With the spate of bombings in Nigeria by 'hijab wearing girls', should the federal government ban the wearing of hijab in Nigeria? I'm presently serving in the north and truth is, recently, I've been trying to avoid girls wearing hijab (even though it's almost impossible). So in my own opinion, hijab should be banned albeit temporarily till this insurgency issue is permanently resolved. Just my thoughts though, let's here yours.

I'm with u on this one

Immediately! We shouldn't be negotiating this one.

European nations like France has placed a ban on it already...it would be tough in Nigeria but I won't mind if it happens although head cover can be permitted sha

The annoying part of it is that most of them are even worse than girls in other parts of the country in terms of morals...

not only hijab, big skirts too.






Abeg jor, na by hijab.
















just passing through

Hmmm...on first thought it seem like a very plausible approach to the spate of bombings in Nigeria but if we take a cursory look at the situation and analyse it properly and without bias then we would realize that banning the hijab will do nothing to curb the menace called Bokoharam.

Given that Bokoharam have killed more people using car bombs, would it then be appropriately to ban every vehicle up North because of this? I am sure your answer would be a resounding NO! Banning the hijab will not stop Bokoharam from detonating more explosives.

There have been several cases where bombs are hidden beneath the 'hijabs'/'abayas' which has resulted in deaths of many persons and same have been perpetrated with cars too. Cars cannot be banned entirely, hence they are restricted to certain places and they are thoroughly searched. You don't expect security operatives to start telling women to raise their 'hijabs' before permitting entry. It would be better to just restrict wearing it so as to prevent/avoid the embarrassment altogether...

With or without the hijab, Bokoharam can still function effectively. Banning it is no solution to the problem.
