She wasn't the only Muslim called to bar I guess. Just saying cos I know some Muslim's that were called to bar and they dressed according to the profession. Lawyers I know have laid down dress code and to be accepted into the profession you need to abide to it. We all knew this before going for the profession.

A Muslim lady was denied being called to the Nigerian bar for wearing a Hijab!

Here’s what fellow lawyer @savvy_ruqqy wrote;

Good morning everyone,
I want to use this medium to express my dissatisfaction with the way muslims are treated in this my profession called ‘LAW’. A sister wasn’t called to the bar because she was dressed like that (Picture above) please for God sake what is wrong with that picture? Because she was putting on a small hijab tucked into her collarette, WHY?
What has Hijab done to them?
Where is our freedom of Religion as stated in the constitution?
We need justice…For those that don’t know, Hijab is a MANDATORY part of my religion not just a piece of clothing, so if my freedom of religion is said to have been guaranteed in section 38 of the constitution of my country that is said to be supreme and have have binding force over all as seen in section 1 of this same constitution and Section 42 of this same constitution guarantees my right to freedom from discrimination, please for God sake what is this then and before you come here attack me, please read section 38 (1) and section 1 (1) first and also go ahead to read S1 (3) of this same constitution with an unbiased mind where it is said that if any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this constitution this constitution shall prevail…B’iko what are we now talking about?
Please we want justice.
We want our hijab
we want #JusticeForFirdaus
We want to wear our hijabs for call to bar
we want to wear it in the court room.
Stop the discrimination
We are muslims not terrorists
Hijab is Mandatory
We want Justice for Firdaus

Islam is the most peaceful religion on earth. Forget western propaganda against Muslims

Junny04:

It's not a ruse....she finished from my school, same faculty....

She failed her exam abeg!

This people should stop being sentimental about and not turn themselves to mischief makers, from day one of her resumption in law school she must have known this fact that hijabs arent allowed at the call, it didnt change even when northerners were CJNs.

These Muslims only wants to cause tension in this country and I bet then that whatsoever their plans are, they'll never come to light. BAN ISLAM and other deceitful religions NOW!!!

we lik to carry dis religion of a thing on our head!

cant that thing be drop for a moment?

Nairalanddist:




Why do u hate Islam

Because you hate everyone else. Those who are not Muslims mean nothing to you. Their lives are valueless to you. And don't come here with that "Taquiya" (I know I spelt it wrongly) trash because deep down within you, you know the truth.

African mind and religious bigotry, you should have gone to study Islamic law where hijab is allowed, If all religion is allowed will there not be confusion where cele and cherubim person will wear sutanner and prayer cap, and all masquerade surnamed person will come with their own regelia and IFA people will come with their own white apparels.

9iceboi:
If u claim to be a lawyer then u will certainly have heard of RPC- rules of professional conduct. Do u know that there are other religions that have other apparels they wear. A nun was called to the bar in my set and she didn't appear as one.

Don't mind them. They always cry of being victimized.

Islam is peace brother. Embrace Islamic teachings and see changes in your life

the secular Law is not supposed to be biased, wearing a hijab already gives it a religious bias.

It's well known & Stated b4 u entered into the ECOWAS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER ABUJA dat Hijab is not allowed or permitted by either guest or the Inductee purposely because All the Bombing in diz country are being carried out by the Hijabian pple.

It's not a discrimination but laid down rules

There is difference between punishments and discipline.

Zaikon:


That's says?


Comment without sentiment. Why bringing religion ? is she a pagan


And pls what are the rules?

Are you telling me uve not seen law students at their faculty. Please try and pay a visit to their faculty.

lol peace indeed.y not tell us how islam was spread in nigeria . violent jihad. Can u tell us why islam says 4 wives bt muhamma had over 10

Nairalanddist:

What changes have occurred in your life? What changes have occurred in the lives of the children roaming about in Zaria, Samaru, zuba, etc with plates under the rain and sun begging for food?
What changes have occurred in the lives of the underage girls you under the pretext of religion give out for marriage only to divorce them when they are a bit older by pronouncing Talaq 3 times?
What changes have Islam brought to the most backward region in Nigeria?
What changes have Islam brought to the families who have lost loved ones to Islamic fanatics and extremists?
What changes have Islam brought to the world at large in the last century?

No injustice was done to her

Peole need to understand organizational and work ethics. Removing her hijab for few minutes wouldn't make her less a Muslim, law school's calling her to bar with her hijab negates the norms of the legal profession, she made her choice. When she's realize that she will bow to the rule and not the rule to her,she should try again maybe next year.

Even the good books says obey those in authority.
She isn't better than the Muslims that removed their hijabs,not in anyway better!
Rather she's succeeded in creating chaos through willful disobedience, she knew she'll be required to remove her hijab,and she's said within and without her that she won't. Jsmh... a person who knows the law and breaks it on purpose.

Alcatraz005:


The message even a ruse! Who would ban a Muslim from being called to bar under Buhari?

The Muslims are firmly in control for now so I don’t see the possibility of this happening. This is another ploy to inflame tension and sentiment amongst our Muslim population. Soon MURIC will start threatening everybody by writing meaningless articles.

All Nigerians should ignore this rubbish message meant to rile some people up.

Exactly

Islam is terror. Islamic teachings is having its manifestation in Bornu. That is the change Islam brought upon the people of North east.

When President Buhari's daughter was called to bar she dressed in her attire without her hijab, why dis one wan con do her own dress code. Abegi

FRIDAUSA AMASA VS NIGERIA LAW SCHOOL: Nigeria Lawyer Shares Wife’s Experiences In US Military Training School

ON HIJAB, LAW SCHOOL AND CALL TO BAR

Legend Lens
14th December, 2017

“Meanwhile sources at the ICC stated that before the ceremonies were to begin, all Muslims were respectfully asked to remove their hijabs prior to entering the hall. This request was complied with by all the Muslims present except Amasa Firdaus who vehemently refused to remove hers. In the process of her protests and despite entreaties made to her by other Muslims she was denied entry into the hall by the Body of Benchers. During the ceremony, a Respected former Chief Justice of Nigeria also met with Amasa Firdaus to convince her to remove her hijab but she did not heed the pleadings as she reiterated that even at gun point she would never remove her Hijab…” (Culled from a Nigerian Law Blog site).
-----------------------------------------------

Dear Amasa Firdaus, I want to address you. Please allow me share a brief story with you so that you may be inspired and remain resolute.

In 2015, my wife, a Soldier with the US Army, was told at the Army Annual Training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, United States �� that she either take off her Hijab or leave the Annual Training. My wife insisted that her Hijab is part of her and she will never remove it to please anyone or authority. Exactly like you reportedly insisted. Eventually, she was told to leave and she left the Annual Training. After the conclusion of the annual training, her Military unit said she cannot return….At another point, she was invited back to the drill and she went there with her Hijab � on her head. Again, she was told she cannot use her Hijab and she had to leave and she left. Away from the limelight she fought this vehemently by escalating the issue to the top echelon of the command. We prepared a memo to the authorities explaining why she should be allowed to use her Hijab �.
She was away for almost a year but eventually and in end, the Army Secretary under President Obama released a new regulation allowing the use of Hijab. It was a glorious moment. Her decision to remain undaunted paved the way for others who will come after her. Suddenly, the fight was worth it. All those period she had to cry became a thing of joy. We were elated that her resolve to remain undaunted finally paid off. Today, she proudly wears her Hijab on her uniform, attends her drill sessions and performs well. She’s a badass solider who’ll soon be commissioned as an officer and I’m so darn proud of her.
That is my message to you today Firdaus. You have a made a huge sacrifice and I cannot begin to imagine how sad you feel that the profession you so much look forward to joining has asked you to choose between your faith and your call to bar. You must be so disappointed that Nigeria let you down. I bet you also feel that your Muslim colleagues who took off their Hijabs � when ordered to do so should have stood firm and maybe when they realise that none of you is willing to break rank, they’d have allowed you all to use your Hijab. I get the feeling of sadness. But don’t be. You’re a hero.
You have once again reignited the conversation that has been on for years. You have brought our attention to the way the Nigerian Law School and Council of Legal Education who are empowered to train new lawyers show flagrant disregard to your rights under S. 38 of the constitution. Your courage and sacrifice remind me of that of my wife. You call to bar may have been delayed but in the end, Justice will prevail and it won’t be denied. Please, cheer up! The road ahead will be tough but Allah will strengthen and ease that burden for you.
To your friends and family, this is the time to rally round one of your own and give her all the support she needs. Her decision to fight this injustice is not stupid. Heroes are not always in uniform.
To my lawyer colleagues, once again, we have been called to task. How do we explain it that the Nigerian Law School & Council of Legal Education who are empowered to train new lawyers will themselves refuse to obey the judgments of the Court? Does that not worry us? As a Lawyer, I’m extremely disappointed. Several courts including the Court of Appeal in the case of Lagos State v Aisha Abdulkareem held that the use of Hijab � is a constitutional and fundamental right and no one can take it away. Also in Abidemi Rasaq & ors V. Commissioner for Health Lagos State suit no ID/424M/2004, the Lagos State High Court held that a circular issued by Lagos State School of Health Technology banning students from wearing Hijab � is unconstitutional. Similarly in the case of Provost Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin V. Basirat Saliu suit no CA/IL/49/2009, the learned Justices of the Court of Appeal held that the use of Hijab � by female Muslims qualifies as a fundamental right under Section 38 of the Constitution.
Despite all these decisions, the Nigerian Law School and by extension the Council of Legal Education continues to victimize Muslim Law Student who chose to cover their hair by threatening not to call them to Nigerian Bar. Are we really going to debate this issue from our religious googles or be objective and err on the side of common sense and humanity?
To MULAN and other Muslim Senior Lawyers and Judges, I once read that the Elders have said that they needed just one person who’s willing to face the consequences and stand her ground to wear her Hijab and they will take it up. Now Amasa Firdaus has given herself up. Will you fail her?

You are a lost soul. Bye

What some Muslims want is not freedom, what they want is special treatment. And that aren't gonna happen

Are u one ? If yes then quote the quote.

Thanks

The law is above any religion . Obey the law Ist. Besides, it's the way Islam is practiced in this country limits them to so many things most especially education. Even countries that Islam originated from have gone far in education and technology than us. Okay now that she wasn't called to bar who lost. Was she the only Muslim ??
