But why is this hijab a thing of concern?
If they want to enforce hijab, invariably no need for uniform because other religion can put on what they like.


This is one of the reason I don't support the Muslim Muslim ticket.

Imagine what will happen in Nigeria eventually he wins ( which will never happen).

The keyword here is “…..if desired”

Because some people will not read before they start commenting.

I like it when the rules of the courts are enforced, even though the judgement was given in July 2022, still not bad.

The freedom of religion as enshrined and guaranteed by our constitution cannot be compromised.

So far there is not compulsory in it….ALL GOOD

May God bless Lagos State

Africa

When will The FG enforce the court Judgement on the release of NNAMDI KANU??


The Islamic agenda is very real. They won't see it now since they are looking for votes for their re-election.

.

Any other contrary opinion should be forwarded to the Appeal court. Simple.

If religion no finish Nigeria, nothing will.

ok

As far as I am concerned every Nigerian should be allowed to dress in accordance with their religion

TheNiceGuy:

ok

Notify me when Hijab craze gets to Rivers.

Very good

There you have it Nigerians!

How do they say it again, the witch cried at night and the baby died in the morning. Muric just issued the order yesterday, and here we are.

That's the foretaste of your M-M ticket there if it ever succeeds.

APC that doesn't obey rule of law have suddenly started doing so. Isn't it wonderful?

Good development.

Good for them
.. Who hijab help...

Hmmmmmm

Let this hijab rubbish not enter my beloved Edo State

All these Rubbish will be corrected and dealt with as soon as HE president peter Obi has been sworn in as our new president come 2023

Babaric

their business,but as usual, Muslims with misplaced priority can't think beyond religion

Fallacy.

People should start wearing their regalias to school as well.

I know this won't work.

Christians hope you are seeing their agenda.

Vote wisely in 2023.

ALHAMDULILLAH

.

I have nothing to say on this. But let's talk about revamping your market presence online and offline using Creative visual designs.

Need quality design for that advert? Dm or quote me

I hope you all now Know their is now a hidden Agenda in this Country... That they Christians of Nigeria Don't know... This A wake up call to every Christian. If you say it's Ok, Fine when things go spoil na all of us go suffer ram....
