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

Kind regards
Akinola Samuel Eluyefa
Seems you are a good lawyer. Can i contact you for a legal case (Industrial) against a company? Pm please

Does this apply to me a Muslim getting a bank loan and being exempted from paying the interest cause it infringes on my freedom of thought , conscience and religion too ?

Yes technically it might apply to you as a Muslim getting a bank loan and not wanting to pay interest on it. However the court might decide your case lacks merit as it might be very difficult to prove bank loans with interest have or will in the real sense Infringe your right to freedom to practice your religion. The point is that you must be able to prove on the balance of probabilities your right has been infringed

No religious sentiment required. I defend women's rights/choice to dress half naked, and I will also defend their right/choice to dress modestly. I do not object when colleagues wear risque clothing and yards of human hair, and I expect the same courtesy to be extended to those that choose to be modest or to conceal their hair.

If this can lead to an overhaul of the dress code, so be it. Female lawyers are also not allowed to wear trousers.
There is a dress code, she knows about this code, did not fight it, she willingly registered to become a lawyer under this set of codes and she signed up without issues and then decide to start a fight in the end.

If you knew you won't be able to keep the laws, why did you apply?

Muslims as a principle do not work in alcohol companies but she wants to prove a point

I perfectly agree with you.
SurePresident:
Most Chriatians are selfish fools that'll rather betray and sell the future of their Children and unborn Generation to moslems in the name of maintaining a non-existent peace. Judgement of the CREATOR of all and Thunder shall destroy every selfcentred Christian that has cowardly refused to fight to secure the future of their unborn Generation. GOD Bless Donald Trump, he knows you can't use peace to tackle moslems, if Israel had not been giving them back their wickedness and distructions, they would have wiped out the Hebrews from Earth by now. No matter how holy u claimed to be, the Book of Revelation 21:8 makes it very clear that "the cowardly fearful Christians would have their place in Hell Fire" They shall be roasted to ashes.

Pls Op how's this cited case related to the use of hijab? Pls get ur facts right and not mislead the public. The NBA is not a voluntary association but one that is compulsory for all lawyers called to Bar. It is the duty of the Counsel of Legal Education to certify an intending lawyer that he/she is fit and proper to be called to the Nigerian Bar. Passing the exams is not an automatic ticket that u would be called. Attitude and adherence to basic rule during ur stay in the law school is also key.

Without sounding bais, this lady is very wrong in her stance. She may have a good course but the way she's going about it is very wrong.

Suffice to say that those people are just being silly. How can you compare the dressing of a particular religion with the dressing of denominations of another religion, after all as a singer said *" ororo no be crude oil, puss cat yato si Tiger "* Hijab is not an occasional dress won by Muslims whenever they feel like or when going to the mosque alone, it's something they wear everywhere and are known for in the World all over. Cele people only wear the Suntan when going to church or for church program, they don't wear it to work. If they wore the Suntana in Europe, some one would definitely as them what religion them if it's a religiius outfir? For crying out loud, there's a Cele member amongst the employees in my office and she doesn't wear Suntana to work. It is also only when they are wearing the Suntana that they don't wear shoes. To make matters worse, Cele members are not complaining of any violation.
I am here telling you that my right has been violated and you are telling me that someone who is not complaining, that her rights are being violated as well, so therefore , my rights deserve no attention! What kind of silly analogy lacking logic or jurisprudence is this?
Even the Ifa worshippers don't wear Ifa clothes any how, they only wear it during festivals. It is only the Ifa priests and priestesses that wear Ifa clothes every wear they go.
It's just people showing pure Islamophobia. Some people are disgusted by the sight of the Hijab and would rather call the Hijab an indecent dressing and bum shots decent dressing.

You've settled the matter.

Nigerians are too sentimental.

You must abide by the rules that govern an institution.

Being a lawyer is a privilege and not a right.
It is offensive that people want to raise religious sentiment where non exists.

Fight against a silly archaic dress code. Very cool

Fight to allow a silly archaic dress code pass a religious attire, stop clowning please.

Cele members are completely banned from wearing anything black. Not just sundays, anyday and night.

So do we say the law uniform is a violation of the rights of cele members?

The position of the law as decided in the case is very clear and ordinarily, this should settle the entire argument but the religion dimension to it won't allow most people to be rational. Religion is what is driving the controversy and not logical reasoning. I just hope the law school won't allow itself to be blackmailed into submission.

Your analogy does not follow, did the legal dress code forbid her wearing hijab. The hijab was nearly won.

This is the NLS rules as regards dressing to call to bar. It has been for years and she knows it.

It is not compulsory to be a lawyer if you find your religious beliefs cannot be fitted with it. Muslims stay away from tobacco companies for a reason

Pls I need clarity on the bolded, do they also wear the hijab in the bathroom when taking their bath??, do they wear it in bed when mating with their spouse?? Why isn't other Muslim females wearing the hijab as a religious compulsion even when putting on a decent head gear that covers the hair??
