NeeKlaus: He claimed he lost a gold chain worth millions in a concert in Jos about 2 years ago. The chain was found and it's a worthless chain which at best will cost N2,000. The boy who found it in Jos approached me with it and I in turn handed it over to the organisers of the event (one of whom is a friend of mine). It's actually a cheap aluminum chain coated in gold color. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: What Is Atiku Abubakar's Highest Educational Qualification? by TheAdvocate(m): 9:00am On Dec 18, 2017 |
Like many of his generation, Atiku's father was opposed to the idea of Western education, and tried to keep Atiku out of the traditional school system. When the government discovered that Atiku was not attending mandatory schooling his father spent a few days in jail until Aisha Kande's mother paid the fine.[1] At the age of eight Atiku enrolled in the Jada Primary School where he performed well. In 1960, he was admitted to the prestigious Adamawa Provincial Secondary School in Yola where he did well in English Language and Literature, struggled with Physics and Chemistry and Mathematics. He graduated with a Grade Three WASC/GCE Certificate in 1965. Following secondary school, Atiku studied a short while at the Nigeria Police College in Kaduna. He left the College when he was unable to present an O-Level Mathematics result.[2] He worked briefly as a Tax Officer in the regional Ministry of Finance, from where he gained admission to the School of Hygiene in Kano in 1966. He graduated with a Diploma in 1967, having served as Interim Student Union President at the School. In 1967 he enrolled for a Law Diploma at the Ahmadu Bello University Institute of Administration, on a scholarship from regional government. After graduation in 1969, during the Nigerian Civil War, he was employed by the Nigeria Customs Service. Culled from Wikipedia. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Career / Re: Is This Legal Precedence In The Firdaus' Hijab And Nigerian Law School Incident? by TheAdvocate(m): 4:01pm On Dec 17, 2017 |
Mynd44: The use of wig and gown is not a regulation of the Nigerian Bar Association which is voluntary to the general public but mandatory to all lawyers. The regulating body for call to bar is the Council of Legal Education which is a body created by law. 1 Like |
Career / Re: Nigerians React To The Hijab-Wearing Law Graduate Who Wasn't Called To Bar by TheAdvocate(m): 1:17pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
A few days or so ago a young lady presented herself for call to bar and rather than simply wear the regulation dress decided to come in the regulation dress with a hijab as an accessory. Now, I notice that very few lawyers have said anything about this matter on the social media and I was tempted not to say anything too until I read somewhere that the young lady and a few persons are suggesting that she was denied her right to be called to the bar because she was a Muslim. Really? Haba jamaa. This is how religious tension is created in Nigeria for no reason. And making this issue a religious one? Haba! Haba jamaa. When I read the report suggesting that the young lady suggests that she was denied her right to be called to the bar because she is Muslim I could not help but weep for Nigeria. Why will this matter all of a sudden revolve around religion? Is it truly a religious issue? I am more troubled by this event and the suggestion that has followed it because I know of hundreds of lawyers who are Muslim but were called to the bar notwithstanding their religious beliefs. Why is this case different? Simple answer: she decided to break a code of dressing acceptable for the call to bar event. That was the only reason why she was not called to the bar. It has nothing to do with religion at all. This is how seeds of discord are sown by some persons who weep us religious sentiments and get some over zealous persons to come out chanting war songs in respect of matters that truly have no connection at all to religion. The question that needs be asked and answered is this, suppose she had decided to dress as a nun because she is a reverend sister as well as a candidate for call to the Nigerian bar, would she have been called to the bar? The answer of cause is NO. And the reason is simple, she would be falling foul of the dress code for her call to bar. That would be the reason for not calling her and not that the Body of Benchers don’t like nuns. Pushing the argument even further, suppose this same Lady was a Christian or a Sango worshiper and yet wore the same hijab for her call, would she be called to the bar? The answer would still be an emphatic NO. This is because it would not be a question of what religious faith she professes but how she chose to dress to attend a regulated event. I have a lot of Muslim lawyer friends and interestingly enough all the lawyers I employ in my office presently are Muslims. Would it be ok for one of them to dress in a hijab and appear in court while seeking to represent a client? NO. Would any such lawyer be said to have been denied the right to appear and represent her client simply because she is a Muslim? NO. The reason such a lawyer would not be allowed to appear in court and argue a cause on a clients behalf is simple, she is not dressed in the regulation dress. I attended an event organized by the NBA Zaria Branch a few weeks ago. The Chief Judge of Abuja was in attendance. When he came in he noticed that several of the magistrates in attendance were dressed in the northern style flowing gowns and babanriga which is commonly worn by Muslim northerners. His lordship who is a Muslim himself from Zaria directed all of them to go back and change into black suits and ties. All of them were Hausa Muslims. Was his lordship discriminating against his Muslim brothers or punishing them for being Muslims or northerners? NO. His lordship eventually said that he insisted they go and change because they were not dressed properly in view of the fact that it was a gathering of lawyers in respect of a Law Week Event. If you decide to be a lawyer you should make up your mind from day one that you have agreed to abide by the codes that other lawyers abide by. Please let’s stop using religion to whip up sentiments and get ourselves support for doing the wrong thing. #Copied from Maxwell Kyon a Kaduna based legal practitioner. 4 Likes |

It's very abnormal for a Christian girl to wear it. A veil is a common clothing for women both Christians and Muslims but certainly not hijab or himar. |
