Politics › Re: Court Upholds Ban On Use Of Hijab In Lagos Public Schools by Proffdada: 4:53pm On Oct 17, 2014

An Ikeja High Court on Friday upheld the ban on
the wearing of Hijab (Muslim head scarf) in public
primary and secondary schools in Lagos state.

Justice Modupe Onyeabor dismissed the suit
instituted against the Lagos State Government by
two 12-year-old girls under the aegis of the
Muslim Students of Nigeria, Lagos State Area
Unit.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the
government had banned the use of Hijab on the
argument that it was not part of the approved
school uniform for pupils.

Following the ban, the students filed the suit on
May 27, 2013, seeking redress and asked the court
to declare the ban as a violation of their rights to
freedom of thought, religion and education.

In her judgment, Onyeabor held that the
prohibition of the wearing of Hijab over school
uniforms within and outside the premises of
public schools was not discriminatory.

According to her, the ban does not violate
sections 38 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution as
claimed by the plaintiffs.

The judge said Section 10 of the Constitution
made Nigeria a secular state and that government
must maintain neutrality at all times.

Onyeabor said the government therefore had a
duty to preserve the secular nature of the
institutions concerned as argued by the Lagos
State Solicitor-General, Mr Lawal Pedro (SAN).
She noted that since the public schools were
being funded by the government, it was therefore
competent to issue dress codes and other
guidelines to the students.

According to her, the use of uniforms engenders
uniformity and encourages students to pursue
their mutual academic aspirations without
recourse to religious or any other affiliations.

The judge, however, observed that the uniformity
sought by the government in the issuance of the
dress code would be destroyed, should the
prayers of the plaintiffs be granted.

“The non-Hijab wearing students will feel inferior
to those who are putting on Hijab.

“The values of plurality and the respect for the
rights of others who have subscribed to a non-
faith based educational system cannot be
breached.

“In that effect, the issue is resolved in favour of
the respondents and the suit is accordingly
dismissed,’’ Onyeabor said.

Reacting to the judgment, the plaintiffs’ counsel,
Chief Gani Adetola-Kazeem, told NAN that his
clients would file an appeal against the judgment.
“Well the court has spoken but there are still very
many issues to be considered which invariably
means that we will appeal the judgment.

“We are simply not satisfied with the court
decision.

“The angle through which the court has looked at
the issue is quite at variance with the provisions
of the constitution. We will definitely appeal,” he
said.

Please Proffdada I make arguments because I also seek knowledge and would like you to bring the same attitude. If you feel you're sure you know all, then there is little need for this argument as I do not take pleasure in answering questions I have answered earlier. I do not like typing neither do I like writing. Are you freaking serious about the bolded? When as been born in a "top notch holy temple" (whatever that means) been a critera for been "clean". Please don't make cheap arguments with me in an effort to prove that you're right. You only need to convince yourself that you're right not me.
About our worship of images, again I have answered this question before and I don't have time or the energy to explain again. please for more on why we do what you see in those pictures please read http://www.catholic.com/tracts/do-catholics-worship-statues . What you see is merely an act of veneration not worship.
so if I attempt to break any statue of Mary, there's no harm done?

Please the bible also used the litral words for brother to describe other relations when it could have used their actual words to describe their relation, such example are in Genesis 13:8 and 14:12, we read of one example of brother being used to describe an extended relationship: Abraham and Lot. Though they were actually uncle and nephew, they called one another "brother." Moreover, in the New Testament, Jesus told us to call one another "brothers" in Matthew 23:8. The passage obviously does not mean to suggest that all Christians have the same physical mother. Also John 19:25 mentions, Mary the mother of Jesus as having a sister also named Mary the wife of clopas, we know that this cannot mean boilogical sisters as two sisters cannot be given the same name. So OLAADEGBU, the bible is not just for litral translations. Logically again, If the bible really wanted to describe the brothers of Jesus as Mary's children then it should have just said so. Why use the brothers of jesus to describe Mary's children, It should have just described them as Mary's children that they are. Only christ is described as the child of mary.

My dear the fact that mary needed a saviour does not mean she born in sin. She was also saved because if not for God she would have been born a sinner. God is still the power behind her not been sinless hence her saviour. Take this analogy as an example, all men were born into the pit of sin and needed christ their saviour to pull them out but mary on the other could have fallen into this pit of sin but God knowing that Mary would bear his son and could not possibly be in sin while concieving his son prevented her from falling into this pit(This is where the saving comes in). Another example, If am in a battle and an enemy shot me, a doctor comes in and treats me to good health. We can say he saved me right? In another instance, I could be in a battle and an enemy shot me and just before the bullet hit me the doctor comes in and pnoushes me out of the path of the bullet. In both instances , I was saved by the doctor. Except in one instance the bullet did not hit me. Do you get it now? There is nothing God cannot do. I think it would be wired for mary while in sin still concieve her Lord. Like my other brothers have earlier stated, a dirty tank cannot possibly hold clean water, the water will also become dirty. Get it now?
don't you think if Mary were to be "clean " Jesus would have been given birth to in a top notch holy temple?
they say they HONOR Mary but take a look : “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt
not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God...” (King James Bible, Exodus 20:4,5).

nnatom:
funny one though. we honour her by loving and accepting her as the mother of our lord Jesus Christ and not as a mere vessel like many protestant will say.

for more read this.

Why do
Catholics Honor
& Love Mary ?


A1. She brought the Savior into the
World.
Mary said Yes! In Luke 1:26-35 The Angel
Gabriel appeared to the young Mary and
said that she would conceive a child and
he will be called “The Son of the Most
High.” Now Mary has free will, like all of
us, she could have said no. She could
have said find someone else, but what did
she say? In Luke 1:38 Mary answered
“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord;
let it be to me according to your word.”
By her consent, by her free will Mary
united her will to the will of the Father
and brought the salvation of the human
race into the world in the person of Jesus
Christ. Think about it, without Jesus
Christ there would be no salvation for
mankind. Mary carried the God-Man, the
creator of time and space himself in her
womb. She agreed to provide him with
flesh and blood, carried him for 9 months
and nurtured him throughout his life.

A2. “Hail, full of Grace, the Lord is
with you!”

When the Angel Gabriel came to Mary
she was greeted with a royal greeting.
Luke 1:28 recounts Gabriel greeting Mary
by proclaiming “Hail, full of Grace, the
Lord is with you!” The Greek word for
Hail that is used here is a word that is
used to address royalty. Think of it, an
Angel, a being far superior to a human,
greeting a young girl with such respect
and awe; in other cases when an angel
approaches a human this is not the case.
This would imply that Mary is no normal
human being; God created her and
prepared her to carry his son, to be a
living tabernacle of the Lord.
“Full of Grace”, this is said by Gabriel to
Mary in Luke 1:38 before she even said
yes to be the Mother of God. This would
imply that she was full of Grace (God’s
own life and love) even before she had
Jesus in her womb. Like the pure and
untouchable Ark of the Covenant in the
Old Testament that held symbols of God,
Mary was made pure and full of grace in
order to hold the Word of God made
flesh, Jesus Christ
Mary was even given the grace she
needed for the encounter with the Angel
Gabriel. In Revelation 19 and 22 when an
Angel appears to John, he is confused and
mistakes him for God and begins to
worship him. When Gabriel appears to
Mary in Luke 1 something very different
happens. Mary has the grace to recognize
that this Angel isn’t God and Gabriel
acknowledges that Mary isn’t just some
ordinary girl but a girl that has been
prepared by God from her conception to
be the Mother of the God-Man, Jesus
Christ.

A3. “Blessed among women”

After the Angel Gabriel left Mary she
went to see her cousin Elizabeth who in
her old age was pregnant with John the
Baptist. In Luke 1:41 after Mary greeted
Elizabeth, Elizabeth was filled with the
Holy Spirit and John the Baptist leaped in
her womb in joy at the sound of Mary’s
voice. The Holy Spirit talking through
Elizabeth said to Mary “Blessed are you
among women, and blessed is the fruit of
your womb!” Wow, the third person of
the blessed Trinity inspired Elizabeth to
deem Mary blessed amongst all women;
Mary isn’t just some ordinary woman.
These words of the Holy Spirit talking
through Elizabeth make up the middle of
the Hail Mary “blessed are you amongst
women and blessed is the fruit of they
womb, Jesus”

A4. She is the Mother of the Lord

Jesus wasn’t created, as the Nicene Creed
proclaims “He was begotten, not made,
one in being with the Father, through
him all things were made.” So how is
Mary, a creation of God, the mother of
God? This answer is intertwined with the
mystery of the Trinity and the
Incarnation. The Father, Son and Holy
Spirit are of the same substance but are
unique. The 2nd person of the trinity,
Jesus Christ, entered time and space and
took on Mary’s flesh in the incarnation;
when this happened Mary became the
mother of Jesus. Since Mary is the mother
of Jesus that makes her the mother of
God. Mary is not the mother of the
trinity, she did not exist before the
trinity; she is the mother of the 2nd
person of the trinity in the flesh, Jesus
Christ.
Many protestant Christians today say that
Mary was not the mother of God but just
the mother of Jesus. If Mary is not the
mother of God but just the mother of
Jesus then this assumes that Jesus is not
God. This ideology reapeats a 1600 year
old heresy that was disputed and resolved
at the Council of Ephesus in 431AD. The
heretic Nestorius claimed that Jesus Christ
wasn’t divine and that Mary should be
called the Christotokos (Christ bearer)
instead of the Theotokos (God-bearer)
since Jesus isn’t God. The Church at this
council reaffirmed that Jesus is divine
and since he is divine that makes Mary
the Mother of God so rightfully so she
was to be called the Theotokos, God-
bearer.

A5. My soul magnifies the Lord, my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior”

After Elizabeth declares that Mary is
blessed amongst women, Mary sings what
is known as the Canticle of Mary (Luke
1:46-55). In verse 46 Mary sings that her
soul magnifies the Lord. Think about
that. The beauty and purity of Mary’s
soul magnifies or intensifies the presence
of the Lord. It has been said that Jesus is
like the sun; the source of light and Mary
is like the moon, reflecting that light of
God. Mary is not just a vessel that held
Christ, Mary’s body and soul was created
particularly by God to be a living
tabernacle of the Word of God, Jesus
Christ. To say that Mary was just a mere
vessel is undermining that majesty of God
by undermining the greatness of his
creation.
Mary then says in verse 47 that her
“spirit rejoices in God my savior” Mary is
rejoicing in God because he has created
her and destined her to the Mother of his
Son. God has granted Mary particular
graces that no other human has….the
graces needed to be the Mother of God.
The Catholic’s honor and love for Mary
reflects the deep love of God who made
her who she is.

A6. The Blessed Mother

In Luke 1:48 Mary proclaims that “All
generations will call me blessed..” God
created Mary as such a pure, graced filled
creation that from then on until all
eternity she will be called blessed. This is
where Catholics get the title of “The
Blessed Mother”; it’s straight out of the
Bible.

A7. She is the Mother of Humanity

Mary was chosen to be the mother of
Jesus but she is also our Mother. In John
19:26-27 when Jesus is on the Cross he
looks at his mother and says “Woman,
behold your son!” and then he looks at
John and says “Behold, your mother!”
Since early in the history of the Church
this has been interpreted as Jesus
extending Mary’s motherhood to all of
humanity. This can be better understood
in relation to the Father and the Son.
God the Father has one son, Jesus Christ,
but by extension of our baptism Jesus’
son ship is extended to all Christians so
we truly become sons and daughters of
God. In a similar yet different situation
by Jesus’ words on the cross Mary’s
Motherhood is extended to all of us.
Although Mary is human and the Father
is divine we have a mother in heaven
who loves and prays for us.

A8. She suffered with Christ

Mary suffered with Jesus as only a
mother could when seeing her child being
mocked, humiliated, beaten and put to
death in the most demeaning form of the
day. Mary’s suffering was foreshadowed
by Simeon when he said to her after she
presented the baby Jesus in the temple
“Behold, this child is destined for the fall
and rise of many in Israel, and to be a
sign that will be contradicted (and you
yourself a sword will pierce) so that the
thoughts of many hearts may be
revealed.” (Luke 1:34-35).
Mary is considered a co-redeemer with
Christ due to the most personal role she
played in salvation history by saying yes
to taking on the role of the Mother of
God and accepting all the joy and
suffering which came with that. In fact
every baptized Christian is called to offer
up their suffering with that of Christ for
the salvation of souls. Paul supports this
in Colossians 1:24 where he writes “Now
I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake,
and in my flesh I am filling up what is
lacking in the afflictions of Christ on
behalf of his body, which is the church.”
Since we are members of the Body of
Christ we share in the life and mission of
Christ. Mary has a particularly important
share in this due to her unique and
intimate role as the Mother of God.
