I can't refute it, you are right ISI is a Public school. But i want to ask and I don't mean anything insultingly, do u know the essence of a uniform? I think it is to ensure that everyone wears the same thing regardless of ethnic and/or religious persuasion. If you guys win your fight to allow Hijab, I believe it won't stop there and you know exactly what I am talking about. Personally, I don't consider hijab wearing to be offensive but the ripple effect of what others choose to do may well bring that school grinding to a halt. What if others choose to don their various religious regalia in the name of equality, decency and moral whatever, won't we all laugh it off as a school turning into a circus? Like I said, there are bigger issues that I'd have loved these parents to address but it seems you are hellbent on Hijab wearing as a means to furthering your cause. More power to you guys.

Pls quote where i said ISI is a govt school?



Well, someone who knows about it than me has said it is a government school. Can you refute this?

I have zero hatred for Islam, my family background is mixed. But I have zero tolerance for bigotry and I believe that everyone should accept laws that are laid down everywhere. Wearing Hijab is a non issue, it doesn't infringe on your right as a Muslim. If a school is forcing Muslim students to say a Christian prayer or trying to convert them against their own will that is different and should be addressed.
Bros if we all decide to clamour for what we want on the basis of our religion u think this country and SW Nigeria won't erupt in flames? It's easy for you to say blah blah blah but are you looking further down the road to see where this leads to? Are you even concerned how this will be perceived by people of other religious persuasions? I already know the answer so don't bother responding.
Christians are far from flawless but atleast some of us are'nt hypocritical and we are not hiding behind the garb of things like hijab to push our main agenda. You preach alot of tolerance but can you take half of what you give to others? Again no need to respond cos judging by your comments I already know where you stand.


Has any govenrment school been addressed on the bolded? Do you see the Muslims complaining about it? Infant most muslims learnt how to sing christian songs based on this and it's fine. Hijab has been worn in these schools before you and i came to this world but it's suddenly a problem.

Have you asked yourself, how Muslims have received going to work on Fridays when Sundays are free? Are you even concerned that Muslims are made to pray in Christian ways in Government schools? It's not an issue with you since it suits your narrative but when it doesn't then you begin screaming ontop of your lungs.

Speaking of tolerance, you should look in the mirror my friend. You can accept half of what the Muslims have accepted and still accept in a volatile nation like Nigeria. Lastly, for donkey years all these issues never came to birth because generally south-westerners have mixed religions and lived happily until the birth and rising nature of Pentecostal churches and i can swear with my balls, you attend one

CCC, C&S, Catholic, Anglican et al in South West would hard preach hate speech and they have been with us for god knows how long but all these changed when Pentecostalism arrived South West.

Does wearing of Hijab affect you, or the students? Has wearing of Hijab ever affected anybody? They have been wearing it since god knows when and it was never a problem. Do you know what a public school is? These schools pray in christian ways, sing christian songs among others but these are fine because you are a Christian but wearing of hijab is wrong. Yet, you claim to be tolerant.

N.B I'm not a Muslim. I respect all the 4000 gods on earth. I respect the old gods and new. I respect everybody regardless of which gods you serve or godless but hypocrisy,intolerance and bigotry are what i hate then expect me to come right at you if you posses any of these attributes.

Why are Muslims all over the world trouble maker? Why would they for once embrace peace? Is this school an Islamic or Conventional School? Why would Muslims all over the world would want to forcefully have their ways at all times, even when peace is at stake? What kind of a devilish occultic group is this religion called Islam. Could it be true that I.S.L.A.M(ISLAM) means IRRITIONAL SATANIC LEADERSHIP ADVOCACY MOVEMENT? Come to think of it, what relationship has putting on veil(HIJAB) got to do with education. Education means enlighthment. Why would you want to cover your self to be enlighthened.May God deliver us from the habd of the children of the bound woman.

Hmmmm....

I don't understand all the fuss, except there's a hidden agenda and desire to cause chaos.
Below in quotes is the definition and little explanation on the subject Uniform / dress code .....
"A school uniform is a uniform worn by students primarily for a school or otherwise educational institution. They are common in primary and secondary schools in various countries. Although often used interchangeably, there is an important distinction between dress codes and school uniforms: according to scholars such as Nathan Joseph, clothing can only be considered a uniform when it "(a) serves as a group emblem, (b) certifies an institution's legitimacy by revealing individual’s relative positions and (c) suppresses individuality."[1] An example of a uniform would be requiring white button-downs and ties for boys and pleated skirts for girls, with both wearing blazers. A uniform can even be as simple as requiring collared shirts, or restricting colour choices and limiting items students are allowed to wear. A dress code, on the other hand, is much less restrictive, and focuses "on promoting modesty and discouraging anti-social fashion statements", according to Marian Wilde.[2] Examples of a dress code would be not allowing ripped clothing, no logos or limiting the amount of skin that can be shown."

To read the full article visit....
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_uniform

......
based on the little research have done, in saner/ developed countries, the government would take legal actions on the protesters for intentional disturbance and disruption of peace.

Lastly I feel it's sheer ignorance that's causing this, except there's another agenda besides that.

I see some Christians are sitting down in their room and making bias comments on this issue, why we want to deny them their right, the constitution of the land gave them the right to wear HIJAB, and the constitution of the country is superior over all other law, why the school will make law against particular religion because the management of that school were dominated by Christian, I think they requested for HIJAB for their children not Christian children, why you people against their religion, act, Muslim didn't islamize but Nigeria had been Christianize before, Saturday and Sunday are set free while Friday is not, beret which is Christian cap is allow while you against HIJAB, these and many other are sign of Christianization of Nigeria, when you push them to the wall they will turn back to you, HIJAB IS PART OF MUSLIM RELIGION NOT JUST ORDNARY DREESS.

Re: Hijab: University Of Ibadan International School - Muslims Protest by kayjay69(m): 2:12pm On Nov 19, 2018
They shouldn't pray in Christian ways or sing Christian songs in my opinion and I am unaware that this is the case in Public Schools. But like i said earlier, why don't the parents address that specifically? Why aren't you addressing that specifically? That they pray in Christian ways in a clearly multi religious school is wrong but that doesn't make protests (And shutting down the school) over Hijab use right. Infact what you raised about them singing in christian ways is more of an issue than wearing hijab. In my view, a school should NOT a place for religious warfare or superiority, leave that to places of worship or home. The primary purpose of a school is to impart knowledge. Also it's a different thing if Muslim parents decide to lobby the school administrators to change the laid down rules to allow for use of Hijab. But protesting and shutting the school down because of Hijab wearing in this modern day and age, you have got to be kidding me. That is downright ridiculous and it clearly shows what we choose to prioritise. This is why I stand on my initial assertion that there is an agenda being pushed by the people spearheading this. It is not as serious as it is being made to seem and there are some other forces at work here, you may choose to disagree.

Keep quiet and quit writing like an illiterate that you are. The school was built by missionaries donkey years ago, are the missionaries still managing the school? Isn't it tax payer's money the government use in maintaining the school? Aren't Muslims also tax payers?

The school is now a government property and the Muslims have every right to demand for the mosque. While writing this lengthy bigoted comment, you didn't include the part that christian songs are sang on the assembly ground, students are enforced to learn those songs and other christian activities. But this is fine since it fits your narrative and Christianity isn't devlish and selfish

Isn't it supposed to be a Government school?
Isn't a Government school supposed to be fair to all religions in the land and yes(traditionalists too)?

Sincerely I am not aware that Muslim students are made to sing Christian songs in some of these public schools and I condemn it. No one student should be made to do that. But that doesn't justify what is happening in ISI. The two are wrong and need to be addressed. I am a Christian but I have several relatives who are Muslims and I hail from the SW part of Nigeria. You are very correct to say that SWesterners despite our various religious persuasion, by and large live in harmony. But I tell you with facts that we have our hidden differences, hidden discrimination on the basis on religion. Are you aware that in certain Muslim dominated cities such as Ilorin (though not all but some parts) I cannot purchase land because I am a Christian? I'll assume it is similar for heavily Christian populated areas too. Both are not right yet both are happening and we pretend that we are ONE as Yorubas. Goto some cities such as Iwo and Ede and identify publicly as Christian, see how you will be treated. My point is despite what we choose to say we are divided in the SW along religious lines, the cracks are there. Maybe not divided enough to kill one another and God forbid that will ever happen cos I love my people but divided enough to screw ourselves over. This ISI thing just shows how divided we are. And I'll maintain that Hijab wearing is a non-issue. We can talk about forcing students to sing Christian songs, that is wrong. We can talk about harressment based on religious affinity, that is also wrong. But this is a non-issue.
And yes I attend a Pentecostal church but I don't agree that they are the cause of the above stated. They may be aggressive in the way they push their agenda sometimes but please take note they have never forced any one to do anything. And I am astute enough to know that my loyalty lies with my people first then my religion but when we choose to push our individual agendas u can imagine what then happens. And believe me sir, I am a very moderate Christian. I believe in fairness but I also believe that we as a people ought to let go of minor things and focus on major ones. We should choose our battles wisely else we end up isolating our true friends.

Imagine if these parents were to use this protest to champion better welfare for teachers, improved learning conditions for all and what have you. That would be a real issue. You know why? This if attained in the slightest, may well set us (the Yoruba tribe, Nigerians and the black race) on the course for some type of greatness. But Hijab wearing, while I understand maybe important to some, is not a real issue and that's my view.

You made salient points and i quite applaud you. You wrote completely different from your fellow christian counterparts which gives me hope that one day Nigeria will be stripped of religion(oh yes, religion is a disaster).

I don't know your age but in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s Nigerians weren't divided alongside religious line. Heck even in 1992 election, Muslim Muslim ticket won the presidentail election before it was cancelled. God help you project a Muslim Muslim ticket now if bigoted people won't scream about Islamization agenda. Nigerians in schools care less about what song was sang or what not, they sang all the way. During Christmas and Easter, Muslims feasted with their Christians friends and Christians feasted with the Muslims friends during Sallah and Eid. All these happened when Pentecoatlism wasn't in existence or perhaps just very little presence.

All these have changed since every street has several number of Pentecostal churches each with his doctrine and most of their doctrines are selfish ones. They hate Catholic, Anglican, CCC, CAC, C&S, Islam and even their fellow Pentecostal churches. Have you thought about this at all? Have you asked yourself what changed when you were young living among your Muslim friends partying and always expecting holidays like tomorrow to come forth so you can party hard but suddenly you pastor tells you they are bad people and you believed him then you began preaching your own hate speeches. I knew you would be a member of a Pentecostal church.

Re: Hijab: University Of Ibadan International School - Muslims Protest by kayjay69(m): 3:16pm On Nov 19, 2018
Sir, you have a case about the Pentecostal faith but it could be a coincidence. I think all of the uproar we see and feel about religion is mainly because of our politics. Our politics and it's principal actors have resorted to any means to ensure they win. They won't lose sleep over inciting one group against the other. For example, the outgoing Gov of Osun State Ogbeni Rauf during his campaign for 2nd term was on record to have said that in a certain muslim dominated town, they should not vote for Omisore cos he would Christianise them even though we know Omisore is only a paper based Christian
Ofcourse it goes both ways, Christian candidates will say same about muslim opponents too. We abandon the real issue and go after sentiment. One can sort of link this ISI issue to Osun State when Ogbeni Aregbe came into power. When a Muslim Governor uses govt power to enforce certain rules seen to be all about Muslims, whether right or wrong, the perception (from the Christian viewpoint) is that he was trying to turn those schools into a Muslim leaning school. I disagreed with his approach and I also disagreed with some of the things CAN said. The problem with these kind of things is that they set a precedence for worse things to come. Govt shouldn't be seen as tacitly backing anyone religion over another, Govt should ensure there's fair play among all religions even in states where one religion has an overwhelming majority. Public schools and places of work should be as secular as possible. Prayers shouldn't be said at all (I could say Pray in Christian and Islamic faith but then again who knows if we will have a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Jew and a traditionalist among the students). Students can pray before coming to school, God answers all prayers we need not over petition him. What we should strive for is a society that projects fairness in all cos I really fear Nigeria as a whole has been built upon too much injustice.
I honestly couldn't agree more about organised religion, it is sad to admit that it has done more to separate than to unite us. But we must aim to rise above all these. Again sir, these are my views. Hijab use is harmless I agree but I fear the precedence this may set. I don't fear it as a Christian, I fear it more as a concerned citizen who simply wishes we would focus our energies in uplifting ourselves as a people. My viewpoint based on my upbringing has always been that, I am first Yoruba first before i am christian. I continue to hold onto this. Thank you for your insights, I appreciate your time and even though it took a while I now understand your viewpoint better than initially.

ollah2:



You made salient points and i quite applaud you. You wrote completely different from your fellow christian counterparts which gives me hope that one day Nigeria will be stripped of religion(oh yes, religion is a disaster).

I don't know your age but in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s Nigerians weren't divided alongside religious line. Heck even in 1992 election, Muslim Muslim ticket won the presidentail election before it was cancelled. God help you project a Muslim Muslim ticket now if bigoted people won't scream about Islamization agenda. Nigerians in schools care less about what song was sang or what not, they sang all the way. During Christmas and Easter, Muslims feasted with their Christians friends and Christians feasted with the Muslims friends during Sallah and Eid. All these happened when Pentecoatlism wasn't in existence or perhaps just very little presence.

All these have changed since every steet has several number of Pentecoatal churches each with his doctrine and most of their doctrines are selfish ones. They hate Catholic, Anglican, CCC, CAC, C&S, Islam and even their fellow Pentecoastal churches. Have you thought about this at all? Have you asked yourself what changed when you were young living among your Muslim friends partying and always expecting holidays like tomorrow to come forth so you can party hard but suddenly you pastor tells you they are bad peole and you believed him then you began preaching your own hate speeches.

Did you know Kwara is now classified as a North central/Middle beltan state?
