What is the origin and purpose of uniform? OP should research that and it will clear his/her ignorance.

For other more willing learners, the uniform ware was meant to achieve the exact opposite of what OP fo-olishly/ignorantly advocates for here. It was suppose to close the social divide and allow everyone be uniform in appearance as much as possible. The issue of some overzealous folks, showing up that they have kidnapped an imaginary being called god or prophet, so therefore can supremely interpret the words of the god/prophet, is laughable at best. What makes you more mislim than someone from Abia or Delta with contradicting views?
Imagine fool like you who couldn't express his concern without abuse.

Go and sit down if you can't tolerate each other.
Moreover, I didn't post to seek for your opinion.
lolz.

Your desperation to make this a Muslim vs Christian fight is appalling.

It has never been a clash between Muslims and Christians.

It's always the Muslims attacking other religions. Either threatening them to do this or that or actually killing them.

It's never us "attacking each other" or "fighting one another".

No one fights or clashes with the Muslim. They are always the one brandishing their weapons

It's the Muslims always poking their hands and weapons in the face of everyone.

And then turn around to tell everyone to tolerate them.

It's annoying and appalling.

The case you referred is about Lagos State school. Where is the school that the op referred?
If I address you by the name you deserve to be called, the mod would ban me. So I will be respectful.

Oga, Supreme Court of Nigeria is the apex court of law. To buttress my point, at the same time Lagos went to court over this hijab issue, there was also another hijab case that emanated from Osun state. Osun had to wait for the supreme court’s ruling on Lagos case. The SP ruling has national application and its final.

Give me an example of a school that sacrifices pupils legs, in history of Nigeria or the world.

You can also give me an example of a school that beats pupils to death in Nigeria or the world.

I really want to know what achools have such code of conduct.

I am waiting to hear the example.
oga it is just an example to show you that a schools code of conduct or dressing is not superior to the national laws of the country.

I saw a school yesterday in Dopemu (Shasha to be specific). The girls after closing from school on their way home. 2or 3 among them dressed in hijab

Lagos is a law abiding state
Does that apply to all the schools in Lagos?

Go around several Lagos schools and be honest with yourself.

It is not all schools in Lagos State that allows the use of Hijab in the school. The school is not about your religion or spiritual beliefs, it is a place expected to be focuses on academics.

The schools are expected to leave the Churches, Mosques and Traditional Worshipping Outfits to teach your children spiritual knowledge. The best schools can do is Basic IRS, CRK and that is it.

I am telling to take a tour around Lagos schools to verify your your position.

I didn't expect anything better. Nor be you again? There are hijab-wearing schools around, let her go there. Extremists are never satisfied. Always wanting to break institutional laws to satisfy their extremist appetite.

Isn't Nigeria a secular state? Aren't there Islamic schools she could easily be enrolled in? Troublemakers, that's what you guys are. Thank GOD for Israel, the antidote to Islamic extremism.

When you want to site inference, ensure that your case inference relates to the cases in view.

Otherwise, your point is not made or your point is not corroborated.

What is the relationship between schools dis allowing hijab and schools beating pupils to death or schools cutting students legs?

Does that make sense to you?

Why will all school in Lagos allow Islam to impose their culture on them? That's if you want to make hijab Islam issue sha? If I establish my school now I will now allow hijab, let say, I don't want, because one supreme court say nonsense, why Al-hikman university forcing all students to wear hijab? Yet nobody complaining

Why do we still have schools in Lagos, Osun and recently Kwara that doesn't allow other attire but uniform in school?

Well, I think our Muslim folks are simply trying to compel other religion to accept their practice; impose their practice on schools and every other social structures of the society.

That is the reason they want to force Sharia on the South West too.

Regarding the SC ruling having national application, yo can do yourself the favor of typing the question into google search

Regarding Kwara or any other school violating the SC ruling on hijab, the school authorities are simply people like you—ignorant, uneducated and their position driven by hate and sentiment against Muslims. Not one of law.

The supreme Court ruling can be inferred as a case law when a similar case arises in court by the judge or lawyer.

The supreme Court ruling you refer was specifically on Lagos State.

For you, it is ignorance but for us and others that are realistic, we see it as Orderly, Discipline and Academics first, not religion, in school.

When Will We Truly Learn Tolerance?

Yesterday, a disturbing video went viral showing a female student in Ilorin (a Federal Government school, for that matter) being barred from entering her school simply because she wore a hijab.

Honestly, one cannot help but ask: When will we learn to tolerate one another in this country?

Has the Nigerian Constitution suddenly changed to deny people the freedom to profess and practice their faith openly? What happened to the Supreme Court judgment that explicitly affirmed the right of Muslim girls to wear hijab in schools if they so wish?

Even more ironic this happened in Ilorin, a city with a rich Islamic heritage and majority Muslim population. If such acts of intolerance can happen there, what should we expect elsewhere?

But then again, what exactly is the problem?
If my daughter wears a hijab, or my wife chooses to wear a niqab, have I forced it upon anyone’s daughter? Why then should it become a national issue?

The truth is, until we begin to genuinely respect each other’s faith and freedom, peace and unity will remain elusive in this country. Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and that freedom must mean the right to live our beliefs, not just declare them.

Even in some Western countries, with a much smaller Muslim population, women are allowed to wear hijab or niqab freely in schools and public spaces. So, what exactly is our excuse here in Nigeria, a country that proudly claims to uphold religious liberty?

Let’s be honest, this isn’t about dress code. It’s about tolerance, respect, and justice.
And until we uphold these, we’ll keep failing as a truly united people.

Funny enough, you’re absolutely right about that. It is exactly what I thought — especially considering your rather limited understanding of the subject. Extremely limited, in fact. Anyone with even basic legal knowledge should know that a court’s ruling anywhere in the country serves as a reference point for future judgments.

Let me help you:

previous rulings are treated as case laws. Case laws are relied upon by lawyers and judges to determine judgement on similar cases

Until a similar case arises against, maybe Kwara stare government and the school in Kwara, by your Muslim association or your lawyer where your lawyer can refer to the case law of Supreme Court that you refer, then the judge can agree with your lawyer and subsequently pass a judgement to allow the use of Hijab in schools in Kwara.

Sometimes, the empty heads think they are more intelligent than others but it is often a standard: empty barrels makes quite loud noises.

You can't force the culture of hijab on schools. You are free to take your children to Muslim schools or schools where it is allowed.

If it is not allowed in a school, move on. Don't impose yourself or religion on them.

The primary goal of school is academics, your religion is secondary in school.

your narrative is a totally false one,she was wearing a school branded Hijab,nobody stoped her access to the school because of Hijab it was a different issue totally..Kwara state is very islamic tolerant as its a mixed religious state with 60% muslims..you Mr poster are the one trying to incite a religious divide

It is the teacher who doesn’t want it that will move on.
This particular school is a FG school run with tax payers money. And if the country’s SC rules that kids can wear the hijab, who is the principal to decide against that?

Principal or teachers can't make such decisions solely. It must be the decision of the management of the school, most likely the Federal Government.

If you insist on the school and your child goes back to the school with hijab and the school still kicks her out.

Then go to Court since you want to dwell on it

Simple

Mr "level of education" grin

As long as the supreme Court ruling you refer didn't specify the entire country and specifically addressed the case between Lagos State government, the school and your Muslim association.

Other states can explore the lacuna in the judgement and claim that it doesn't affect them until a judgement is made by extension to cover all states and FCT of the federation.

The ban on wearing a hijab in the school was introduced only in order to preserve the internal order of the school in accordance with the principles of secularism. Outside the school bans on this issue do not apply.
