The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over the controversy on hijab.
Amasa Firdaus, a graduate of the Nigeria Law School, was denied her called to bar for wearing a hijab to the ceremony and this has attracted criticisms.

Commenting on the development, NSCIA asked federal government through the ministry of justice to call the council for legal education and the Nigerian Law School to order in order to prevent a religious crisis in the country.

The body also demanded that Firdaus be called to bar immediately and that she should be compensated adequately.

“We stand by Abdulsalam Firdaus Amasa who acted within her constitutional rights and we insist that she must be called to the Bar and adequately compensated for the humiliation she was subjected to,” read the statement signed by Salisu Shehu, its deputy secretary-general.

“Our council patiently waits for what the ministry will do as it puts other options on the table including litigation and nationwide protests.

“There is no doubt that Abdulsalam Firdaus Amasa has been victimized, humiliated and traumatized by the Nigerian Law School, the Body of Benchers and the Council for Legal Education on account of her faith. She has been denied of rightfully joining her professional colleagues just because of her religion. She has been exposed to ridicule and opprobrium by standing for her religious rights.

“It begs the question that she is not the only Muslim lady among those concerned as no one will stand for her when she appears before her creator to defend the correctness and otherwise of her actions. We reiterated that she has not violated any law.



“This is the last straw to break the camel’s back and it will be difficult for the Council to persuade Nigerian Muslims from taking these serial injustices against them again.”

Majek Fashek's manager, Uzoma Omenka has slammed Daddy Freeze for calling out the legendary musician who recently performed at the Christmas concert of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo's COZA church in Abuja.



Freeze had earlier said, "I am still searching for the sense in this. I am a huge Majek fan, but do I want to see him perform in a church"

In his response, Uzoma made a video message with Majek Fashek by his side blasting Daddy Freeze for his utterance and warning him never to mention Majek's name else he'll be beaten up.



According to him: "there’s nothing wrong with a world class legend Majek Fashek who’s music sends the right message to be invited to perform in any church. To Daddy Freeze you need to do your research properly before wagging your mouth and speaking like a Kid. And as Majek has said you need to repent. @biodunfatoyinbo thank you once more for impacting positively into the life’s of Young Nigerian and making the believe in themselves."

Growing up in an African home, one of the things we learn as soon as we we're old enough to hit the road is "Avoid Traveling As Much As You Can During The Ember Months"! 

I dare not mention to my mother I'm going to be on the road at any point between December 22nd - January 3rd except of course I'm headed to the airport to catch a plane to the Bahamas; even then she'd ask why I didn't make the trip earlier.

Traveling during this period within Nigeria can be tricky, and if you're inadequately prepared for your trip..... things could go awry...between the pot-hole ridden roads and impatient border-line insane drivers, road travel in Nigeria can crack even the most resilient.

I'm going to be sharing some tips on what has worked for me, and some of the places I've been to that I found absolutely fun. You don't have to spend your Christmas indoors, you do that every other day.

1. ALWAYS CHECK THE CAR.

Before you embark on any road trip, The first thing you want to do is check your car. Do a routine check and make sure everything is in order. You don't want your car to start overheating, or having to worry about if your brake is still as effective.

Also you want to ensure that your papers are complete, and you have a means of identification with you. Especially your drivers license.

2. MAP YOUR ROUTE.

Before you get on the road with everybody in the car, you should have an idea of how long your trip should take, what the best and fastest routes are, what the roads are like, if there are eateries on the way, petrol stations. (except you're super adventurous and you don't mind dragging your car out of a super-huge ditch)

3. PACK FOR TWO.

So you've picked out your destination, everything is in order and its time to pack so you take 3 t-shirts, one sweater and one pair of slacks since you're only gone for 3 days. No! No!! terrible idea. Always pack an extra set of everything. Better safe than sorry yes, Even if you don't need it someone else might.

4. FOOD AND WATER

Dehydration is not a joke and these months are dry months. Fill a cooler with water to last you the day. Refreshments are essential, just incase the eateries on your way decide to take the day off, you don’t starve to death.

5. PAINKILLERS AND OTHER ESSENTIALS 

I like to travel with painkillers; sometimes I need a tab or two after all the ‘get out of my lane’ and ‘can you drive like you went to a driving school’ noise I’d have made on the road before getting to my destination. It is absolutely no fun touring with a headache.

I pack pills for food poisoning (you never know ), mosquito repellent creams, allergy pills and sanitizers. Never forget the sanitizers.

6. MUSIC, GAMES, POWERBANK!

Everyone is usually pumped at the beginning of the trip, but your eyes get tired of the endless stretch of lush green vegetation and you need something to engage yourself. You can go along with a pack of cards, or even play those ‘name name name’ games you don’t need anything for.

Also, never forget the power bank! You don’t want your phone going off on you when it’s time to take pictures or hook up with the rest of the crew.

Okay! Now that I’ve shared a few tips on how I safely arrive at my destination, Here’s are some places  I’ve been to and can recommend.

La Campagne Tropicana.

La Campagne Tropicana is a private 60-acre beach resort in Lekki free trade zone, Lagos. This resort is recognized as one of the best beach resorts in Nigeria. I especially like the way they infuse an African taste into everything, from the chalets, to the hospitality.

The drive there from VI was pretty smooth, we spent about 2 hours on the road and the roads are good enough.

Also there are a lot of water games there, I especially enjoyed kayaking. The kayaks are safe, and there are lifeguards on standby.

The food is quite nice, but you might want to go along with your own drinks and some extra edibles too
