They ain't the platform to gauge the Muslims. Most of these rich children are mostly secular in nature. And they are abound in both religion. So stop saying hijab is for the poor, it is very very wrong. A lot of rich and well educated children and also wear hijab all over the world and u can't denied that.
That phrase that hijab is for the poor is stale and thrash.
THEN YOUR STATEMENT IMPLIES THAT THE HIJAB IS NOT A COMPULSORY WEAR! sometimes i wonder if the religion of Islam causes bipolar disorder.

Religion is perfect but the practitioners are not perfect. A lot of people have committed atrocities under the umbrella of religion. So u don't have much points. They said they want to wear hijab which is their fundamental rights. Why denied them? They ain't forcing anybody. We should be tolerant with each other. Be open minded.

Nobody is going to tolerate nonsense from anybody.

If you will not follow societal rules & regulations but your religious rules, better you move your kids to religious schools.

You see a good school enjoying peace and development. Your wish is to go use your archaic religious mentality to cause problems there.

You better be careful and don't let other religious adherents get mad at you.

The hijab is the fundamental right of those who chose to wear it. If not , how come whenever the hijab issue lands in court Muslims alws win?

And how is UI school private? Who is the private owner of the school?

I went to The International School UI. It is a PRIVATE SCHOOL. It was founded by a man called Mr Curt Hahn. In 1963, he approached the University of Ibadan and they gave him land to build the school after he got funding from the Ford Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development. The board still runs the school till this day. The University of Ibadan or government have no say over the affairs of the school.

it seems you don't know UI, they will never agree to the demand of the Muslim parent.

Go and learn more about what happened when Muslims asked the school authority to remove a cross facing a mosque.

And moreover, ISI is a private school, in fact I think it was created by a white man

British imposed their Christian's way of dressing in all public and schools by using face cap for the boys while girls uses beret cap which Christians of Nigeria turn to secular dressing, and Muslims agitated for using of hijab for their daughters, Nigerian Christians complaining seriously.

British denied Muslims to be at home on Friday to enjoy holiday for Jumat prayer while Christians enjoy that by going to church together with their family and Muslims' family pray separately on Friday due to no holiday for Jumat, Muslim parents don't complain.

British impose the cross of Christianity religion as the logo of hospital still Muslims didn't complain.

Some of the Christians hate seeing Muslim girls with hijab but they'll won't complain by seeing catholic sisters with their own style of veils.

ISI teachers are under pay roll of FG and you're claiming that is private school, this is absolute lie, private school my foot.

As South West is concern, all British tactics to impose Christianity in the lives of Muslims which our mothers and fathers survived and resists then as they were forced to add Christians' name before admission to schools and after independent with our constitution which enshrined in it on the right of freedom of religion and freedom of dressing, without violent Muslims ummah will continue to erase all British Christian influence on us through legal battles in competent court of law.

It is a good response from UI. These are secondary school kids and we are already creating this kind of atmosphere for them. I am wondering, why is there a Muslim Parents' Forum? Shouldn't it be one Parents/Teachers Association? Ehn?

it seems what most people do say about majority of this Muslims is actually true.

You know the rules of the school before you took your child there, but you want the school to bend their rules because of your religion, it's either you agree to the school rules, or you take your child to another school were they can put on hijabs

Do Christian kids go to schools in kano,sokoto,zamfara etc without putting on hijabs?

I have friends who are Muslims even family but I dont join issues with them when it comes to matters of religion.

If u read the book of Genesis very well, you will understand them. There's a reason they are aggressive.

hmm!

Hello, everyone please don't let us not drag this country into religious war. Please the constitution clearly says that every one I.e Christian , Muslim and traditional worshippers have the right to practice their religion peacefully without stopping others from practicing theirs.

Remember the CONSTITUTION DOESN'T allow u to stop others from practicing theirs. Now, we should know that institutions, organizations in the country are forms of body that is governed by laws ( code of conduct, or appearance , relating with others ). These laws of these organizations or institutions are made to guide and to be believed in . In this case the various institutions or organizations in the country operate just as other forms of religious bodies. They have laws, rules and regulations in which they believe in seriously which is a major characteristics of a religion.

Take for example, a brother from christian religion ( a form of organization or institution guided by rules and regulations ) can't go into a mosque ( another form of organization or institution guided by rules and regulations ) and begin to act against their code of operation and he ( Christian ) still maintains that he has the right of freedom to worship. What he ( Christian ) has done is that he practiced his religion preventing ( breaking rules and regulations that guide others ) others from practicing theirs.

The CONSTITUTION DOESN'T say you should practice your RELIGION and STOP others ( organizations, institutions from practicing their ethics of operations which is a form of their own religion too )
from practicing their own rules and regulations that govern them as organization.


Now, this is exactly what Islam ( not to give a general judgement ) or better still Muslims in Nigeria are doing. They want to practice their religion ( form of organization or institution governed by rules and regulations with a belief in its rules for a reward ) and prevent others (institutions, organizations ) from practicing their own


THE CONSTITUTION
DOES NOT SAY PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION ( WHICH IS A FORM OF ORGANIZATION OR INSTITUTION ) AND PREVENT OTHERS ( OTHER INSTITUTIONS OR ORGANIZATIONS FROM PRACTICING THEIR ETHICAL BELIEVES and I want to strongly believe that ISLAM as an organization is not a trouble maker the type that look for other organizations trouble.

So therefore, Muslims do not have the right to force their hijab thing on public schools ( organization or institutions that has already guided ethical rules and regulations ) to accept

The law allows organizational codes so far as such code or rule does not conflict with the nation's constitution which happens to be Supreme to all other laws or rules governing bodies and organizations.
You guys should first go change the nation's constitution because if this case gets to court the Muslim's will triumph again and again

Of all our socioecononic ills, Christians chose to be obsessed with Muslim women dress code thereby inflaming an already tensed atmosphere, and they dare say Muslims are the intolerant one's.


Most of you are religious fanatics. Read this "the uniform policy was introduced to address socioeconomic inequalities, discourage segregation and minimise distractions to academic activities" If your child must wear hijab, then take it to school that has no uniform regulation. The uniform is a symbol of EQUALITY, UNISON & PEACE. it connotes that every student is equal before the school, so why wanting to cause chaos with hijab? From their first day in the school, were the students wearing hijabs? I'm pretty since they school authorities wouldn't have allowed that.

Must we bring religious into everything? Must you force people into accepting what suits you? I thought you all claim that Muslim is a religion of PEACE, do your attitudes depict PEACE.

Where there are Muslim religion fanatics, rarely you find PEACE there. Even a few Christendom too...
