which potential harm will it cause? okay, imagine if they were real life scenarios, how will school look like?

Anybody can wear hijab, but not where it is unsuitable. Even in Christianity, there are many regulations which most Christians no longer observe or take serious.

Laws, be they religious, or common, are meant for mankind; but mankind is not made for laws. In other words, mankind must at every stage abandon any laws that are no longer in tune with the time.

If, as is obvious, the use of Hijab or Burqa restrains a female's vision in today's fast-moving world with fast moving objects like vehicles, trains, motorcycles, and bicycles,etc., why must a female be constrained to wear those hijab and burqas that constrain her vision? These days, some Westerners even taunt Muslims with the saying that "Muslims Bag their Females."

Nigeria is a secular state, meaning you should not bring your religion to school period! you can't wear a hijab to school, same way you cant wear a rosary or chaplet.

I don't think some know the meaning of 'public' school. I have always said it long ago, religion, ANY religion should be kept out of public schools. If anyone wants to wear anything relating to their religion or recite anything, go to a religious school. Simple. There are several religious schools around. Why should you import any religion into what belongs to the public? Note, public includes atheists too.

We all want a united Nigeria, yet at public meetings, we ask people to pray according to their religious beliefs. Psychologically, it divides. Now Nigeria has degenerated to a stage where we don't trust ourselves. We select muslim/christian leaders or vice versa. If we are serious about moving forward, we better make religion private. Many advanced/advancing countries don't have religion in it's public sphere. People practise in private and that doesn't make them lesser citizens.
