Is it a crime if they allow Muslim female lawyers wear hijab wen d Christian can dress d way they like. Be just man

And who says christians do as they like?

Did you hear CAN speak out on the case of the Christian girl that deemed NySC uniform beneath her? She quit quietly and no one bat an eyes!

Just accept that your religion is chaotic! Na chaotic be una way.

smoy:
any body is free to use anything he dim fit, as far as you don't tampered with the right of a Muslimah especially.

Exactly. Chaotic na Muslim way. Show them the chaos you're made of, brother!

forzarush:
Raise your hand over your head and give yourself a knock. she is not ' the Muslim sisters that (has) have been called before her' and as to whether or not they are inferior,you should know since you seem to think you and your 'people pointers' know about Islam. Goan carry dictionary and look up the word fanatism.

Only the wretched wears Hijabs!

AgentOfAllah:


I'm sorry, but your argument is rather absurd! It is a secular court, not an anti-religion court. The goal of secularism has never been to eliminate religious expressions. It is to remove any direct influence of religion from state transactions. So, please tell me, how does wearing hijab interfere with state transactions?

How does not wearing Arabic Hijab interfere with state transactions?

maasoap:
Because the Nigeria constitution permits her.

Why didn't the same Nigerian constitution permits women in Sharia law practise?
Are Muslim women supposed to have formal education according to Allah sef?
Yeye.

Farmerforlife:


She is not in Rome. She is a Nigerian in Nigeria, where her father's tax, along with the tax of other Muslims, has contributed to the coffers of the Federal government which funds the law school.

Furthermore, the constitution, the study and interpretation of which the same law school purports to call to, grants her the rights and freedom to practise her religion without molestation. This was infringed upon and should be redressed at once. She will never forfeit her hard earned certificate, forget that angle.

Finis. I am not interested in Rome or Romans.

Exactly! She's a Nigerian, not Arab!

If she wants to wear Hijab, let her go to Suadi.

Farmerforlife:


The person in question decided Allah as God for herself. It was her personal choice. No one is forcing you to wear the hijab, nor is anyone dictating to you. If you so strongly believe that you can 'choose to be anything as a Nigerian, then you should afford that right to her as well, also as a Nigerian; who chooses to be a Muslim, and have Allah dictate for her.

The gele is your choice, the hijab is hers. As you were correct in pointing out, neither of you has the right to dictate to the other.

Thank you for your contribution.

But guess what? We're no Arabs! We're Africans, hence our cultural wears should suffice for all disgruntled parties!

Moreover, she agreed to join law institution hence, she's under the rule of such institution! No one forced her to enrol into such organisation.

If you enrolled into a porn academy fully knowing that you will be instructed to act nude and have sex with strangers, then I see no reason why you wouldn't abide by it unless you're senile!

Isn't it funny that Islam permit no formal education for women and banned women from sharia law practise but the question is why is she not contesting against such practise?

AgentOfAllah:
I have seen many claims on here that wearing hijab to one's call to bar is against the law, but I have yet to see anybody cite the specific law that is being violated. This is not about Amasa's religion, it's about her secular rights, and in this case, the law school, in spite of its unique position as the nurturer of Nigeria's judicial institution, is evidently the erring party here. The law school should ferociously adhere to, and promote the spirit of Nigeria's constitution, not brazenly violate it, as it has done against this young lady. I'm happy she's brave enough to stand her ground, and I stand with Amasa Firdaus!

Funny enough, islam permit no formal education for women!

Let her go and contest women right to practising sharia law before coming here to spout nonsense.

As for some women that loves covering their head in their call to bar, 'gele' should suffice for them because we're proper africa men, not arabs!

BenzEne1:


If the Sango worshipers want to fight for their right. It has got nothing to do with us. They can do as they please. Good luck.to them. Practicing the religion appropriately is what matters.

Verse (24:31) - Translation
“...and not display their beauty except what is apparent, and they should place their khumur over their bosoms...

What is the meaning of “khumur” used in this verse?
Khumur خُمُرٌ is plural of khimarخِمَارٌ , the veil covering the head.

Al-Munjid, which is the most popular dictionary in the Arab world, defines al-khimar as “something with which a woman conceals her head —ما تغطى به المرأة رأسها .” Fakhru ’d-Din al-Turayhi in Majma‘u ’l-Bahrayn (which is a dictionary of Qur’anic and hadith terms) defines al-khimar as “scarf, and it is known as such because the head is covered with it.

So the word khimar, by definition, means a piece of cloth that covers the head.

Then what does the clause “placing the khumur over the bosoms” mean?
According to the commentators of the Qur’an, the women of Medina in the pre-Islamic era used to put their khumur over the head with the two ends tucked behind and tied at the back of the neck, in the process exposing their ears and neck. By saying that, “place the khumur over the bosoms,” Almighty Allah ordered the women to let the two ends of their headgear extend onto their bosoms so that they conceal their ears, the neck, and the upper part of the bosom also

We're africans though, not arab!

If your Allah can't allow africa women to put on their cultural garbs before him like he created them to be, then Allah is a partial god, not worthy of africa men!

And if muslim wants a covering on their head in their call to bar, our africa "gele" should suffice for them! Lovely africa culture.

Empiree:
Go ahead....whatever rock your boat. Talk is cheap. Just wear gele on Bar gown to the Bar already and post your picture here

Yes nah. After all, your muslim sister, fidaus taught us the way.

Africa all the way! Lovely africa culture.

Empiree:
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?

Hijab is NOT arab culture but Islamic culture

Hijab is arabic culture, not africa culture! That's all I need to know!

And yeah, gele wearing is coming back in full force! Go and rock your head on a rock if you're pained!

Empiree:
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?

Funny how you say wig is euphemism to christianity. Lol. Wig is actually foreign hairs, not Christianity, those hair could be made from Indian for all we care!

And yeah, I agree that there's no use conforming to any set of colonial rules, be either Arabic or the british! Africa cultures must be back in full force. A very colourful "gele" would suffice for all party.

Empiree:
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.

Why are you crying nah?

NBA says no wearing on the head, you and your sister cried.

And I suggested colourful 'gele', a proper africa wear, you still dey cry.. Note that this 'gele' also addresses the Nuns issue!

I repeat, stupid arabic wear will not be allowed in our institution! Cry me an Ocean.

To be frank, some little children could be annoying.

We have one in our compound who always cry whenever he isn't on her mother's back and this is a kid who's almost 4 yrs old! Sometime, I feel like giving him a sound slap! Yeye.

Empiree:
As i said before, ode nie. You are now sounding more like islamophobes in the West @underlined



Now this should further resolves your dilemma.

I really don't understand what you're trying to say..

Why exactly did you want to permit an arabic wear in our institution?

Your women want a head covering in their call to bar and I suggested "gele", a proper african cultural garb yet you keep on gnashing your teeth. What else do you want me to do? Yeye.

Idrismusty97:
Meanwhile this is one of his daughters graduating from the same law school without Hijab. Dear Nigerians isn't it time we tear down the oligarchy system we have now and build a truly Democratic, free and republican nation? We don't need these hypocritical pastors, sultans, emirs, imams or whatever they call themselves telling us what to do. We don't need them in our constitution either. Why must the poor and powerless be the ones to adhere to religious doctrine and these old men roam free? Haven't you ever thought of that dear Nigerians?

Only the wretched wear hijabs!

Empiree:
You confused?. As i said before, Ode nie

If you want to become an Arab, go live in saudi!

We're africans, not arabs! It's not by force!

ibrokola:

Stick to your notion please, you're on track. To know more, just Google/YouTube on infections and diseases gotten from pork. Ever heard of Taenia sonia and taenia sagnata? They are worms in pigs that cannot be killed by boiling or freezing. So why undergo the stress of consuming them.

Taenia sagnata is found in Cow! Get your facts right.

Empiree:
I have said it, Ode nie

Goan sleep! Your head is only filled with religion. Funny how educated folks are reduced to illiterates because of a religion.

Empiree:
When i said you are ill informed, perhaps, you should know I was right. Who told you Islam is arab culture?. Is that black woman, who is a judge in New York Arab too?. Ode ni e.

And whether it is gele or hijab, it is simply headscarf for muslim women. How many nigerian christians even wear gele?. Ode nie

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!

Empiree:
This is niqa (fave veil) currently being advertised by new York authority in theIr subway platform. Who the hell is Nigeria?

Well, it's for Arab and Jews, or anyone who loves such attires! After all, no one's stopping your Muslim sisters from wearing their niqa on the streets! But it's a no no in our institution, now you can go and slam your head on a rock if you're pained!

Empiree:
This is nyc subway. NY hijabi civil servants.

Are to more secular than America? . Òdę

What's this one talking about?

Look closely, those are arabs! I don't care what arab wear on their heads, they can even come to live in Nigeria with such attires like they did in America but what I won't permit is any stupid arabic wears in our institution!

If women wants covering on their head in Law, let them tie gele! Now, that's a proper africa culture! Yeye.

Empiree:
you guys need exposure. Your are so ill-informed and illiterate.

You're the one in need of an exposure!

We will not permit any dirty arabic wear in our institution!

Farmerforlife:


No, we are not mandated to abide by any rules that oppose the law set by the Creator. If we do that, we are giving in to Satanic pressure. We never do that.

Na religion fill this one head. Who's to decide allah as a god for a Nigerian?

I can choose to be anything as a Nigerian and your Allah don't dictate for me.

That said! The act of wearing "gele" should be allowed to bar, not Hijab which is no culture of ours! As simple as abc.

Sterope:
So because she has committed worse sins, she should commit all sins...wow! What a way to reason? How do you sleep at night when you easily dismiss other people's religion? Who are you to talk about the sins she has comitted or would commit? How does it affect the use of the hijab?

Religion aside, it would be hypocritical of you to stand up to some sexism rules in the legal profession when it finally brews.

We are not allowed to wear the wig into the hall and the wig is not enough head covering for some heads.

Only the wretched wear Hijabs! The rich northerners don't! As a matter of fact, what should be permitted is the act of wearing colourful "gele" to the bar, which is our africa culture, not an arabic culture we don't know of.

Empiree:
Hijabi doctors in America
Hijabi lawyers in America

Those are Arabs nah. What kind of dullards are Nigeria churning out everyday?

Empiree:
It is high time Nigerian Christians be silenced. To hell with Kayode Fani. Wtf is wrong with you? . Is Nigeria more secular than USA?. Are you people fvcking crazy.

Why Africans are their own problems. Isn't Nigerian constitution guarantee protection of the way she dressed. Please, Christians need to put a stop to this crap. You are becoming nuisances everyday. Is Nigeria the first nation to adopt democracy or secularism?

Kayode Fani, I don't bite my tongue for you. I think you need to focus on those fraudulent pastors and ritualist pastors. You need to be quiet.

Below is New York City Hijabi Women

Which africans are you talking about? Is Hijab wearing an african culture?

As a matter of fact, what should be allowed is the act of wearing "gele" (head gears) to the bar because that's an africa culture, not any arabic culture that we know not!

olarid02:


Ooh, sorry. Had I known that you have nothing upstairs other than the lies you were brainwashed with, I wouldn't have bordered answering you.
So, please, accept my apology.

I can see you've got nothing to say.

Religion thinking illiterate who thinks his religion laws supersede contractual agreements! What kind of dullards are these? Lol.

olarid01:


What rule and regulation? A rule that negates the constitution of the country that established it? So, they are more important than the country as a whole? Really, enlighten me...

Go sign a contract with someone and come here to tell us of how Nigeria constitution based on ya religion makes the contract invalid! Yeye.

bigtt76:
Kwara muslim girls and their Hijab are like that Jacob Zuma meme

Only the wretched wear Hijabs!

olarid01:


I carefully refrained from using abusive words when responding to your argument (it isn't because I don't know how, we just don't do that, at least, being the initiator), but since you've started it, let's play then.

Believe me when I say this, your stupidity transcends normalcy, it have no bound.
What's is my problem with your comparison? I made a valid point you can't respond to and you are using what I said about your comparison to cover it up.
The reason I pointed out how absurd your comparison is was that you are portraying yourselve as a slowpoke and I'd like it if you can at least look into it and caution yourself before you do it in a more unforgiving place.

And your BOARDING school, if their set of rule negates what is within the country's constitution, then it is merely a criminal organization, nothing more.

Lol. Illiterate forming to be educated..

The faster you realise that every institution has it own set of rules and you choosing to enrol into such institution makes you a participant, the better for you. Smh.

Go wear ya hijab and come to bar na. Chaotic folks!
