Argument Over Hijab Needless, We Will Address It – NBA President by seguntijan(m): 6:53am On Dec 16, 2017 |
http://www.lawyard.ng/justiceforfirdaus-argument-over-hijab-needless-we-will-address-it-nba-president/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork#JusticeForFirdaus: The President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, A.B. Mahmoud, SAN, has promised that the Association would look into the circumstances in which Amasa Firdaus, a graduate of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) was prevented from being called to the Bar on Tuesday. Firdaus was said to have been denied entry into the hall where the ceremony held by officials of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for failing to remove her ‘hijab’ covering as directed. The prospective call to bar candidate reportedly insisted on wearing her hijab in adherence to her religious beliefs and refused entreaties to do otherwise. She was subsequently locked out and could not participate in the ceremony. Firdaus’ plight has garnered nationwide attention and has been the subject of a debate about the constitutional right to freedom of worship and the obligation to respect laid out rules. A call for Firdaus to be admitted to the Bar has also been trending with the hashtag #JusticeForFirdaus. Joining the discussion Friday afternoon, NBA President Mahmoud referred to Olufunke Abimbola, a Nigerian lawyer based in the United Kingdom (UK) who was recently honoured by Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to promoting diversity in the legal profession. Writing on his Twitter handle, @abmtwitt, Mr Mahmoud said Firdaus’ plight would be addressed while also adding that the NBA would embrace diversity. “UK based Nigerian lawyer recognized for promoting diversity in the legal profession. The NBA will embrace diversity and tolerance in the Nigerian legal profession. The Hijab issue will be addressed,” Mahmoud said. The NBA President went further to share a picture of his daughter being admitted to the New York Bar while wearing a hijab and declared that the argument over hijab in Nigeria was needless. 17 Likes 1 Share |

So,this hijab of a thing led to heated argument with some of my friends on Whatsapp yesterday. To be fair and unbias,inclusion of hijab to one's dressing does not depress productivity nor deteriorate intellectual output.The basic reason for such law in some institution is just to ensure uniformity. Like the dude above me argued,what about other religious factions who are mandated on some specific dressing.Well,the answer for them is to proceed to a competent law court to establish it. Is Hijab not even permitted in secondary schools? Is hijab not permitted in tertiary institutions? 33 Likes 3 Shares |

princeade86: Your argument holds no water because those you mentioned are not mandated to wear their costumes always. Their religion didn't make it compulsory. For me sha, I'm sitting on the fence on this issue, I can't tell if it's right or wrong. Muslims deprive many Christians of Thier right in the core northern states that practice Sharia. Imagine I can't drink alcohol peacefully and you control the way Christian girls dress in a secular nation. Make I just Siddon dey look 18 Likes |

Jihad has many forms. This is one of them. Christians vote in a Muslim party(with a known jihadist as flag bearer), Muslim party fills all key positions with leaders sympathetic to their cause and agenda. Those leaders gradually change the law of the land to be receptive to islamic indoctrination finally sharia is introduced. While all these are going on Christians are fighting each other about tithe, ear ring, weavon, make up etc. One day their children wake up to the moon and star added to their flag, currency with Arabic symbols and name changed to Islamic Republic of Nigeria. "For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light." Luke 16:8 NIV Gods people truly perish for lack of knowledge 41 Likes 3 Shares |

![]() If I could, I will thank those people who prevented fidaus from entering the ceremony for insisting on putting on the hijab. What People like fidaus do in closed doors shocks even the devil. Let her keep deceiving herself. It's just unfortunate that in this country, we are easily swayed by religious sentiments 57 Likes 1 Share |

As much as I find the trend ridiculous, it should be addressed ASAP before it actually cost us human lives. We all know how fanatics can easily take advantage of these situations. |
