Seriously I respect the right of people to whatever religious practice they chose to profess. But if in a bid to practice religion, the peace and life of others is put at risk then it needs to be looked into. Its no biggie banning hijab. People need to be alive first to wear the hijab.

preetyb:
Which do u prefer hijab or your life?

stephenduru:
President Muhammadu Buhari said in the ongoing presidential media chat that if bombings continue in the country, Hijab might be banned.Most of the bombings in the country are carried out by bombers clad in Hijab.

 Answering questions on incessant terrorist attacks happening in the country, President Buhari said:



“When I say BokoHaram had been defeated technically, we have weakened capacity for conventional attacks. Banning Hijab is not an option, but if these attacks continues, Hijab has to be banned.”

The president’s verdict on hijab being banned has triggered twitter reactions from Nigerians.See tweets below....

Those who tried to paint PMB as an Islamic extremist before the election must feel really stupid after the Hijab ban statement #PMBMediaChat

The President was straight forward about the Hijab response, also works better seeing as he’s a muslim.#PresidentialMediaChat

I thought he was gonna dodge the hijab question. It’s a crazy angle. #PresidentialMediaChat

I’m a liberal. I’ll defend Hijab as a legal choice, even while I take a social& Islamic view that it is a totally unnecessary piece of cloth

Even a decade and a half later debates about terrorism still end up flowing into discussions about hijab & other basically unrelated things.

I was really impressed by his performance yesterday especially on issues relating to insecurity and corruption.

As a Muslim, I will support the ban on full hijab to improve security. At least, ban it for six months in the first instance and let's see where it takes us.

Kudos Mr. President.

wisov:
I just have to quote u! Am so impressed! Very few people make sense on dis forum

Idrismusty97:
I support the banning or at least reforming of the Hijab. It would really go a long way. Buhari said "If this continues the Hijab would be banned", But it is already continuing for a long time and is becoming unbearable. The Hijab has to go for now.

Souljaboi1:
Which school of thought defined Hijab as that ? When your Lord revealed the Qur'an and ordered the Muslim women with the Hijab; tell me if what you typed up there was what was being referred to.

kolnel:
Cool
But how possible is this especially in the northern hemisphere ?
Maybe in public places

Bevista:
Considering the dimension of attacks deployed by BH in concealing bombs under hijab, it is surprising that it has not been banned already.

France banned the damn thing and heavens did not fall. It didn't make the Muslims there any less religious. I even hear it is banned in Chad.

This should be a no-brainer decision for political and religious leaders of the north. They should be pragmatic. Desperate circumstances require desperate measures!

MrReloaded:
Hijab is our life

Anticabal:
Of course you will support it now like a zombie because it's Buhari but if it was GEJ who tried to save your miserable lives by mentioning the banning of hijabs, you almajiris will be screaming 'discrimination!' like hungry simian monkeys, claiming your animal rights are being trampled upon.

Rilwayne001:
Very valid point.

MrReloaded:
Hijab is our life

olaitan9291:
May Allah punish you for what you wrote,
you support the ban of hijab, subhanallah.
What Allah made compulsory, why cant you support the ban of the
military and paramilitary uniform that the book Haram used to abducted the chibok girls.
the harm robbers using to Robb and murder people. Look appearance is nothing but the ideology.
The government need to educate, enlighten, the citizens of the country, create more employment, beef up nation security and procure the needed equipments. Be rational.

FG must not only ban the use of hijab , i think all what the BH is using shud be ban e.g soldier uniform, mobile phone, cars, gun, even money(cos dey used money to buy the devices) e.t.c. WHY ONLY HIJAB
#useyourbrain

authority2006:
Banning of hijab in Nigeria! Just a dream in a country with majority Muslim population. Buhari knew what he said, he just told anti-hijab campaigners what they would like to hear. Simple. Millions of Buhari can't try it.

siraj1402:
"If Hijab ban must be considered, then the government has to also ban use of vehicles, hand bags, cell phones, motocycle and suits because more evils have been perpetuated through them. It's totally illogical to attach Boko Haram attacks to a dress code or pattern. Our Hijab is a garment of honour; it is an apparel of modesty and an outfit commanded to be worn by Allah."

Remember Boko haram uses cellphone to detonates bombs,cars to carry the explosive and so on.
Have your fact before you quote me

tintingz:
I'm a Muslim the Quran said believing women should cover their head and chest, the Quran did not mention burqa, niqaab...it was only mention in hadiths which can be related to the Arab culture.

tintingz:
It is a fact that most recent suicide bombers in the north are girls and boys wearing long hijab.

tintingz:
Shoulder-length hijab that covers the chest is not bad for a Muslim lady to wear.

ochoa:
bro all what u listed above re damn easy if u want to perform a routine security check on em

but 4 these full 'hijabian' sisters itz even an haram to even touch the clothing(material) talkness of tellin them to open up the flowing gown, to me dat ll definitely be a form of harassement.....to me let them make do with the half hijab n conceal the necessary part with gloves n socks...itz jux in a bid to make our security operatives job a bit easier....peace.

Souljaboi1:
If BH changes tactics and start employing the use of men wearing robes/Agbada, should that also be banned.

If that is banned and they employ the use of back-packs, do we also ban that ?

You cited France's ban on the hijab, did that save them from the Paris attack ?

As a man on ground, I see thing for what they are.

This group have sleeper cells in various cities; break their line of communication, clamps down on their sponsors and their trade route to the Sahara desert, then let the Intelligence guys infiltrate their ranks.

If we keep hammering on Hijab ban cause it aids their attacks, then it would also follow that any item or machinery that aids them too should also be banned.
