Yes you are right. But, now that there's a dress code, is it right for anyone to violate it?
No it is not right for the person to violate the law.She would have obeyed then seek redress in court.

see all these Islamaphobics talking nonsense, here is a case , a CAN of worm who refused to register a successful law graduate to practice in Nigeria because of their anti Islamism; the same successful girl is being admitted to practice in New York city the capital of the United States of America USA. which one is more preferred and I am very sure that anti Islam CAN of worm can never be admitted in the same way in the
U S or any other part of advanced world .
Very big shame on the anti Islams.
Are you sure you read the post?

Rubbish
U spend 6yrs studying Nigeria law only to decide to disobey the law at the end. If the Nigerian law profession is not good for their kind of Islam, why study it?
Islam permits beating of someone's wife, so assuming this girl becomes a judge and the issue of assault is brought to her by a hajiya, she will place the tenets of Quran above the law.

She is better off studying Islamic studies. Secular law is a haram, as long as the quran is not the Constitution, rather the Constitution was coined by unbelievers, then she has no business with it. She should have concentrated on becoming a sharia lawyer.

HYPOCRITES
if we have any hypocrites hear, your are. the constitution supersedes any law in Nigeria. so I ask don't the constitution allow freedom to practice your religion any where in Nigeria without hindrance? listen novice less you ask again how does this contradict, you in Islam unlike Christianity every thing about other than killing for Muslims is worship, we avoid nothing only for the sake of worship and we allow for ours nothing only for the sake of worship. so novice anybody that try to stop a Muslim from donning the hijab is tantamount to denial of my worship write. and any who do that is denying me of my fundamental and constitutional right to freedom of worship.

Both wig and hijab are foreign to nigerian culture and both legacies of conquest,slavery,colonization,indoctrination and mental slavery imposed on africans by the invaders-arabs and oyinbos.And here in the 21st century,supposedly ''educated'' and ''independent'',we still haven't figured out that to really be who we are,we have to be original in our thoughts and ways,instead fighting over being caricatures of the masters.

Can u do me a favour by viewing the pic of the lady in question again? Only someone with hate for her religion would say she has violated the dress code.She only covered her head and neck in the most meaningful way without tampering with the elements of the dressing;the wig,rope,gown etc.

I strongly believe there is a way the basic components of dressing for both major religions can be incorporated into professional careers.

Starting with Islam, the basics include:
1-Covering the head together with the neck
2-The arms
3-The legs
.....considering the above and using the law dress code as an example,it shouldn't be difficult accommodating these basics using the lady's appearance to justify no1,the use of sleeves for no2 and under-leggings (for whoever is comfortable with it) for no3.

As for the basics in the Christian dressing,considering the various denominations of Catholics(which I think is the only one that would require some clear modification to be accommodated),deeper life members, other Pentecostal and new generation church members,it includes(I stand to be corrected on this):
1-The scarf-attached cap
2-Their regalia
3-The cross
4-And others I may not know of.

....the above too can simply be accommodated by the law wig replacing the cap and the scarf used underneath it for no1, the law gown already has the similar design for no2, the cross could be used under the scarf for no3 and for whatever others I don't know about.

There is just too much islamophobia and gross intolerance to the Islamic religion on the part of our Christian counterpart.
THE RELIGION IS FOR PEACE,SO AM I!

Cc:mikedimeji
Its not about islamophobia Oga. You muslims just want to blow it out of proportion.

If you know anyone who is a lawyer, ask him/her how the dress code rule is very important to the profession. Be you a Christian, Muslim or IFA worshipper, the rule is the rule.

She was not the only female Muslim there. Don’t blow this out of proportion.

The hijab doesn't make her less of a lawyer.


because the law explicitly says nothing should cover your hair, except their wig, and she refused to obey, because she's better than everybody else.

I love that you're thinking. Maybe cos of her they'll start admitting hijab for the ceremony. Then next year a Catholic siter would refuse to remove her veil and all hell would break loose, they'll put a clause for Catholic sisters as well. And yet the next year a Cele man would refuse to wear shoes, and a traditional worshipper would paint himself from head to toe, a nudist would come for the ceremony naked, since we're all thinking.

Our sisters should learn a lesson from this, especially those of our sisters who are carrying feminism on their head like gala.

No feminist is on the side of Firdaus Amasa, they have all retreated until a woman they consider an actual human being has a problem.

Our twitter "influencers" who are Muslims should also take note how they are alone on this one. Some of them are even afraid to take it up as a campaign as you may lose your "circle of friends".

I made a post some years back and people came here to complain, but for once i did not explain myself because i didn't want to be insensitive. I posited that if the Chibok girls were not mainly Christians there will be no Bring Back our Girls campaign.

Some people started shouting that those who initiated it were Muslim women and i just didn't say anything out loud, in my mind i was like folks don't know shit. Of course when Christians are the victims Muslims will fall on top each other to join the campaign, but when fellow Muslims are involved, these same Muslims will hide somewhere.

Aisha Yusuf is retweeting about Firdaus. Retweeting oh, the great fearless Aisha Yusuf that can insult two Buhari and one Yar'adua inside 150 characters. She is now retweeting. Fear no let am create hashtag not to talk of NGO on top this matter.

Hadiza Bala Usman is inside a container at NPA, so no show. My friend Inibehe Effiong is no longer a human right activist, he no longer believes in fundamental human rights, he has decamp to supporting "rules" over the under dog because this underdog has a Muslim name. "Mama" Oby Ezekwesili is of course minding her business, how the matter concern her? She is giving her twitter Bible lessons as usual, fear no let any Muslim twitter influencer quote Qur'an except to insult a fellow Muslim and say Islam is peace, turning the other cheek and praising the Lord, Halleluya.

They have boxed you in a corner, not me. I don't know why a man will imprison himself via friendship. I am a Muslim and i do not have time to be nice about that; my not drinking, smoking, womanizing, stealing, or cheating should be enough niceness, i do not owe anyone jara.

If you are around people who will only want you to stand up for them but will not stand up for you then you do not know your worth.

Again, i repeat myself. I am a Muslim and my bias is ISLAM. The non-Muslim that will question me for this or that i will be afraid of that will make me not stand for my brothers and sisters in Islam has not been born, and will most likely never be born.

Hehehe.....hahaha....let us wait for his response. I was expecting to see the word "hijab" in black and white inside that verse. It only talks about how women should draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms).

The wig is more than enough to cover the hair. The white collar can also be pulled higher up to cover the neck. And the gown does a good job of covering the bosom. So what else is left??

That Firdaus girl was just making a mountain out of a molehill. She attended Unilorin and NLS Abuja campus. Why didn't she lead a protest there asking for the hijab to be incorporated into the lawyer's attire, way back then? Why did she wait until the day of the call to bar, before raising the issue? She likes needless controversy, jare.

Haa ishi pls careful with words. Nothing is actually wrong with hijab but is not recognised by the body that regulates the law profession in Nigeria. If she was allowed to do that (wear hijab), other tribes and religion will come with there own kinda head gear. What I think should be done is for the Muslim folk to advocate for a change in the law to allow hijab. Not all these scream of injustice that will amount to nothing.

If your religious beliefs forbid you from dressing in a particular way that members of a professional group dress, then it is first of all sinful for you to decide to belong to that profession in disregard to your religion and hope that they will change their standard of dressing to accommodate you. This is what we should be talking about, not about whether or not decision of Body of Benchers was right or wrong.

See your President's daughter last year when she was called to bar.

I have been to Turkey, a country that is 90% Muslim and and they hadly wear hijab. Are they going to hell by Naija Muslims standard.

Don't mind Nigerian people. You will never find a more shallow set of people like this elsewhere.

I've seen hundreds who claim to follow that religion who don't wear such ridiculous things. If your country is an Islamic nation then wear it, if not don't impose it on others by making them see you in it.

I'm sure they know how uncomfortable they make everybody on the tube once they get on. They know, but they think it's a winning point to make people uncomfortable with their bomb hiding gear.

Their aim is to change the Constitution of the world to suit them, then once it's changed they use it to oppress the populace. Look at Europe today.

That was why i said she should seek redress in the court of law and maybe a law could come up and the dresscode could be made optional or scrapped .Laws are made in other to bring order and laws are always subject to change.There was a law in place and she should have obeyed it and after that taken her case to court in order to avoid future occurrences.We all are not perfect and must have at one time or the other disobeyed the law for different reasons, but that does not mean that because it worked out for Rosa parks it would work for others, they could end up in jail.Sometimes to obey is better than sacrifice.

These men are Sikhs. I didn't realise they were allowed to wear their turbans in court. I just saw an article now about how Sikh turbans were just allowed in the workplace in England, in 2015 following a court ruling. Does such a ruling exist in Nigeria? Kindly note that these Sikh men did not just show up in court one day, demanding to be given the right to wear their turban as part of their lawyer's uniform.

But the Muslim Lady Firdaus you are defending attended University of Jos and Law School Abuja, and never made a fuss about wearing her hijab under her wig and gown until the day she was called to bar. Was she unaware of the strict dress code for lawyers, when she enrolled to study law?

Why didn't she kick up a fuss when she started studying law or make a case for the adoption of the hijab as part of the lawyer's dress code, when she entered law school? She obviously likes needless controversy.

Maybe hypocrisy runs in your family, but not in mine. Like another respondent called Daboss stated earlier: "Ignorance, nay stupidity is when you say something about someone you don't even know on a faceless forum with so much conviction."

Now run along and go display your 'hypocrisy' somewhere else where it will be appreciated. No need for name calling. Maybe you are used to being a hypocrite, which is why you find it so easy to tag others as one. Thank you.

Last word: the EU court has ruled against such types of religious dressing. Quebec in Canada has also refused to allow the use of head coverings such as turbans in the workplace. Anyway, the UK is no longer part of the EU, is it? It might have had to reverse its decision, if not for Brexit.

Politicians on the right have welcomed a ruling by the EU’s highest court that allows companies to ban staff from wearing visible religious symbols, as a long-awaited legal judgment ricocheted into the French and Dutch election campaigns.

In its first decision on the issue of women wearing Islamic headscarves at work, the European court of justice in Luxembourg ruled the garments could be banned, but only as part of a general policy barring all religious and political symbols.
