If you are a Muslims, you already know what to do with this comment, whatever your tribe is. This people want War. Stay angry don't forget. We've never insulted their religion. Fulani herdsmens and farmers conflict is not about religion. Those herdsmens don't even practice the religion. But what do they do? they come here and insult our religion. Insult our prophet. Kill innocent Hausa people burn their property. While we stay peaceful, they continue atrocities against us.

YOUR ANGER SCARES NO ONE. YOU CAN ONLY KILL, AND THAT IS WHEN GOD PERMITS. AFTER YOU KILL, DO YOU GET TO LIVE FOREVER? RUBBISH.

To me it boils down to inferiority complex, contempt and intolerance. Cos if it is not the earlier stated, how can a girl putting on a piece of cloth to cover her hair threaten you. Just for the record and for all those saying all sorts, Ilorin people are muslims, they were magnanimous enough to tolerate your religion, give you their land to peacefully stay( even if it is sold), carry on your business e.t.c and you want to give all these away because you cannot tolerate people that tolerated you. Wow, just wow. If this were to be in the core north, we all know what would have happened. Better stay still and let ilorin remain the peaceful place we all know it to be. You will lose out on a lot if you let this intolerance continue. Salam

I dont understand why this is even an issue in the first place, they are not forcing anyone to wear it. Even in the UK one of the most advanced and educated nations in the world allows the female Muslim student to wear Hijab. They are wise enough to respect other people beliefs but hear in Nigeria where we have coconut head "professors" of islam just behave anyhow and hatred for a particular people.

This is should be replicated in Lagos also,Alhamdulilahi

did you read the comments I replied to? Or your level of hypocrisy will not led you

They are all fall of hate so they never see anything wrong with their people.

They're so quick to approve religious irrelevancies... Rubbish country. Rubbish government.

They are trouble makers na, anyways others go wear rigalia to school, same thing that happened in osun state will definitely happen in kwara

It baffles me that the Moslems are fighting to attend Chritain schools instead of Islamic schools? You want to adhere to your religious code of dressing and you left your own religious school?

Ilorin is majorly muslim and u will hardly see them fight xtians or oppress them but imagine a public sch telling students not to wear hijab in ilorin?

No wonder the Lord Jesus Christ did not bring religion to man. It has been used by political power mongers and brokers for the sole purpose of control and domination. God never intended for man to be religious that was why He gave Adam just one rule; do not eat this one fruit. Hiduism is as bad as Islam in India, though there are no Hindu terrorists in the world. It is only in Islam that you have terrorism.

just as foolish as you are , who told you Jesus brought any religion to a man? Where in the Bible please? Tell us the verse. You are just a fool and illiterate , a Christianity was established by Paul and has never been with Jesus even for once..go on research, find out what the origin of word christian is then come back and tell us the results. Foolish flatheadead baby factory product. Olodo

*_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.

Kwara was conquered by Usman Dan Fodio, they killed all their chiefs and installed emirs...what a shame.

Most people making comments on Nairaland especially on things like this, go and find out they know nothing about Kwara. They don't even know where Kwara is.

Because it is government that is the more reason it should be neutral

Ogbeni, Govt forcefully took over those schools from the missions in 1974. I was at Baptist College, Iwo Mission at that time and we knew the havoc that Gen Gowon Administration did to the mission schools then. That is y some of us refused to buy into ....Nigeria prays ...project that he is now championing.

They're at the moment the government's schools with Christian and Islamic names. Privately owned schools are different from public schools.

It is a simple matter. Release the schools back to the owners if they are willing to take back. Let the Govt keep its grants. Shikena.
