...will the muslims be okay with the children of herbalists, dem kuku full yorubaland, wearing their cowrie decorated regalia and bring their amulets and beads to school as part of their religion? Why can't muslims be tolerant? Why are they always so easily irritated and always in a hurry to express their religion outwardly? If the adherents of every other religion choose to also express their religion outwardly there will be chaos in public schools. Your religion is your business, and your business is your private matter...so if your children must be in a public secondary school then keep your religious expression to yourself or else send your wards to a private muslim school where your private religious business can remain private! You hardly hear adherents of even satanism making these noise most of the time but muslims are always making noise...all religious noise makers including so called Christians and Muslims should be please shut up and let this country move forward...

lol. Then they will accuse them of intolerance.

Please if am wrong , I stand to be corrected , was hijab part of the uniform in the constitution, if yes then the should be allowed to wear it, but if hijjab was not among the school uniform, it has to be abolished, without any complain or better still the other religion can come to school with rob with the traditional list come with their own dressing.
Why coping sultan of sokoto, why dont they take their childs to islamia or Islamic school or better still to sokoto.
Why much every thing come up with religion.

computergeek:
I'm not trying to bring them down or denigrate them, but I just feel Muslims like to act as if they're being mistreated. I understand that they take their religion as a culture, but then again they should stop forcing their nuggets on other people, because some of us take our religions very seriously too but we know when to cut back.

A government school is not a religious school. It won't kill anyone if the girls drop their hijabs for a few hours of school. Schools don't allow Catholic kids to wear Chaplets and medals and finger Rosaries. Schools don't allow girls from other Christian denominations to cover their hair or wear Church vests to school, so why should Muslim girls be permitted to wear hijabs to government schools? Everyone should try to be more tolerant, more flexible and less over-zealous.

Well said but that last sentence reads better as Muslims should try to ........They never recognize boundaries with their BS.

Sterope:
In Nigeria, tights worn under mini is not conservative at all.

Rules or not, ISI is a federally funded school not a private school or a missionary school.

Rules or not, ISI mangement allow mini gowns. They did not start today. They have wearing mini since I started high school and more than 10 years later, they are still wearing them.

So also are aquinas and saint louis funded by govt and I dare any of you lunatics imposing your arabic regalia in that school. Illiterate who can seem to differentiate arabic culture from religion.
Whether schools are funded by govt or not, they all have laid down rules and their foundations even as all muslim schools were built by the govt yet no one is forcing christian or secular principles in the govt built muslim schools seeing that Islam founders were so useless in Nigeria and built nothing useful except to propagate war and chaos.

God bless you dear! You killed it right there

The main thing paining me is that these Muslims copied the sultan of sokoto but they didn't copy any of our obas. weeping...

stixz:

Until it becomes a part of their day to day activity, an important part of their lives I don't see why they should advocate for it. Hijab has been part of Muslims for a long time, over 1000 years, you see people on the street wearing it, how often do you see people wear ogun ahbi sango attire in public. Don't let us be beclouded by religious sentiments, there's no reason why hijab shouldn't be allowed, muslims believe it's an important part of themselves and they manifest it in their everyday life and it really doesn't affect anyone. But people with religious spite just always have a reason to have a problem with it

Until u realize that you lots can't be the victim and the judge at the same time then the better for u,until it becomes a part of their lives like the have anything to prove to u as the judge of religions,feeling like one deputy Jesus, stick to your Quran and stop peeping into other religions to find out about their day to day activities because unfortunately they have absolutely nothing to prove to u,they are actually people that also wear sango attire everyday,because u haven't seen it in the neck of your woods doesn't mean it doesn't happen,I know of Osun worshiper that also wear their attire everyday, funny thing is its you guys that will first shout Hausubiliahi when u see such,its okay to advocate for your rights,however don't at the same time go about asking questions when everyone gets their rights.

OladimejiRufai:


If Islam lasts till the end of days and not 'abolished'.... kill urself!!!

I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh, but think of your child having his/her best friend to be a christian, can you imagine the level of hatred this can create between them. I think in this part of the world with the high level of literacy and valued culture the two religion groups should live in love.

resurgent4oodua:


I went through your profile and discovered you are a female muslim terrorist! No wonder you have taken this issue so personal. Let me know your location in the SW so I can deal with your terrorist scum self personally.

I urge all christians to take a look at this girl's profile and see for yourselves the kinda terrorists we are dealing with!


Shame on you terrorissssssssst! Shame on you. And we are ready for your excesses in this country. From now on, it's fire for fire!


Bloody terrorist sucm! I even thought I was talking to a normal person. Nigeria will only be a muslim country after we have separated. You better don't delude yourself that christians will sit by and let you islamise us.

Bloody terrorist!

Lmao.
I can't stop Laughing.Female terrorist ?
Okay,I am a terrorist right ? And,You that you ain't a terrorist have been spitting insult and hate all around.
I guess we both know who the terrorist is.
You are just a big headed idiot running your mouth.
The only thing you can do is keep shouting like a crazy idiot on NL.
Let's see if your big idiotic mouth will be able to handle this female terrorist outside NL.
I will show you what a female terrorist can do.
You are just an Illiterate and a big fool!!!!

You want to know my location ? Are you always this dumb and stupid
You actually said you are ready for us in this country ? Lol.
Y'all can't do anything, You won't ever be able to do anything. All you can do is to keep ranting on NL.
In this country,Na we and you people.

computergeek:
That's too extreme na. Some Christian pastors do unspeakable and unimaginable things but do you see anyone pushing for Christianity to be abolished?

I'm sorry for being too harsh, I can't just see the reason why learned people will be creating unnecessary tension and hatred among the young ones.

resurgent4oodua:


OK, you will force all schools to allow hijab?


Let us know your plans now.


And Nigeria can always be divided. If it is muslim violence that you bank on, we would surprise you. Nobody has a monopoly of violence and christians are now waking up to the necessity of violence to resist muslim aggression.

You can enrol your kids in muslim or public schools while christians enrol theirs in strictly christian schools. No wahala.

If it is violence you want, we are ready. Nigeria is overdue for civil war sef. The days of Christians turning the other cheek for muslims in the interest of peace is gradually winding to an end.

We are terrorist and you ain't but you want war.
So,Who is the terrorist now ?
If you and your children are in this country,I repeat,You can't do anything about the hijab.
If you can't live with that,Throw yourself into a pit of fire.
Islam is here ,We Muslims will continue to be hear and you won't be able to shit about it.
But,You can continue ranting on NL tho.
That's were low life like you can be recognized.

resurgent4oodua:
Please, everybody should check MissyQween's profile and see for yourself the kind of terrorists we are dealing with on NL.


Avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing radical islamic extremism firsthand!

I beg you not to miss this opportunity. Just spare a minute to see MissyQween's profile!

Hahahah,
Why not make a thread about it ?
I can't stop laughing.
Is this how people can be so dumb ,Stupid and jobless ?
You want to know the truth ? You are a big fool !!! Don't ever forget that. It will help you a lot.
I can't stop laughing at your stupidity.
I am now a Female Terrorist according to an idiot.

diadem10:

Look at this pee sucking peadophile like his master.
Go and learn what the word uniform is and get back to me.
No one asked your Islam slave master not to build school for their folks.
And yeah, the muslims in the Sw are found of giving stupid arabic names than their christian countepart. A christian Yoruba would rather give name such as oluwatobi, oluwbukunmi and so-on which are Yoruba than some eediots with nurudeen, Asisat and all nonsense.

See this animalistic bigoted Yoruba Christian, right from the onset Yoruba Christians have always named themselves with Christian and western names. The likes of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Johnson and many other early Yoruba Christians. Muslims on the other hand didn't even bear Muslim names until recently, you're very stupid. I've been noticing you but I've been keeping my calm, just continue with your rubbish.

**slaps his disfigured akpu molded head**

Stanweezy:
So this people know the rules better than the school, don't combine school rule with Islamic rule. If the school said no wearing of hijab obey it, if u are not satisfied with that you can change your ward to another school that allows that. For Christ sake this is called school UNIFORM meaning everybody must wear this same thing.

Nairaland is 80% motherfvcker flat.heads.

I find it impressive that you think Government especially those down South give a crap about religion to take over missionary schools . You really do give them some credit. Is it not the same government that once took over Mayflower secondary school in Ikenna even though Mayflower was not a missionary school? Also, missionary schools had access to tax payers money by way of government grants. What do you have to say about that?


I didn't say I was in support of Sharia or sharia states accepting VAT from breweries. That is an entirely different topic. If you are looking for my opinion, you can ask for it.

VolvoS60:


^^^
Ok then. We can agree to disagree.

As I said earlier, I am no expert on female dresswear. I have nothing more to contribute in that area.

It is instructive though, that you mention ISI's (debatable) status as a 'federally funded institution'. You also state very clearly that it is not a private school and neither is it a missionary school. Very interesting. No doubt you are aware that many years ago, the Nigerian federal government effectively seized several private/missionary schools from their owners and only recently returned the carcasses to the previous owners. There is strong speculation that the motives for that takeover by government were nothing short of sinister. Your comments lend credence to that view.

Again, back to the main issue.

My predictions for those on the receiving end? I can predict that those parents who wish for the hijab to become part of ISI's dresswear ARE going to win, the same way Asmau Firdaaus won her contest with the Nigerian Law School authorities. The fiery rhetoric on here is not going to stop that inevitable conclusion. And yet this takes place in the same country where so-called state religious police can routinely confiscate and destroy a businessman's legitimately acquired inventory of (federally taxed) alcoholic drinks without any legal repercussions so far. In the same country where not one Sharia state government has publicly volunteered to return any federal money from VAT collected on alcoholic drinks. But then, these things happen because the victims and those on the receiving end of this impunity allow them to happen.

Time will tell.

phineas:
Weak principal weak school. Suspend the students till further notice. Let the court sort it out with the students out of school.

It's not about the hijab it's about how the parents tried to enforce it in the school

The normal thing would have been prior meetings and approvals before such an act happens and if the school says no change their school or go to court. But no teach the kids to protest against peace and laid down rules

This bad precedent must stop

From what I read on another forum, there has been meetings and the PTA led by a Muslim had rejected the idea. Some fundamentalist still want to push the idea. May God help us with this kind of mentality.

Tfkspecial:
What a hypocritical environment we found ourselves, when a female student wears a micro mini gown to school she is seen has exercising her right but the moment she puts on a hijab and dress modestly, she is termed a fanatic. ISI belongs to everyone and the right of female Muslim students should protected as enshrined in our constitution

Truth be told. How many of these students wear hijab outside the school or before this sudden desire of their parents to showcase Islam? God dey.

Owodiran1:
i am a Muslim bro
And i have never been wanting for any misconduct or trouble making. What we should focus on is educating this people instead of generalizing. Letting them know islamic rules is different from school rules. Please don't generalize. Christianity and islam religion have a lot of beautiful souls and at the same time they both have shares of ugly souls. All religions have different shares of different people don't generalize my brother. God bless you and I always

haaa

Muslims and corruption are major forces that are breaking 9jeria.

The suit and ties everyone wears is from where again? If you don't wear it properly to defend projects you loose scores, to get job's....why is the tie eprn so tightly in this very hot sun we live in...do Muslims have a problem with wearing suits? Do they mandate it that they must come in their jalabs?

The biggest injustice reeks on this platform...we believe tolerance is asking someone to drop their values even if its for a few hours...nobody would die...than of is for you to overlook their mode of dressing and accept them for who they are...lol who really is intolerant?

princfred:
There is a reason its called uniform. Key word.... "UNIFORM"

Sorry Mr linguistic...are they the only one using uniform

neyobills:


Why should u be questioning other faiths about if they want to wear their regalia,they can also decide to wear it just as the same way some Muslims also don't wear hijab,its called choice stick to your Islam and don't be asking stupid questions and been the judge about the rights of other faiths since no one is judging u.

There's us different between choice and commandment...
And It takes someone of such to know a stupid question...

tamethem:


You guys are a bunch of hypocrites. You call not allowing hyjab in a public school Bigotry?

Why do Muslim ladies in Banks and other establishments comply with the dress codes. Where they are allowed to wear such only on Fridays including native dresses. Why do they comply.

They should have contested it proclaiming their freedom to wear hyjab naw and see if they won't receive sack letter after some few warnings.

Islam means Trouble.

Anywhere it is there must be trouble.

No wonder one of my Clients who happens to be a muslim Multi billionaire who owns three Universities has almost all his heads of Departments and Directors as Christians.

Even Muslims know themselves and are careful to employ themselves.


Wisdom!!!!

Your information about allowing hijab only on Friday is false...
You talk without much information, I'll just leave you in peace

Neoguru6:
There isn't any bigotry here. I went to a school where 99.9% of the population is christian but if you bring and wear any church relics such as bangles, chaplets, etc, it would be ceased, it didn't sound too cool to us but that was school policy.

Bro using hijab is a universal by Muslim women, for those wearing relics, there will surely be disparity in them due to the different ideologies...

jojotemitopaz:

When the blacks were always forced to sit at the back of buses...were there no laws to back them up? Who created those laws? Wearing hijabs are not your values so you can't understand what it means to wear one. They know why they do that. Its oppressive to force someone to drop his or her values for any reason...leg shuib refused to denounce Christianity in the face of death...it was just for her to say a few words...but she didnt ...that's how ppl uphold values....to u wearing hijab is something that can be compromised to Muslims it is not...u are not a Muslim so u can't speak for them...rather you should be compassionate enough to help uphold their values ...this is how to create peace and not the other way round.

help uphold which values? Why would I help ur religion to uphold it's values that are crude to my own values? And who told you Christianity doesn't have dressing values too. U guys are fooling yourself. Call Islam a religion of hijab maybe I'll help you then.

missyQween:

religion of hijab how market?

IamaNigerianGuy:


Thank you for your contribution. It is level headed but there are some issues with this.

1. The hijab is cultural not religious. There are many Muslims who do not wear the hijab, life has not stopped for them.

2. School uniforms in the south are NOT Christian attire. They are western attire. So dispensation cannot be made for any group.

3. Following (2) above, if we concede to any group, anarchy will follow. Eckankar will want their own dressing, Baptists something different, Orunmila another thing. Even nudists, feminists, men's right activists will want something to suit their ideology.

4. This dressing has existed for more than a century. There is no compelling need for change.

5. There are many Islamic schools in Ibadan where the children can go. They must not stay in this school. Have they never heard of Mission schools ?

6. Nigeria is a SECULAR state. That means no religion is to be given prominence. None. Some people need to be reminded of that.

7. If we concede on dressing, what is next ? Prayer ? Halal meals ? Curriculum ? Segregation by sex ?

8. Islamists are trouble makers worldwide. You may disagree, but the evidence is compelling.

Hijab being a cultural attire is false. It is used universally and commanded by the faith. People who choose not to follow haven't changed the fact of what it represents. There are deviants everywhere.

What is western attire, go to Western and tell me there are none that allow use of hijab. Subjection to slavery that we still breed.

Like I said use of hijab is not something that is worn only to school, it is an intricate part of their dressing. They wear it on different occasions not just school. Do all those mention does same? Do they wear their attires to work, exam, interviews and the likes. Maybe a few

If you call Nigeria a secular state which no one is arguing that with you. It recognises the freedom of religion

And for concluding Islamists are a trouble makers, I'll also conclude your resolution is a result of wrong indoctrination that has been continuously made accepted by you. When lies be one persistent, it becomes truth to us.

Like there are no terrorist from other faiths.

BalogunIdowu:


Sorry Mr linguistic...are they the only one using uniform

Sorry Mr non linguistic, that's a flawed expired low IQ induced poor logic as they don't need and shouldn't have to be before insisting on the standard they want. More so, just because everyone else is drinking from the gutter is not a good excuse why one should too.

Boundaries. I can as well replace Hajib with pants or boxers in the entire gibberish you wrote. . And how will that make sense? Islamist must understand tolerance for common values where they are not the only ones around. .....Boundaries!. School uniform is to make pupils look uniform not religious. Keep your islamic BS to yourself when in civic engagement were general rules are set for everyone. BOUNDARIES.

You are so lost in Islamic religion that you don't know that wearing mini skirt has no religious affiliation unlike Hijab. If that's their uniform and Hijab isnt that's it. Respect and tolerate that or bugger off.

Just obey the laws of the school. If they say no hijab, so be it. You can't impose your way of life on an institution please

Islam or Culture. Learn to read between the lines. Sod off!
