Nigeria is a secular state, meaning you should not bring your religion to school period! you can't wear a hijab to school, same way you cant wear a rosary or chaplet.

I feel for those kids under 3yrs old wearing hijab in the heat of the sun. Its total slavery. What does it have to do with their school uniforms. Please ban it totally from all schools in the 36 states and set the children free from this bondage. They can wear it anywhere else and remain in it butnot in schools.

that doesnt stop us from voting out GEJ come 2015

u are now coming down a little bit. And who told u d hijab worn is of different colour?
The hijab is d same colour as d uniform. Its their right, dey shld be allow to wear hijab

ibnhasan:
Why the Hijab ban is flawed

1. Muslims pay tax and have the right to attend public institutions. The Public institutions should therefore not be set up in such a way to preclude Muslims from attending. People made the rules, and people can change them.

2. Christians really have no obligation to wear white garments beyond the church and neither do the traditional worshipers have any religious clothes. So allowing Hijabs will NOT translate to chaos. I know many christian boys who wear

3. We should also stop the lie that there is no religion in public schools. The fact that students pray on assembly everyday and that religious studies are still taught negates this.

4. Nigeria is secular on paper only. Its the reason why religious leaders still have so much influence in our politics a la Oristejafor and Northern Emirs;the reason why we pray in every government function and even sponsor people on religious pilgrimages with taxpayers money. Countries that are truly secular don't do these.

5. By banning Hijab in public schools its easy to see how the ban may soon include all public places in the name of secularism; government offices including the House of Reps and Senate are also public spaces which should be devoid of all religious symbols.

6. Must it to get to that before we see how a Hijab ban erodes the fundamental human rights of Muslims?

7. By criminalizing Hijab in schools, what lesson are we passing across to young ones about tolerance and mutual respect?

8. Yet Hijab harms no one. Those who oppose it do so only because they don't like it.

Nobody told me, I have been to some schools and have seen them with multi coloured hijab. So I am very sure of what I said.

Sir, you are dwelling in intolerance and exclusion

kraftykc:



Noooo, we are in a SECULAR country. NOT A RELIGIOUS one. Your safety and right to practice your religion is guaranteed and nothing else.

Dress code for a government school must be impartial to ALL students, if Muslims are allowed Hijabs by Jove my kids should go in their pajamas cos my religion gives them the right to.

Once again I say, Nigeria is a SECULAR state, meant to accommodate all her religions and treat them equally (nevermind the truncation of the constitution by Sharia law in the north)

How come Justice Modupe Onyeabor does not feel inferior to nuns or does she?

I have been following your ranting for 2 pages now, i feel I must reply you once.
1) the Saturday and Sunday holidays were not made because of Christians. Saturday is a weekend, while Sunday is the start of a new week. it is usually work free in most parts of the world, it has nothing to do with religion

2) Nigeria is a secular state, it does not endorse any particular religion. so you cannot bring your religion to a school were other religious worshipers congregate!. if the Muslims must wear hijab to school, them the seraphin av cherubs should be allowed to come without shoes, the ifa worshipers would come with red cloth and cowries around there neck. what kind of school would we have?

3) you keep going on and on about a national Christmas tree, as if we do not have a national mosque built with tax payers money too. or Nigeria does not belong to OIC against the will of Christians. so when you talk about exclusionism, you do not have a point.

4) lagos state governor is a Muslim, but one who is not an extremist. the rational part if his brain is still intact.

5) talking about exclusionism, why don't you allow people to comment of your Islamic threads on nairaland except they swear allegiance to your Allah? or do the Christians also prevent you from commenting on their threads? you Muslims just don't know how to coexist with other rational humans

experimentist:
Corrupt christian cu'nts! People that don't even mind going to church half naked. Hypocrites, no wonder their useless and thieving pastors gets e-rection whenever they are performing on stage thereby getting seduced and hence impregnating all the members of the church.. e.g Pastor paedophile chris oyakhilome..

Do Christian students take holy communion in public schools?
Do female Catholic students wear the attire of a nun to public schools?
Have you ever seen a student wearing a white garment to school ?
Do you see my point?

From ur first point, u may nt knw bt Sat amd Sun as weekend as everything to do wit religion. We are being colonised by British which is a xtain nation comin wit their missionaries to spread xtianity, also many element of the constitution has some under tone of xtianity in it.
In countries like UAE, Qatar and saudi arabia, their weekend is Friday and Sat, wat will u say abt that?

sarutobie:

...and he conveniently sidesteps the remaining points, especially the last one..typical.

lionstone:
Is wearing hijab the solution to the problem? Every school have there own policy if u can't comply then u go somewhere else. Afterall education is sinful to u, if u don't want to go allow others to not by force.

Typical of wat? When it is that non muslims are nt allowed to comment on muslims thread? I hav seen alot of non muslims comment on Islam thread, while some are there to learn, some just want to derail d thread and show their outright hatred to Islam and Muslims. Its even muslims I hardly see making comment on xtain thread.
