The controversy surrounding the Nigeria Bar Association and the Unilorin student who was denied a call to Nigeria Bar has been generating controversy since two days now. Even the President of Nigeria Bar Association have waded into the controversy as promised that everything will be resolved as soon as possible.

The former Aviation Minister Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (SAN) has blamed the student in question Amasa Firdaus, who was denied ‘call to bar’ by officials of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for failing to remove her veil, otherwise known as hijab.

Fani kayode said Firdaus was only being childish and disingenuous as Nigeria is a secular state and she cannot insist on wearing a religious garb during a secular ceremony. The former minster, while reacting via his Twitter handle said;

”The girl that insisted on wearing her hijab during her call to the Nigerian bar was being childish and disingenuous. ”You cannot insist on wearing religious garb during a secular ceremony and she is not the first Muslim to be called to the Nigerian bar. Nigeria is a secular state.”

See his post below and people's reactions.

Let the fight begin

Clown, who doesn't know left from right



.

Don't blame Firdaus. Blame Islam. Blame religion.

For the religion poisons everything... even the most learned of wigs.

It's so unfortunate that while other nations are progressing, hijab is causing a national reaction in Nigeria.


Btw, FFK is right

He's right. Religion has to be separated from certain things in life

odduduwa:
good reaction Islam must be wiped out by fire by sword

This statement sef!!!! If violence breaks out how will that be of economic value to you or me

Sincerely, I really don't see why this hijab thing seems to be a problem. If she wants to wear her hijab, let her do so abeg.


Infact am getting tired of this whole religion-induced issues sef

but the dude was RIGHT

With all the pressing issues wey dey na hijab matter pple carry for head chai

Like I give a fvkk

The matter has just started

Nice one FFK


Didn't she know that the profession she was going to study doesn't allow any dress code other than what is permitted?

This is similar to the case of a religious person whose religion doesn't permit him to see other women's private part but wants to be a doctor, especially the one that delivers babies.

Are we now to say that the vagina of women about to deliver at his hospital should be cut off just to please him? If he can't stand it, he should go find another profession.

Allowing this girl to bring her religious views I to a profession will be disastrous for others. If she is to defend a Christian against a guilty Muslim, she will definitely undermine the case of the Christian just to please the Muslim cos their Prophet said they should never take sides with a non-muslims in a struggle.

Imagine the amount of Christians she will send to loss if she becomes a judge.

Keep your religion away from law.


Look at what their Prophet said to Muslims.


Ibn Kathir v.2 p.213 - No believer shall kill any believer for any non-believer. Nor shall he HELP any non-believer against a believer - People

Sahih Muslim (2167) - "Allah's Messenger said: Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads FORCE him to go to the narrowest part of it."

Quran (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."

ok

FFK is right about this.. This is western education and not Islamic law school.. The girl is wrong and therefore accordingly.. moreover nobody is perfect..
