oyb: Gone through your profile, so much hate and even tag people "christian intolerants"... and you have the effrontery to say you have worked for 15 years in a corporate organisation of which am guessing muric or some muslim outfit... your profile clearly depicts you as a muslim fanatic and the same person the world is weary off.. |

oyb: Empty vessels make the loudest noise.. that is a secular practise and should be treated as such.. join muric or sharia court.. from your post history, it obviously shows you are a fanatic campaigning for votes. 1 Like |

SouthEastFacts: Since over 80% of those called to bar are Christians, then we shall see how many lawyers that will be called to bar annually.the sort of slow thinking joker that is characteristic of posters in politics these days. care to substantiate your ridiculous claim? 4. To allow all other Christian denominations to attend with their choir robes.this is why i shake my head for you pikins. you said clearly - choir robes. or are you so daft that you think the hijab is only worn in the mosque? are the garments worn at white garment churches worn any where else? most importantly, if you, deeper life, catholic nuns, or anyone else feel that you are being marginalised , you are free to follow the same steps the lady did. no one is holding you from wearing your white garment to the court. feel free to do so and start your own petition. anyway, your handle says it all. another miseducated youth. 1 Like |

I see nothing bad with the dressing. The hijab was neatly tucked in. So what's their problem |

oyb: All air, no sense made. A profession has a right, just as your religion does, to dictate how it's members present themselves. She's not challenging any status quo, she's being rebellious and should be dealt with for dragging Law in Nigeria into this furore. If a stripper has no business covering up, if the safest gear a surgeon can wear is scrubs and surgical hats, then a Muslim should have no business with a profession that demands a different uniform from her religiously proscribed one. She should try Shari'a law. Enough with the blackmail. 4 Likes |

Stalwert post: They don't want Muslim women educated is that not in itself Bokoharam? Who doesn't want Muslim women to be educated? The problem with us in this country is religion then tribal colouration. If she wanted to advance her education in USA and she is asked to remove the covering in the embassy so that her face can be taken accordingly, I knw she will gladly do it without sweating but since it is in a country where she knows that many Muslims are waiting for something like that; she decided to act. WHEN YOU GO TO ROME BEHAVE LIKE A ROMAN. |

oyb:80% is understated. I just wanted to be liberal. The first female Christian lawyer to be called to bar was Miss Ukeje in 1971, while Hauwa was called to bar in 1999. Female Muslims entered the legal profession recently. Take it or leave it, 80% of practicing female lawyers in Nigeria are Christians. Nobody is marginalising us, nobody can. Even though most Muslims are breeding without sense, Christianity in Nigeria is still the largest and fastest growing religion in Iran. Our religion teaches us to respect constituted authorities, but if Muslims think they can blackmail CLE into changing the convention, then we are going to show them why we are the largest religion. Whether Choir robes are worn only in the church or not, we will start wearing them to CLE ceremonies. |

oyb: So you want to equate fighting against racism to being a petulant child? Is she being denied her rights to be a human being? Someone isn't qualified in grooming, you're making an analogy to racism. Mrcheew. Every tattooed, rip-jeaned, Gothic, leather-jacket wannabe will make their case to dress however they wish if a loophole is allowed in the use of uniforms, how can you miss that? At the bolded, NBA is a legal entity, it has its own code and creed on the presentation of it's members as bound by law. Please stop sounding ignorant. |
Re: Hijab Controversy: Affected Law Graduate, Amasa Firdaus, Speaks [premium Times] by Nobody: 9:25am On Dec 17, 2017 |
Ultimus: There is nothing in the NBA dress code that speaks out against wearing hijab. Covering your hair and neck in no way impacts on your professional appearance. All that has been happening is professional intimidation and bullying without any basis. I have already posted a link that speaks to the NBA dress code. Did you somehow miss that? Stop sounding like a black Jim crow troll. You are the typical intolerant Christian. How does wearing hijab translate to poor grooming? Two years ago, before this beard gang fad, I'm sure you would have said the same about full beards. Your comment on grooming and equating Goth dressing with modesty shows exactly what you are, a typical intolerant Christian bigot |
Re: Hijab Controversy: Affected Law Graduate, Amasa Firdaus, Speaks [premium Times] by Ultimus: 9:49am On Dec 17, 2017 |
oyb: I don't even know where to start with your rant. NBA might not explicitly prohibit use of hijab but it doesn't imply it is admissible as part of the uniform. I also did not equate Goth with modesty. I was only drawing a parallel on how people will want to impinge on establishments. because of what they wish to do and are comfortable with. I'm not a Christian. Your last tirade pretty much sums up why you're wringing the argument in the context you have chosen to see it. This is not even a religious argument. I'm just trying to make you see in the same vein a Jewish kippah is not a Muslim wear is the same way a hijab is not a law uniform. |

Ultimus: I also did not equate Goth with modesty. I was only drawing a parallel on how people will want to impinge on establishments. because of what they wish to do and are comfortable with.what establishment is being impinged on? nigeria is a multicultural and multi religious country. all nigerians have freedom of religious expression. as others have said, if it is your private club , you are free to make any impositions you feel like. this is however the NBA, an organisation which fortunately in this case has muslims in sufficient number, both as practitioners, SANs, and well heeled customers to bring this to a logical conclusion. I'm not a Christian. Your last tirade pretty much sums up why you're wringing the argument in the context you have chosen to see it. This is not even a religious argument. I'm just trying to make you see in the same vein a Jewish kippah is not a Muslim wear is the same way a hijab is not a law uniform. your typical christian looks down on and is irritated by women in hijab. whatever your religious state today, you were likely raised a christian and your exodus to atheism would not have expunged the ingrained loathing and disgust. i can say this because i am a muslim, though i do not 'look' like one. so at different stages of my life christians have felt comfortable grumbling to me about ladies in hijab. it is thus not surprising that some that get into positions of power try to stop women from wearing hijab. as i also stated, i work in corporate nigeria. the CEO of my company [an oil and gas multinational] is a woman, and she covers her hair and always has. no big deal to the oyibo partners. i have relatives who are senior managers in companies like stanbic, who cover their hair. no big deal there either. and this is the highest corporate level. no matter how you try to slice or dice it, this is a MULTIRELIGIOUS, MULTICULTURAL COUNTRY. wearing a hijab will not impact on your professionalism in any way. it can even make you look like a severe, no nonsense woman. no corporate dress code i have come across speaks out against wearing hijab. it does not need to be stated as it is not an issue. if it were a burqa or niqab, i might understand the issues being raised. but a scarf? thats just intolerance |

oyb:That was a mistake, I didn't scroll up to see the other names. I sincerely apologise for that. Even with the mistake, it didn't negate the central theme of the argument. Female Christian lawyers enter the legal profession before their Muslim counterparts. Stella Thomas was called to bar in 1935, while Mariam was called to bar in 1967. |

oyb: Nigeria is actually a secular country because the constitution expressly prohibits a state religion, in other words, there ought to be a separation of religion from the state/Governance. So, Nigeria is a secular country that has multi-religious and multi-cultural ethnicities. Now the same constitution that guarantees freedom of religion, also guarantees the free rights of those who choose not to express any religious beliefs. In other words, the same constitution that guarantees your right to express your religion as a muslim is the same that guarantees equal rights as a christian and all others. I hope you can understand this simple break down Now to the issue at hand, It is a matter for the NBA in this case or the college of benchers to determine how it's members as a body should be dressed when practicing this particular profession or during the call to bar. If they choose to be religiously neutral and by that I mean ban all religious clothing and insignia across board and affecting all religious inclinations, then they are well within their constitutional right as a body to do this. This doesn't constitute any kind of discrimination or intolerance. Your right to wear hijab cannot supercede an organisation's right to determine how the organisation should be known by for their functions. For all practical purposes, unless the NBA decides to accept ladies using hijab or any other religious wears they are within their rights to deny the said girl. The said girl is just a misguided islamic fanatic that feels she can score some cheap points. See as a reference the ECJ ruling on a similar matter. This is just a pattern to see how more sophisticated climes have dealt with this kind of issue. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39264845 |
