ola_pluto: The principals involved acted beyond their jurisdiction. This issue of ijab in schools is a crisis waiting to happen if our authorities do not nip it in the bud. Even in UK, primary school children wear ijabs to schools in public schools. I was at Stratford early this month and opportuned to see a primary school playing ground at lunchtime. I was very impressed with how everyone got along well, with the young gals in ijab playing and doing well.
The pupils do not have any issues with their mate wearing ijab. It is only the overzealous principals and teachers who try to enforce their religion.
Having said that, I think however, that our MSSN could have approached this in a more effective and legal way. They do not need 200 pupils shouting 'Allah Akbar'.. All they need is 2 brothers and 2 sisters who know their worth. There's a tactic to approach every problem

YoungSalute: @ abdulkayus Shame on you... I thought Islam reject western education. Olodo.

Get it, 21st Century. Not 1203 AD or BC oh !!!

victorazy: Rubbish!!!
Schools have dress code, and if anybody go contrary to it must face the wrath.

By the way, what is the meaning of this rubbish "To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam" ban me I don't care u only loose one esteemed donor!

Afam4eva: The law of the state supercedes every other thing. If you can't obey the law then look for a school where your lawlessness is law. I'm even surprised that law breakers have the temerity to protest lawlessness. I'll like to know what Fashola said to them.

abdulkayus:

hey, if u hate Islam dat so much, go hug BH boss. U need to start thinkin straight. Despite d education many of u still claim to get, is still doesnt reflect in ur life. I xpect some1 who claim to be educative to be sensible is discussin issue, bt nay, many of u hav been program to hate a certain religion. Sorry for u

abdulkayus:

May God bless u. Ori e wambe. U get sense pass many hypocrites here.

Judge Olubunmi Oyewole of the High Court ruled that the ban was a breach of articles 38 and 42 of the Nigerian constitution.

He further said the institution failed to prove how hijab could spark a religious conflict.

The judge underscored that the institute, a public school funded by tax payers and owned by the Lagos state government, cannot operate outside the provisions of Constitution.

Refuting arguments that the students ought to abide by the institute’s regulations expressed in their admission letters, Oyewole said they did not waive their rights to their religious beliefs and practice merely because they accepted the admission letters.

ola_pluto: So how UNIFORM is our UNIFORM in Nigeria? can you trully line 10 students up and see any uniformity in their so called 'uniform'?? In the later stages of my secondary school, the gals went for sexy skirts. They turned school 'uniform' to sexy, tight skirts pouting everything poutable. They were given school official 'beret' (a religious cap for christians), but they mostly wore bandana or scarfs. Wearing ijab is part of being Uniform! Uniformity in colour and style can be achieved by introducing an option of ijab of the school uniform colour for muslim students. Its very simple, but we know those who will oppose it.

dederocs:
islam has become a cankerworm,to our development.you muslims should stay in the North,we dont like you-y'all are extremists...stay on your own or else we all will bear the brunt.Do you think people will like Muslims,when they are being bombed by Islamic terrorists?
no one cares about your religion,just stop using it to affect us-abi una want make everybody dey shoot each other for street before una go hear word?

Afam4eva:
It may be allowed in some schools in the UK but it's not allowed in secular schools in Nigeria. There are schools in Nigeria that accept it and are mostly Islamic schools.
