See Photo Of Daughter Of NBA President Being Admitted To New York Bar In Hijab

The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. A.B. Mahmoud (SAN), has shared a picture of his daughter, Zubaida Mahmoud, covered in Hijab at the ceremony admitting her to the New York Bar earlier this year...

The NBA president shared the photo following the trending controversy after a student of the Nigerian Law from the University of Ilorin by name Amasa Firdaus was not called to the Nigerian bar by the Body of Benchers on the 12th day of December, 2017 over refusal to remove her hijab before entering the International Conference Centre...

Amasa Firdaus had insisted on wearing her wig on top of her Hijab as she was already dressed in her new gown.

Ranchhoddas:
This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Is there a science to this?

more like an urban legend!

Nigeria always blame put blame on something then know little !

Read the news again and you will find some loophole in it

Tonytonex:
you should be the one to do that.

You will never learn!

Maezara:
This is absolute bullshit. Your cell phone cannot cause fire at a gas station. It's nothing but an urban legend.

[color=darkgreen]If it's true, one is left to wonder why it doesn't happen OFTEN since most people do not obey the warning signs at gas stations---they do not follow the instructions.[/color]

It's nothing but a myth. There's no scientific evidence to back it up.

RIP to the woman and all the others. My heart goes out to their family and friends. It's quite tragic.

I was saying the only possible cause of that explosion may be her car if investigated properly!

But the news was talking one thing and another!

We have many educated illiterate here on nairaland

mechanics:
One of the safety rules in a filling station is not to receive calls and switch off all engines, that's why when people normally scoop fuel and the fuel explode, it must be as a result of a phone call, that's very dangerous, and even the pump attendant was not even security conscious, so unfortunate.

IamaNigerianGuy:
My thoughts exactly. Correlation is not causation.

thank God for google but many don't use it!

Phone can't cause a gas explosion !

https://canadasafetycouncil.org/safety-canada-online/article/cell-phones-risks-and-rumour

Ranchhoddas:
Please read the links and stop being a toad.

I am not surprised though as you cannot even differentiate "new" from "knew".

just google every source I can find online and there is no event ever recorded!

Even the famous myths buster has debunk this and called it an urban legend!

3kay945:
I haven't confirm the fuel and phone thing but the cylinder gas and phone is confirmed bro,. It happened to My in-law family's friend. The lady was buried same day according to Islam rite.

For this article, we're going to work from the assumption that you don't want to cause an explosion and fire at a gas station, sending the whole structure and all of its patrons up in a cloud of smoke, lottery tickets, windshield-washer fluid and Funyuns. So, if you don't want to cause an explosion or start a fire at a gas station, you should keep your trusty cell phone holstered, right?

Nope.




While gas stations have posted warnings against cell phone use, and urban legends recount fires started by cell phones at gas tanks, there has been no documented case of a cell phone starting a fire at a gas station [source: Petroleum Equipment Institute]. In fact, researchers have actively tried (and failed) to use cell phones to start gas pump fires [source: MythBusters].


What started the idea that cell phones and gas pumps don't mix? One culprit could be the little shock you get when you shuffle across the carpet. While cell phones haven't been shown to ignite fires at gas stations, static electricity has. When you gas up your car, you're likely careful not to spill a single drop (gas is expensive!). Still, gas vapors hang out around the pump nozzle, even when it's inserted in your gas tank. Those vapors can be ignited by static electricity. Once they get ignited, the fire travels wherever the gas is — inside the pump, inside the car's fuel tank — and the next thing you know, there's a big boom and you're going to have a lot of explaining to do to your insurance company.

You're not safe from static electricity just because most gas stations are short on shag rugs. If you like to start the fuel pump, then get back in your car (because you're cold or lazy and don't want to stand outside) and then go back to return the nozzle to the pump, your little visit inside your car might have charged you up enough to ignite those gasoline fumes. In fact, some experts have found charges of up to 60,000 volts on people who'd gotten in and out of their cars while refueling [source: Hunter].

XXLDICK:
Mbaise women are very expensive. Money wey person suppose use build house...

If I spend such an amount to marry a girl, I will take it as if I bought the girl.

I won't help any of her family members because I have paid my dues.

Her family members shouldn't interfere with my marriage cause the woman is now exclusively my property

Why would I pay that money at first!

If I truly want to marry her, will fvck the shiit outa her and send her to meet her parent as a gift package and watch how that price will fall!

Thandiubani:
As more and more people advocate for the abolition of the bride price, a Nigerian woman by name Vivian Emesaraonye Dimgba from Mbaise, Imo state today shocked many people after revealing that her husband was given a marriage list that was nearly N800,000.

The pretty woman who got married 10 years ago got people talking over the revelation. Gender equality advocates have called for the abolition of 'bride price' and 'marriage list' saying that it makes it look like the woman is nothing but an item for sale. Some say that bride price is not actually the problem, but the list which can drain a man's lifesaving.

Making the revelation, Dimgba wrote: "I'm from Mbaise.. The list alone cost close to 800k and that was my Dad being nice.
If only I knew then, what I know now.

Bride price is a stupid tradition that shouldn't have any place in a modern world. Whether 1 naira or 1 million.
Yes I said it!!!."

She added: "Bride price is a stupid tradition that shouldn't have any place in a modern world. Whether 1 naira or 1 million.
Yes I said it!!!"

Here is how Nigerians reacted:

naija femae don't practice feminist but rather practice stupidity

teacherbim:
Ha ha it happens ooooooo, a neighbor in my street died 2years ago when tried to receive call while starting a generator.

let try to be objective here!


Are you there when it happens?


Or you base your assumption on "them say them say principle"

Probably must be he was filling his gen while it was running

Ournaija:
It's very possible my friend. Your phone operates with DC volts. When calls are coming in the DC volts converts to AC volts and that can ignites fire with high inflammable materials. Have you ever imagined what makes your phone vibrate when calls are coming? You can try it with your phone by placing it near a petrol and call it with another phone. Don't say I didn't warn you.

what make your phone vibrate is due to a device called motor! The same device found in clipper.


Your phone is case seal and there is no how even if ignition occur in your phone can explode a gas!

Arkyval:
Wake up!

For a fore to occur three elements have to be present

Fuel+oxygen+heat= fire

The phone on call produces heat, as a result of the radiation.
The gas of course is a source of fuel.
Oxygen is the air we breath.

Wonder why they always tell u not to use your phone in petrol stations?

We have to follow simple instructions and stop accusing on our village people.

which heat!

Your body do produce heat also!

Your phones doesn't produce any spark that can ignite a fuel source

EsotericMonk:
@bughead
Are you seriously asking this question in the 21century? In this iinternet age?
When you visit a gas station, why do you think there is a no phone use sign?
When you buy a new phone, do you bother to go through the manual for the dos and donts?

But this case has never been recorded in history

actrinity:
His question was in order. How can a phone call ignite a cylinder? Is there any electrical connection to the cylinder?

don't mind those afonja news!

Even the news has k leg!

Hyicene:
its very possible it has appund to someone I know b4 datz y u must turn of yr phone in a filling station

highly impossible!

Must be her car engine that set that thing to exploded.


Apply common sense!

anowrite:
President of Rotary Club International, Olori Opeyemi Omobolawa Fola, has died as result of gas explosion in Osogbo.

This happened barely 48 hours after a gas cylinder explosion triggered by a phone call, killed three people in Sagamu, Ogun State.

The sad incident happened on Wednesday December 13, 2017. The trained senior nurse who was also the President, Rotary Club International, GRA, Osogbo, was said to have gone to the popular Grace Gas, Osogbo, to refill her cylinder, when she suddenly had a call and brought out her phone from her pocket.

According to an eyewitness, the phone exploded instantly, set the woman and her car on fire, flung the cylinder to a far distance. Some others were also said to have been seriously injured as a result of the explosion.

and you call this a pretty lady

classicMan22:
yea bro are indeed stunning and may God bless ur hustle

with positive effort bro!

classicMan22:
Caribbeans women are stunning

wow!

Maybe Caribbean will be my next vacation if I hustle enough money!

lefulefu:
bro its not something we should brag about cos majority of our brothers in Europe and the US always end up with fat ugly white women.see the ones wey some of our guys dey carry come to Ikoyi registry...mehn i wonder where they see some of these ugly fat old Caucasian mamas.

most of our brothers in the Europe are mostly illegal immigrants and therefore seek all means to get green card!

By the way! Europe women (most especially there white women) are very wayward and so useless!

If we are talking about white, we shouldn't be mentioning Europe!


Common guy! There are many different white countries out there and there women do long for blacks!

Backinfront:
STFU, you lying self hating prick. Hohoho. I'm black but i'm not that type of black guy that hates himself and projects his self hatred on the women that look like him. That's fuccking embarrassing. And im going to say it real, decent white women are not chasing black men(yea i don't care). On most dating sites where white women seek for love online, the put up boldly "No black man pls". Not wanted or desired cos most never grow into real men just occupying space and being a waste. Even in reality, the rejects are all we see with black men like you even though there are exceptions no one gives a fucck about exceptions. So don't hype shitt when we know whatsup.

can you comprehend what you even wrote

Let me guess! You search for white women on dating site!

classicMan22:
lol u miss understand me bro, I have no intentions to marry Nigerian woman, my finance is not even Nigeria, but d wey he said it was someone how.

my bad!

Didn't really read it well!

helphelp:
How come our women dey marry dem young handsome men.

Reverse is the case with our men

i don't want to go tribal but you know the particular tribe who engage in such irritating act!

Backinfront:
What do white women have to offer? Even their men are running away from them...if we want to generalise.

Its high time Nigerian men and black men start treating our women right. Like the fragile gender they are, showing them how special they are instead of belittling them all the time. How about that!

what do black women have to offer apart from opening and closing leg like valves

I notice their white men are lazy and don't what to take any responsibility that's why their women are running away from them and chasing we black because them think we are very loving and responsible!


If not for scammer you would have see uncountables white chicks and there black lovers
