Drama As Minister’s Wife Refuses To Remove Hijab For MTN Registration (photos) by Bigpicture(f): 9:04pm On Jan 20, 2016 |
A mild drama played out at an MTN registration outlet in Abuja when a certain Muslim woman refused to remove her ‘hijab’ to complete her SIM registration process. Following the fine imposed on MTN by the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, for having about 5 million unregistered SIMs in its network, it started another round of SIM cards registration in the country to meet up with the January deadline. At the Garki II, Lagos street MTN outlet, a Yoruba-speaking Muslim woman covered with hijab, refused security search at the entrance to the registration centre. We gathered that the Muslim woman said she will not unveil herself before she will gain access into an office ‘in her own country.’ A police officer, who was acting on instructions to check every customer before they gained access into the office, told a reporter that, “This woman is a suspect. “How can you come to a public place dressed like this and you expect to gain access into an office that is not yours? “No one knows what she has under her veil. She may be carrying a bomb, who knows? “This is the reason why we insisted on searching her and she claimed she is a Minister’s wife,” the officer said. Meanwhile, the purported Minister’s wife gained access into the office through the intervention of one of the MTN staff who identified herself simply as Zainab. Zainab, the front desk Manager, said the unidentified woman asked to be privately attended to as she cannot unveil herself in public. According to her, “The woman asked me to register her in a private room because she cannot remove her veil. I told her it is not in any way possible and after pleading, I asked her, “what if I want to take your photo during the registration?” See more Photos on http://ladygbeborun.com/4494-2/ 1 Share

They should tell her to get to hell. Until people realise how Backward those 2 religions are. One example Today, a woman baring her chest in a shade , by the river side or in a moment of Leisure is regarded as a prostitute. Whereas, our forefathers openly flaunted and celebrated their sexuality in private, during festivals, breastfeeding etc The woman's breast was regarded as something for feeding the baby. Even today, breastfeeding in public is frowned upon in Europe and America. The breastfeeding has become an object of pleasure. The Europeans are just getting to this level of civilisationand the arabs are stuck in the stone age. The Arab's case without oil would have been worse than Africa's Unfortunately we are stuck with the garbage they left us. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This is one of those "religious freedoms" tenets that I actually think people should uphold..... If it was me, I wouldn't make her remove it. I think it's wrong to do so 1 Like |

That's not a hijab. A hijab doesn't cover the face - just the hair, ears and neck. That's a niqab. 2 Likes |

MrsPhyno: Nobdy asked her to remove her Hijab or burka or whatever, but given the fact that she wanted to enter a public building/crowd, in a city where people have used that same veiled attire to perform successful sucide bombing attacks; then she shouldn't be offended if they insist she must be searched before she enters the building!! Except she shares the same sentiments about the people that suicide bombers seek to attack!! Before she got there, nobody asked her to do anything!! Even in Saudi arabia, if a woman, accompanied or unaccompanied, arrives veiled at the airport, they are searched so why should this woman's case be different!! I would have understood her offence/anger if a man wanted to search her but from the story here, it was obvious that awoman like her wanted to search her, so what is her problem?? If you don't want to be "Unveiled" then go away; after all I have not heard anywhere, were Sim registration is a requirement for obtaining Heaven in the Quran!! If you want to do sim registration, then do what is required; if you can't do it, then go home and stop conducting yourself in a way that endangers people or take actions that are against public interest!! Chikenan!! 7 Likes 1 Share |

I am a Christian and if we Christians make fun of Muslims who are practicing what they believe in, how are we different from unbelievers who laugh at our own practice. In a world where religion is highly regarded and people take it passionately, why not create systems that can help people do their thing peacefully.. In a mosque, there are no drum sets or guitars and all of that because it is a mosque so also should people like this get treatments befitting them. Nothing wrong in mtn creating special booths manned by Muslim women in areas where Muslim womem dominate, nothing wrong with searches by fellow Muslim women, nothing wrong in using bomb detector machines in select locations with predominantly Muslims. We just want to paint people bad so we will feel good. We Christians will be wanting this people to find the light, yet mock them and exhibit an attitude that even God spits on 3 Likes |

please can a Moslem educate us on the reason why some nigerian moslem women insist on using the niqab that covers every part of their body. is this modesty taken too far? I remembered one woman totally dressed up like that in my former area where I was staying trying to exchange pleasantries. I totally ignored her. how the heck am I supposed to know who was greeting me under the niqab anyway. you wanna have a conversation with me, then I too need to see your face. like the yorubas say, oju loro wa. 1 Like |
