WHY DO SOME PEOPLE OBSESS OVER THE USE OF HIJAB/NIQAB BY FEMALE STUDENTS? IS IT ROOTED IN HATRED OR A LACK OF EXPOSURE?

In recent days, I've been deeply troubled by the ongoing incident at one of the Federal government Universities in the southwestern part of our country, FUNAAB Abeokuta to be precise. Muslim female students who choose to wear hijab/niqab have allegedly been banned from exercising their right to practice their religion and uphold its values, as enshrined in our constitution on campus. Regrettably, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred. In the past, hijab/niqab were deemed "indecent" and included in the list of inappropriate dressings on campus signposts. This begs the question: Why are some individuals so fixated on hijab?

Could it be because some individuals have limited exposure and haven't had the opportunity to witness how developed countries respect and allow individuals to practice their beliefs? Why must some students and parents resort to legal action before their children can dress in accordance with their faith in a government school? Why?

I've had the privilege of teaching a veiled sister in one of the African countries, where Muslims make up less than 2% of the population. This isn't an issue in many parts of the world. So, why is Nigeria different?

Recently, Science in Yoruba organized a quiz competition, and one of my sisters - Faatimah Luqman Adewumi participated, earning second place. In a video released to congratulate the winners, which included her, it was disheartening to witness the hateful comments and abuse hurled at her simply because she wore the niqab. What's the problem?

Just last week, in Ilorin, while assisting a sister at the immigration office as she waited to be photographed for her international passport, we were told that only one female staff member was available to capture photos for those wearing the niqab, and she was absent. We were advised to return the following day. We should tolerate one another as Nigerians.

I strongly call on the government to be proactive and also impose strict penalties on anyone, including civil servants, regardless of their rank, who infringes upon the rights of individuals. No citizen is superior to another.

I’ve lived in the north
So I’m used to it

Identify I guess

Lemme quickly book space here before una carry the thread go Islamic section. I can't swear an oath to comment biko.

iamtardey:

But some of these develop countries I mentioned don't have identity problem. I think it's intolerance!

Lalasticlala why?

But you just trying to paint others in a bad light
I’ve lived in the north and I know how insufferable and intolerant the Muslim north is, I’ve seen it’s biases first hand
Girls don’t get to wear what they want as enshrined in the constitution
I’ve seen a street preacher almost lynched because “ nan geri muslimi ne” even tho it’s like a mixed area

Each part of Nigeria has its own biases
Live with it or leave that place it’s simple

Same reason people are obsessed with masquerades.

EyeCumInPiss:
Same reason masquerades are feared.

Because it turns them on

Female students or terrorist?

If not for fear of death, over 90% of those students would not use that coverage

Hmm

Sending your child to islamic school instead of public school will solve all these grammar

I love them to put on hijab express no panties

Blame nobody, it is because of violence and terrorism in Islam that is making people to get scare. Sudden changes of policy to permit it where it was not being used before can get people scared. There is no problem if it were used in Islamic schools, but forcing public and Christian schools to allow that when insecurity is on the rise associated to religion may send fear to people initially because when there is religion violence in a public schools, it can be used to attack non-muslims without hijab. Look at this, are you telling Christians here in the link below not to be scared of hijab:

And yet Egypt is putting a ban on niqab

Who do us with religion extremists for Nigeria

HenryTimes:

Precisely! The one i don't understand is insisting on going to a traditionally Christian school with an established dress code and ethos, then wanting to disrupt activities with all sorts of ridiculous demands.....more so when there are Islamic schools abound!

.

The FUNAAB law allows students to practice their religion. But in modesty and in accordance with the institution's laws, rules and regulations guilding religion.
If any student is not satisfIed with the schools rule on Hijab then he/she can leave FUNAAB and register with Crescent university in ABEOKUTA where the Use of Hijab is COMPULSORY for every female student.
Its as simple as that. Issues like this ought not to cause protest or unrest in academic environment. This Laws are boldly written in the school handbook.
Why look for unnecessary trouble when u Can dress in full hijab in CRESCENT University located in the same City.

But does FUNAAB rules supercede that of Nigeria?

Me like Hijab ladies oo.

Not because they are holy but because the hijab things na turn off to the womanizers

Can a female enter your mosques without covering her head?
Do Islamic laws supercede Nigerian constitution?
You will not allow your fellow Yoruba ppl worship their isese in Ilorin but other people must bend their rules for you by fire by force.
In the core Naught,even Christian females must cover their head b4 entering govt offices but others must bend their rules for you trouble makers

You're getting it wrong? Is Funaab for a group or sect or for all Nigerians?

Lukgaf:

Funaab is an independent institution with its own board and governing council who determine their own rules and regulations.
There are thousands of other suitable options for you forever troublesome muslims but una love wahala naa

Can your personal believe and faith supercede an institution as big a FUNAAB

This trouble their are fanni will consume them. Muslims are not docile. You come in peace, we will receive you with love; if however you are unfortunate and come with trouble, we will definitely give you double.

However, I love shameless ladies and worthless women showing us their breasts and pussies on the streets in the name of civilization, but that will never be any of my family members

You need psychiatric evaluation. I know you love the nakked girls in Chris Oyakhilome, Chris Okotie, and other fake Churches, I love it too. I love seeing breasts and pussies everywhere.

But let those who want to cover their bodies do so in peace, if not, we will consume you all. I am sure you know what we can do.

It's quite lugubrious how some sect of people in the guise of religion seek to enforce their own law over age long law governing their host area, community or Institutions.
I don't trade insults with people online. Not every fool that comments deserve it
