shymexx: ^^^Why are you always smiling?

You must be the happiest Nler ever!

babe_online:
I guess I am. By the way what is your take on the issue?

shymexx:

Erm...I think it's the right thing to do. We need to separate the school from religion and kids should adhere strictly to the dress code of the schools. Anyone that feels slighted or doesn't agree with this, should take his or her kids to religious schools where such is allowed.

Edited: eyes are drowsy as fvck!!

Do you know that Oman, Egypt and some other muslim countries have a higher rape percentage than the US and even Nigeria ( even if you say maybe Nigerian women don't report I can assure you that american women do, probably even more that in muslim countries where there is a big stigma attached to rape. Rape most times is not about dressing but rather about power and dominating women.

All the examples you are giving are of religions and religious figures, Lagos state is a secular state. Why are muslims so unable to understand that religion has no place in certain places. For example a lady was sent out of NYSC camp for wearing trousers and most Christians here agreed with the organisation. When you enter an organisation such as a school or NYSC you must abide by its rules one of which is wearing its stipulated uniform. If you cannot comply for whatever reason you are free to stay true to your beliefs and leave.

Those talking about uniforms been tight are not making any sense as uniforms are not provided by the school. As a parent you can ensure that your child's uniform is decent.

Land_of_M&H:


There is more jails and prisons in America than in anywhere else in the world. Some states in America have more penal institutions than the combined total for all 36 states of Nigeria. The number one crime for inmates is assault on women, either physical rape, vicious attack, battery, murder, abuse, kidnap and so on.....

Secularity is a foreign philosophy to our culture. African cultures are intimately spiritual and divinely uplifting. There's nothing uplifting in the feminity of a woman who opens cleavage or give a revealing profile of her figure in public glare. Nothing! If we want to go by way of secular practice, then we are better advised to also start building more jails and prisons to accomodate the increased violation of women's rights to safety and security.

mekaboy:

Here you go again, what makes you say the law is targeted at muslims? Is your religion superior to that of those who abide by the rules of the school and stick to uniforms?

What does uniform mean? Everybody must look identical, no difference. It is a symbol of equality, unity, fairness. The moment u put hijab on it, the uniformity is gone. You are now showing superiority and inequality.

So the law is not targeting anyone, simply design to promote unity in public schools.

BinghiNya:
3. Hijab is meant to cover the head and the bosom and nothing more, a check on the uniforms of these girls show a lot of tight fitting body hugging stuffs they can't even bend down properly.

BinghiNya:
4. Christianity of these times allows for exposure of the unmentionables.

BinghiNya:
5. Jesus christ covered his head as a man but your women find it hard to do same.

BinghiNya:
6. Why do Rev. Sisters wear their capes even in public schools.

BinghiNya:
7. Why do christians pray on the assembly when the school is not a church.

BinghiNya:
8. Why don't christians go to school on sunday like muslims do on fridays.

BinghiNya:
9. Will you fools honestly allow your daughters expose her body to wicked males out there whether in school or not.

phemmyutd: building mosque in government offices should also be ban

superstar1: The question I am posting to all of u defending this hijab wearing in school is, how will you feel seeing your children in the same class with an ifa child with palm fronds on her waisy,cowries on her fore head and White powder or chalk on her face, all in the name of her exercising her choice of religion?

If government decide to create a Moslem school or Christian school, the traditional worshippers too have equal and full right to demand same, likewise the atheist. In as much as they are tax payers too.

Be objective, civil and holistic in your view of things. For the MSS people making noise, the government policy has stated in policy documents for uniform in government schools clearly states what a school uniform should be. If any court rules that hijab must be allowed, definitely palm fronds, sutana, rosary, holy water, and pasting of religious programme posters on school uniform has become admissible and we shall witness a ununiform uniformity in our schools.

moscobabs:
As building churches also should be ban from government offices.hypocrite!!!!

babyosisi: If you want hijab,go and school in Zamfara
Na so e dey start from hijab to jihad

okpara ugo: Fashola is not a true moslem.

Allahu Akbar!!!

Based on the constitution, people should be allowed to do this if their religion requires it, off course it would have to be backed by evidence that the religion actually requires it. Its called TOLERANCE

Why do some Nigerians still type like this [size=15pt]this is irritating[/size], i won't even try to read whatever you typed. We know you are using a blackberry, its no longer a big deal/thing, even secondary school kids are using it.

deols: These people have started again.


All I know is, we shall OVERCOME someday.

seyi42k: The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." (Genesis 16:11-12)

This is the source of all their belligerence. Their actions are driven by a greater spiritual purpose that they themselves cannot define. They claim victimization yet insist on illogical & ill thought out actions.

They say hijab is islamic but they are wrong, it is the traditional wear of middle easterns and that is why even jews are found wearing a form of it.

They want it in public schools, therefore Sango practitioners should have their sons plait hair to school, the ifa practitioners should have their children add the religious outfit to their uniforms. and what of the Ogbonis, the okijas, the animist. Yet even these other 'backward' religion know when to draw the line.

They are usually present at every flash point of note in the world today. Don't be suprised that they will get their way in Lagos. But don't despair either because just like the hen that has landed on a rope, both the hen and the rope will not have rest.

They want to use Lagos as a testing ground for this case. Should they succeed, don't be surprised that they will take it to the whole of the country. Make no mistake, [size=15pt]this is not about the students or their rights, this is about religion[/size] using politics as a driver with sponsors that can be traced back to the Arab world.
