Boboye4slim:


who is this mumu like this.....if the principal decide to enforce the school standard by making hijab a must wear, the christian will either go will the flow or get their ward to another school. and besides, this school in question is a private school. take your trash elsewhere you religion intolerance bigot. Islam claim they r the religion of peace. with what we have seen and still seeing around us, the opposite is the case. they have problem with respecting standards when it's not in their favour.

Being a public school or private school isn't d issue. D issue is that d school has rules which should b applied on all irrespective of religion.

Whats with Hijab and these yeye mumusm? They stole Hijab from Kadijah a roman catholic nun. Now they are disturbing the peace of the world with what they stole from Christians. They always steal from Christians. Parasites

They are like that and they will claimed it belong to them.

I just don't like this people a bit. I prefer to stay comfortably with African traditional worshipers than staying comfortably with these demonic set of people called Muslim filled with hatred towards humanity.

Every trouble in the world today they are the one behind it non of their region is in peace except Saudi the rest are kingdom of hell.

Somalia
Afghanistan
Yemen
Qatar
Iran
Iraq
Pakistan
Sudan
Northern Nigeria
Indonesia
Mali
Burkina Faso
Algeria
Libya etc
These are the axis of evil blood sucking vampire and it all be long to that same religion Islam. Pls cant these people just once in their lives ask themselves a question like*why is it only us always enjoy bloodshed and trouble among every other religion*?

Sikay19:

I don't know your age or your status but your opinion is very crass... Comparing Nigeria which is a secular state to core Islamic countries is unreasonable... this is Nigeria where you are allowed to practice religion of your choice. As muslims we have no problem with any forms of dressing every others wears. but Hijab is our identity and we shall not compromise on this... what I don't understand is why are you feeling insecure about this.. inferiority complex is the order of the day.

Nobody is dragging your hijab identity with you.. .but please aren't there Muslim schools ...must they attend this very one that has refused them wearing hijab?. ...why must the hijab wearing people force their dressing down the throat of others in a private school? ...pls they can go to their Muslim schools and allow other Nigerians to have peace.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think Muslims are been marginalized and their rights are trampled upon in most Southern schools. We Christians should better realize that Nigeria is a secular country dominated by Muslims wether we like it or not. Most schools pray the Christian way without considering the faith of Muslims and yet we Christians still refuse to let Muslims wear an harmless Hijab I hope Muric and other Muslim groups reject this open hypocrisy of we Christians

God bless you.

The International School Ibadan (ISI) and the Hijab Ban.

ISI is a secondary school under the control of the management of University of Ibadan. The school has been in the news in the last few days for its refusal to allow willing female Muslim students use Hijab on their uniform. The situation has degenerated to the extent that the Muslim students were shut out of the school among other unwarranted actions of the school as represented by the Principal, one Mrs Phebean Olowe.

I have read and listened to different opinions on the development and I am not sorry for the positions I take on the matter. Before I conclude with my positions however, I have a few questions for the Principal in question as well as anyone with position same as or similar to that of the school management:

1. Does the wearing of Hijab by the willing female Muslim students portend any danger/evil for their colleagues (who don't), the school or anyone for that matter?

2. Is it against the law of the land for the students of such a 'public' school to wear Hijab?

3. Does their observance of that aspect of their constitutional rights rub or deny anyone of his?

If the genuine answers to the above questions are NO, then I am of the opinion that the assertion that the school's reactions are borne out of hatred for Islam and the Muslims must be very true and this has to stop and stop NOW.

And for those who might be asking, does their not wearing Hijab portend any danger? Yes, it does and contrary to the opinions of those that know not, not wearing Hijab makes female muslims less Muslims because it's not a flexible commandment. If your wish is really not to make them non-Muslims, let them use what makes them the Muslims that they are.

I call on all the concerned stakeholders and well meaning people of the society to intervene in good time to allow our female Muslim students join their colleagues without any further victimization, molestation, discrimination or disdainful treatment of any kind.

Leyin aponle, abuku lo Ku o........... Tori a ko le wa sa fun keke lo kolu moto.....

the school is a private concern of UI, just like a bakery or water bottling company run by UI..

AND YES they may hide dangerous weapons under the damn thing since you asked...

As much as u have a right to an opinion, one easily notices that your positions is tinted with religious bigotry!

I have a question for you that puts paid to this your yada yada!

Do you know when something is called UNIFORM?

If you will genuinely answer this question then your bigotry becomes glaring!

Do we know what this whole crisis creates in the minds of kids who would normally see themselves as one but bigot adults like you will rather create divisions in their minds!

Ibrahimmrfish:
Because it is a public school and as citizens of Nigeria,they have every right to send their children there.A public school should not be run by Christian or Muslim standard,it should be open to all.

And it is you that made it a public school Abi?. ...senseless arguments.

So how have they coped for the last decades? Is it that the hijab wearing is not as a mandatory as they now claim?

Can they not attend pro hijab schools especially Muslim schools instead of trying to disrupt a peaceful school? Or do they not have faith in their schools?

See islam see violence. If u give dem chance now, dem go slaughter all d non muslim student. # ndi ala!(breast people)

I would always think hijab wearing doesn't do anyone harm and should therefore be left to the individual or group to decide what fit them. But on a second thought, hijab has the effect of polarizing people. It clearly and loudly splits the classroom into muslims vs others. This is not healthy for the unity of the school and the society at large.

The argument is that hijab is the Muslim child's identity. But that then is the problem. The school doesn't want pupil splitted into various groups and identities: 'US' VS 'THEM' kind of thing. In my opinion, the MURIC fuels this madness. This group is working tirelesly to destroy the years of tolerance the south west enjoys and that group must be cautioned.

Is the school a christian school?

Ok go to an hijab school

bankyblue:
Sometimes I just wonder!

Will the hijab give them knowledge?
Will the hijab make them stop doing bad thing?

What religion as done to us in this country can never be mention.....later u will tell me is peace you guys seek!
Always want to dominate where they are.

the purpose is for easy identification when BH come kidnapping and killing.

4gunners:
Don't mind them. Go to the north east and see how they carry the hijab matter for head. Yet, the regions is the most backward region in terms of everything you can think of

Bro, this is about South West not North East. Face the topic, stop digressing, how does wearing Hijab make a country backwards? Or are the ladies in your family who don't wear hijab better than ladies with hijab in Saudi, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia?

I doubt u attended a government public school. Worship modes are alternated along the days of the week.

nawtyme:

But sharia police in Kano can destroy alcohol even when they don't drink it. Are they forced to drink alcohol?

How does Hijab harm or cause harm to the body? Does Hijab destroy the kidney as Alcohol does?

nawtyme:


Go to a muslim school. Simple

Is ISI a Christian school? Why should I go to a Muslim school to exercise my fundamental right as a Muslim in a government secular school?

Your arguments is very vague. Muslims are the problem of this country. Rhetorically, what value will hijab add to these kids.Does that mean everyone should dress according to his religion believe.Why must we continue to intoxicate the mind of these little kids , who should love each other and sees everyone as his brother and sister. 95% of my friends are Muslims elite and they will never agitate for these thrash the so called Muslim parents are calling for. Parents who desire hijab for their kids against the school regulations could kindly withdraw the children to trusted Islamic school and stop disrupting a peaceful academic calendar with continuous short down.

Reason Khashoogi was killed by the custodian of your two holy mosque.Hypocrites

Yankee101:
I used to to say that Yoruba land was the most tolerant part of Nigeria (except Ilorin which has always had crazy Alfas, maybe from the time of Alimi)


But not anymore


Intolerant Islamic extremism is taking deep seated roots

The Yorubas can decide if they want to be drawn back into the dark ages

No doubt your brain is full of cockroaches. So Muslims are tolerant when they don't follow the tenets of their religion? What kind of bigotry is this? So hijab for children is now dark ages? Wonders shall end!

hypocrisy of we Christians

Nigeria is not a Muslim or Christian country....
Do they also consider the traditional believers? ....the traditionalists should also start wearing there traditional wears to school too....

When giving Christians and Muslims holidays...do they put the traditionalists in consideration.......I will urge them too to fight for their right.....

amalab30:
My take is that, as Muslims, the western countries shouldn't allow them into their countries. They should be forced to enjoy their religion in other Arabs/Muslims dominated regions. If they plan to travel to enjoy education or medical tourism, they should travel to Saudi, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar or UAE at most.

The issue is, the freedom given to these guys have become so huge, so much that Nigeria from the outside is looked as an Islamic country.

My gross is why does the elite find it easy to study or send their children or wards to Western countries where it's easy to give birth and your kids become citizens of those countries - something that is not even possible in Arab nations.


Imagine a world where USA, Germany, UK, decides never to issue visas to any Muslim or Arab, how'd they feel?

100% if a Muslim is given a choice of USA/Canada or Saudi/Yemen, we all know which he/she woul pick.

Even in football, no footballer of Arab extraction has made a name without playing in one of the western countries.

It's juss very stewpid of them to demand that their agitations must always e regarded on a secular country.

If you don't like the laws of the school, take your kids away. Finish!

Another rubbish post from a brain dead one, but the western countries are allowed to exploit and colonize Muslim countries but Muslims are not to be allowed in? Bro, you have sense, very nice. I await your reply so as I can rubbish you well.

ojuu4u:
that's trade mark of ur religion *violent * Did you use to be vocal like this whenever your so-called decent Muslim girls used hijabs for cover-ups to detonate bomb? "Killing & Maiming" innocent people? NO. Adesanjo Oyejide you are hypocrite. Let us reason together, how will you feel if I start slaughtering dogs & pigs in front of your mosque, selling them for prospective buyers. Do not forget that am excercising my fundermental human rights o and as citizen of the country I shouldn't be marginalized. Oyejide, let us learn how to let sleeping dog lies. No religion is a monopoly of violent

Olodo, you have no right to go to someone's compound or home to do rubbish. But I know you don't have sense, if dem born you well, go and slaughter pigs and dogs in front of mosques, oloshi

wisebrains:
I'm still waiting till when this religion fanatics will tell the federal government that our female army, police, customs, road safety and other military and paramilitary officers should be allowed to us hijab with their uniforms. Fvvvvking hypocrites...

And you call yourself wise brain,you should be dull brain instead. Incase you don't know, secular nations allow this but bigoted nigeria. So y'all are the hypocrites.

thank God you confirm it, anyway I don't blame you, that was how you were brought up, violence is running in your blood stream, trully it's religion of peace. Even with your comments, does it show you are a truth worshiper of Almighty God? Is your God, a God of peace or crises?

NB. Bros u forgot to comment about issue of bomb.

In Christianity, following what the bible says is by choice. Christians can go to churches in mini skirts,twerk in the church,drink alcohol ,lie in the name of God and scam one another in the named of tithe.
In Christianity, everything goes.Hijab is a right of Muslim women,ladies and girls and this is allowed even in Western world.
Muslims are awakening and our right has come to stay.
The earlier the enemies of Islam realise this the better.

My point is that you don't throw a school into chaos because of hijab that will contribute NOTHING to the reason why they are in school. The school has being in existence for many years serving its purpose.

People like you continue to compare countries like Qatar, Saudi and the rest forgetting that they are muslim countries. Nigeria is a secular state. If you want to wear hijab, go to muslim schools. Simple!!!!

DONT MIND THEM THEIR RELIGION HAS TURNED THEM TO ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY.MADNESS?
