Anybody, citizen or non-citizen, traditionalist or non-traditionalist, christian or non-christian, moslem or non-moslem, querying the right of Barrister Amasa Firdaus to conform with her religious injunctions is perhaps unpaid enemy of the Nigerian state. To begin with, the Nigerian constitution, ad ibinitio, provided that every citizen is free within the ambience of the law, to practise his or her religion so long such a practice doesn't hinder others from practising theirs. Where now lies the grouse? Did her hijab stopped other non-moslem from putting on their on religious attires? As a traditionalist, if your religion, like any other religion, requires you to always be in a masquerade attire at all public, organizational, civic, religious functions, so be it! This is religious tolerance and respect for people's fundamental human rights.
As far as I know, again coupled with the fact that the use of hijab as a religious practice for the moslems is a known fact, it will therefore be out of place for anybody to be raising eyebrows on such a practice when they are equally entitled to their own religions and all of their injunctions, rites and practices.
Summarily, If hijab is taken, appreciated and accepted by the moslems as one of their non-negotiable dress-codes, it doesn't, shouldn't and can't stop either the christians from putting on any or perhaps all of their biblical robes at all times, and even to a public function or in their profession. Then, no individual, christian or non-christian, moslem or non-moslem must by any means deter or complain about any of the traditional dress sense or codes of the traditional or Idol worshippers when they appear in their full regalia in any public function or profession. This is religious tolerance and the definition of secularism; tolerating and respecting the rights of others to their beliefs, religions and culture.
You are entitled to your masquerade attire, I'm entitled to my hijab, he or she is entitled to her church robes. The only way to go !!!!!!!
