FACT: there is no democracy in Islam. Their yearnings and cries for special treatment has its roots in an authoritarian religion devoid of choice and individuality. They may cleverly try to hide behind intellectual speakers and eye-glass wearing clerics. The message is the same. Islam or die. There is no other lie any Muslim can tell the world. 6 Likes |

taiwoakin: Truth be told, I understand where you are comming from. Lets do it this way, as long as the dress does not insult our eyes and as long as its the faith and belief of the wearer, it should be allowed. But eleha cant be accepted sha o. Make we for know who dey write exams under that cloth. Well, as long as the muslims will not kick against others too when it comes to their beliefs I see no wrong in wearing the hijab. I see nothing wrong in wearing the hijab sha. 2 Likes |

voltron: they do, only you may not notice it. The dress code of First bank Nigeria which i have read personally permits the use of hijab by staff of the bank Public service dress code in most states (though i have not read most, also permit use of hijab) I have seen many bankers use the hijab, Though many of them also choose not use it The point is that those willing to follow Allah's command should be permitted to without hinderance 2 Likes |

superstar1: It is simply because our religion has respect for constituted authority that we took the case to court It is also perfectly legal to deny any candidate or party who doesnt respect our religion our votes at the election and thats why we are going to toe that line. The Nigerian constitution guarantees the right we are demanding and the court shall vindicate us Your last paragraph warrants no reply, it is based on baseless fears and false and malicious assumptions 2 Likes |

Tinubu so dont come here to tell cheap lies cos i will expose you for what you are |

hijab in schools hasn't for once been ideal. it creates this religious division among pupils. |

GuyFawkes: Secular means not subject to or bound by religious rule. Lagos schools have never been secular, they conducted christian assemblies throughout the week until Muslims demanded that they have thursday and friday assembly and not even every Lagos school has complied (depending on the PTA) 3 days for christians and 2 for muslims) They close at 1pm on fridays to enable Muslims attend the jumaat service They conduct christian valedictory service for Teachers transferred to other schools and so on and so forth 2 Likes |

taiwoakin: Mscheeeeeeeew. If you do not take it to court, what would you have done? Please, we are begging you to deny candidate that will refuse to dance to your cheap blackmail, your votes. We will see the magic your so-called vote will do. So the Nigerian Constitution does not guarantee the so-called right of wearing hijab in the army or paramilitary. Hypocrisy of the highest order. How does a public institution like military different from public schools? After hijab, what will be the next right you will like to enforce -- my guess is camel riding. Lol 2 Likes |

OlaoChi: and you are a what? western slave? with all funky jeans and pleated skirts? you use coloured chalk and powder as make-up, bleach your skin and use artificial hair just to look like Caucasians!! AFRICAN INDEED!!! hypocrisy OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. let help you continue to cure your ignorance: 1. hijab is not an Arab culture at all. Pre Islamic Arabs used to dress half-nude like your western masters today 2. Islam today is indigenous (ie >300 yrs)to over 100 countries around the world, particularly non- Arab ones like Indonesia, Malaysia, Senegal, Tanzania, china, india and all this cultures ( which are older, richer and more prestigious) av accepted the Hijab for the muslims there 3. I repeat many European countries allow school pupils to put on hijab with their uniform. what they don't allow is the face veil or burqa and this not compulsory in Islam. Infact public and private schools in south Africa must not discriminate over the hijab! 4. are you guys better or more religious than desmond tutu of south Africa or more secular than the americans?!! Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit, for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear. We can’t disguise hostility towards any religion behind the pretence of liberalism.President Barack Hussien Obama, cairo university, 2009 |

tosin2013: I can see u are a dumb one Have u ever seen me in ur life? do you know me? No! Why then do you conclude that I wear jeans, fix gain extensions and put western make up? This is about Islam, don't lie and make silly assumptions to prove a point that doesn't make any sense 1. Hijab is middle eastern mode of dressing for women, mostly Arabs and Canaans, hijab and face veils are a semitic Asian culture like jeans are an American culture and suits are European 2. Islam is only indigenous to Arab land, like Buddhism is indigenous to Indian lands 3. I ask for proof..pictures or I don't believe it 4. Americans are majority Christians with over 70% on paper, Islam is no threat because it is insignificant in the country with less than 1% of the entire American population Compare with Nigeria where christianity and Islam are at locked horns with over 40% shared So if Schools in Nigeria want to favor one religion by allowing hijab they should allow christianity with all their religious regalia Not forgetting the traditionalist especially in South West where traditionalists are many 4 Likes |

taiwoakin: Again u proof ur silliness. Ask a Christian...he would tell you christianity is 24hrs a day way of life Ask a buddhist the same thing Ask a sango worshiper the same thing So why should a Muslim wear hijab and expect sango male students not to come with braided hair as Sango ordered his followers or Obatala worshipers not to come in all white Allowing hijab would prompt other religions to demand their own Then there's chaos in schools- place meant for learning Leave religion in your home, if you can't you don't deserve secular education 4 Likes |

taiwoakin: Christianity is a lifestyle as-well or should be and a righteous christian would tell you that the aim of the faith is to be like christ in everything you do. Let me remind you that wearing hijab and praying 5 times daily alone does not signify righteousness in islam , but rather the fullness of your actions at all time. |

They cover their heads and not hijab per say. Some banks don't allow it but GTB,First Bank allows a neat wrap up of the head. For me, I would rather that we all approach things in a very civilized manner. Whether we like it or or not there is history. 1) Most Schools are off shoot of western or missionary groups and so the culture of those schools. 2) The Nigerian government took control of all the schools at some point making all the governments. 3)Nigeria is and remains a secular states.(It is not an Islamic State, A Christian State or Ifa State) I think every religion should set this as number one in all religious matters. Citizens of a secular state should not vote for candidates because of their religion but on the quality of their manifesto and their track records. For the sake of peace, I thought most schools had berets already. This way, every girl can cover their heads.Except if the issue is not head covering.Must it be the Arab style of covering? Maybe a head gear can be designed for schools that will neither be western or Arabian. Maybe just a Nigerian head covering will do....this I think should resolve it for we are talking about uniforms here. taiwoakin: |
