How will govt and muslims feel if Christian boys start wearing Jewish "dome" to public schools?
Hypocrites!

Where is hijab in your Quoran?

"O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59).

toyinjimoh:
have you ever seen marry mother of God and holy sister open their head? or are they Muslim

Have you ever seen Mary the Mother of Jesus before with your eyes? Do Rev Sisters do so in the schools or in their church? Is a school the same as a church? Also, the Bible admonished women to cover up. Are teenagers and pupils in the schools women? What age does womanhood begins? Use your head.

PHIPEX:
Are they saying Christians can run fellowship in a Muslim school? Should a Christian student sue a moslem school for not allowing him organise a crusade in the school?

Why can a hijab wearing student find another school that accepts her faith?

If that school is owned by the government then, YES!

What quoran talks about on the bolded is niqab.
Not hijab. Niqab is foe married women, not high school students.
So, scholar, where is hijab in all of these? Head-covering was introduced into Arabia long before Muhammad, primarily through Arab contacts with Syria and Iran, where the hijab was a sign of social status. After all, only a woman who need not work in the fields could afford to remain secluded and veiled

The religious bigot state government is causing unnecessary crisis

You can't force a religious school to abide by the rules of a different religion

They should establish their own schools with their money and set their own rules

Am not from kaduna and don't know if its better or not, what am saying is, when u push people too much, they'll push back

You're the one pushing yourself
Stop fighting for your God
If they are doing bad by letting your people not wearing hijab let your Allah fight for your people

You Muslims are always fighting for your God
We Christians leave it for God to fight

I see you're a terrorist who want war in Kwara state see how it is sweeting you to condemn Christianity
Dragging the Bible
If you feel Christianity is false, just say to yourself that if Jesus didn't exist and not the true son of God, let you yourself die
I dare you then you're know the truth when you get to the other side

The governor of kwara state is an idiot. He is not in good terms with Sulu Gambari the emir , he is not in good terms with Bukola, he is not in good terns with Christians. He thought he is punishing the christians but he forgot that the Muslims in that school will also stay at home. That's why I like my school Anglican grammar school ilorin, they don't accept Muslim students and it remain a mission school till date. Christian schools should henceforth stop accepting nuslims. Nothing good can ever come out of islam. let the muslims go to their boring asarudeen schools simple. Muslims go to Muslim school and Christian's go to Christian School.

Wow never knew that’s the modus operandi of Anglican Grammar School. Where are they situated at now. Think it used to be along Bishop Smith side.

The school is owned by government,

they take instructions from the government.
Besides the constitution of Nigeria allows for Religious expression,the society allow Pluralism.

On what ground did the govt take over private properties?
Is the govt so daft to the point of not being able to establish it's own schools from the scratch?

Hijāb_* *Controversy* *In* *Ten* *Schools* *In* *Ilorin*
On the 19th February 2021, the Kwara State government ordered the closure of ten schools formerly owned by some Christian bodies. The schools were taken over by the government in 1974. The government, however, allowed them to continue to bear their Christian names, while the government has been responsible for the running cost and maintenance of the schools. The ten public schools were ordered closed by the government to prevent the breakdown of law and order following the refusal of the former owners of the schools to allow Muslim teachers and students of the schools use _hijāb_ within the premises of the schools.
It will be recalled that there had been _hijāb_ controversy in Kwara State since 2012, following the attempt of the former owners of the schools to have full control over the schools that had been taken over by the State government. They demanded that the schools should be returned to them. Consequently the government was sued by the Christian bodies at an Ilorin high court but the Kwara Muslim Community applied to be joined in the suit on behalf of the Muslim students who are not allowed to use _hijāb_ in the schools. The State government won the case on the 17th of May 2016. The judgment was appealed and the Christians lost again in September 2019. It is remarkable to note that the Appeal Court ruled that the appellants lacked the right to make Christianity the only standard in the schools. It also said that "the refusal of the schools to allow the use of _hijāb_ is discriminatory as it is a practice in tune with the Constitution. "
The Court of Appeal judgment of September 2019 has not been challenged by the Christians at the Supreme Court. Consequently Muslim students and staff went to their schools with _hijāb_ but they were sent out by the schools' principals and the heads of the Christian bodies which owned the schools before they were taken over by the government in 1974.
One expects these Christian bodies who were dissatisfied with the judgement of the Court of Appeal to proceed to the Supreme Court. Instead they took law into their hands, which is a flagrant disobedience to the judgement of the Court of Appeal. The leaders of the Christian bodies and the principals of the schools should be tried for contempt of court.
Interestingly, Britain that brought Christianity into Nigeria has allowed wearing of the _hijāb_ in her schools since 1980s. The Nigerian Christian bodies want to be more Catholic than the Pope. Toby Howarth, the Bishop of Bradford, in the Diocese of Leeds, of the Church of England supports the wearing of the _hijāb_ by primary school girls. He says:
"This is a matter of religious identity, not sexualization, and the British policy should be not to make a big deal of it, but simply say that you have to wear the right colour that goes with the school uniform" ( _The_ _Sunday_ _Times_ , 03 September 2017)
A _Sunday_ _Times_ survey also reveals that thousands of state primary schools allow girls to wear the _hijāb_ as part of approved school uniform in UK. Incidentally the country has allowed a Muslim woman, in person of Raffia Arshad, who wears _hijāb_ to become a judge.
Ilorin is generally known as a Muslim town. It has been an Emirate since 1823. Muslims are officially in majority. Sharia Court system operates in Kwara State adjudicating over Muslim matters. No non - Muslim has been forced to appear in the court. Christians established schools to convert Muslim students to their religion. They deny Muslims the practice of Islam in an Islamic town with an Emir and great scholars of Islam. The government in its wisdom took over the schools to protect the interest of all, while it has been financing the running of the schools with taxpayers' money, majority of who are Muslims, and yet the Christians continue to oppress the Muslims by not allowing the Muslims to practise their religion. Do the Christians expect the Muslims to fold their hands and watch their children converted to Christianity before their eyes? That is not possible. Christians attend Muslim schools in the state. They are not forced to wear _hijāb_ in the Muslim schools.
Ironically the Bible enjoins Christian females to cover their head (1 Timothy 2:9-10 & 1 Corinthians 11: 4-7). Catholic Rev. Sisters and Mothers obey the biblical injunction. Mary, the mother of Jesus wore _hijāb_ . The artistic impression of Mary as displayed by Christians confirms that. If some Christians now jettison biblical teaching and celebrate nudity, immorality, indecent mode of dressing, Muslims will never do that. They obey the . teachings of the Qur'an on the female mode of dressing (Q33:59 & 24:31). Muslims must note that the Christians want to make Muslims emulate their disobedience to God. Muslims have been warned by Allah against the antics of the Christians (Q2:120). Let's be on our guard and stand firmly by the ethos of Islamic mode of dressing.
Kwara State government should solve this lingering problem once and for all. The government should exercise full control over all the schools that it has taken over. They are public schools. They should be seen as such. No religious body should have any control over the schools. The schools should cease to bear the names that reflect any religious body. They no longer belong to any religious body. That was done in other northern states in 1974.
Principals and Vice Principals should no longer be appointed by the former owners of the schools. Loyalty and allegiance of the Principals and the Vice Principals will always belong to whoever appoints them because whoever pays the piper dictates the tune. The government should appoint them as they appoint other teachers to demonstrate that it is the owner of the schools, and that the schools are not jointly owned by the government and anyone, or partially owned with anyone else.
Every Nigerian has been guaranteed religious freedom by Section 38(1) of the Constitution. Everyone must therefore be allowed to enjoy that freedom wherever he or she may be in Nigeria.

This people want to Islamise Nigeria by all means, even claiming Bible supported Hijab and that Christian are going against Christian. This children of Ishmael don't know they are lost and not the promised child of Sarah. They will continue to disturb Christian (Isreal) as the Bible prophesy but at the end they will be destroyed.

Imagine saying they should rename the school, this guys are calling for war. You will never see Christian going to their place of abode. But they will enter church (the other day one even enter church with mat to pray), enter Christian celebrations with their masquerad attire, come to Christian school and won't want to obey the Christian lay down rules. This people are nothing but boil in the a$$

It is religious that will kill this country Las Las!! Nigeria being a secular state should not have condoned any form of religious dress in schools inthe first place..and if they will,i expected children of traditional worship worshipers to wear may be clothes that reflects their line of worship as parts of their uniform..Those dresses are mere traditional wears of those whose religion we have copied..

For me religion is doing more harms than good in the Nigeria of today.

Consequently Muslim students and staff went to their schools with _hijāb_ but they were sent out by the schools' principals and the heads of the Christian bodies which owned the schools before they were taken over by the government in 1974.
One expects these Christian bodies who were dissatisfied with the judgement of the Court of Appeal to proceed to the Supreme Court. Instead they took law into their hands, which is a flagrant disobedience to the judgement of the Court of Appeal. The leaders of the Christian bodies and the principals of the schools should be tried for contempt of court.
Interestingly, Britain that brought Christianity into Nigeria has allowed wearing of the _hijāb_ in her schools since 1980s. The Nigerian Christian bodies want to be more Catholic than the Pope. Toby Howarth, the Bishop of Bradford, in the Diocese of Leeds, of the Church of England supports the wearing of the _hijāb_ by primary school girls. He says:
"This is a matter of religious identity, not sexualization, and the British policy should be not to make a big deal of it, but simply say that you have to wear the right colour that goes with the school uniform" ( _The_ _Sunday_ _Times_ , 03 September 2017)
A _Sunday_ _Times_ survey also reveals that thousands of state primary schools allow girls to wear the _hijāb_ as part of approved school uniform in UK. Incidentally the country has allowed a Muslim woman, in person of Raffia Arshad, who wears _hijāb_ to become a judge.
Ilorin is generally known as a Muslim town. It has been an Emirate since 1823. Muslims are officially in majority. Sharia Court system operates in Kwara State adjudicating over Muslim matters. No non - Muslim has been forced to appear in the court. Christians established schools to convert Muslim students to their religion. They deny Muslims the practice of Islam in an Islamic town with an Emir and great scholars of Islam. The government in its wisdom took over the schools to protect the interest of all, while it has been financing the running of the schools with taxpayers' money, majority of who are Muslims, and yet the Christians continue to oppress the Muslims by not allowing the Muslims to practise their religion. Do the Christians expect the Muslims to fold their hands and watch their children converted to Christianity before their eyes? That is not possible. Christians attend Muslim schools in the state. They are not forced to wear _hijāb_ in the Muslim schools.
Ironically the Bible enjoins Christian females to cover their head (1 Timothy 2:9-10 & 1 Corinthians 11: 4-7). Catholic Rev. Sisters and Mothers obey the biblical injunction. Mary, the mother of Jesus wore _hijāb_ . The artistic impression of Mary as displayed by Christians confirms that. If some Christians now jettison biblical teaching and celebrate nudity, immorality, indecent mode of dressing, Muslims will never do that. They obey the . teachings of the Qur'an on the female mode of dressing (Q33:59 & 24:31). Muslims must note that the Christians want to make Muslims emulate their disobedience to God. Muslims have been warned by Allah against the antics of the Christians (Q2:120). Let's be on our guard and stand firmly by the ethos of Islamic mode of dressing.
Kwara State government should solve this lingering problem once and for all. The government should exercise full control over all the schools that it has taken over. They are public schools. They should be seen as such. No religious body should have any control over the schools. The schools should cease to bear the names that reflect any religious body. They no longer belong to any religious body. That was done in other northern states in 1974.
Principals and Vice Principals should no longer be appointed by the former owners of the schools. Loyalty and allegiance of the Principals and the Vice Principals will always belong to whoever appoints them because whoever pays the piper dictates the tune. The government should appoint them as they appoint other teachers to demonstrate that it is the owner of the schools, and that the schools are not jointly owned by the government and anyone, or partially owned with anyone else.
Every Nigerian has been guaranteed religious freedom by Section 38(1) of the Constitution. Everyone must therefore be allowed to enjoy that freedom wherever he or she may be in Nigeria.

The Bible says we should dress modestly. Same as the Quran. Women should cover their head IN PRAYER as stated in the Bible. There's no hijab in both books.

Why don't Muslims send their children to Muslim schools for their peace of mind instead of all this stress which is totally avoidable? Muslim schools are certainly grant aided too. Why not build more or expand the available ones to avoid conversion?

In FG Colleges of old, there were uniforms without hijab even in the North including FGC Ilorin. There was the beret for head covering. Students blended happily and all were adequately provided for. There was MSS and SU/SCM for Muslims and Christians respectively... No issues. Muslims were catered for during Ramadan.

Taking over other people's asset is a sin before God. It's a most unfair thing to do. The takeover of schools is what gradually led to the collapse of moral values and reducing education standards nationwide. Lagos State that chose to return schools to their owners is improving in standards by the day because they can now concentrate more on the real public schools which can now compete favourably with the private and mission schools. Dragging everyone down in the name of control while basic infrastructure and prerequisites for high standard of education are not met will continue to breed half baked high school graduates as we see now. Children who at SS level can't string together a few words in English correctly.

It's so disheartening when one visits great schools of old that are now living on past glory all because of the unnecessary desire by some people to control everything possible even when it's detrimental to everyone's progress.

He omitted to tell you that there is an appeal before the Supreme Court. Why is govt jumping the guns?
Is hijab in your Quoran Hijab is a Saudi dress, and predates Quoran, but you guys want to impose it on Nigerians in this era of insecurity.

Hijab is mostly middle east dress and it's morality is to cover women's accessories and protruding bodies so as to limit immorality and tensions between human specie !!

Hijab is a Moral dress supported by Abrahamic Religion including Christianity... Women in Jesus era wear Hijab , even Jesus covers his head with veil ....

stopeeeetttttt !

The governor of kwara state is an idiot. He is not in good terms with Sulu Gambari the emir , he is not in good terms with Bukola, he is not in good terns with Christians. He thought he is punishing the christians but he forgot that the Muslims in that school will also stay at home. That's why I like my school Anglican grammar school ilorin, they don't accept Muslim students and it remain a mission school till date. Christian schools should henceforth stop accepting nuslims. Nothing good can ever come out of islam. let the muslims go to their boring asarudeen schools simple. Muslims go to Muslim school and Christian's go to Christian School.

For a Yoruba Girl ... Saudi and Isreal doesnt even give a damn and razztazz about Yoruba race nay Nigeria ....

see how u are ready to desecrate your race just for Religion that's Alien to your culture ....
