The case law versus Nigerian constitution?
Private corporation vs public institution?

A public institution that embraces religious neutrality across board is in complete compliance with our flawed current constitution that cartegorically bans state religion

Re: Halima Buhari Called To Bar With No Hijab (Photos) by BetaThings: 12:51pm On Dec 16, 2017
dyydxx:


it has to get to the supreme court and the current constitution(1999) as amended prohibits a state religion, which means anything that has to do with the state(public schools for example) have the right to determine if they want to be religiously neutral across board. They will surely affirm those rights at the supreme court.

You don't seem to get my point
No State religion; No state obstruction of religion


dyydxx:
Muslims can wear hijabs if they want, that's there business but you can't wear it in my company if my companies policy is to be religiously neutral. I have a right to say I dont want any religious attire in my firm. it's not hard now, and that's me as an individual or company. How much more a state institution in a country where a state religion is banned?
Private company can discriminate
State institutions cannot because they will cause social tension

dyydxx:
The hijabi sistas and the religion that teaches that, that is the only way to be modest is the one that needs to broaden their minds
No an open mind recognises diversity in religion, culture, race/tribe
Why do you think people are criticising Trump for supporting white supremacists
If a Hijabi sister cannot tolerate a nun, then she needs to open her mind

dyydxx:
where it wherever it is permissible. it is not permissible everywhere, for reasons we have been debating.
A secular state allows people to worship
Give me a secular state that does not permit religion
Even America under Trump is promoting Christianity

dyydxx:
where it to your mosque now or maybe faith schools. In a truly secular states, hijabs ought to be banned in all public institutions and not hijabs but every other religious symbols including crosses and what have you
In a secular state, there is no reason to ban Hijab
People like you ought to be trained on diversity

dyydxx:
The country is not an islamic or christian country. it is a secular country with multi religious ethnicities.
Actually Christians need this message more
Muslims are not asking for unreasonable things

Look at this

Which useless rule?

May God bless and continue to strengthen Firdauos for challenging that rule. The question is how their using the hijab in line with their religion affect the calling to bar program?
That was how we were continually victimized in Nursing school before we eventually were able to use the hijab,which is our right.

I did not use them as an example. But you can ciet examples because we are all human beings
What has MAkkah got to do with this argument. You said soembody should go to Kenya and I said he is not going anywhere as a Nigerian
He stays here - he is not going to Makkah, Kenya, US
He pays tax in Nigeria and stays here

It is a well established fact that Buhari is an Islamic fundamentalist. And being the president of Nigeria (which is also very symbolic to his moslem brothers), his daughter could've had no problem wearing the islamic symbol on an occasion like this. More so if she couldn't do without it. But she chose to abide by the rule.

Life is not always about Islamic symbolism, hypocrisy and barbarism.


People like u are the problems we have in Nigeria. U turn things to suit ur imaginations. Thank God it was not Buhari's daughter who refused to remove the hijab. It would have for sure made ur front burner

The foolishness in most of you is that the church is you. You are the church. Are you mandated to pray ONLY in organized gatherings? Can't you pray while on the move? Can't you pray at work or anywhere? God says he is everywhere which means you should call on him anytime and anywhere. Your pastors won't tell you this because it's not related to tithe, first fruits, seed sowing and offering
U are a big fool!!!
Guess u will be happy if our soldiers & police keeps praying when they should be fighting armed men because they are christians & muslims...abi? idiot...
If at your age u don't know there is time for everything, as stated by the bible, then honestly i sorry for u...

Even in Scotland they allowed their police women to use hijab while metropolitan in London also permit Muslim's women to use hijab and hijabite lawyers appeared in royal Supreme Court of UK to stands for cases, Sub-Saharan countries still glued on leftovers of their colonial masters by ignoring Human Rights the law stands for. Colo mentality block self sense of reasoning of Nigerian lawyers.
must we continue to copy them and remain like slaves to them? That is Europe and this is Africa. We're independent, as such we can set our laws and do as iy pleases Us. It's their choice to allow, permit and use hijab but we here don't want it. Simple. Abeg shift make i pass.

Buhari’s daughter is not a role model for the muslims.Muslims follow the Quran and not Human beings.

Buhari's daughter could have used her father's position to go against the law and wear a hijab but she knows what's right from what's wrong.

The stupid girl has no case. The law is the law. There's nothing your stupid noises can do about it.

Before you come for me thinking I'm a Christian, know that I am irreligious. I am not you fools blinded by religion and I would never be part of what makes people have unfounded hatred for each other

That is Kenya, this is Nigeria. Until the rule is changed by the council of legal education, no hijab.

People can push for the rule to be changed but as it stands now, the woman is wrong.

That worry it has happened in US so shall it be in Nigeria.......

ON HIJAB, LAW SCHOOL & CALL TO BAR.

“Meanwhile sources at the ICC stated that before the ceremonies were to begin, all Muslims were respectfully asked to remove their hijabs prior to entering the hall. This request was complied with by all the Muslims present except Amasa Firdaus who vehemently refused to remove hers. In the process of her protests and despite entreaties made to her by other Muslims she was denied entry into the hall by the Body of Benchers. During the ceremony, a Respected former Chief Justice of Nigeria also met with Amasa Firdaus to convince her to remove her hijab but she did not heed the pleadings as she reiterated that even at gun point she would never remove her Hijab...” (Culled from a Nigerian Law Blog site)

Dear Amasa Firdaus, I want to address you. Please allow me share a brief story with you so that you may be inspired and remain resolute.

In 2015, my wife, a Soldier with the US Army, was told at the Army Annual Training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, United States �� that she either take off her Hijab or leave the Annual Training. My wife insisted that her Hijab is part of her and she will never remove it to please anyone or authority. Exactly like you reportedly insisted. Eventually, she was told to leave and she left the Annual Training. After the conclusion of the annual training, her Military unit said she cannot return....At another point, she was invited back to the drill and she went there with her Hijab � on her head. Again, she was told she cannot use her Hijab and she had to leave and she left. Away from the limelight she fought this vehemently by escalating the issue to the top echelon of the command. We prepared a memo to the authorities explaining why she should be allowed to use her Hijab �.

She was away for almost a year but eventually and in end, the Army Secretary under President Obama released a new regulation allowing the use of Hijab. It was a glorious moment. Her decision to remain undaunted paved the way for others who will come after her. Suddenly, the fight was worth it. All those period she had to cry became a thing of joy. We were elated that her resolve to remain undaunted finally paid off. Today, she proudly wears her Hijab on her uniform, attends her drill sessions and performs well. She’s a badass solider who’ll soon be commissioned as an officer and I’m so darn proud of her. Of course I also know you’ll make a fantastic addition to our profession. I have heard of your academic exploits and it is my belief that it will set you on your way to reach the top echelon of the profession.

That is my message to you today Firdaus. You have a made a huge sacrifice and I cannot begin to imagine how sad you feel that the profession you so much look forward to joining has asked you to choose between your faith and your call to bar. You must be so disappointed that Nigeria let you down. I bet you also feel that your Muslim colleagues who took off their Hijabs � when ordered to do so should have stood firm and maybe when they realise that none of you is willing to break rank, they’d have allowed you all to use your Hijab. I get the feeling of sadness. But don’t be. You’re a hero.

You have once again reignited the conversation that has been on for years. You have brought our attention to the way the Nigerian Law School and Council of Legal Education who are empowered to train new lawyers show flagrant disregard to your rights under S. 38 of the constitution. Your courage and sacrifice remind me of that of my wife. Your call to bar may have been delayed but in the end, Justice will prevail and it won’t be denied. Please, cheer up! The road ahead will be tough but Allah will strengthen and ease that burden for you.

To your friends and family, this is the time to rally round one of your own and give her all the support she needs. Her decision to fight this injustice is not stupid. Heroes are not always in uniform.

To my lawyer colleagues, once again, we have been called to task. How do we explain it that the Nigerian Law School & Council of Legal Education who are empowered to train new lawyers will themselves refuse to obey the judgments of the Court? Does that not worry us? As a Lawyer, I’m extremely disappointed. Several courts including the Court of Appeal in the case of Lagos State v Aisha Abdulkareem held that the use of Hijab � is a constitutional and fundamental right and no one can take it away. Also in Abidemi Rasaq & ors V. Commissioner for Health Lagos State suit no ID/424M/2004, the Lagos State High Court held that a circular issued by Lagos State School of Health Technology banning students from wearing Hijab � is unconstitutional. Similarly in the case of Provost Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin V. Basirat Saliu suit no CA/IL/49/2009, the learned Justices of the Court of Appeal held that the use of Hijab � by female Muslims qualifies as a fundamental right under Section 38 of the Constitution.

Despite all these decisions, the Nigerian Law School and by extension the Council of Legal Education continues to victimize Muslim Law Student who chose to cover their hair by threatening not to call them to Nigerian Bar. If the Nigerian Law School and the Council of Legal Education does not respect the decisions of a properly constituted Courts, including the Courts of Appeal, then what the hell are they teaching law students? Are we really going to debate this issue from our religious googles or be objective and err on the side of common sense and humanity?

To MULAN and other Muslim Senior Lawyers and Judges, I once read that the Elders have said that they needed just one person who’s willing to face the consequences and stand her ground to wear her Hijab and they will take it up. Now Amasa Firdaus has given herself up. Will you fail her?

To the members of National Assembly especially those representing the State and district Firdaus came from, are y’all going to fold your arms and let a Nigerian, a member of your constituency be punished unjustly for asserting her fundamental human rights as guaranteed under S.38 of the constitution?

The world is watching...
Let's test the constitution now

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
