Why must a Muslim girl remove her hijab before she can practise law in Nigeria? Is there anything offensive about it?

Simple answer, because hijab is not part of the dressing code.

what exactly does secularity means? it simply show your ignorance hear. but let me educate you boy, by secularity, it means given all a fair chance no matter their ideology. ask the westerns who own the word cuz I'm pretty sure it not an African word.

now let me school you to sir , by secularity it means no religion is given a special treatment , if the rules of the NBA says no hijab , then no hijab , stop trying to bring in sentiments

maasoap:

No, the Nigeria constitution supercedes the NBA's rules. Simple.

it's just like saying u work in a bank and you are a nun , because of religion you want to dress like a nun to work , which is against the etics of the profession . That's not right , there is no sentiments in that one it doesn't work

JamesReacher:

I'm sorry but I want answer your question with questions. what happens to others who pray and some don't? again wat happens to some who fornicate and others don't? yet again what happens to others who drink alcohol and others don't? brother you are not a Christian so stop talking like them. the difference between us and them is our knowledge. ya akhi please go arm youself with tools for knowledge let's be one who is lighten but yet his path is covered in horizons of darkness.

biacan:
The president daughter was been called to bar and she removed her Hijab.....tell me is fidaus more religious than her.....or did the president daughter disrespect her religion....?

My point exactly!

you people are really mad,and the hate for islam will destroy you people.
When d issue of the guy expelled came out,was it related to any religious stuff?

If the law in the country does not respect and recognize the ethics of the quran,then why use it in the law for people to swear with

the quran states a code of conduct,a form of dressing that will give you honor.if not for the madness you people have,a person puts on a small hijab,put on a gown to cover the shoulders and also a cap to cover the upper part,which will even make it less visible.
If you people are truthful and sane,please show me a part in the bible that states how you christians should dress

It is her way

The dirty hijab is allowed in the call to bar ceremony. The dumb girl is not the only Muslim in that ceremony. She is just exhibiting her terrorist attitude. Next thing I for her to tie a bomb around her waist and give it with the stinky hijab to kill innocent people.

You dont want to answer my question? Okay i would seek an answer somewhere. How arrogant! The difference between you and them is knowledge! Have you forgotten knowledge is free for those who want it.

Must it be related to religion before you people speak up? That was what the writer was trying to point out.
You people are just bunch of hypocrites.
The NBA is not governed by your quranic ethics.

Mynd44:


America, Britain, SA all have their own code of conducts. I can bet that you people that are shouting "look at America, look at Europe" will never accept the legalization of LGBTQ rights in Nigeria like they have yet you want to open a line of cparison based on your myopic point.

And allowing hijab is not making a mountain out of a mole hill, it is giving rights to one person over another. We should be saying "remove the dresscode completely" not "allow hijab" but of course we want to pursue personal interest

LGTBQ is alien to our constitution. When that changes we can talk about that matter. But covering her hair in this case does not contravene the constitution of Nigeria which is superio to any dress code

Rogosa:


If the main writer of this article is silly as presumed, then you are 'sillier'!
As a muslim, can u pray wearing your shoe? or can you enter the place of prayer wearing your shoe?
My point is, we have code of conduct, rules and regulations. That is what you fail to understand. It is not part of the ethic to wear hijab for the ceremony. Does it make Buhari's daughter an infidel? Does it make her mate (from her school) an unbeliever?

I will take your bet! But I pray she win too.

For the record, Oranges and apples are fruit ooo

Going to mosques,they followed a set of rules and regulations , not wearing shoes, facing east like that or something, but a law school rules and regulations the girl can't follow , hypocrite ni gbogbo won

alexmaye:
Well said. It's time to move on from this silly matter of wearing hijab, instead of thinking of moving the nation forward we are fighting over the constitution on hijab.

They now beating chest like it is a worthy cause, is it petty and stup*d

Shafiiimran99:
It is her way

The dress code(as it is) is the way of the lawyers. The dresscode(in its entirety) must go

The Fact is if that aspect is allowed in the law school I mean using an hijab inside the bar that gives another meaning, the law support all religion beliefs but there mustn't be any physical attachment to it imaging as a celestial member who is a surgeon wearing there spiritual wears inside the theater hall...... that brings a mix up if that is allowed, the court would have been messed up because many other religions would also like to put on what their. religion directs them to do.

eyinjuege:


I agree with you.
Remove the dress code.
Let the nuns, the hijabites, the jews and others be free to express themselves. Provided they're dressed neatly and smartly.

lolz

Being a lawyer is not a constitutional right, it is a priviledge that comes with strict rules.

If you want to allow hijab, fine, but change the rules (and change the rules totally) first

frankmoney:
now let me school you to sir , by secularity it means no religion is given a special treatment , if the rules of the NBA says no hijab , then no hijab , stop trying to bring in sentiments

now boy tell me to whom below the style of dressing of the Nigerian lawyers, if you know not then listen, its British and the British official religion as at that time was Christianity, so they the tool of Christianity in our land which you accepted until now and you dere say we shouldn't make it secular by bringing a balance. what a thing heard of not?

There are some people u dont answer in a situation like this, He is part of them.

"A secular state is a concept of secularism, whereby a state or country purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion"

now go back to those words and read carefully this time. my statement sounds similar to yours. giving a fair chance is neutrality Mr most educated, well I see you really as a confused fellow.

The fact remains the NBA is against it so crying won't solve anything

It's a shame we won't give room for Q and A. Thought he was knowledgeable on the subject

then why the hell would you have to swear by it when appearing in court if they themselves do not believe in it.no wonder politicians do not even fear swearing by the quran or bible cus the people that make them do it dont even believe in it
who are the real hypocrites

Looooool. She must have prolly sneered and jeered and laughed at the expelled guy for not recognising constituted authority.
My good friend raised a point sef, biko, what is a muslim girl doing in the law court, daring to open her mouth if her brothers or father are/is not there? All these 'akasodi' muslim dons that are just useless sef

**** That's what logical people do not write articles with no facts but just personal and ignorance laced opinions. Is this what writing has been reduced to sef? SMH.

First. You would do well to read slowly. Since you can't seem to understand basic analogies as exposed by your poorly written response.. Let me help you with examples of things that contravene a human's basic rights as regards religion.

1. Jews don't take non kosher things so forcing them to eat pork would amount to an infringement of their rights to practice their religion. In countries where law works and to an extent citizens rights are upheld. It is simple and a no brainer.. Let me give you a real life example of this.

"Bruce Rich, an Orthodox Jewish prisoner in Florida, wanted kosher meals, but the warden said no.

So Rich sued the state prison system in 2010, saying its denial of a kosher menu violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, a landmark civil law rights law for inmates whose predecessor was the federal religious freedom law.

After losing before a magistrate, Rich won an appeal before the 11th Circuit Court, which cited "the defendant's meager efforts to explain why Florida's prisons are so different from the penal institutions that now provide kosher meals such that the plans adopted by those other institutions would not work in Florida."


2. Muslim women don't ever open their hair in public places. Forcing them to in a public function goes against their religious beliefs and is an infringement of their rights to practice their religion.

"The Supreme Court also recently affirmed the rights of job applicants who require a religious accommodation, ruling in favor of an applicant who wore a headscarf that would go against Abercrombie & Fitch’s “Look Policy." You can read the brief here.
https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/eeoc-v-abercrombie-fitch-amicus-brief

That's another example. Should I go on?

I don't need to go back and forth with anyone. This would be my last response as regards this issue. If you can't see the clear differences. Then I can't help you.

The law school is a public entity and not a private sorority club. They would do well to follow the principles and guidelines of the Constitution.
