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.

good reaction Islam must be wiped out by fire by sword
. Pls those of us that are Christian should stop insulting Muslims just because of what they believe. If u insult a Muslim you are the evil one. We must always remember that judgement lies with God to judge who is right in serving him or wrong. U hope u people know that God said we should love our neighbour whether Muslim, Christian or pagan.

What's this one saying? Where did I mention that Islam is only arabic?

I stated that such Arabic dressings are not permitted in our institution. Christianity originated from the Jews, right? Did you see Christians wear a jewish attire to serve God? Did they speak in Jewish language to commune with God?

Is God not supposed to have created an africa man as well? How come you can't display your cultural garbs and your very essence before the God that made you that way? Unless you're saying Allah is not impartial!

Now this should further resolves your dilemma.

AgentOfAllah:
It's a poor example, sorry! I am not arguing against uniformity, I am arguing for the accommodation of religious diversity in the national institutions of a secular country. The Nigerian army is just as culpable as the law school in this regard. Look, hijab is clearly something that some religious people feel very strongly about. It takes nothing, absolutely nothing away from uniformity, nor does it change the overall character of your uniform anymore than wearing a wig, or having a mole on your face does.


Nothing! People should be able to put on whatever is sacred to them, unless it is obviously impractical. You cannot send a deeperlife devotee to war in a long skirt, for instance.

See, I'm not debating the army, so forgive my reluctance to go down a rabbit hole that will only prolong this conversation unnecessarily. Firdaus is not a soldier, she is a lawyer, and she is fighting for her right in her chosen profession. If a hijabi lady who wishes to join the army comes out to fight for her right to wear the hijab while practicing her profession, I will give her my full support! Such anachronistic and discriminatory rules have no place in the national institutions of a secular country.

People can advertise anything in the subway in New York. It doesn't mean anything. There are spaces meant for adverts on the wall, and once you pay the required fees then you are free to put up your ad, once it does not conflict with the advertising codes. It is simply a source of revenue for them.

It does not mean that the New York subway authorities endorse the message in your advert, neither does it mean they agree with its contents, or they would adopt it. undecided

If an IFA worshipper were to place an ad on the subway of the New York Train platform, it would be accepted. In fact, it might just be placed side by side with the advert on the niqab. wink

For your info, the niqab has been banned by France, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium and a few towns in Italy.

my point is communicated. Wig used by nigerian lawyer was introduced by the colonial masters, and colonial masters are christians. Hence, wig is euphemism to christianity. For subway, you are just correct which suggests that it is still about constitutional right. Now your point is?

The wig was introduced by the colonial masters, but were they all Christians? Many of them were atheists. As for the subway adverts, it is about raising the revenue base of the subway, and not about constitutional rights. They did not accept to put up those ads, based on constitutional rights, but to raise money. Do you get it now?

Sorry, buddy, if you are a women and a lawyer or anyone you know decides to put on gele on thier gown, it is their choice if that makes you comfortable. Gele and hijab are simply headcover with difference in their appearances. A muslim woman decided to wear hijab on her gown, how is that your business?. I am sure 100% if a muslim woman wore gele to the Bar, you would still have something negative to say.

It doesnt take degree to figure out there is hatred for islam and muslims in your heart. Again, anyone wants to wear gele on their gown can go ahead. Talk is cheap. Just do it already. Let me tell you again that Hijab is not Arabic thing. Dont you get it?. It is a universal religious command. If it is arab thing, why do White muslims wear it?. Why do Asian muslims wear it?. Why do Caribbean people wear it?

So are u suggesting she sud quit being a Muslim lady because she intends to practice law or she should honor d event because of her hijab. I think u are not getting d point. The country's constitution allows for everybody to belong to a religion n practice it as stipulated by d religions law. Part of the rule of the religion is wearing of hijab for female. So why should this result into headache for d Christians. You people are the real haters, instead of u to focus on how to liberate yourself from ur private-jet riding Daddy G.O, you are there criticizing other people's religion. Smh, I pray u get it right b4 it'll be too late sad

Did you see anything Christian in my post? Are you so afraid of Christians so much that it dies give you nightmare? Guy don't kill yourself before your death come. Always try to respond to issues that has been brought to you. I did not even mention Islam in my comment, why are you so blinded by hatred so much that all you could do is bring religion into every matter. Before you eat rat poison on this hijab matter you better go and read her interview first. She admitted that there is a convention which she refused to abide by. She claim that she did what she did to speak for other Muslims who couldn't speak for themselves, this means she have the knowledge of the consequences. So why do you have to bring Christianity into your madness? Be warned I may not be nice the next time you try to derail thread like this

Can you see the mistake you are making? You are assuming that all the colonial masters were Christians. That is an error. Some were Christians and those were the first set of missionaries. The next set were business men and merchants, so they opened up trade frontiers with the colonies, on behalf of their govt. Alongside this set were teachers and medical doctors. So these ones promoted education and medicine. A large number of the.merchants, doctors etc were atheists. Go back into history, and check. They engaged in slave trade and oppressive acts.

You keep holding up New York as your standard, yet there are many Muslims in New York who do not wear the hijab, and there are several non-Muslims who do not like the hijab or support it. The authorities are merely trying to protect everybody's rights - both Muslims and nob-Muslims, alike.

Even at that, there are some grey areas where such clothing like niqab, burqa etc, needs to be shifted aside, to allow for easy identification.

When it comes to constitutional rights, you should realise that the freedom to swing your arms, ends where the next person's nose, begins. Rights are not absolute, and do not occur in isolation.

Tomorrow, the same New York authorities might wake up to ban it, if they feel it constitutes a security risk.

A few western European countries have banned the burqa and niqab, for security reasons. Yet, you fail to mention those ones. Is it because they prefer to uphold security above religious preferences?

As for the subway authorities in New York, constitutional rights do NOT play a part in their acceptance of any advert. I have seen an ad promoting Buddhist philosophy on the subway, before. The acceptance of adverts, is driven by pecuniary gains - no more, no less!
