Islam is a religion of peace because i myself i am peaceful. Don't say Islam is not a religion of peace. All religions are peaceful. It's some of us that are not peaceful. There is no bad religion. There are only bad people. There are no bad cars we only have bad drivers. God bless us all

Islam is not a religion of peace. This is coming from a yoruba man who has plenty muslim friends and acquaintances.

Move your kids to Islamic schools where you won't have to worry about being stopped from wearing hijab. This school has its rules and the parents are aware of this, why then did they bring their kids to the school. This school has been standing for more than 20 years and situation like this never occurred until now. Besides, this is a private school not a government owned school.
You people just like looking for trouble where there is none.

u r saying ISI isn't a Muslim school, den is it a christian school?...it belongs to the university of ibadan... is UI a christian establishment.... therefore, its secular... Nd wearing hijab is just compulsory female attire in as much u remain as a Muslim either u r at home or anywhere... der r some oda religious belief dat u cn say it should b optional bt nt lyk wearing hijab

Bashir75:


I'm a Muslim but against anything that has to do with forcing an agenda or doctrine on any Muslims or non-muslims, Therefore I don't believe you have to force any human to do your bidding or believe same way like you. I can only persuade and if my persuasion aligned with your values and accept, good for you. This issue of hijab is non-issue.

Case study- We are biting more than we can shew in this case and creating an unnecessary problem for ourselves and our society. There is nothing wrong in wearing the small female cover we called Hijab and it is different from the veil or full cover. Let's accommodate each other, let's see and understand the differences between us and harness it for the good of our people. We have the same problem nationally between all our major tribes namely Ibos, Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani, there's no mono-ethnic or religion in the world but they learn to cohabit together, understanding their differences . They love the benefits the diversity brings. I'm a Yoruba-man and a Muslim. I had my secondary education in Methodist school daily singing songs of praise which I enjoyed and my Imam father never complained or protested against it due to his tolerance. My father has bible and Quran in our home and, he used to study both for knowledge, agree with the bible as a book from GOD. Today, we are so hate-full based on where we come from, our religious diversity and how we look. We are less accommodating and it might lead to a bigger problem. Religion wasn't a problem in the southwest until we allowed from another tribe the importation of new generational Christian doctrines, opening churches like grocery shops everywhere in the southwest, we cohabit before without rancor.

Before you cursed or abused me, I'm from a mixed home. My mom was from a Christian family and my father was from a traditionalist. We are four in my family, two are Christians and two are Muslims. There is an agenda to destroy the Yoruba internally by external hands, they labored hard to differential the Lagosians from mainland Yoruba, they looked to separate us at the micro level but all to no avail, Now they one to use religion. We need to go back as Yoruba to our foundation of tolerance and peaceful tradition of cohabiting to emphasize why we are unique. My love for the Yoruba Race/ Tribes is unshakeable no matter your tribe, your religion or political inclination. But, understanding we have differences in our ways or methods of worshipping is key to our success just like we understand we have traditionalists whom idols are at the core of their faith.

How many times have you called out Prof. Akintola of Muric, who is the major divider of yoruba along religious lines?

Like I said on this Hijab issue, Christian parents should endeavor to enrol their children in strictly christian/western schools. As a christian, I won't allow my children to school where hijab is permissible! The terrorist acts of muslims worldwide has made me apprehensive of muslim presence (as typified by Hijab) wherever I or my family members are. You cannot blame non muslims for Islamophobia. They have genuine concerns!

I am not IPOB. I am a yoruba man. Believe what you want. And I never said the SW isn't united as of today. But the cracks are evident everywhere. We're we bothered about this Hijab issue some years back in the SW?

This is a growing concern and has nothing to do with IPOB.

YUSUPH1986:
that shows the principal was out to act against the regulations of the law . what is wrong with student wearing hijab. After notifications and copying the necessary stakeholders. she is welcome I am more than sure that those parents are up to the task.

Have you seen any of the armed forces or paramilitary putting on religious attires? like a Traffic warden with a hijab or soldiers wearing each their religious attire. There are rules governing all to be secular, the school in the news is a secular one.

I have been wondering,What do most Christians have about we wearing Hijab ? What's really thier problem with the Hijab ?
You will wear your Hijab and you will still hear them passing stupid remarks"It's not pike she is decent" "She will be wearing it all the time like she is better than us" "Character is the koko" WTF is really thier problem ? Someone clearly said,It's not even in the school rules not to wear the Hijab.

diadem10:

Didn't even realise you're one of these fanatics. What a shame.
Care to tell me what the word uniform is?

I once stated that my Mum once headed a muslim school where majority of the staffs had their young kids enrolled into the school yet regardless of their religion, every male child was required to put on his cap while the female had their hijab wear on and no one complained. Why? Because it was the uniform wear. Everyone had to be uniform in their wears.

Hence it's a height of stupidity to want to impose non-uniformity into a school which already has a laid down uniformity. You muslisms should always put on your thinking cap.

That said, it's becoming pathetic the way some muslims are sowing seeds of discord and anarchy in the SW with the way they are carrying on. Also, I don't see why a Yoruba man/woman shouldn't bear a Yoruba name. You could have a baptismal name or a muslim name but your Yoruba heritage should be easily identified through your name but it isn't the case with most muslims in the SW. Some even have both their surname and first name in Arabs which is a shame.

Your ignorance is stunning. Sorry
You need to be schooled on what fanatism is but definitely not by me. Good to know that you pointed that your mom once headed a school, she's presumably a teacher, I am not. She's in a better position to do that for you. As a mother and as a teacher

Your reasoning seemed too occluded to realise that no one is asking the school uniform be changed. Thanks for advising us to put on our reasoning caps, we have at least.
I will advise you to get a reasoning cap (because it's obvious you do not have) so that you can know that some Christians have all their names Western/biblical. It's called bigotry. You're blind at yourself and see others clearly.
Out of your bigotry and bitterness, you've ignored issue based argument, embraced crudeness, name calling, and baseless stances. Your headache ab initio was hijab, now names, tomorrow it'll be beard. Lagoon usage is free. Do the needful. I even thought you're a sensible person, it's a pity.

Lmao. The northerners are doing same to divide us. One idiot in the north once said the Yoruba muslims weren't at a gathering but only the Yoruba christians whereas the muslims were gathered as well but it was a pdp gathering which was clear to all yet the northern idiot would rather make such a stupid statement. How do you think the Fulani conquered the Hausa? By differentiating the Hausa muslims from the Hausa traditioners and eventually, the muslim joined the Fulani to kill their fellow Hausa traditioners and imposed an emir who's a fulani. Today, we have Fulani in every area of their politics as well as the governors governing them. Same happened in Ilorin.

That said, your father couldn't have impose his ideaology over the laidn down rules in your methodist school because the missionaries built it. These missionaries schools and hospitals are more or less historical artefacts and heritage that need to be preserved. No one asked the Islam founders to propagate war rather than build something useful to the society.

BalogunIdowu:
We need to attack matters with sentiments, bigotry or personal hatred. Allowing the use of hijab as part of the school uniform even sewn by the school to avoid disparities changes nothing. It is a freedom exhibited by law and part of the deen.


Now some people will come saying, should other faith be allowed to use theirs to school too.

The simple answer is do they wear it to office, meetings, work, outing, and others. But the hijab is goes everywhere with a Muslim woman not just to mosque which common sense should tell us of its significance in the faith.

Some people will still bring excuses anyways, this is not for you to accept but to expand the dimension of our reasoning!

There is a reason its called uniform. Key word.... "UNIFORM"

tayyibb:

And you think they are not been mistreated?
Actually they are

The foundation of Nigerian education was based on the idea of our colonial master most if not all were Christian missionaries.
Everything about the structure is in line with Christianity,that is why you can't see anything wrong in it.

We are now an independent nation,our ideology too should be independent,we know there are both Christians and Muslims in this country let accommodate both and stop hiding under secularism, Nigeria is not a secular nation except we want to deceive ourselves.

What is wrong in wearing hijab?will it affect your own dress?
Tell me.The problem stems from the fact that we claim to live together but we fail to understand eachother.
Muslim prays compulsorily 5times a day and part of the requirements is for you to cover what is necessary in your body.If Muslims are not allow to wear hijab,they won't be able to do this obligation anywhere they are whenever there is time for the prayer.

Any thing that is demanded by Muslims are called many names Islamisation, extremism, terrorism.Let stop this and reason intellectually.We are all biased in one way or the other we just don't won't to agree,give us space too what are you afraid of.

Islam is not limited to mosque,it pervades all areas of a Muslim life,he must look at everything with Islamic spectacles and act accordingly.

If it is a private enterprise u can have it in your way but for government owned we both have the right to enjoy it without infringement on our fundamental rights.

The point in bold is one of the biggest issues with Islam. You guys can't practice your religion in silence as something between you and your god. You want to colour everything in the society with your religion, but it cannot work.
You guys talk about rights. Does your religion consider the rights of others to have a contrary belief? Why do you guys still kill people for apostasy in the 21st century? Is there a physical structure called a church in Saudi Arabia today? Yet, there are hundreds of mosques in England, Italy (even Rome itself).
The hypocrisy of Muslims stinks.

Owodiran1:

And you did not get my point to yours? Like HIV, is there sign on which Muslim is or will remain non barbaric? Prevention...prevention...prevention.

It quite unfortunate. We are too divided on a lot of front in this country. Our problem alone is not in our tribal differences. Even among people of same tribe you have a clan claiming to be the first among equals.
Then religion further diminish us. Among the Muslims there are divisions as seen by those who considered themselves more closer and faithful to the Islamic mandates. Same can be said of the Christians as well.
Following from the above, it is only a matter of time before issues like this erupt like a volcano. The problem will be stretched further by people in position of authority who are saddled with the duty to take a stand. They will be divided based on their religious stand and the need to be a voice. Then a decision will be taken by that man who has the final power to do so. His decision will as well be influenced by the side of the divide he belongs to.
Then, there will be shouting and people buying their time till he ends his tenure and they ensure another person whose religious stand will favour them take hold of the position. He will of course change the law on the uniform again. And on it goes...
it so sad that we now have a case in our hand, a precedent in the making and something that might shape and change the face of alot of things down the academic/educational line. This is therefore not the end, it only the beginning

And yeah, the muslims in the Sw are found of giving stupid arabic names than their christian countepart. A christian Yoruba would rather give name such as oluwatobi, oluwbukunmi and so-on which are Yoruba than some eediots with nurudeen, Asisat and all nonsense.

And they will be the first to call others bigots which is what they themselves are.

You keep saying Islam is not a religion of peace because it only takes a peaceful mind and body to recognize and acknowledge peace.

FYI: Muslims are humans and they are not perfect, hence they are capable of making mistakes. ISLAM is perfect, there is not a single verse in it's scripture and laws that is against humanity

Verdict: Don't rush into hasty generalization, your Yoruba Muslim friends will always have an unpleasant reaction toward you awful actions

They are very quick to employ reverse psychology. They easily start playing victims when they are actually the real bullies.
Look at them talking about fundamental human rights. Those that sell beer in the north and have their goods destroyed by sharia police, isn't their fundamental human rights trampled upon? Is there anywhere the Nigerian constitution banned the sale of alcoholic drinks? Let's not even talk about those they kill for converting to Christianity.
They won't talk about critical things like this that directly attack the rights of fellow Nigerians and destroy their means of livelihood, but they will be focusing on wearing hijab.

Here we go again. Did this school just start today? Have they not been in existence running their affairs smoothly for many years? Where did this hijab issue come from again?
You see why we can't blame the Slovakian government for not allowing islamists to come into their midst. They always have a way of fomenting Trouble anywhere they go. The only time these islamists are peaceful is when they are in the minority. The moment they feel their numbers have risen considerably then that society will have no rest till you conform to their will.
Let Islamic schools be established for Muslims where they can cover all parts of their body if they so desire and secular school be established for those with no religious affiliation and also Christian schools for Christians so we can stop having all these unnecessary issues.
The religions we have been practicing in Nigeria where has it taken us? We are still one of the most corrupt and the poverty capital of the world. Think Nigerians think.

Stopping Hijab wearing in school is not analogous to stopping people from going to church.

Its their value, not yours that's the point...you have your values and would always guard it...forcing everyone to drop their values to align with laws that in every sense is biased itself is injustice ... As I have said where tolerance is missing hate is replaced
