There's a big different between a rich Muslim and a poor Muslim. The both may attend the same mosque , read the same Quran, but their reasoning is far different.


Most of the Islamic laws only have effect on the poor Muslims and not the rich. The rich Muslims dont give a fucck about this hijab. Go to Northern Nigeria and see how female muslim kids who are from wealthy homes move around with not even a scarf on their head, but the poor ones move around with one smelling long hijab like soutane always.

Islam religion is really a big burden to the poor Muslims.

On hijab and controversy in the State of Harmony, By Olabisi Deji-Folutile
Kwara State has been in the news. The bone of contention is hijab. While this is not an attempt to trivialise the importance of hijab to a Muslim faithful

Muslims see school uniforms as being beyond mere wears.

They believe the present-day uniform takes its origin from the western world and therefore should not be binding on them. They have also said that hijab should be seen as the fundamental human rights of Muslims. I agree with these submissions absolutely.

Let’s face it, Nigeria is not the only country where the two main religious groups-Christians and Muslims have been at loggerheads on use of hijabs in schools.

Never mind that some Muslim countries have had cause to ban hijab to protect their children in the past. Tunisia and Morocco are African countries with large populations of Muslims that have banned the burqa.

Also, in 2015, Congo, Chad, Guinea and Cameroon, banned hijab in schools to counter Boko Haram attacks.

So, what is the way out?

I love the submission of a Muslim religious scholar, Abdallah Kheri, who chairs the Islamic Research and Education Trust in Kenya. To him, both Christians and Muslims are rivals, as they both call on people to join their faiths. They are always looking for customers, and they shall forever be rivals. Knowing that this is the situation, politicians should stop fuelling the rivalry among the two faiths.



Agreed Muslims have a right to wear hijab to school. Mission schools equally have the right to uphold the traditions and tenets of their founders against the use of hijabs in their schools.

Some people have argued that the mission schools are funded by public funds and should therefore be controlled by it. They however forget that government didn’t build these schools.

The people that built those schools had a purpose for investing their resources in them. They did not envisage that the government would take over these schools.

To that extent, the government also has a moral responsibility to respect the vision and mission of the school founders. Under normal circumstances, mission schools, be they of Islamic or Christian faiths, should be run by their owners. It is an anomaly for government to take over a school and subsequently impose the wish of one faith on another.

Moblux:
Talking from both sides of the mouth. Your article last week gave you out on religious mode betraying your secularism garb. This latest article you have been your thoughts last week on this issue. I am sure you had a rethink after backlash from so many people.

If wearing hijab is a right of muslim woman, then I ask:
1. Why are muslim female VIO officials not wearing yet?
2. Why are muslim female Fire Service officials not wearing yet?
3.Why are muslim female NSDC officials not wearing yet?

In fact, Road Safety, Police, DSS, and all the armed forces formation women, why are they not on hijab?

What is stopping these bigots to change the first chapter of the constitution that states that Nigeria is a secular state.

Grace001:
Muslims are perpetual trouble makers where there is peace

If hijab is an identity for Muslim woman why can’t our muslim women in security agencies wear hijab on their uniform ? ?

Hijab isn’t part of the Nigeria security agencies uniform so it’s not allow likewise hijab isn’t part of the missionary school uniform so it won’t be allowed

If you want your wards to wear hijab send them to Muslim schools where hijab is part of their school uniform. It’s very SIMPLE

Them use wahala/trouble swear for Muslims. Wetin self ?

ake Ogun State as an example. Ajah’s article shows that “in Abeokuta South Local government, where six schools were said to have been handed over to the original owners by the government, the total school enrolment of these schools in 2008 was 12 663.

But by 2010, after the hand-over, students' enrolment dropped drastically to 401 for the simple reason that school fees were high. Consequently, 12 262 students could not get access to secondary education. In Ijebu Ode, enrolment dropped from 8 729 in 2008 to 876 by 2010.”

Maybe those schools were designed for less students

jamace:
NIGERIA IS A SECULAR STATE........RELIGION IS A PERSONAL CHOICE...

Tonalphs:
aunty, you think they're not coming to that soon? give them a yard and they'll take a mile. give them hijab in missionary schools and see these fanatics demand for hijab in the military and paramilitary sectors. after all in civil service offices in the North, they have mosque inside and observe their prayers.
I stand with these missionary schools. no hijab. take your children to the hijab loving schools. nonsense and religion.

valentineuwakwe:
you did not even hit the nail of the head, perhaps trying not to please or displease any of the religious set. truth be told, a tenant can never dictate to a landlord how his house will be run...a Muslim came to a Christian missionary school which is public school on paper but still being funded by the missionaried and they said conform to our school rules on uniform....una begin shout.
ok let me ask, can the same be ask in a Muslim mission sch? they have never allow a chapel in there premises, not to talk of allowing a C.R.K. teacher..even ordinary fellowship gathering they will not allowed the Christians do..so what are we saying here....
Muslims wahala just tire person form this country, is that how other Muslims behave in other country? no wonder Slovakia ban them n any mosques in there country!
