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’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.

Which one should be banned?
1. Burqua
2. Chador
3.Niquab
4.Hijab

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.

wiseguy:
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.

SporaD8:
Your analogy is flawed and baseless.
A man wearing agbada will not shout haram if he is ask to be frisked for security reason, neither will a boy carrying a backpack refuse complying with instructions to drop all personal baggage outside some volatile area.
Nobody is saying hijab banning is the magic wand to stop boko haram bombing but then its a right step in the right direction - Okada banning in some states doesn't totally stop accidents but the rate of accident in those states has drastically reduced.
You talk about sleeper cell, James bond and jack Bauer stuffs!
Don't you think it more expedient to start with "dealing with substance first before graduating to chasing shadow cells later?

PassingShot:
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.

Souljaboi1:
Firstly, I would like to tell you that lying against Allaah is a major sin that takes one out of Islaam. I understand we all hold different opinions, but lying on Allaah or the Qur'an while trying to butress your point is tantamount to disbelieve.

Having said that, where in the Qur'an was it stated that the Hijab is restricted to head and chest ?

Allaah says in Surah Al-Ahzab, Verse 59:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰ أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلَا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

The key word being Jalbaab.

I believe you saw the picture of the little girl that had explosives strapped to her abdomen and it was concealed with the blouse she wore.

Educate me, how do you propose we tackle that ? Ban the wearing blouse as well ?

If you are cool with the women in your life wearing such, others aren't. No one person has the right to legislate a matter that has already been decided by the Lord from above the Seven Heavens.

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.

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.

pedion:
Countries wen ban am no wait For bombing to stop. Them see am the cover for the activity. Bubu no fit do anything jor.

Souljaboi1:
So when women wearing Hijab use the Airport, aren't they searched ? You're the one whose thought process is flawed.

The Hijab and Agbada/backpack can be classified as the same here; given that they both conceal things.

Anyone who refuses to subject themselves to be searched is the one calling for trouble. However, the search should be that females search female and males for males, just as is obtainable at the Airports.

Going all hard and chanting Ban isnt going to stem the tide of bombings, infact it is a psychological win for BH. It also shows that we've not been able to develop our methodology to issues particular to us (African).

Saying we should first 'deal with substance before chasing shadows' shows you're oblivious to the working of such organizations.

Taking out the heads of smaller cells would disorganize their affairs, even if they have a structure or hierachy in place, and this would slow down their operations. That is why when using a fire extinguisher, you are asked to point the nozzle to the base of the fire; anything outside that is a waste of resources and puts you at risk.

You must be a fool to be quoting rubbish, who told u dat nigeria is majority Muslim country, u stay in your compound and imagine things, why don't you Google to find information, the last time I checked naija is equally divided among xtians and Muslims.

The person that is saying he/she will oppose hijab banning will be the next victim of hijab disguised massacre.
