see who's talking. Did your ancestors wear suit,shirt and trousers, or you are just been a slave to the white man's culture?? By the way, if you go study the arabs ancient culture, and you get yourself more enlightened about Islam and the hijab, you'll know that wearing of hijab has always been an islamic obligation,and places where islam has had its roots for centuries do not differentiate between Islam and their mode of life and living. I see your confusion, but try and seek more knowledge, and dont just swallow up whatever you see or hear.
ARAB CULTURE IS NOT ISLAM DON'T B DAFT.

Okija_juju: I thought Boko Haram said western Education was bad: They should go to Almajiri schools where Hijab is allowed jor!! angry

As a Native doctor we have a dresscode, but I never carried my staff of office or cowry beads to schools.

Religion is not grounds for disobidience. Their is a separation between Religion and state. If you want to wear your religous paraphenelia to school, then go to a religous school.

This kind of thing should not be encouraged in public schools. This is also why I have been against Christian Prayers during assemblies and office meetings.

We Nigerians are very badly behaved, both Christians & Muslims alike.
d religion of peace truth... Why always ISLAM?

Re: Muslim Students Protest Discrimination Against Hijab In Lagos by naptu2: 5:25pm On Feb 28, 2013
I pray pyguru doesn't ban me.

Section 10 of the constitution of Nigeria 1999 prevents the government from declaring a state religion. But it doesn't make Nigeria a secular state (that notion is gotten from the american constitution).

As the supreme court justice said, "Nigeria is a multi-religious state, not a secular state".

2) Section 38 (fundamental rights) gives citizens the right "to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance." The girls are manifestly observing their religion by wearing the hijab.

3) Section 42 prevents discrimination on the grounds of sex, religion, etc. You cannot allow some people to observe their religious injunctions and prevent others (subject to natural justice of course).

Although all we are doing is academic because Justice Joseph Olubunmi Oyewole has ruled and that's the law today.

Hypocrites.

U r a clown! If we want masquerades in classrooms, we know exactly where to get some. We all come from various ethnic d religious backgrounds, rich in numerous dresscodes. Do I have to wear a cassock to the classroom because I practice Christianity? Besides, what the hell are u guys looking for in schools? I thought u are supposed to "say no to western education".

Uve got more than enough cows to milk...so Bleep off!

1. The girl did nothing to contravene the law... So all that is needed is an enforcement of the law.

2. No one is disrupting the peace, they held a protest to air their grievances, Last time i checked, they are allowed to do that.

Think before commenting.

thats what you dont understand. The Hijab is an Islamic wear, not an Arabian wear. So why do you have to mix both together? We wear it to obey God's injuction, not to copy a particular nation. So, you talking about muslims being slaves to arabian culture is off the grid, it applies more to you and your people, you copy the west because you just cant help being enslaved by them. I dont know if you see the difference now, between what we do and wear, and what you do and wear. It isnt a means to condemn any form of clothing, but you should understand the difference between religious obligation and voluntary choices. Btw, you've got very minute sense of modesty in your way of speaking, now you'll tell me you are a 'christian'.hmmm...smh

I thk hijab shud be allowed 4 muslim stds to wear since the stds re still wearing the skul uniform.

More on section 10. It does not prevent citizens from publicly observing their religion. Rather, it prevents government from declaring that a particular religion as state religion and discriminating against people who do not believe in that religion.

There are always prayers before state occasions in Nigeria. At the beginning of the judicial year, judges attend interdenominational christian and muslim services, etc.

Re: Muslim Students Protest Discrimination Against Hijab In Lagos by tbaba1234: 5:50pm On Feb 28, 2013
The proper Islamic term is khimar. hijab is what we Muslims have made popular over the years.

In pre Islamic Arabia, the women wore head scarfs, but that was about it. Parts of the bosom was left exposed.

The Quran ordered believing women to draw this covering over the bosoms. As a result, Muslim women are required to cover these parts of their body.

What Muslim wear today is nothing like that of pre Islamic Arabia. The only similarity is that the head is covered.

It is a requirement for Muslim women except the young or the old because it is a direct command.


The above is for those claiming historical knowledge. It is an Islamic wear.

For the sisters, who do not have the courage or Iman to wear it. I pray Allah helps you.

The hijab is a sign of obedience. IT IS AN ISLAMIC INJUNCTION.

in islam, seeking knowledge is obligatory on every muslim male or female, so whether it is in a western or eastern school, provided it is knowledge, you have to seek and find it. You really dont know much,do you? Well,tis the reason why most xtians' mode of thinking is myopic. You limit yourselves when it comes to all round knowledge,the best you know is abuse and criticize.

Some comments on this thread are unfair.. Because the present uniform system favours some people, they are trying to deny others there right. Hijab is very crucial in Islam.. It's explicitly stated in the sharia so other laws must make room for it.. There is freedom of dressing in the nigrian law.. What if Christians are forced to wear Hijab? Will they not react?... We should be objective when we are making statements
