If they change the law for this Muslim girl, then they must change it for so many other religions. Not like the nonsense that goes on in Nairaland religion section where I have to swear to some useless oath before commenting on that section. But they the Muslims are free to comment on Christian topics.

U dey mind nairaland. As for this girl she's a joke. If Christians decided to start flying their various logos, Nigeria go close down..

was that not the intepretation you was tought, was the the original script?

yes original, Qur'an and Hadith are the originals.

naturally is becoming, or do you saw her with sword?

Why didn't she obey the law and let it happen naturally as u claimed?

I would like you to tell us the practical implications of the beret for their profession?

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!

I agree she has right to wear her hijab under secular right(it depends) but I will disagree if she violated the dressing code of the courtroom because it's against her religion, reason because this might disorganized everything about the court house, imagine a Catholic wearing her veil to the bar, an ifa worshipper wearing her white gele, cele lady wearing her white cap and so on.

If this just and fairness can be allowed in the court house(that anybody can wear thier religious, traditional attire) then, I've no problem with Firdaus protest.

U.S for example don't really have dress code for lawyers, if Nigeria constitution wants to adopt U.S system, I've no problem with that.

Her move is not wise and not beneficial.

I do nt know anything about the 5 pillers of Islam and how it relates to other religion, but waht Im saying is there are basic laws that governs good and bad

I am asking about military beret. You seemed to suggest theirs had implications while the barristers head gears don't. I was just curious.

smoy:
may Allah straighten and strengthen your faith. proud of you.

is there a reward for wearing a hijab? how does what a person wear relate to his faith in God?? those it mean that Muslims who do not wear hijab are faithless?

blackbeau1:
You wore the hijab because you are a bigot and wanted to start up a religious war

Leave the mumu ..she has been brainwashed...she will suffer for nothing..

AgentOfAllah:


What are you on about? What institution is responsible for certifying her as a barrister? Please educate yourself by reading the [url=http://www.nigeria-law.org/Legal%20Education%20(Consolidation,%20etc.)%20Act.htm]Legal Education Act[/url]. Pay especial attention to section 5, where it states that "A person shall be entitled to have a qualifying certificate issued to him by the Council stating that he is qualified to be called to Bar if-"...

Yes they certify but they don't do the calling. Do they?

Why didn't she obey the law and let it happen naturally as u claimed?

did she blow any body or threaten any with weapon? she was there naturally for her right. what do you call natural pls.

Tugsramm:
so u ar expecting english. Aleast doesn't reduce or add to d value of naira. maybe wen u become president u can remove .suppose nt to cause uproar

You speak in Favour of things that favours your religion.
You are not thinking like a normal person. Your post is selfish.

smoy:

So hijab is her right? Even when its is clearly stated that ur ears must be outside during call to bar? Forget that question u just asked.u and I know that's how u jihadists starts.

Does She Wear Hijab While Giving Head To Her Fvck Boiz And Alhajis? Why Didnt She Protest D Mandatory Dress Code For For Law Students During Her Undergraduate Days? Or Yet Still, Go To A Sharia Law School. Who Is She Even Hiding Her Ugly Face From? Uwaafid

forzarush:
Raise your hand over your head and give yourself a knock. she is not ' the Muslim sisters that (has) have been called before her' and as to whether or not they are inferior,you should know since you seem to think you and your 'people pointers' know about Islam. Goan carry dictionary and look up the word fanatism.

Ur point is useless abeg

for the good and bad and general morals Islam still perfect that of Moses. For many things were not elaborated and mentioned to Moses, e.g God asked Mose to give the poor, but how it was only don randomly apart from 10 pec, but Islam gives more insight to giver and the receivers. secondly inheritance was not well pronounced for Moses but God gave Muhammad the full calculations. etc

No.peace is not the absence of conflict.
So it's not a feel good theory where someone wants to bend the law so as to please few and avoid conflict

they all have faith but in certain percentage to others, though some even without Hijab might be stronger than that hijabit sister in her faith but the reward that accomplish the injunction of Allah consigning hijab shall only receive by the one that uses it. secondly the hijabit sister is more preserved in these manners; skin protection, oppressors, etc above all, more reward from Allah for following rules of Allah.

Obashlino:
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

You are so on point

True! Imagine the NBA President posting his daughter's pix online to show she wore hijab and so f@cking what? everything they'll be playing the victim using religion as a cover but the things they should rise up against, they won't

SalamRushdie:
So she intentionally set out to go the bar ceremony to cause problems being the the Adherent of the religion of peace she is ..I maintain this silly girl is being sponsored for Bigger agenda by people within the NBA and the govt who in coming months will make Hijab wearing okay for female muslim lawyers and Judges in our common law courts...just watch and see

dhardline:
I won't be surprised if she was put up to do this by some Muslim clerics just to arm twist the masses to forcefully do their bidding. They use human right as a front but once they get a grip of what they need they take Human Rights away and force their religion down the throats of the people.As the Holy Bible says 'they keep the outside of the cup clean but the inside remains filthy' juxtapose that to someone who wears hijab but boldly insults those advising her to take it off.

REPENT

then what is the bases of Muslims and other coming together to agreed to live together with the tolerance of ones religion, where is then our tolerance?

First tolerate the law of an Institution first....before bringing religion into ot

You are proving me right here.This same God spoke to both person Moses and Mohamed, aknowledged in both Holy books, so the discripancies where created by men fru intepretations.

Maezara:
Trying to use another profession as an example.

It's a poor example, sorry! I am not arguing against uniformity, I am arguing for the accommodation of religious diversity in the national institutions of a secular country. The Nigerian army is just as culpable as the law school in this regard. Look, hijab is clearly something that some religious people feel very strongly about. It takes nothing, absolutely nothing away from uniformity, nor does it change the overall character of your uniform anymore than wearing a wig, or having a mole on your face does.

No. I'm making the argument that DRESSING has NO practical implications for their profession. I may choose to put on other smart clothing other than camo, and still wear my vests and other equipments. But, should that be allowed because it wouldn't affect my performance? The camo is just a piece of clothing that is worn for the sake of identity. I can even put on the camo and add another piece of clothing---like the Hijab, for example. And some of my colleagues may also decide to put on whatever they like. It wouldn't prevent them from performing their duties afterall, so, it should be allowed, right?

Please write out the full spelling of camo and tell me what it means, thanks!

But, why? What stops the others from also putting on whatever they like or is SACRED to them, if the Hijab is approved?

Nothing! People should be able to put on whatever is sacred to them, unless it is obviously impractical. You cannot send a deeperlife devotee to war in a long skirt, for instance.

See, I'm not debating the army, so forgive my reluctance to go down a rabbit hole that will only prolong this conversation unnecessarily. Firdaus is not a soldier, she is a lawyer, and she is fighting for her right in her chosen profession. If a hijabi lady who wishes to join the army comes out to fight for her right to wear the hijab while practicing her profession, I will give her my full support! Such anachronistic and discriminatory rules have no place in the national institutions of a secular country.

hijab is her constitutional right.

And it is against the law of law school
