Sultan of Sokoto and President - Generation of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Dr. Mohammad Sa'ad Abubakar, has weighed in on the lingering controversy over Hijab. A Muslim female law graduate, Firdau Amasa, was turned back from the venue of the Call to Bar ceremony that took place last Wednesday because she was wearing a hijab. This has generated a lot of debate with many people condemning her for attempting to flout the laws of the legal profession while others are of the opinion that she should have been allowed into the venue. Reacting to the controversy, the Sultan of Sokoto said he is yet to understand why the issue of Hijab would be so controversial to the extent that female Muslims who wear Hijab would be 'molested'. According to the monarch, Hijab simply means decent dressing for Muslim women and it is mandatory in Islam. The Sultan said this yesterday at the fifth National Convention of Muslim Public Affairs Centre (MPAC) with the theme, "Public Trust and Accountability" where he was represented by a member of NSCIA and Wazirin of Katsina, Prof. Sanni Abubakar Lugga "His eminence wonders while Hijab has now become a controversial issue. Hijab simply means decent dressing, decent dressing by the females. So why should decent dressing be a problem? The Hijab is just an Arabic word. In English it means decent dressing. His Eminence has asked Nigerians to reflect and see that this is not only an Islamic mode of dressing but a Christian mode of dressing. It is also a Judaism mode of dressing and it is a dressing for every decent woman. It is a dressing for any woman who wants to preserve her chastity in public. Secondly, in Nigerian constitution it is absolutely clear. Why should Nigerian Muslims be molested and even denied their own right? The Appeal Court ruling in Ilorin is there, the Appeal Court in Lagos and also the High Court all delivered judgement in favour of Hijab. Justice Alooma, the former CJN, Justice Bukalchuwa and other Senior Justices in Nigeria wear their Hijab and then the wig on top of it. The Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC), the Highest body in the judiciary has not said, 'no, they should stop' which means the Nigerian constitution allows the Hijab, the Nigerian Courts through these three judgements have allowed the Hijab and the NJC through these senior judges has allowed the Hijab. Why will a legal school refuse our sister's induction into the judiciary simply because she is wearing Hijab? Is the law school saying they are above the NJC, they are above the Nigerian constitution, they are above these three senior courts?" the monarch said http://www.metronaija.com/sultan-sokoto-reacts-hijab-controversy/ 46 Likes 14 Shares

Mynd44 kurusade is being complicated  The whole controversy made no sense, NBA suffers colonial hangover. They told firdusi it is a convention not a rule of law yet mund44 has been jumping from thread to thread to shouting it is NBA rule but they said it is convention not even a written rule how does a convention trumps the constitution? It is clear that we have many terrorists in disguise terrorism in the heart people who will use every means to deprive Muslims of mudane rights others enjoy in other parts of the world, the only thing holding them back is their cowardice. I repeat is it not Bokoharam when you work hard this hard to deprive Muslims ladies of their rights to education. 83 Likes 3 Shares |

Stalwert:NBA suffers colonial hangover and we dont suffer Arabian and Jewish hangover?  Please if you cannot comprehend simple English, do not present my argument. My argument is simple "Remove the entire Law School dress code as it is ridiculous and silly, revisit the laws of the law school itself and rework them because allowing hijab and leaving the dresscode like that is insane" Now pick out your points from these arguements 69 Likes 9 Shares |

Stalwert:Of course you are too quick to jump argunents so you dont look at the the points individuals raise. As long as that dress code stands, hijab will not be allowed so anyone wearing it as well as any religious attire can go get called by his/her Pastor/Imam/priest 40 Likes 5 Shares |

Mohammad Sa'ad Abubakar is a religious bigot that talks from both sides of his mouth. Being an islamic hypocrite, he tried to gain public appeal by saying the hijab is a christian dressing as well as what every woman should wear... that is the most stupid statement from a leader of the parasitic northern Nigeria. He should as well tell traditional worshipers to dress in their respective regalia as commanded by their gods. Cherubim and Seraphim should come in their white gown while Olumba Olumba should wear red. Stupid religious bigots hiding behind the constitution to promote their islamic intolerance and terrorism 83 Likes 4 Shares |

Muslims are the problems of the world. Wherever they find themselves, they cause controversy, soo dogmatic they always wanna impose their distasteful religious beliefs on everyone. From the US to UK to France to Nigeria, they are that nagging tooth ache that would never go away until you see the dentist for an extraction. 44 Likes 1 Share |
