I have seen bankers wear hijab at work in Lagos.

Sure, it depends on the company dress code. If its allowed, fine and if not, she should abide by the term of contract.

One don't bring a sensitive matter as religion into a contract binding agreement. There are also big organisations in Lagos that don't really allow hijab but allow the use of turban and those feminine islamic scarf just to cover their hair and at the same time, it makes them look decent and formal.

The goal of the hijab to my understanding ( I might be wrong tho) is to cover her hair, why then is she making a fuse about it. I think understanding is profitable.

Try to talk to me with intellect please.

I responded earlier to the guy who said she lied about been a convert to Islam. The guy opined she has always been a Muslim and she was lying about he new conversion to Islam.

So I asked the guy if Folake Adebola is a Muslim name. What I’m trying to drive at was that she was a Christian before and it was true she converted to Islam.

Do you get the argument now? Don’t just jump on mentions for typing sake.

If there is a specified company dress code which she is aware of and yet she went ahead to wear what she liked,then she is wrong and can be told to leave!
A similar issue is also destroying the dress code of NYSC simply because some folks want to be overzealous in their beliefs!

The purpose of the hijab is to cover the hair. That hair covering can be achieved by using a wig. That's what conservative Muslims did in Turkey when hijabs were still banned in public institutions. They simply shaved off their hair and wore a wig.

The restaurant though overreacted.

A lot of people just jump into conclusions without knowing the facts.It is not as if she dresses in a seductive way. There are many Muslims in America and it is the us constitution not to discriminate against anyone religion. She has the right to wear hijab because the US law allows it that is why it is a big deal.

And the same US constitution give the company right to choose dressing code. No one is stopping your terrorist sister from wearing hijab but not in the work that have dressing code. Hope you are okay now?

That name is a Christian name. The Muslims don’t bear that kind of name in its entirety like double abiso without at least an Arabic name to complement them. She would have at least got some Islamic name included if she had been a Muslim.

I’m Yoruba so I know what I’m saying.

She has already been apologized to and asked to return to work. "Tolerant" Nigerian Christians are still ranting and cussing. Does shooting another religion make you a better adherent of your religion? Is this what Jesus preached? undecided

Am a Muslim and my truck driver is a Christian. Just few weeks of giving him the truck...he decided to put " Cross logo on the front glass of the truck" it's been there for a year+ now and I never told him to remove it since the truck is mine and am a Muslim.

So far, he is doing his work well and serve the purpose of his employment that's all.

What if I now collect the truck from him on that basis and give it to a fellow Muslim driver?... We need peaceful co-existence biko.
I just want to commend you on your approach and tolerance in the situation you described.

Nice resolution.

She complied, went home then complained against the discrimination.


The company then apologized.


It's funny how (globally) people don't discriminate their clients or customers (the money makers) but discriminate against their staff.

I'm so sure that the guy won't have a problem of removing the cross if you ask him to remove it unlike your Muslim sister up here. Lol.

And mind you no one sack your oversized sister they give her an option and she choose the one she want, so why are you making it as if she's the victim?

You shouldn't suddenly display your stupidity openly. You were trained at home na. Can't you read and comment without a myopic mindset. Or has tribalism being perpetrated on nairaland now turned you into a blind human being without any sense of smell too.

Mind you, I'm Yoruba to my marrow and I see at 'sick' when Ibos shout 'afonja' for issues that happen everywhere and generally. But I will never join a party of stupidity just like you did.

I hope one day, o ma ri brain ra loja!

As a Muslim it is not compulsory to wear the hijab everywhere. you can wear those cap wey màma teacher or Jehovah witness they wear to school.

you just need to cover your head.

At least you can wear hijab at home for now
