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.

Then join cownu the sewage rat in his pigout sorry hideout

XXLDICK:

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

Efewestern:


Yea it's better than to be with people who reason with their anus, Who thinks Their religion is above the laws of the land, who contributes nothing to the table but takes the lion share, You have everything to loose should we go our separate ways.

parasites.

ibnzubair:


You can drink Alcohol in your house anywhere in the north. Sharia is for Muslims and if you're not, please don't sweat it

ihatesycophant:
Every institutions, nations and set up has its rules, regulations, ideals and customs that need to be followed. The NBA president should not have postponed this kind of argument, he's been long in the business for him to have rose to that point. He should have First Class info at hand and not dribble the sensibilities of people. Is it allowed or not in Nigeria law system.

As a lady, I want to go and play football with my hijab.
It bad to take up a profession you can't obey its rules.

MrHistorian:
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?

my brother, Jalabia and turbarn are not compulsory in Islam but #Hijab is compulsory

SuccesYear:
Why not ! If you think it does makes sense to you

MemphisRaynes:
No mind me, I got incensed and started typing without any recourse to my grammar. Make I prove say I can do very good English in writing.

Odingo1:

You are lying, stores that sell alcohol are closed down and bottles are destroyed by sharia police, where will non muslims buy the alcohol to drink at home.And after all this the north will take a lion share from the proceeds of alcohol tax from southern Nigeria.
You muslims are hypocrite, why wont you people reject the money from alcohol sales that you people consider as haram.

JesuEruOluwa:

Even after the NBA chairman agreed to addressing the issue,
You still went ahead to post these pictures SMH

lilmax:
it shouldn't be allowed.... period

Arielle:


Correct me if I'm wrong but if wearing of hijab is compulsory, how come other Muslim ladies did not wear it on that day. How come a whole lot of Muslim ladies don't wear it, normally? I know several. Shall we compare this to, say, the Catholic nuns to whom wearing of the habit is compulsory and part of their prescribed dressing? But they dress according to the law of the profession, foregoing the habit in favour of the wig, for their call ceremony. Being a lawyer is by choice. Making that choice involves committing to adhering to the rules that govern it.

OkpekeBeauty:
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.
