Let us not cause more problems in this fragile country called Nigeria. Maiduguri is windy n dusty. Let us treat one another with love n respect. Let Burhari continue to cause problems n panic since he ascended Aso rock. But to God be the glory, his a Moslem fanatic yet condemned hijab. If Jonathan could say a word against hijab or Islam Iran would have issued one or two empty threat. I need peace.

Just as the car is useful to users of motor vehicle, so is the hijab useful to its wearers. Saying 80% of suicide bombers are on hijab doesn't prove that the ban of hijab will end terrorism/suicide bombing. It also does not prove that hijab aid suicide bombing.

As for cars, the Abuja Police Headquarter suicide bombing(2012) was done with a car. The UN bombing also with a car. The recent Iyanya bombing in Abuja was also with a car. The bombs are transported through cars and other vehicles. Boko Haram move around with cars. So should usage of cars be banned?

Kindly reference the book or site you read it from.


And you claim to hold a masters degree?


What a shame. At this age and time a masters degree holder still believe the trash that Hijab --that is well known all over the world as a core muslim mode of dressing-- is the culture of some people in some region.


You people still do not get it.

Islam is more than a religion.

Islam is a culture, a tradition, a way of living life. Not just a religion you pick up anytime you like.

Islam tells you what to do, when to do it, how to do it reason why you should do it. In short, Islam is an Ideology that teaches how God wants us to live not how we want to live.


If you can't stand for something you will fall for anything

I don't fancy this yeye idea!! it's lame. even if they tell us to where skinny or skimpy wears or even tell us to start walking naked, what makes them think these 'diehard killers ' won't device a new means of terrorizing?

my point is this, we should acquire an advanced tech that should scan people. There are facilities or equipment which could do all these.

This banning of religious wears no just make sense.
what happens when people start implanting mini -bombs beneath their skin?
even if government did not ban it,what is even the use,importance,effect and purpose of this Hijab. See those ladies in hijab looked like DEVILS.its even so scary at sight.moreover,their are several means of covering your body. The use of HIJAB is obsolete.it looks local,uneducative and a very primitive way of covering your body.there are far other better means. That Hijab is even banned in NYSC camp what about that.

Why don't muslims wear the shorter hijab? The smart one that just covers the head and doesn't leave the wearer looking like BatMan. It seems only the elite Muslims in Nigeria and the ones I see in Abu Dhabi know how to dress like that. Even the Muslim females of the British police wear smart tucked-in hijabs.

The problem started in France when women started wearing those full body cloaks that prevent anybody from seeing anything but their eyes. In this era of radical islamic terrorism, you can't blame people for feeling unsafe around them.


Well said and the truth here. They should try to reason together to save themselves from those who hide under Islam to commit crime. A true Muslim will not kill.Demonic Muslims are the ones killing.There are still demonic Christians who kill.

The hijab should be the short ones used in covering the head and their face.

Happy New Year,

Firstly let me address the banning of Hijab and purported reasons

We are facing significant security challenges and we live in a CCTV era. CCTV allows us to identify perpetrators of crime and their accomplices not only from direct footage of actual crimes but historical footage can tell us who their associates are. The corollary is privacy in general. Many nations ban or seek to ban any means of communication that government cannot control (The equivalent of an electronic veil would be the argument of the constitutional right to PRIVACY Countered of course by security and public safety) Government wants to be able to read emails and listen to phone calls etc

Banning the hijab will NOT stop the crime necessarily but it will help in solving it afterwards especially as increasing areas of public space are covered. We will know where they came from which cars they alighted from and who they talked to etc.

People need to think deeply before making specious arguments and then feeling smug that they have make a Socratic revelation.
There is no parallel with banning a car . Why does government ban guns or control access.Why not let everyone have one and say only bad people commit crimes with them and bad people will find a way to get them whether banned or not. Government has tactical powers to ban cars anyway and it is a matter of judgment what to ban and when whether it be okada,hijab,wearing of camouflage etc.

However the ban should be on ANYTHING that conceals the face of an individual in a public space. If a crime is committed by any person ,the public should be able to identify them afterwards. It may well be that someone recognizes them in public before they commit their deeds

To those talking about the Quran. Please cite the Sura from the Quran where this is written . There is NO SUCH THING. Does the WORD Hijab appear in the Quran AT ALL? No NOT ONCE

Rather there is an interpretation of words which people can and have interpreted differently across different places. Many Muslims have never read the Quran directly or just repeat what they are told.

Anyway the veil which was removed by the soldiers is NOT Hijab

The Hijab is an Arabic costume and not a Muslim one

Iran Tunisia and Turkey are Muslim countries that banned the Hijab in public (Turkey lifted ban recently) and the skies did not fall .


There is no mention of Hijab anywhere in the Quran

My little understanding from reading is that it is a borrowed culture from other parts of the the world particularly the desert areas where "sand and dust storms" are prevalent as a way of protecting the face and body. I beleive that there are appropriate ways a Muslim lady can dress that can cover the body properly. We should not encourage extremism in the guise of religion.

Well, it is against the right of wearers of hijab to ban their veil. It is an established fact that the hijab is worn through the personal choice of the wearer even if it is religiously influenced. As such, it falls under the right to personal liberty. Hijab can't be banned except the government can prove that their is a correlation between Hijab and suicide bombing...this will be pretty difficult.

Hijab Ban: Soldiers Publicly Remove Veil From Muslim Woman In Lagos


Some unidentified soldiers on Friday forcefully removed the veil, popularly referred to as Niqab, from a Muslim woman at Meran Area of Lagos.‎

It was gathered the woman was going peacefully when two soldiers stopped and began to allegedly harass her.

According to an eyewitness, identified as Adetutu, it took the intervention of passersby and sympathisers for the Muslim woman to get her veil back.

Apart from the removal veil on Friday, two images had earlier been sighted separately at Ibadan.

One of the images seen and allegedly signed by ‘Federal Government’ at University College Hospital, Ibadan read,”Wearing of long hijab is prohibited in government establishment for security reasons”.

It will be recalled that this is happening few weeks to the comment that Federal Government may ban Hijab by President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari while ‎commenting on the continued blasts in the North-East during his maiden media chat last Wednesday said, “We will have to consider banning of the Hijab if this (the suicide attacks) continues.”

But on Friday (January 1), the President through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a press release denied insinuations that his administration had plans to ban Hijab.

While describing Hijab as the Muslim women’s dressing symbol of modesty, Buhari’s spokesperson added, “Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.”‎‎

The eyewitness, who described the the removal of the Hijab as an embarrassing sight and injustice, urged the Federal Government to make an official pronouncement stating that the hijab has not been banned to avert further chaos.

While narrating how the Hijab was removed, Adetutu said, “I arrived at the Meiran Bus Station to board a bus when I saw three armed military men stop a Muslim woman who was putting on ta black attire and a face veil. One of them confronted her asking why she used the face veil.

“The woman was surprised and helpless. Almost immediately he (one of the soldiers) turned up her face veil to reveal her face.

“The woman who felt ashamed only looked and could do nothing because the soldiers were heavily armed.

“After one of the soldiers revealed her face, another soldier forcefully removed the veil from her saying ‘This thing is not allowed in our country. You can use it in your house but not here’.

“He (the soldier) took the veil and was about leaving with it. All the woman could do was to plead with him to at least release the veil to her.

“After harassing her in such a way that called attention of passersby, he (the soldier) returned the veil to her and she quietly left almost shedding tears.”

Reacting to the pasting of a message to prohibit Hijab at UCH Ibadan, Amir of Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, UCH branch, Adam Hamzah said, “This is yet another reflection of open hatred of Islam. However, i want to urge our sisters to entertain no fear in showcasing the beauty of Islam through their Hijab. After all, they realised the essence of their existence unlike those who walk about in nudity.

“It is therefore imperative not to allow this issue derail us from the golden path. I am glad to inform you that MSSN at the branch,state,zonal and national levels is currently working assiduously to put a stop to this oppression.

“Several notable Muslim personalities have been duly informed about the issue.This is with a view to ensuring that our SON sisters enjoy not only using Hijab in the hostel but also on the wards. I therefore charge us to join hands in making this a reality.”

On her part, the Amirah of MSSN Lagos, Hajia Hafsoh Badru lamented many people have started harrasing female Muslims on Hijab.

She added, “It is regrettable that such statement was made at a period when Muslim sisters are facing tough times in practising their religion. We are sure that the Presidency is not unaware of the continuous denial of Muslim students to use Hijab as guaranteed by the Nigeria constitution and United Nations Charter on Human Rights.

“We hope that the earlier statement by the President won’t serve as a means for some bad eggs in governance to punish and harass females in Hijab or label them wrongly. We sincerely appeal to the president to mandate the Ministry of Information and other necessary agencies to release a circular that will guarantee female Muslims right to wear Hijab on the street, in schools and during their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).”
