It is not a veiled threat. it is the voice of a per-meditated violent attack on a society that allows Religion (the various cacophonous voices of various Gods) to Rule over Constitution (The Voice of the People). Anyone who does not recognize this line of reasoning COHI and MSSN are towing is simply ignoring the elephant in the room

Change that encourages Death and Intolerance or one that encourages Peace and Togetherness. Religious Diversity is a good ideal. see what good it has done to far more socially mature societies like Sweden and "Great" Britain in recent times. , what about France? If you are going to be fair, then all students from different religious leanings should were what their religion prescribes to School.

ochukwuma15: Protecting your right is good but they should concern themselves more with the quality of moslem graduates coming out from the secondry and tertiary institutions.

I have some of them as friends, many graduates, especially those from northern part of Nigeria can't write any other thing except their name. Some can't speak English even at gun point. If you're not speaking Hausa, fulani or kanuri to them, then you're on your own.

It's wiser you don't cover your head (which always extends and covers their ears also) during classes so that what your teacher is saying will get to your brain.

When you get to your church or mosque as the case may be, or when you're in the comfort of your home,then you can cover your head, eye, nose, mouth, ear and brain. .......... Chuks still writes from Enugu, Nigeria.

what proof do you have that their religions have prescriptions?

or they want 2 start having because Muslims have it?

AbuHanifa: Press Release:
Hijab crisis: COHI warns Lagos govt against reneging on agreements with MSSN
The Council of Higher Institutions (COHI), an arm of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, (MSSN) Lagos State Area Unit, has advised the Lagos State Government not to renege on the agreement it reached with the society following last Thursday’s mass protest in Alausa against the victimisation of Muslim students using hijab in secondary schools by their principals.

The group warned that reneging on the agreements may result to the disruption of the relative peace being enjoyed in the state at the moment.

The Assistant General Secretary of the MSSN Lagos State Area Unit, Mr Sulaimon Dhikrillah, who addressed the press today at the society’s secretariat in Yaba on the hijab crisis, said the group was not out to fight the state government but to demand the recognition and protection of the rights of Muslims as guaranteed by the country’s constitution.

He said the state government had agreed to issue a circular to stop the school authorities and teachers from molesting Muslim girls over the use of hijab.
He added that the government representatives at the meeting on Thursday presented evidences that investigation had commenced in the case of Principal of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute-Metta, who allegedly administer 43 strokes of cane on a JSS 1 student over hijab, and pledged to follow it to a logical conclusion.

Dhikrillah, however, accused state government of alleged sponsoring of those he described as ‘unknown elements’ who he said had been going on air to ‘possibly create confusion in the minds of the public regarding what we are fighting for.’

‘The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit is known for peace and we have always been peaceful in the manner we carry out our activities.
‘We are only demanding that our constitutionally guaranteed right should not be denied us. We will not resort to lawlessness but at the same time we will not relent until justice is done,’ he said.

Speaking on the case of Mrs Elizabeth Omidele, Principal, Mafoluku Senior Grammar School, Oshodi who allegedly removed hijab on an SSS 3 student, Bareerah Tajudeen, outside the school premises and also suspended her, Dhikrillah revealed that the principal had recalled Bareerah under a stringent condition.

‘The principal has coerced Bareera to signing an undertaken antithetical to this resolution more so she was made to serve punishment on the assembly for the same reason. It is our further request that the government should call the principal of Mafoluku to order in the spirit of justice,’ he said.

Concerning the demand that hijab should be part of uniform for Muslim students in Lagos State, Dhikrillah said the government representatives promised to table it before the State Executive Council meeting on March 3rd (Monday).

It would be recalled that members of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit had on Thursday February 28, 2013, stormed the state governor office in Alausa in protest against victimisation of Muslim girls using hijab in state secondary schools by their principals. The protest lasted over eight hours before an agreement was reached.

Sorry, i had to quote everything but i'm I the only 1 that read the statement in Bold? Is COHL or MSSN Threatening the Lagos Government - the Nigerian People in General?
I have a lot of things to say about muslims and their ways in general but i'm not in the mood to type on ma keyboard - maybe another time

lagerwhenindoubt: Unfortunately it is these associations who claim to uphold righteous (fair) judgement on religious matters in government institutions that spark intolerance and also build the foundations for hatred at a very young age. we won't be around when these youths start slaughtering each other and society in general because of their dress-sense.. it will be a religious matter then just as it is now. Uniform uniforms are there for one reason, UNIFY different groups and create a sense of oneness and social bonding and identity (especially at that age).

Youths also recognize when someone is different from the accepted norm. they are either seen as elitist or isolationist or or ethno-racists, either way it is better to have a united school of young children than one where hate breeds and flourishes. If you wish to wear a hijab as a matter of religion, go to an all Islamic School where those virtues are held in the highest regard. This will allow you the benefit of a good education in a peaceful environment with peers that accept you for who you are not how you dress.

jude33084:


Man you have spoken well,....I wonder what kind of hate τhis guys are building up?

I dont think τhis call will ever work because the moment you give the female muslims the right to use hijab, Aladura and shango worshipers will come up with their own religion dress code supported by the constitution in nigeria.

daontop: coolheed:
You are missing a vital point here. The issue
at hand relate to a public school funded by
the taxpayers irrespective of religion. Why
will you deny any religion the benefit of
attending a public school. Muslims are
saying that hijab is a fundamental component
of their religious belief and this is supported
by the country's constitution. Any dress code
that violates a constitutional right should be
revisited. Again, dialogue with key
stakeholders appears ...


frm my previous post, thr was no place i said dat muslims shld be denied frm attendin a public skul.. bt my opinion is dat thr shld be a demarcatn btw govt nd religion... Nigeria includin lagos which is 1of her child is a secular state. if muslimz r sayn hijab is a fundamental component of thr religion, r u nw sayn masquerade carryn nd use of charm is nt a fundamental component of d traditnal religion nd wearn of white garment is nt a fundamental component of d celestial churches nd use of orange-green lik apron used by the Lords chosen is nt a fundamental component of thr sect nd nt suppotd by d constitutn? if d state shld allow d muslim gals 2wear thr hijab 2skul den dey shld also be ready 2allow d traditnalist 2wear his masquerade 2skul nd trust oda religiouz groups, dey may even bring snake 2skul all in d name of religion...... rest my case

chief batiatus: So what the muslims are saying is that its their right to wear hijab in school? Okay please can any muslim in the house tell me what he or she thinks if white garment church also come for their right to wear white cap on the uniform? Then followed by traditionalists like where am from who wear red cap, so can they exercise their own right too? Then and so on and so forth the state begins to grant all religious groups their rights in the public school dress code, so in the end will there be need for a uniform? So please one of you muslims tell us

udatso:
4 God sake, pls reason like a human. Hijab is worn by muslims irrespectv of place and event...u av seen presenters on national tv using veil or hijab....d white garment is worn for worship nt a dressing code...I ask u dis, can u also wear d white garment/ bare footed to ur work area too..dnt b ridiculous
