#Istandwithshariifah

My name is Shariifah Yunus,I was assaulted,violated and my faith as a muslim woman made into a mockery,because I choose to be decent and covered!

November 20th 2017 I went to Alausa secretariat at Adeyemi Bero Hall for an exhibition.

I wanted to talk to a lady concerning a proposed exhibition some women entrepreneurs are organising. She is said to be the one who was given the contract to partition the exhibition center at the event.
As i called her and she turned towards me,without provocation and excuse of any sort, she yanked, pulled and lifted my niqob(face cover) in public ,exposing me and saying in derision , "who are you"?

I was shocked , extremely embarrassed, upset and felt violated!
I asked, "why would you do that" ? She replied," I don't have time for this,I am here to work,if you have anything to say to me go and say it to my boys"!
I went after her and told her she could apologise and she shouted ,"sorry,is that what you want to hear",she hissed and walked away!

Imagine someone lifting up your skirts while pulling down your pants in public? That feeling of being victimized and oppressed was how I felt, her non remorseful actions and speech made it abhorrent !

People came out to comfort me as i was weeping,I was so upset and kept wondering why would someone have so much hatred...
I knew she was highly connected as she talked with the arrogance of someone who is. My sisters went to her and she kept shouting at them she has no time,besides she isn't a Muslim so how would she know if it was wrong!

I am posting this for several reasons. In the last few weeks i have been assaulted more than thrice while someone threatened to beat me up,my crime has always been, having the guts to dress as a muslim woman in Lagos/Nigeria!
I have been called a terrorist,insulted and abused. All these by mainly none muslims. I am shocked at how Nigerians have become so filled with hatred and intolerance. People will assault/insult us and say ,"e de ni elesin ni yin"! People will tell us leave them, yet they cant take it. In fact when i went to report her,someone actually gave her the excuse that she did what she did cos she was scared of me,while another person said Nigeria is dangerous now so she did that for protection!

Some elders apologised on her behalf,but lo and behold i saw her again and she denied what she did and then threatened me arrogantly with "her siblings being on the bench"!

As people irrespective of your religion,being human means you should protect others,not abuse nor assault them. When people are mean and abuse other's fundamental human right,get up,stand up and protect the abused! Here in Nigeria,people misbehave because they know that the law cant touch them as they have "connections". We can however change the narrative. When people do things wrongly,call then out and make them recant and apologise. Its abuse of rights to beg the offended and let the abuser go scot free. I am a muslim woman,this country belongs to my daughters and yours!

My submission,
*My Lord is not on a bench, but on His throne! If I lied against YOU, then may His wrath be upon me. If YOU lied that YOU didn't open my face veil, then may His wrath,anger and punishment be upon YOU till YOU publicly repent and apologize as YOU violated me in public!*

Exposed! Woman who forcefully dropped Muslim Lady's Veil At Lagos State Secretariat http://www.timenewsng.com/2017/11/exposed-woman-who-forcefully-dropped.html

I seriously doubt the veracity of this message, the dubious site carrying the news not helping matters. I don't live in Lagos, but I've been there enough to know that this incident is highly unlikely and improbable.

I do hope that this post wasn't made with hopes of fanning emotions as to religion...

hehehehehe like seriously.

who is lord .

seems you have accepted the lord and savior JESUS Christ

I stand with u my sister, may God see us tru... we leave in a society where girls are paid to dress naked and other girls are fined and harassed because they decided to cover up there body by emulating mary the mother of Jesus ie following God's command.

i doubt Nigerians are that crazy, but even if they were, it would be an isolated case.
there are many muslim women wearing niqab/hijab all over Lagos, and nobody does wrong to them, if it happened to you THREE TIMES, then i have to say that there must be something about YOU that makes people get in such a foul way with you.

so either get yourself together or stay away from strangers.

The victim Sister should go and report the woman to the police and sue her to court. The fact that she is a daughter of Chief Judge does not give her the right to abuse others.

It's the attitude of those privileged power-drunk people to subjugate their fellow human beings! She should be reported and arrested. From there, the issue will be given needed attention.
