when are we going to Bleep-ing grow up in this country.

Human rights of what exactly ? when there are laid down rules ?This lady isn't fighting for any religious freedom or any human rights bull-shit because she wasn't the only Muslim at the venue. What she wants is favoritism and even the President's daughter didn't enjoy that privilege .


It's very simple , if your religion is against any profession don't practice it .

Madam eez like there something wrong with your brain

The appellant being a legal practitioner, should note that, the purported alleged infringement of his right as a member of the Nigerian Bar Association by virtue of his fundamental rights as a citizen of Nigeria, can only be resolved by a majority decision of its members. In other words, wrongs done to a voluntary association, or disputes arising from a debate, should he resolved by the majority decision of the voluntary club or association of which his view was in the minority.

end of. unfortunately for some jokers who like to claim that the first female muslim lawyer in this country was called to bar in 1999, or that muslims are underrepresented in the NBA, neither is the case. politics/democracy is a game of numbers. there are enough influential muslims practicing law in this country to push this thing through. no need for any ambiguity.

It will be discussed and agreed upon. There is no big deal in a woman wearing a scarf to work. Women in other fields are doing it. Law in the end is about logic, not sentiment. Wearing a hijab will not any way impact on a lawyers professional appearance/demeanour.

Kudos to Ms Firdaus

This simply means that the courts cannot intervene in the matter concerning the dress code for the bar graduation. It can be resolved within the organisation by internal mechanisms to decide what to do and follow.

But the call to bar procedures is handled by a government organisation ie the Council for Legal Education not an association like the Nigerian Bar Association which the court ruling is referring to.

The courts may intervene in this case...


The implication is our dear activist is not a fit and proper person to be called and the authority cited by op.means the court can't even help her. See where impulsive action has landed her.

Mynd44, rights are not absolute. This issue is like over flogging a horse that is already dead.

The rights she enjoys in Chapter 4 of the constitution is not absolute - that you have a right to freedom of expression or religion doesn't mean you can slander someone. In Mbanefo v.Molowko, it was said that once you freely decide to become a member of an association, the rules governing that association will/can curtail some of your rights. So what is all this garbage and noise about?

She knew the school had rules. She signed onto them. The only way was for her to have become a member, then challenged what is from a better position. I'm waiting to see where this will lead.

Yes, the judiciary needs reform. The Law School needs reforms. But that reform will not be started with the religious question.

This matter is actually very simple and straightforward than it is being made to be.
Firstly Miss Firdaus get yourself a good lawyer, instruct him to bring an application for enforcement of your fundamental rights via the FREP rules 2009.

One of the prayers you would be seeking as a relief is that the actions of staff of the council of legal education on the day of your call to bar infringed on your right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion

Please remind your lawyer to be reasonable and only ask that you may be called at the next call to bar which is April 2018.

Also please tell him to institute your case in the Federal High court and should only make a case against the council of legal education and not the body of benchers (the body is the highest supreme body in the land ) they might feel offended

You deserve to be beaten and send to Libya for torture for this advise. How many Muslims bankers do u see doing such or how many lawyers in d courts do such...... Go and check ur health status

What if those. Rules infringe on laws set in the constitution it becomes null and void

Mind you law evokes a new precedence can be set so the states case isn't hard and fast rule

Nigeria is a secular nation therefore it is absolute nonsense to accept her claim. Is either she abide by the ethics of her profession or she look for a mallam job( full house wife).
