The President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, A.B. Mahmoud, SAN, has promised that the Association would look into the circumstances in which Amasa Firdaus, a graduate of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) was prevented from being called to the Bar on Tuesday.

Firdaus was said to have been denied entry into the hall where the ceremony held by officials of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for failing to remove her ‘hijab’ covering as directed.

The prospective call to bar candidate reportedly insisted on wearing her hijab in adherence to her religious beliefs and refused entreaties to do otherwise. She was subsequently locked out and could not participate in the ceremony.

Firdaus’ plight has garnered nationwide attention and has been the subject of a debate about the constitutional right to freedom of worship and the obligation to respect laid out rules. A call for Firdaus to be admitted to the Bar has also been trending with the hashtag #JusticeForFirdaus.

Joining the discussion Friday afternoon, NBA President Mahmoud referred to Olufunke Abimbola, a Nigerian lawyer based in the United Kingdom (UK) who was recently honoured by Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to promoting diversity in the legal profession.

Writing on his Twitter handle, @abmtwitt, Mr Mahmoud said Firdaus’ plight would be addressed while also adding that the NBA would embrace diversity.

“UK based Nigerian lawyer recognized for promoting diversity in the legal profession. The NBA will embrace diversity and tolerance in the Nigerian legal profession. The Hijab issue will be addressed,” Mahmoud said.

The NBA President went further to share a picture of his daughter being admitted to the New York Bar while wearing a hijab and declared that the argument over hijab in Nigeria was needless.

dnt forget to allow egun, sango, igunnu, obatala and ifa worshiper to wear their costume to any institutions if u allow dis to stand.

So,this hijab of a thing led to heated argument with some of my friends on Whatsapp yesterday.

To be fair and unbias,inclusion of hijab to one's dressing does not depress productivity nor deteriorate intellectual output.The basic reason for such law in some institution is just to ensure uniformity.

Like the dude above me argued,what about other religious factions who are mandated on some specific dressing.Well,the answer for them is to proceed to a competent law court to establish it.

Is Hijab not even permitted in secondary schools?

Is hijab not permitted in tertiary institutions?

There are rules and regulations in every sane society and establishments,pls this shouldn’t be religionised, the way this religious sentiments is going, I foresee Ahmed Musa requesting to play for super Eagles in Russia with Jalamia and Turbine.

Your argument holds no water because those you mentioned are not mandated to wear their costumes always. Their religion didn't make it compulsory.


For me sha, I'm sitting on the fence on this issue, I can't tell if it's right or wrong.

Muslims deprive many Christians of Thier right in the core northern states that practice Sharia.
Imagine I can't drink alcohol peacefully and you control the way Christian girls dress in a secular nation.

Make I just Siddon dey look

it shouldn't be allowed.... period

Otua

Unnecessary hullabaloo

Jihad has many forms. This is one of them. Christians vote in a Muslim party(with a known jihadist as flag bearer), Muslim party fills all key positions with leaders sympathetic to their cause and agenda. Those leaders gradually change the law of the land to be receptive to islamic indoctrination finally sharia is introduced. While all these are going on Christians are fighting each other about tithe, ear ring, weavon, make up etc. One day their children wake up to the moon and star added to their flag, currency with Arabic symbols and name changed to Islamic Republic of Nigeria.
"For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light." Luke 16:8 NIV

Gods people truly perish for lack of knowledge

Is she the first muslimah to be called to bar?
Was she the only muslimah there at the ceremony?

If I could, I will thank those people who prevented fidaus from entering the ceremony for insisting on putting on the hijab.
What People like fidaus do in closed doors shocks even the devil.
Let her keep deceiving herself. It's just unfortunate that in this country, we are easily swayed by religious sentiments

As much as I find the trend ridiculous, it should be addressed ASAP before it actually cost us human lives. We all know how fanatics can easily take advantage of these situations.

She'll definitely get justice and would be compensated.

When u place religion over reasoning then u re going no where... Check most of d countries in world dat re extremely religious they contribute very few in d development of d world eg Nigeria, Afghanistan etc

They better address this matter, because as a full fledge Onye Nmuo, I intend to adorn myself with eagle feathers, vulture skulls and snake bones during my own call to Bar. Any bagger that tries to stop me will witness Amadioha in his most raw form. All na diversity.

You should have allowed her to remain in naija and let's use her as case study. All of Una children na abroad Dem dey even the children of the principal of community secondary school....

Why not, if they come forward in good numbers

Nigeria is far behind in the name of religions.

Muslims will end up putting this country in flames. Yesterday it was sharia law, today it's Hijab rights? Let them continue.

When I say Islam rules in Nigeria into to some kids aged 25-70 years keep arguing blindly.....what a shame that this "trap" set by the advisers of this devil-girl won just as the Fulanis, the Boko boys & Northern oligarchy have held sway & will never stop

People like you have been taking charms and juju to schools and offices since time immemorial.

Sharia was given to them,tell me why they will not allow them to wear their suicide vest.

E pain whenever fanatical Christians cannot oppress Muslims they fall back on their pagan allies to justify their follies.

i understand u bro. Buh remember catholic nuns are also practicing law, buh they dnt disobey law. What is called law is law, just dat many people dat carry religious 4 head like gala doing it in a wrong way. What wil it take her to obey law. So her disobidient wil add to her cv in presence of my God. She is d one dat committed great offence in d presence of my God becos she allows people saying negatives things.
