mrofficial: You just made your ignorance very obvious. You clearly have no idea why Muslim women wear hijab if you can ask that stúpid question. |

MissMeiya: I asked the guy who quoted the constitution. If you read the section 38 which he quoted, your brain may be able to fathom my question. I don't want to insult anyone regarding this post. If you can't do without insult, don't quote me again. |

mrofficial: Smh. You're too dull. Your question makes it obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. Alright, let me explain it slowly, since you didn't get it the first time. Freedom of religious practice is protected by the Constitution. In Muslim religious practice, women are obliged to cover certain parts of their bodies in front of men they are not related to. Male family members and other women are not included. So, your question about if they must wear hijab in the bathroom is a stúpid one. Because their religion does not require them to hide their hair from themselves. But if Nigerian schoolgirls are in the practice of bathing with strange men, I assure you, the hijab would be the least of anyone's concerns. |

MissMeiya: Since you didn't get my question, I will enlighten your dull brain. The case of not using Hijab in the bathroom doesn't subject to "can't be covering their bodies from themselves". We both know that removing of Hijab is done because there is a need for them to remove the Hijab while in the bathroom (That's if any of them was wearing it). And even if you choose to wear Hijab to your own bathroom, that's your own wahala. This is a public school with uniform and that is an unquestionable reason for you not to add anything religious to it. Because the school is not attended or made for Muslims alone. If there is a need for a muslim girl to cover her hair, the school always have beret for the girls. I believe you also know that preaching inside of a public bus has also been banned. But if the preacher feels like preaching inside of his room or in his church for 24 hours, that's his own wahala. You can't come to the public and try to force your belief on everyone and start claiming freedom of religion in the public, there is no common sense in that. Every time the government does something right that affects the Muslims, they always see it as an attack on Islam without applying common sense which is the problem we are facing here. Preaching inside of the bus or broadcasting of miracles on TV doesn't affect anyone yet they are banned. But if one applies common sense, you will see that it is a good step forward. We have to respect everyone's belief in public and put away religion. Lastly, we should not let religion becloud our sense of reasoning. 1 Like |

MissMeiya:See, let me ask you this question. Did you go to a government school in Nigeria? This issue of wearing hijab is just being introduced and made to look as if students have been wearing it since forever. I do not know a single secondary school were hijab is worn to school (except islamic schools). The scary part is that most of you clamouring for 'hijab rights' here passed through most of these government schools. What changed? |

MissMeiya: I will not join you in throwing tantrums. The truth hurts and I know the reason for your anger is based on your religion. It is not new to me. Did you attend primary school? Tell me the part of the body that needs to be covered after wearing a uniform. I hope you don't come to say the hair again, because the school has beret for the girls. If you could say that I am suck in debate because of the way I have constructively laid my point, there is no need for you to quote me again. |

Saying wearing of Hijab will cause disunity is like saying that a yoruba man should wear the hausa mans outfit,or the igbo mans outfit so that there won't be disunity.wearing the hijab is part of the laws a muslims woman as to fulfil.muslims cannot say a catholic should not wear a rosery on his/her neck.. A principal beat a girl in hijab outside of the school,in the school nursing,college of medicine a sister in hijab was threatened with expulsion because she refuse to sing christmas carol last christmas,another sister faced the same ordeal because she wears the hijab.This are just a few people who were bold enough to narrate their ordeal. 2 Likes |

English master! Someone who came to the thread late, after going through more than 10 pages, couldn't still see the reason not to wear Hijab in public schools, and still want to tell me the meaning of bigot and twist it to favour her stupidity. I strongly believe all schools should allow Hijab without any questions. Are you happy? I'm out! |

donroxy: The constitution says Nigeria is a secular state therefore all public institutions schools inclusive should be treated as such,if ur kids must wear hijab,feel free to send them to any of the various almajiri schools up north where they will give them the kind of education you are craving for or any of the islamic private schools if u can afford any,the sanity of public schools due to the strict compliance of uniformity in all students cannot be breached because of a few overzealous religious extremists. 1 Like |

donroxy: Section 10 of the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria states that the government of the federation or of a state shall not adopt any religion as state religion which in other words means Nigeria is a secular state, don't be shy to use the dictionary if the word secular happens to be your problem then u can relate the meaning of that to this topic and u would have done urself a favor of putting ur brain to good use for once in ur life. The verdict still remains,if u have a problem with that catch the next available flight to perhaps Sudan where ur hijab cravings can be satisfied. |

tit:Well your religion is against you going to school in the,first place so stay at home, Lagos state public school is not a religious school, an sarudeen schools are there so make the right choice, besides if such is allowed children of traditional religion followers will also have the right to bring charms and horns to school because its a part of there religion. |

BetaThings: What a primitive way of thinking? Why did U just jump from Friday to Sunday if I may ask, or is there no any other day that we don't work too? Besides, this is universal as people need to rest for some days after working for five days. Just imagine the kind of drama that will be happening, if xtians are allowed to be wearing their doctrinal attires to the schools too. However, sango, obatala, masquerade, IFA, olosun, etc have different attires despite the fact that they are all trational religion. If they are allowed too to be wearing their different attires too, can U envisage the rate of conflicts of interests and domineering competition that would occur? To me, this is not about religion, it is all about common sense thing. |

neyobills:You are a foo:lish person, idio:tic and worst of all Ignorant .... That is why I asked you to allow people with the brain to do the talking .... Do you ever pass through any legal studies or proceeding in your entire life ohhhhh , you think you can just pick any section of the constitution and interprete it with dumb-thick-blackish brain of yours !! Very dull boy .... Do you know the meaning of ''Prohibition of state religion'' as enshrined in section 10 of the 1999 constitution as amended ! The principle behind the provision of section 10 stipulates that there can never be Islam/Christain states in Nigeria .... Simply, No religion own any state ....... E.g Bokoharam's Objectives: Why do you think we are fighting Bokoharam? Because one of their Objective is to turn NorthEast Nigeria into an ISLAMIC CALIPHATE which contravene , among many sections, section 10 of the 1999 Constitution ... ... Bokoharam can not own any state in Nigeria for Islam !! The spirit of Section 38 doesn't contravene the Spirit of Section 10 .... Section 38 allow for freedom to practice religion thus wearing Hijab in fulfilling the tenet of Islam is covered under section 38 of the constitution and doesn't in any way contravene section 10 and any state that barred such individual as acted ultra-vires .... Infact section 15(2) forbid anyone to be discriminated against on the ground of Religion !! The Lagos state government doesn't have the constitutional power to barred any tenet of praticising Islam nor limit it in scope !! It is like the state stopped them from observing salat or fasting .... Or barred someone for paying Zakat or visiting Mecca .... !! Lagos can't stop any tenet of Islam ... After Appeal ... Supreme court will hear this one !! 1 Like |
