AgentOfAllah:
I have seen many claims on here that wearing hijab to one's call to bar is against the law, but I have yet to see anybody cite the specific law that is being violated. This is not about Amasa's religion, it's about her secular rights, and in this case, the law school, in spite of its unique position as the nurturer of Nigeria's judicial institution, is evidently the erring party here. The law school should ferociously adhere to, and promote the spirit of Nigeria's constitution, not brazenly violate it, as it has done against this young lady. I'm happy she's brave enough to stand her ground, and I stand with Amasa Firdaus!
Opinions stink. Herewith is a picture of a female officer in the American Army putting on hijjab without no confrontation. It wasn't allowed before Obama but now, it is. How did they do it? Fighting for it. Same thing this girl's doing. A fundamentalist Female Muslim without Hijjab is naked. That's what this is all about.

Asing for uniformity is NOT taking away her right to practice her religion.

FunkyAlhaji2015:
This is a much bigger issue than what this girl is looking at. Every institution has its code and conduct. The Nigerian Law School has there dress code, so does NYSC. The NYSC dress code of wearing trousers is against a lot of Christians faithful, but they have to wear to fulfil the clarion call. A lot of religious bigot want to bring in controversy in everything. Law is a respectable profession that should not be dragged into the mud by religious bigots.

this is a very brilliant comment

if she received proper home training, she won't disgrace her family in that prominent convention



if I'm Muslim and my daughter do such, she won't bring such shame home to meet me



one thing why i can't convert to Muslim is because of their intolerance and dominant nature

what are you proud of her for.

she's a Muslim, she should be asking for her right in the Sharia court, because women have no right in the Sharia court.

so you mean she should have worn a hijab for inauguration?

Women have a right in Islam in and out of the Sharia Court.

Hijab is COMPULSORY, Olodo.

Easy with the rush. What's the worst that will happen if she doesn't wear it. The Muslim sisters that has been called before her, are they inferior Muslims to her.
The law doesn't permit it. If it doesn't go down well with her let her find another profession. Stop the fanatism. Some people pointed out sharia courts (women like yourselves are not even permitted to be sharia lawyers)

Why not fight for your right first as your are being alienated by your own religion.

Dear miss Amasa firdaus, I don't have anything with you but kindly respond to my question accordingly.

Do you have an international passport?

if yes, did you remove your hijab when you took the passport?

if no, would you remove your hijab if you want to take international passport having known that you can't take it with your hijab?

if you can take away your​ hijab away for few minutes during which the passport is taken then why can't you take it off as well during the "call to bar ceremony"

morealso, if the code of conduct is amended so to say. what should be the fate of other faithfuls like christians, traditional worshippers e.t.c because they have their own mode of dressing as well.


furthermore, what would your stance be if you're to judge a case affiliated to islam and other religion(s) and the islam person(s) is found guilty based on your religious belief?

these are my few questions begin for answers

Do solemly respond


Hijab is very much accepted for int'l Passport.

And I have never seen anyone cited where it's written hijab is not accepted during call to Bar

Do you need a Christian State to practise Christianity or an Islamic State? Let be objective and tolerant of others' religious and social view and stop being unnecessarily biased. It is so pathetic that many People have lost their sense of humanity and reasoning. Shame on you. What a waste

The reference to New York doesn’t have any merits and it is like comparing apples with oranges.

Lawyers in the US don’t have uniform or a proscribed way of dressing even in court. No wig, no cap, no regalia, nothing....you are only require to dress professionally to respect the court and for male, a nice suite and tie is just good enough.

In Nigeria, lawyers are mandated by law to dress certain way period!
