Supreme Court can't rule against the constitution just to serve narrow mindedness of few in NBA who drafted the rules. The rules will be put to test, time has come. I'm loving this.

you are the one being narrow minded. supreme court rules based on case law and facts, not sentiments. you are just being hyper sentimental. The constitution is on NBA's side. That's what i'm saying

Saheed9:
what about this

Maybe the girl should have gone to for the Kenyan bar. Different countries have their own individual laws. The Nigerian Bar doesn't allow hijab under the wig. she should follow the rules

Caseless:


Ordinarily, you'd expect buhari's daughter to go the way of everyone simply to avoid the wrong belief of breaking the law cos she's the president's daughter you guys will naturally hold against her and call her father unprintable names.

She(halima) can't even tell you Firdaus is wrong for putting on hijab - either by law of the land or that of religion.

That Buhari's daughter doesn't wear hijab doesn't mean others shouldn't.


Tell me, which law has Fridaus broken?

Christians are so selfish. They don't want any other religion beside Christianity
That is the main issue

Christians without asking for evidence decided that Buhari's daughter is right and Firdaus is wrong
That does not show enlightenment

Now Pastor T B Joshua and Mr Freeze are on side on tithe issue; Pastor Adeboye and others are on another side
Mr Freeze and his supporters have been quoting the bible
Even with the evidence Muslims have not pronounced judgement on the matter

But Christian passersby say they know who is right on Islamic matters

ollah1:




The part of the Bible that makes me wonder every time is

"If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery" Deuteronomy 13

Before you play old testament cards
Your pastors collecting tithe with Malachi
You pray with Pslam and quote proverbs


Exodus 5:18

"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished"

Don't be intelligent by half

Yet Jesus is ever forgiving and merciful

How I wish these verses can be defended. Can anyone explain the above quoted verses from the holy bible??

How does a small girl turkin in a hijab inside her graduation gown infringes on say a Christian right or a pagan right or a school right? That's what the judges would look at. The girl does not in anyway infringe on anyone's right apart from breaking a school tradition. Finally even as you claim read section 1(3) and you would know which one superseded the other in terms of the girl fundamental human right and what u now term as school right

it's the NBA's right to decide there own organisation's religious inclinations. I mean the organisation itself, in other words what it wants to be known by as a body.

This is the issue right here, the NBA has a right to have its own tradition. That exactly is the issue.

maasoap:

Nigeria constitution doesn't give anyone or organisation the right to determine what religious inclinations of their members should be. The NBA itself is not a human being but members made up of it. Let the court decide.

not the members, the organisation has a right to determine as a body it's own religious inclinations

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/pizarro-executes-last-inca-emperor

On November 16, Atahuallpa arrived at the meeting place with an escort of several thousand men, all apparently unarmed. Pizarro sent out a priest to exhort the emperor to accept the sovereignty of Christianityand Emperor Charles V., and Atahuallpa refused, flinging a Bible handed to him to the ground in disgust. Pizarro immediately ordered an attack. Buckling under an assault by the terrifying Spanish artillery, guns, and cavalry (all of which were alien to the Incas), thousands of Incas were slaughtered, and the emperor was captured .

abdddone:
what some people fail to understand is that Islam waxes stronger due to diligent observance of its laws by conscious adherents and not by negligence of the lax.

The conscious adherents are often wrongly referred to as extremists though, while the negligent ones who compromise the islamic tenets are referred to as moderate or liberal muslims.

Comparing Islamic Hijab to Celestial garment doesn't befit a sane educated mind because they are both distinctly different.
Hijab is not periodic apparel that is only worn on Friday, it is a part of female dressing throughout her lifetime while the same cannot be said of celestial garment or any other apparel you people hypocritically bring in comparison to the noble Hijab.

Let them wear the 'Cele' garment. Who cares!!!

Antina:


U still don't get it!! Buhari's daughter can never be Firdaus and vice versa.

Mind you, Buhari is not the standard of Islam.

The point here is adherence to the dress code and laud down rules of the Council for Legal Education and not Buhari, his daughter, Fridaus and Islam.

Get the point now?

We're getting there

Islam is indeed a peaceful religion. The hate and anguish emanating from your post is enough to put me down literally.
Take it easy bro, else you might get a heart attack.
Religion was here before you were born and it will still be here by the time you die.
Our biblical God like you said was directing the message to the Israelites. You can believe what you like, but that's that.
Even if it was for Christians, at least our God never asked us to kill anyone who's not a Christian unlike your confused god who also claims to be pissful.

We don't follow daddy GOs in Islam. We follow Quran not Buhari and his family.

To be called to Bar, you have to follow rules (including dress code) laid down by the Council for Legal Education not the Quran.

aorta:

This is a not a rule but a tradition.....when you know nothing don’t come online to waste your mb....there is a court judgement on hijab which is a case between Lagos state vs MSSN...Traditions can not overcome constitutional right which is right to religion....

Don't quote me next time when what you want to display is ignorance. The Council for Legal education has it rules which also among other things sell out the dress code on the day lawyers are to be called to Bar.

FYI. Just as you have your right to freedom of worship and association, an association also has the right to decide who joins it. Your right stops where someone else's begins.

Saheed9:
what about this

In other countries, you may be permitted to wear hijab while you are called to bar but it's not obtainable here in Nigeria.
Why can't you people use your brains for once?

Stalwert:
So every Muslim lady should copy her? The issue is a matter of rights, whatever culture the NBA created for itself cannot be used to supplant the rights of Muslim ladies who do not want to uncover their head.

The legal body as an association also reserves the right to determine who joins it.

NBA is not a social club registered only with CAC. It is a national institution empowered to regulate legal matters
For tax practitioners, accountants, doctors, engineers etc they have statutorily recognised bodies regulating their activities

You cannot hope to be a professional practising female Muslim using Hijab if all those institutions say no to Hijab
Since the people wearing Hijab are Nigerians, the law must recognise that

Jehovah Witness are practically allowed to "risk suicide" by not taking blood transfusion because of their religious belief, although suicide is illegal in Nigeria
Nobody attacks them for that

Why are Christians opposed to Hijab?
What harm does Hijab do to a Christian?
Why do public schools use school resources and facilities to hold Christmas Carol and are opposed to Hijab

The very same Buhari they accused of wanting to ISLAMIZE NIGERIA is now their preferred point of reference.

If that same Buhari daughter for whatever reason pick up a case against a Christian body, dey will confusingly as expected, ignore her hijabless head and return to put on their garment of hate to resume duty.

@Bold - they keep shuffling their reference point because the only thing they are consistent about is the need to have only Christianity practised in Nigeria

On the day of Eid El Mawlid, they were quoting Aisha Yesufu who said we celebrate too many holidays
Of course they did not offer to forgo Christmas because they were concerned that we take too many holidays
Now let them tell Aisha Yesufu that Hijab is wrong
And let Aisha either remove her Hijab or publicly support Firdaus

dyydxx:


Brother, her right doesn't supersede the right of the Law school to be religiously neutral. if she can't abide by the rules of the Law school, she shouldn't have gone there. it's very simple.

On the case you sighted, the matter needs to be escalated to the supreme court. Your constitutional rights don't give you licence to trample on other people's constitutional rights. it's that simple

My dear friend her right is not trampling on your right, her wearing hijab under her gown does not suddenly change the neutrality of religion of the institution, it is your phobia that is making you think so.
Most institutions in UK including police have modified their uniforms to accommodate hijab, it doesn't turn British police to become Muslim police, its just your islamophobia that is making u think so.
Come to think of it, this girl was allowed to wear hijab for four years at the university no issue, she was allowed to wear hijab at law school for one year no issue it didn't affect the school neutrality. After Bar lawyers can wear hijab in court no issue, so its just the one hour call to bar ceremony that will now make her islamize the law school?
Its just tolerance my friend, she would not eaten infringed on your right. Pele.

if you want to change the law, that is a fair discussion. Infact, we can partition the country and have those that want to have an islamic state get their country. This is exactly what happened in Sudan... when all these nonsense sharia thing started they just partitioned the country so that the sharia zealots can have there country. The same thing will happen here too anytime anybody is stupid enough to want to impose sharia values here.

Now if the country is a secular state, then let everybody make their rules and adhere to them. Also, displlay your religius beliefs privtely but anything that has to do with governance has to be strictly religiously neutral. There needs to be a strict adhere to the religion vs state separation

dyydxx:

Ikoyi Club, registered with CAC only, can ban Hijab

For tax practitioners, accountants, doctors, engineers, architects etc they have statutorily recognised bodies regulating their activities

If all those institutions say no to Hijab, it will be unconstitutional and as they are denying muslim girls the right to practice as professionals
