Stop worrying what others think. Quit being a people pleaser.

So true. As a finance analyst, I can't but agree with all of this article. Every country determines to an extent how much its currency exchanges for. Nigeria has a long way to go and there's reason to suspect 1000ngn/$1 is a possibility.

Finance management. If you had 10m, I could tell you something though.

What exactly is the deal about? Can we at least know?

Its alright,how much do you know about the American law??,are you a citizen??....This is from wikepedia and i quote "One exception is the case of Sultaana Freeman, a Florida woman who had her driver's license cancelled due to her wearing of the niqab in her identification photo. She sued the state of Florida for religious discrimination, though her case was eventually thrown out"....try to read and make research before you assume and say what you dont know...there's discrimination against it in the US also....what is bad is bad no matter how we try to coat it.

What is this one saying? What did I say and what are you countering? It's a fact the niqab (full face covering) is legal in public places in America. People aren't subjected to the harassment they get in Nigeria. And for the umpteenth time, I'm saying the law should be applied in cases like that. In the US, she'd have been taken into a private place accompanied by a female officer whom she could show her identity. I know this cos I should know. Isn't that more polite?

Wearing the niqab is not "bad,bad, no matter how we try to coat it." People who wear it feel they have a religious obligation to do it and that should be respected.

Bevista:
Correct, but if the lady in question was at the American embassy and it was required of her to remove her 'veil', would she not comply?
---
Apparently, in Nigeria she thinks she deserves special treatment because she is a minister's wife.

if she were at the American embassy and thus on American soil, then American law should apply. American law allows wearing it in public, at airports, during police contact, etc, and at certain instances the wearer may be requested to reveal her identity in private. The law should simply guide us.

What we shouldn't resort to are cheap words, like those being bandied about on this thread by people who can't bear seeing people different from themselves.

RickRichards:


Really? And why's that, you conjured up algorithms to cover your tracks and render your virtual activities untraceable? Or did you just memorize every single moral in the world?

The first part would have been sweet, if I could easily do it. Wouldn't it?
But then, I just don't play needy. She clearly was clinging and desperately needed someone, I guess.

Bevista:
Your maturity and thick skin is well noted. A rare attribute on this faceless forum.

Nice to observe you stay on the issue and not let some persons with low self esteem drag you into their playground.

Thanks buddy!
These guys don't even know that it's an ongoing issue in the developed world, britain, canada, the US, all over the place, as Islam grows into the first world. France banned the niqab already "in public". Canada has not done that. A whole lot of fight raging. But the law should take its course in every instance. And Muslims, if they want to wear the niqab, should use the law to chase their desires. In a sane society, laws create or limit freedoms, not rebuke, hate, insult or vitriol.

olajide8:


I am sorry to say this, but you really surprise me with your myopic point of view aimed at trying to support what Is wrong-
On an international passport can you cover your face?

On your drivers license can you cover your face?

On your national I.D or voters registration card can you cover your face?

What is wrong is wrong, if I were there, I would have shouted suicide bomber, so they can just gun her down-

If you are about to enter a foreign country, and you get to immigration, say their airport- and you want to pass, if you look like lagbaja and try and pass would they allow you? - telling us that your religion doesn't allow you remove your Hijab? Stay in you house- where your right starts and stops, because where your rights stop is where another persons rights starts, and you should understand, and that manner of dressing infringes on every other persons right, in a public place, especially as we have a security problems.

Again, it's not hijab. It's a niqab. Okay? Perhaps if you knew the first meaning about what you are talking, you'll know better how to argue.

Now to your point. Again, go read my first comment on the thread. I said the law should take its course there, whatever that is. I'm sure Nigeria has got laws regarding face covering, as do other countries of the world. And in each instance the law should take its course. Having said that, this shouldn't create room for insulting other's religious obligations. Nuns cover their heads too and people don't often throw a fit about that. But when it's Muslims, all hell is let loose. I'm not a Muslim, but i don't support insulting others as many of those in this thread have gone about it. Dimwits, stupid, suicide bomber, etc. These are the words you see all over the thread. That's not fair to the sensitivities of a billion people who hold their religion dear.

The law should take its course, whatever that is. But please, tolerate others. C'est fini.

MrDude:


Wtf! I have no words for you, other than you being a very shallow minded dimwit Why not go to the Canadian embassy dressing like a ninja, let's see if you'll be allowed entry into the premises!

Do i have to repeat myself all over? You see the bolded? It doesn't get to me others take note.

Now to your question. If you read my first comment, you'd learn i said the law should apply in cases like this. But you see, hate and emotion take over the senses of people like you who can't tolerate other people's religious obligations. In your heart of hearts you are driven into using instant rebuke merely because her covering is strange to you and not for other reasons. Grow up mister. Who's the dimwit now?

charlesucheh:
Mr man shut ur trap toilet mouth. respected agreed but not when it is infringing on other peoples right...... I wish to see that woman eye to eye and she will tell the minister that has been enslaving her... illiterate stupid, religious fanatic of a woman..... rubbish!!!!!!!!

Okay, let me clarify something. Perhaps all others quoting me will also learn from that. You see that bolded statement? It actually doesn't get to me
Now to your question, how in the world of worlds is she "infringing on other people's right"? How? By wearing a niqab?

femi4:
Stop being gullible, we are not talking about voting here.

We are talking about COMPLETE SECURITY MEASURES where all Information that can identify you are computed. You can't have a school id card in CANADA without your face on it.

What is this one saying? You started with complete security measures and ended with "school id" card. Is phone registration a school id card? As I said earlier, the law does cover instances like this and that's what should be respected. Not the shallow rebuke people like you immediately launch into when you see someone who doesn't share your point of view.

femi4:
Perhaps you need to be informed about identity using facial recognition.

Without your face being captured, you are not ready for 21st century technology, I ll advice you to be far away from stuffs like BVN, Driver's license, NIC, Int passport etc

Oh really? And have you heard of something called Fingerprint Identification?
In canada, you can vote while covering your face in totality. Go figure! Merely because you can tout one of two stuffs apparently doesn't make you so knowledgeable.

The finance industry is taking its own heat. No one is talking about that.

demoore1:


Thunder fire your stinky mouth there. That is exactly how your sisters bomb public places in the name of religious belief and culture.

Easy on the hard words. Buy yourself some sense.

femi4:
The law of the land should be respected too.

Why embrace technology when you know you cannot accept its guidelines

And who says the guideline of technology is uncovering your face?

RickRichards:
I even thought the thread title read: "Man Asks MathsChic To Delete His Photo From Her Instagram Page"...lol

This, this is none of my business.

Lol. I can't be found in such situations

hilaomo:
you high on weed right?

No, I'm not

kowema:
Who she be wey she no fit unveil her ugly face??..
Imagine threatening a police man who is doing his job..

Meanwhile, na who the face don help??

Why this? No reason to resort to bad words. Other people's religious or cultural decisions should be respected.

This is so French or Canadian, lol. The law should guide us in instances such as this. I believe the burka needs to be removed for identification reasons in Nigeria, but I'm not sure. And @OP, it's the burka, not the hijab.

Here we go
Clearly the earlier poster has a lot to understand about fundamental economics. You don't compare apple and pineapples; neither do you buy apples for the price of pineapples merely because they both grow out of the ground.

lol. As a government official in Nigeria, you don't work. And when people ask questions, they are hushed.

Why should that cause anyone headaches?

And I don't know why they have such sensitive skin. They need to learn a lesson or two from Linda Ikeji who is never bothered by all the talk around her.

This can't be true

Nihilist:


The fact that you were able to use the internet for free in public spaces like shopping malls does not make it 'free'. The shopping mall still has to pay for it. The internet service provided was not a public service - It's just an addon to entice people into doing more business at the mall.

If you came to my house and used my internet for free and with my permission, does that mean that the internet in my house is free?


Internet does not cost next to nothing bro. I currently pay around 40 pounds monthly for a mid tier broadband service.

Of course. Nothing comes free anyways. But what he's saying is quite right; it's basically "free" for the end-consumer.

Lol

Hehehe. Crazy funny. You'll get no girl

cutie

Why is no one trading GBPUSD? It's been such a downward trend anybody can profit from it. Besides, strong indications exist it's destined for as low as 1.38, especially given recent revelations by the BOE.

such a cutie

oops! This doesn't look like an hospital. Looks more like a wasteland.

Looking cute . Unfortunately, they were way too consumed by the power that came with the uniform.
