Should the federal government allow this in NYSC camp?

www.informationng.com/?p=333667

The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has rejected in very strong terms the purported ban on Hijab in the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, orientation camps.

The Director-General of the NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, on Tuesday announced a ban on the use of “long hijab” by female corps members, citing security concerns.

But MURIC, in a statement by its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, said the ban is unacceptable to Muslims and accused the NYSC DG of Islamophobia.

“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) rejects the purported ban. It is reckless, baseless and preposterous. No public officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should speak in such manner.

“The pronouncement smacks of power drunkenness. It is a hate statement. The Director General needs to purge himself of Islamophobia.

“On what ground is he banning the use of hijab? Security reason is not enough because we have examples of armed robbers using police uniforms to rob.

“Has anyone thought of banning police uniform? About forty armed robbers dressed in army uniform attacked six banks in Agbara, Ogun State last week. They killed a policeman and a pregnant woman. Should we ban army uniform because of that?

“Brigadier General Johnson and his ilk are hiding under the security challenge facing Nigeria to implement a hidden agenda, namely, to stigmatise Muslims and to embarrass our daughters and wives who wear hijab.

“Is General Johnson aware that female Muslims in the British police use hijab on top of their uniform? Can he tell us how the hijab disturbs a corper’s uniform?

“Does the DG know that hijab is an integral, nay, the most vital part of a female Muslim’s dress? Does he know that female Muslim corpers feel as if they are unclad when disallowed from using the hijab? Is he aware of the psychological trauma such female
Muslim corpers go through?

“How can we spend a lifetime training our daughters to dress decently and you dehumanize them in your camp within 24 hours? How dare you?

“We affirm that we will use every constitutional means to stop this religious apartheid against Muslims in the name of discipline and regimentation.

“Why must Muslims face persecution everywhere in Nigeria? Why can’t the Nigerian system accommodate and integrate the Islamic culture? Why can’t Nigerian officials allow Islamic landmarks to stand pari passu with British colonial and Christian culture?

“Is Nigeria truly independent or is it a banana republic created to serve only the interest of the British imperial masters? Must Muslims be forced to accept British Christian mode of dressing?

How does banning of long hijab make a Muslim lady a non Muslim?

no wahala

I tire ooooo.
See how them wear CUBICLE for body.

Person fit dey inside start Baby Factory business

these people just like protesting

Senegal, Niger Republic that are predominantly moslem took their stand against it for the sake of security but Prof. Ishaq Akintola is here ranting...smh!

I don't think long hijabs should be allowed. If everyone looks at this matter objectively, both sides have good points. However, I cannot risk my life or that of my children because I want to respect someone else's religious practices. If they are allowed to wear hijab, some terrorists would use this medium to sneak in and KABOOM! Everyone is dead, even those in hijab would not be safe too. Besides, what are they wearing this shii for?

How do people in Hijab take passports sef.
Them no write WASSCE?

Very sensitive I must say.
My opinion...

1. Wear hijabs, short ones preferably.

2. Your face should show at least. This only makes sense.

3. This NYSC should be optional. May sound stupid but yea... Optional.

4. Beef up security around camps. Just makes sense

5. Respect people's religions

this islamic religion of a thing is way too complicated.a person dies,they bury him within 24hrs,what if the person is killed,just bury him with the fact.why will a sane person dress like this in the name of praticing religion.as a christian if i see any in the book that my spirit doesn't agree with i drop it because there should be update for everything in life.christ came 2,000years ago to update moses law and left the holy spirit to keep us updated.lastly,christian missionaries brought education to this country and everything consigning education should be done properly.

they should tie scarf na...simple.

Last time ii checked, NYSC iis a paramilitary organization. (i.e an unofficial force, organized similarly to a military force) long hijab was probably banned because there iis an info bout terrorist bombing a camp dressed iin nysc uniform n hijab. These laws are for our own good.

Our constant romance with religion gave birth to all this unbelievable argument bout hijab.

infact there are churches iin Christianity that prohibits female from wearing trousers buh for 1year national service sake they slightly compromised

ii have seen soo many evil bin committed with hijab than good...

1 hijab iis used for suicide attacks
2 for expo iin exam hall
3 for hiding stolen goods at malls
4 for having s*x at night with guys
5 for impersonation
6 for smooching self n so on...

NYSC DG DISCREDITS THE BAN OF HIJAB , SAYS "NOBODY CAN BAN THE USE OF HIJAB

"Yesterday, (25th of November, 2015), several media houses misled Nigerians by spreading false headlines that Hijab has been banned in the NYSC scheme. Immediately, the National executives of the Muslim Corpers’ Association of Nigeria (MCAN) contacted the Director General of the scheme through a letter and Text messages to verify the news going viral.

Prior to the misleading news from the media, the National Executives of MCAN met with the DG on (Tuesday, 24 of November, 2015 which corresponds to the 12th of Safar, 1437AH)with respect to the same Hijab and harassment of Corps members issue in some states. In the meeting, the DG assured MCAN of collectively creating a lasting solution to the issues we raised.

On (Wednesday, 25 of November, 2015 which corresponds to the 13th of Safar, 1437AH) The DG discredited the misleading news of some media houses and bloggers such as Punch, Daily trust, and Linda Ikeji among others. He reaffirmed his willingness to work with MCAN executives to attain a better NYSC. The following text messages were exchanged between the DG and MCAN to reach a consensus on the issue, as we await an official document to this effect;

MCAN“Good day sir, please can you kindly clarify the news on the Ban of hijab.
Thank you
”25th of November, 2015 – 04: 59pm

Director General of NYSC;
“Nobody can ban the use of Hijab in NYSC. We are only pleading that due to the current security situation in the country, our corps members are requested to try and avoid use of Long Hijab. However, what’s your own view and advice on it?
Thanks
”25th of November, 2015 – 05: 08pm

MCAN“It is a great honour and privilege to be given the opportunity to advice. We advise a hijab to the knee and a three quarter trousers. We have also asked our members to cooperate with the security agencies to maintaining peace and order during checking and to report suspicious persons. It is a great opportunity having your personality as DG, We pray for your long life and health.
Thanks
”25th of November, 2015 – 06 : 44pm

Director General of NYSC;
“This is fine, I will ensure that this is conveyed to all the states orientation camp to guide them.
Thanks and God bless.
”25th of November, 2015 – 06 : 50pm

Based on our discussion with the DG, all Muslim corps members are hereby informed that; White Hijabs which is up to the knee level and three quarter trousers are now accepted by NYSC pending the time the security challenges in the country will be totally eradicated, it’s very difficult to compromise our religious conventions to this extent by accepting to use Hijabs which are not up to the feet or ankle level however the DG pleaded we accept his offers in order to prevent any security threat. In addition , the DG also promised to send directives to all the NYSC staffs.

Hence, Kindly report any military or NYSC personal to your MCAN state Amir if you are harassed or ordered to take off your hijab, provided it’s around the knee level. In Sha Allah, we shall communicate further information to you shortly. As we await an official communication to this effect. Thus, we enjoy you to stay calm. We advise all Corps Members to submit to security checks, be respectful, obedient, tolerant, prayerful and above all, report any provoking issue(s) to the rightful bodies in order to prevent any form of regrettable violence.

Kindly disregard all the misleading and false information from media houses. Get a first-hand information from MCAN in regards to Muslim corps members’ affairs.

Furthermore, we enjoy all media houses to deploy investigative journalism before passing out information, as passing of wrong information of this nature can turn the country into total mess. We also use this medium to call the attention of the Ministry of Information to control the flow of unprofessional and misleading News.

Special Appreciations to;The NYSC Director General : Brigadier General Johnson Olawunmi, NSCIA ,
The Muslim Youth League in Da’awah, MSSN,MURIC, FOMWAN, CRITERION, Other Islamic Bodies, Individuals and Sisters’ Organisations who showed support through Calls , messages and media campaigns.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, KINDLY SHARE THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN

How did you know all these?

Visit the north and see the wonders of hijab wearing women. They smoke, drink etc in this hijab. This hijab is a room and parlor for atrocities.

Isn't it this same ppl that said the English letters on the naira note stands for Christianity while the Arabic script stands for Islam? They argue blindly.
I can't believe that man is a professor, no matter how much book u read, once you are infiltrated and indoctrinated with Islam, you reason like an illiterate

Safety 1st before any other thing, after all NYSC is not by force, she can choose to be exempted so that she can practice her religion very well

For security reasons...

NO[b][/b]
