audience of teachers and students. Following the P.O.I method (Point, Observation, Illustration), students were encouraged to argue logically and defend their positions with factual evidence. The debate topics were carefully selected to stimulate thought and discussion on both social and educational issues:Day School vs Boarding School: Which provides a better environment for learning?Teachers vs Doctors: Who is more important to the development of a nation?Should the use of ChatGPT and AI be banned in writing school assignments?Should vocational training be mandatory for all senior secondary students?Students impressed judges and the audience alike with their confident delivery, clarity of argument, and ability to respond to counterpoints. The competition not only tested their knowledge but also honed public speaking, critical reasoning, and teamwork skills. The school’s academic coordinator highlighted that events like this aim to cultivate leadership qualities, effective communication, and analytical thinking among students. She noted that debating allows students to engage with contemporary issues, form informed opinions, and express themselves confidently. The Principal of FADL-I-OMAR Model College [Mr.Oniyiku S.A] commended all participants for their outstanding performance and reiterated the school’s commitment to providing platforms that foster holistic development, ensuring students are well-prepared for future academic and professional challenges. The debate competition concluded successfully, leaving students inspired and motivated to participate in future intellectual engagements. It is clear that such programs play a pivotal role in shaping the minds of the next generation of leaders. Signed by:Mr. Kushimo A.RCoordinator, Literary and Debates Committee

The Literary & Debating Programme at Fadl-i-Omar Model College represents a harmonious blend of traditional devotion and modern intellectual pursuit. By hosting an Inter Qur’anic Competition, the school is not just testing memory, but is actively nurturing a generation that carries the wisdom of the Holy Qur’an in their hearts and the power of eloquent speech on their tongues. A CELEBRATION OFEVERY VOICE​Tomorrow’s competition is more than just a test of memory; it is a celebration of dedication at every stage of the journey. By bringing together both Huffaz and non-Huffaz, Fadl-i-Omar Model College is fostering an environment where every student, regardless of where they are in their spiritual or academic path, is encouraged to excel. ​The Heart of the Competition​For the Huffaz: This is a moment to showcase the “living miracle” of the Qur’an preserved in their hearts. Their presence sets a high standard of discipline and spiritual mastery for their younger peers.​For the non-Huffaz: It is a courageous step toward deepening their connection with the Word. It proves that the journey of learning is just as valuable as the destination.​The Full Spectrum (JSC1 to SS3): Watching the transition from the fresh energy of Junior Secondary students to the refined eloquence of the Senior Secondary sets will be a testament to the school’s long term impact on character and confidence.​”The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it” This event brings that teaching to life, turning the school auditorium into a sanctuary of wisdom and healthy rivalry.

Education shapes not only the mind but also the character. Both Islam and Christianity teach that good behaviour is the foundation of a meaningful life. Discipline, honesty, respect, and kindness are values that guide students toward success in school and society. Undiscipline:Undiscipline includes lateness, truancy, disobedience to school rules, fighting, examination malpractice, and noise-making. Undiscipline weakens self-control and leads to punishment, poor academic performance, and damaged reputation.Islam teaches self-discipline and obedience, as Allah loves order and righteousness. Christianity also teaches self-control as a virtue that leads to wisdom and success.References:“Indeed, Allah loves those who act with discipline and righteousness.” (Qur’an 2:195)“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7) BullyingBullying involves physical harm, insults, threats, intimidation, and online harassment. It causes emotional pain, fear, and loss of confidence. Bullying is a form of oppression and cruelty, which both Islam and Christianity strongly condemn. Students are encouraged to show kindness, stand up for others, and report bullying to teachers.References:“Do not oppress one another.” (Qur’an 2:279)“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31) Disrespecting Peers and TeachersDisrespect includes rude language, disobedience, insults, fighting, and refusal to follow instructions. Teachers are mentors and guides, and peers are companions in learning. Respect creates peace, cooperation, and a positive learning environment. Disrespect leads to conflict, punishment, and loss of trust.References:“And lower your wing to the believers.” (Qur’an 15:88)“Respect everyone, love the family of believers.” (1 Peter 2:17) StealingStealing is taking what does not belong to you, whether money, books, uniforms, or personal items. It destroys trust, brings shame, and attracts serious consequences. Islam and Christianity both forbid stealing and encourage honesty, contentment, and hard work.References:“Do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly.” (Qur’an 2:188)“Whoever has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work.” (Ephesians 4:28) Moral and Religious LessonsGood character is more valuable than wealth or popularity. Students with discipline, honesty, kindness, and respect gain the pleasure of God, the respect of teachers, and the trust of their peers. Bad behaviour may appear attractive at first, but it leads to regret, shame, and failure.References:“The most honourable among you in the sight of God is the most righteous.” (Qur’an 49:13)“Good character is worth more than riches.” (Proverbs 22:1) ConclusionStudents are encouraged to fear God, obey school rules, respect teachers and peers, reject bullying, avoid stealing, and practise self-discipline. Good behaviour reflects strong faith, proper upbringing, and responsible citizenship. By choosing what is right, students build a future filled with success, peace, and honour.
