No. Rather it is you that is a little off track. The hijab is generally accepted amongst muslims, but the only unity Christians have is that they all use bible. So when you say 'their own', you are using that word wrongly. Chriatianity has many denominations with dissimilar practices. I know him not. I only saw the professional angle.


Perhaps you may be right in some sense here. Also see the reality in mine that when muslim rally in this manner, violence is just a twitch of an eyelid away. That is what we have come to note in this country.


Before any inferior/superior talk, you must have comparison in mind. Now, the teachings and ways of our religions are different, so personality comparisona is out of question. However, rules and regulations, laws of the land, human rights, e.t.c. are common grounds where the rightness or wrongness of our actions can be weighed out.



I am aware you have reasons for engaging the 'incitements'. However, religion cannot be the jugde here. And thatvis where I think you are missing the point. Our beliefs are different, same goes for our individual perceptions. And only the laws of the land hold firm. If the laws say 'Guilty', religion ceases to matter. That much is the reality for the societally enlightened.

My bad, didnt realise you were an agnostic secularist. Religion transcends human folly like the one you said about law being the protector of religion and the right to worship.

Believe you me, men, in different ages, have tried to abolish religion and failed miserably.

Your argument is flawed because even in secular states religious bodies are exempt from taxation.
Tithes are considered to be in the same category as donations or charitable contributions. They are not the income earned through commercial enterprise and thus they are exempt from taxation.

Youre missing the point... Modern day seciularism grants dominant faith exceptions.... Isnt that what multi cultrlism is all about, being tolerant to the beliefs of others? Or does the matter exclude Muslims? Modern day christinity sounds a lot like xenophobia to me.

If you cannot bare the sight of a woman's personal decision to protect her chastity, at the same time serving her God, through wearing a head garment then you are a sexist and a xenophobe.

HajimeSaito:
"Religious convictions precede secular laws" Only in places like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan? Iran etc. When last I checked, Nigeria is not an IS or islamic state like any of the ones I mentioned.

Haha so you think in a fully secular society pastors liie those in Nigeria would be allowed to get fat on tithes from the congregtation; buying planes and sh!t? A church would be seen like any other private instutution without discrimination and taxed premiums. But because faith precedes secular laws, there are exemptions.

Thats why the church is the worlds biggest tax haven; a loophole for tax dodgers and money launderers.

So exams cannot be written without head covering? This student's conduct is quite suspicious and it merits further investigation. Going without her covering for a mere two hours simply to finish writing her paper in compliance with the exam dress code, should not be a problem unless mischief is at work.

I know for a fact that anything that can be used to hide expos is frowned upon in exam halls. Male students aren't allowed to wear hats.

Are you comparing a tenet of faith to a hat? Guy get in touch with reality! If you study history you would know that religious convictions preceeds state secular laws. If you cant distinguish the secular and the sacred then you wil have a conflict.

HajimeSaito:
If you really believe that tying a piece of cloth to your hair makes you a better human being, then you're welcome to live in your ignorance.
It is what a person has inside her head that makes her righteous and NOT what she has outside her head.

Who made you the judge, juror and executioner of this girl? Her convictions have nothing to do with you. Your prejudice is causing you to doubt her intentions, which is not your business.

HajimeSaito:
Even in some muslim countries female students aren't allowed to cover their heads during exams because of past cases of cheating.

I wonder if Mary, the mother of Jesus would have banned the Hijab and rebuked this young vulnerable girl who wanted to remain chaste?!

Quoting decadent non-conforming countries for their disdain of the Hijab really lays out your christian values.

VhatAmazingDude:
In my opinion, he should have asked her to choose between the examination and wearing an attire that interferes with smooth running of the examination, just to give her a chance. In his shoes though, I don't think I will allow that. Garments that can conceal suspicious materials are not encouraged. We witnessed even tertiary institutions take examinations in singlets and underwears and aside from general murmurs, no special attention was sought. Does that mean the religion of those affected encourage Nudity?

Religion and Western Education ought not to conflict.

Why do they even need the identity of the supervisor sef? These people keep making themselves suspicious.

Here is a classic example of a christians ready to protect their own even when hypocrisy is worded with every sentence they ink down. And for the strangest reason these egotistic dogmatic christians are offended when Muslims rally to the call of their brothers and sisters?

My questions to these sycophants, in your (spiritual) dreams do you see Muslims intellectually enferior? Unable to discern insult from concern? Usually some form of reality perpetuates 'good' dreams, maybe yours are far out of touch.

And usually it is the christians that find mediums to claim their foul play by the Muslims, when blood has spilt. Think carefully before using your hands to spew incitement; it might not be in your favor.

Charismatic he certainly is not! Buhari understands more than anyone that he is aphasic, a muffled felicitation wouldnt go down well at the wine fest.

Let the dullard start with his cleavage bearing profligate that he calls wife.

Ironically, Nigeria goverment elites will give more money and attention to this function than to the nations' Olympic representatives.. Even the president gave the couple a special mention.

Austerity over where?

Vicolan:
Why is she not putting on her Ijab naw?

When did she ever have it on? Hijab is not just clothing, it's modesty and modesty is inclusive of character and clothing. The hijab of a Muslim man is to lower his gaze.

Shaking the hand of a non-mahram is not what we Muslims identify as Hijab.

The aim of Hijab is to protect ones modesty and that of others.

It is unfortunate that after so long (2 years) of being passive and introspective towards the topics and comments on this board that it is this topic that excites me.

David Cameron was terrifically emphatic when saying Nigeria is fantastically corrupt.

Nigeria in general and Nigerians in particular. You guys have a warped/demented understanding of many basic ideals that other nations take as intrinsic norms, without the slightest emphasis on strength of intelligence or level of credibility.

I am never first to critique human errors, but when i see woeful and willful aberration, it is sinful not to intervene.

To be brutally frank, corruption has an influence on every single Nigerian, who grew up [i.e. was educated or remained uneducated] in any part of Nigeria. All of you secretly want the forbidden fruit or illicit wealth.

Nigeria's FG should consider dedicating a day to the worship of their predominate diety - Corruption, or what others may call submission to whims and desires. Truly, there needs to be acknowledgment of the role corruption plays in the day to day runnings of an average nigerians life.

Here there is a story of woman who happens to own a 40 million Naira bag, a State figure, an influential representative to the millions of hard working Nigerian women. Not only does she own it, she intends to flaunt it at every opportunity.

Please ask yourself, if you are truly a hardworking woman, does this woman represent you!

For if she truly does, then you are no less of a liar and cheat than she is!

Where in Nigerias society today is the place for flagrant ostentation and self serving headonism? In the ministries? On the streets? In the homes? WHERE IS THE REFLECTION OF THE LIFE THIS WOMEN HAS OPTED TO LIVE - other than in crime and corruption?

Im a Muslim and i can confidently say Aisha Buhari is fully corrupt, and since she is, so too must her husband, his acolytes and cronies. Aisha Buhari is in a world of her own; a profligate, the progeny of the likes of IBB and Abacha; she basks in the status quo. Growing up around illicit earnings she probably believes God loves her most. HA!!

WOMAN where is the illusion of advice of your spouse to dress in Islamic attire? Or were they merely costumes for the APC party? Tarry on...

You guys can disseminate lies to millions of enchanted human worshiping zealots but you cant spread it pass the ocean.
