They even copied the sultan of Sokoto..smh.make dem go report to him na.

The question should be: is the hijab part of the school's uniform? If it is not, case closed, if you don't like the school's policy on conventional uniform the school's gate is open.

tayyibb:

And you think they are not been mistreated?
Actually they are

The foundation of Nigerian education was based on the idea of our colonial master most if not all were Christian missionaries.
Everything about the structure is in line with Christianity,that is why you can't see anything wrong in it.

We are now an independent nation,our ideology too should be independent,we know there are both Christians and Muslims in this country let accommodate both and stop hiding under secularism, Nigeria is not a secular nation except we want to deceive ourselves.

What is wrong in wearing hijab?will it affect your own dress?
Tell me.The problem stems from the fact that we claim to live together but we fail to understand eachother.
Muslim prays compulsorily 5times a day and part of the requirements is for you to cover what is necessary in your body.If Muslims are not allow to wear hijab,they won't be able to do this obligation anywhere they are whenever there is time for the prayer.

Any thing that is demanded by Muslims are called many names Islamisation, extremism, terrorism.Let stop this and reason intellectually.We are all biased in one way or the other we just don't won't to agree,give us space too what are you afraid of.

Islam is not limited to mosque,it pervades all areas of a Muslim life,he must look at everything with Islamic spectacles and act accordingly.

If it is a private enterprise u can have it in your way but for government owned we both have the right to enjoy it without infringement on our fundamental rights.

Well articulated response but you missed the point. Let me school you a little. There are Christian schools that requires some kind of religious uniforms in that regards and there are Muslims schools where such Islamic uniforms are acceptable. Any parent who want a customised religious training for his/her wards can always take advantage of those institutes.

In go ernnent schools, uniforms are none religious, it's neither Christian related nor Islamic related. Please get that point clear. What stops you from folding g your hijab into a hand ag to wear during prayers in a secluded places??

You sound educated and points well articulated though in a wrong direction. Please restrain from this religious extrimism, it does no one any good.

Uniform is different from wearing of hijab. Does wearing of hijab change the school uniform? Students only wear hijab with the school uniform, and mostly same colour as the school uniform.

I know many Muslims who have passed through that school.....without hijab,get into the University and continue with their hijab unhindered but some troublemakers will just want to stir up some seed of discord....na waoh....
Hijab isn't part of your school uniform,tomorrow somebody will come with beret or scarf and say he is Christian or Buddha or Ogun or Sopona worshipper....
This school has been there for years and never has any issue relating to this come up,but here we are...swimming again because a witch cried in the night and the baby died in the morning.....
Many years ago,it was the cross in front of the Chapel,the VC then fought it to a standstill.....today,it is hijab......over to you Olayinka and Aderinto............

that shows the principal was out to act against the regulations of the law . what is wrong with student wearing hijab. After notifications and copying the necessary stakeholders. she is welcome I am more than sure that those parents are up to the task.

computergeek:
I'm not trying to bring them down or denigrate them, but I just feel Muslims like to act as if they're being mistreated. I understand that they take their religion as a culture, but then again they should stop forcing their nuggets on other people, because some of us take our religions very seriously too but we know when to cut back.

A government school is not a religious school. It won't kill anyone if the girls drop their hijabs for a few hours of school. Schools don't allow Catholic kids to wear Chaplets and medals and finger Rosaries. Schools don't allow girls from other Christian denominations to cover their hair or wear Church vests to school, so why should Muslim girls be permitted to wear hijabs to government schools? Everyone should try to be more tolerant, more flexible and less over-zealous.

What is the essence of wearing berets? Why must girl students? If not to cover their hair?

That's too extreme na. Some Christian pastors do unspeakable and unimaginable things but do you see anyone pushing for Christianity to be abolished?

Stanweezy:
So this people know the rules better than the school, don't combine school rule with Islamic rule. If the school said no wearing of hijab obey it, if u are not satisfied with that you can change your ward to another school that allows that. For Christ sake this is called school UNIFORM meaning everybody must wear this same thing.

DammyOlu123:
This makes me sad. This school has been standing for decades, and has not experienced such drama (to the best of my knowledge). It has consistently churned out both Muslim and Christian leaders, who have excelled in whichever field they chose. What suddenly brought attention to a subject that was previously a non-issue?

Whenever the issue of Islam comes up, shallow minded people always have something to say.
What's the big deal in covering one's head for God sake?
Bigots won't take it easy because the easiest way to divide us in this country is using religion or religious belief.
