so I should get used to u calling me mumu abi...I wonder if that what xtianity preaches...

bareal:


Yes you are right. But, now that there's a dress code, is it right for anyone to violate it?

ofwest47:
see all these Islamaphobics talking nonsense, here is a case , a CAN of worm who refused to register a successful law graduate to practice in Nigeria because of their anti Islamism; the same successful girl is being admitted to practice in New York city the capital of the United States of America USA. which one is more preferred and I am very sure that anti Islam CAN of worm can never be admitted in the same way in the
U S or any other part of advanced world .
Very big shame on the anti Islams.

Caseless:
Don't let them get to you.


If you're new here, just develop tough skin and ignore their hate and stupidity.

oyinda1599:
...sometimes I understand their plight,that's y I turn their hatred to joke...i just play around it.

Ladyhippolyta88:
No it is not right for the person to violate the law.She would have obeyed then seek redress in court.

zionmde:
Rubbish
U spend 6yrs studying Nigeria law only to decide to disobey the law at the end. If the Nigerian law profession is not good for their kind of Islam, why study it?
Islam permits beating of someone's wife, so assuming this girl becomes a judge and the issue of assault is brought to her by a hajiya, she will place the tenets of Quran above the law.

She is better off studying Islamic studies. Secular law is a haram, as long as the quran is not the Constitution, rather the Constitution was coined by unbelievers, then she has no business with it. She should have concentrated on becoming a sharia lawyer.

HYPOCRITES

Antina:


Oya!! Tell us where the instruction says 'do not wear hijab'

loshybab:

Can u do me a favour by viewing the pic of the lady in question again? Only someone with hate for her religion would say she has violated the dress code.She only covered her head and neck in the most meaningful way without tampering with the elements of the dressing;the wig,rope,gown etc.

I strongly believe there is a way the basic components of dressing for both major religions can be incorporated into professional careers.

Starting with Islam, the basics include:
1-Covering the head together with the neck
2-The arms
3-The legs
.....considering the above and using the law dress code as an example,it shouldn't be difficult accommodating these basics using the lady's appearance to justify no1,the use of sleeves for no2 and under-leggings (for whoever is comfortable with it) for no3.

As for the basics in the Christian dressing,considering the various denominations of Catholics(which I think is the only one that would require some clear modification to be accommodated),deeper life members, other Pentecostal and new generation church members,it includes(I stand to be corrected on this):
1-The scarf-attached cap
2-Their regalia
3-The cross
4-And others I may not know of.

....the above too can simply be accommodated by the law wig replacing the cap and the scarf used underneath it for no1, the law gown already has the similar design for no2, the cross could be used under the scarf for no3 and for whatever others I don't know about.

There is just too much islamophobia and gross intolerance to the Islamic religion on the part of our Christian counterpart.
THE RELIGION IS FOR PEACE,SO AM I!

I hope this religion issue.. will not bring Nigeria down one day.
Nigerians be carrying religious matter for head like iced water.

The girl is obviously comfortable in her hijab, why not let her be
The hijab doesn't make her less of a lawyer.

BetaThings:

It is not every instruction that can be obeyed
Why do people rail against draconian laws


Tell us the particular section of the Constitution that supports your view!
You don't know what you are saying sir!


She respects the law. The guide on dressing is against the law and constitution


I see? Everybody who disagrees with anything is automatically a cheat?
This is your smart way of arriving at conclusions?
And have you weighed the consequences of that obnoxious rule?


You have no pity except for your hate and intolerance?

zakari247:
if we have any hypocrites hear, your are. the constitution supersedes any law in Nigeria. so I ask don't the constitution allow freedom to practice your religion any where in Nigeria without hindrance? listen novice less you ask again how does this contradict, you in Islam unlike Christianity every thing about other than killing for Muslims is worship, we avoid nothing only for the sake of worship and we allow for ours nothing only for the sake of worship. so novice anybody that try to stop a Muslim from donning the hijab is tantamount to denial of my worship write. and any who do that is denying me of my fundamental and constitutional right to freedom of worship.

Our sisters should learn a lesson from this, especially those of our sisters who are carrying feminism on their head like gala.

No feminist is on the side of Firdaus Amasa, they have all retreated until a woman they consider an actual human being has a problem.

Our twitter "influencers" who are Muslims should also take note how they are alone on this one. Some of them are even afraid to take it up as a campaign as you may lose your "circle of friends".

I made a post some years back and people came here to complain, but for once i did not explain myself because i didn't want to be insensitive. I posited that if the Chibok girls were not mainly Christians there will be no Bring Back our Girls campaign.

Some people started shouting that those who initiated it were Muslim women and i just didn't say anything out loud, in my mind i was like folks don't know shit. Of course when Christians are the victims Muslims will fall on top each other to join the campaign, but when fellow Muslims are involved, these same Muslims will hide somewhere.

Aisha Yusuf is retweeting about Firdaus. Retweeting oh, the great fearless Aisha Yusuf that can insult two Buhari and one Yar'adua inside 150 characters. She is now retweeting. Fear no let am create hashtag not to talk of NGO on top this matter.

Hadiza Bala Usman is inside a container at NPA, so no show. My friend Inibehe Effiong is no longer a human right activist, he no longer believes in fundamental human rights, he has decamp to supporting "rules" over the under dog because this underdog has a Muslim name. "Mama" Oby Ezekwesili is of course minding her business, how the matter concern her? She is giving her twitter Bible lessons as usual, fear no let any Muslim twitter influencer quote Qur'an except to insult a fellow Muslim and say Islam is peace, turning the other cheek and praising the Lord, Halleluya.

They have boxed you in a corner, not me. I don't know why a man will imprison himself via friendship. I am a Muslim and i do not have time to be nice about that; my not drinking, smoking, womanizing, stealing, or cheating should be enough niceness, i do not owe anyone jara.

If you are around people who will only want you to stand up for them but will not stand up for you then you do not know your worth.

Again, i repeat myself. I am a Muslim and my bias is ISLAM. The non-Muslim that will question me for this or that i will be afraid of that will make me not stand for my brothers and sisters in Islam has not been born, and will most likely never be born.

Mr Man which part of the quoran said so? I double dare to show me.

embraze5:
If you dont want to dress like a soldier, then dont join the army..... If your religion is against how the police behave and dress, then dont join the police in the first place.... If your religion and belief is against prostitution, dont go through the learning process of prostitution and then say u wont sell sex for money.....if u cant dress in the code of those for call to bar, dont study law in the first place!.... Stop the religious blackmail!

MrAcube:
What dress code are u hammering on oga. What's wrong in someone wearing hijab under her wig jàre. The constitution is supreme for ur info. and it clearly supports the lady's right to dress as her religion dictates. Perhaps u should go read the constitution and be better informed.

MrAcube:
Ur assertion is based on ur personal judgement. Nigeria remains where she cos of the level of thinking of people like u. Have u taken time to see police officers in the UK, some of whom are allowed to wear hijab on full uniform? Lawyers and judges in UK and some other developed countries putting on items other than wigs? Are they harassed? Get ur facts right before putting forth ur biased and badly myopic views

Elthugnificent:
[24:31] Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.

There is nothing there as expected.

Ishilove:
Some people are brainless. What is wrong with the Hijab?

Built2last:
If your religious beliefs forbid you from dressing in a particular way that members of a professional group dress, then it is first of all sinful for you to decide to belong to that profession in disregard to your religion and hope that they will change their standard of dressing to accommodate you. This is what we should be talking about, not about whether or not decision of Body of Benchers was right or wrong.

See your President's daughter last year when she was called to bar.

I have been to Turkey, a country that is 90% Muslim and and they hadly wear hijab. Are they going to hell by Naija Muslims standard.

Businessman1986:

Vivere:


Do not lie. Which lawyers and judges in UK put on items other than wigs, in court? Am not talking about outside the court, o!

MrAcube:
The first is British Sikh Judge Sir Rabinder Singh Promoted To The UK Court Of Appeal

The second is a lawyer also in UK

The third is also a UK judge among his colleagues judges.

Oya try talk ur way out of this, hypocrite.

Politicians on the right have welcomed a ruling by the EU’s highest court that allows companies to ban staff from wearing visible religious symbols, as a long-awaited legal judgment ricocheted into the French and Dutch election campaigns.

In its first decision on the issue of women wearing Islamic headscarves at work, the European court of justice in Luxembourg ruled the garments could be banned, but only as part of a general policy barring all religious and political symbols.
