tpia@:

this is the same problem which is escalating in nasarawa.

Please explain to me how the matter is the same as that of Nassarawa. I'm a leaner

why must you create separate rules for yourself?
what exactly is so difficult about following the school regulations concerning uniforms?

We are creating NO rules for our selves. If they are not allowed to wear hijab, it simply means that they are denied their right to practice their religion freely everywhere as stipulated in the Constitution that supersedes any other law in the country.

and these lagos public schools in question, were appropriated from church missions. Let them return these schools and everyone will be happy.

That will be better. Because the said schools will no more be public schools. Hence, Tax will not be used to pay the teachers. And also, all the schools founded by Ansar-ud-deen (a muslim society) and some others will also be returned. By that time, we would know if it's everybody that can afford to send his/her ward(s) to private school(s).

i dont see anything to get excited or worked up about!!!!!
christians are the ones who should be complaining over the govt taking their schools after they built them.

Sorry to ask, how many are these schools we are talking about?

and may i ask you if there have been no muslims in lagos schools before now. Why is the issue suddenly a priority at this particular point in time? Because boko haram is fighting for an Islamic republic in the north, to later be extended to the south?

Perhaps students that chose to wear it then were not abused. How can you describe the 43 strokes given to a girl of 12 because she decided to wear hijab And another suspended from school because her principal saw her wearing hijab on her way to school etc etc

DICKtator: Getting ready to download Asap.follow the trend

Bia, I checked your profile and to my surprise, in every post, you used four of this ( ) smiley
Biko, anything attached to it

tpia@:


why not go to an Islamic school if religion prioritizes education?

Because public schools in Lagos are for all Lagosians including Muslims!!!

Jamey Maxwell: As long as they knw where the north is. Its kul 4 dem

The commissioner lied

Prof Corruption:

Why can't they take their wards to Islamic schools if religion obligation is more important than learning?

You tell me how the use of hijab stops/hinders one from learning

Prof Corruption: What's the essence of this Hijab? What does it do? Can't students just wear normal school uniform?

It's one of their religion obligations.

The essence and what it does shouldn't be your concern as long as it doesn't cause you any harm.

ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE: HIJAB BAN, MRS OLADUNJOYE LIED TO THE WORLD!!!

The attention of the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN) Lagos State Area Unit has been drawn to the purported ban on the use of Hijab in Lagos State public Schools by the state government.

The State Commissioner for Education, Mrs Olayinka Oladunjoye, was widely quoted in the media claiming that the decision to ban the use of hijab was a consensus reached at a 'stakeholders' meeting chaired by the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture Mr Oyinlomo Danmole.

We want to state unequivocally that the claim of Mrs Oladunjoye was an absolute lie and an attempt to obtruct the course of justice.

The commissioner claimed in her statement to the media that the MSSN representatives were at the so called stakeholders' meeting where the decision to ban the hijab was taken. This is ridiculous. How can we be demanding that the right of Muslims to use hijab in schools be given them and at the same time we will consent to a 'consensus' that is anti-thetical to our demand? We were never invited for any meeting at any point in time!

Let us state here that the state government had reneged on its agreement to call us for dialogue since our mass protest of Februarry 28, 2013 to the Governor's Office in Alausa. The state government did not only reneged on all agreements but also ensured through delay tactics that the case is swept under the carpet.

The pronouncement by the commissioner is an after thought and a flagrant disrespect for the rule of law. We have already served the government court notice on the issue and Justice Oyewole of the State High Court had fixed May 27, 2013 for hearing of our suit. So, we wonder why the commissioner, who we believe, knows the position of the law, would come out to make such irresponsible pronouncement. Her action makes us to question her professional integrity as a lawyer!

We therefore advised governor Babatunde Fashola to caution this woman before she destroyed the integrity left in the government.

Such personalities like Mrs Oladunjoye and her co-travellers are not fit for public positionand should henceforth be removed from office.

As we have stated in our previous positions, we will employ all legal and peaceful means to ensure our rights are not denied us. The constitution of Nigeria recognises the right to use hijab in schools and nobody can take it away from us.


We will not relent!

Thanks.

Muslim students fault Lagos on Hijab


The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State chapter, on Wednesday said it was not part of any decision on the use of Hijab in Lagos State public schools as claimed by the government.

Commissioner for Education, Mrs Olayinka Oladunjoye, was reported in the media to have said the decision not to allow the use of Hijab, except for prayers, was a consensus reached at a meeting chaired by the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture Mr Oyinlomo Danmole and attended by stakeholders, including MSSN.

However, in a statement by the group’s Public Relations Officer, Sulaimon Alamutu, the MSSN said the claim by the government was tantamount to obstructing the course of justice.

The group said, “How can MSSN be part of the so-called stakeholders’ meeting where the decision on the use of Hijab was taken? This is ridiculous.

“How can we be demanding that the right of Muslims to use Hijab in schools be given them and at the same time consent to a ‘consensus’ that is antithetical to our demand? We were never invited for any meeting at any point in time!”

The society said it had dragged the government to the court on the issue.

It said, “Justice Oyewole of the State High Court had fixed May 27, 2013 for hearing of our suit. So, we wonder why the commissioner, who we believe, knows the position of the law, would come out to make such irresponsible pronouncement. Her action makes us to question her professional integrity as a lawyer!

“We therefore advise governor Babatunde Fashola to caution this woman before she destroy the integrity left in the government.”

“As we have stated in our previous positions, we will employ all legal and peaceful means to ensure our rights are not denied us. The constitution of Nigeria recognises the right to use Hijab in schools and nobody can take it away from us.”

confusion247:
There is nothing like repetition here, just answer my question.

You are not aware of the section in the constitution that allowed you to practise your religion freely everywhere? For your information, hijab is mandatory for muslim women and girls. Hence, they should be allowed to wear it to anywhere they are going according to the constitution.

Wait o. I just scanned through your question again, you really want me to point out in the constitution where it is stated to use hijab in public schools?

You must be one heck of a joke. Like seriously everything should be specifically stated in the constitution?

confusion247:
If the governor has no right to ban Hijab in public schools in his state, may be Sani yerima has no right to declare sharia law in zamfara state during his time as governor. Kindly point it out in our constitution where hijab is allowed in public schools.

Your question has been answered over and over again.

You can make use of the search engine to avoid repetition. Thanks

tbaba1234: There is no way, this will stand. There is a court judgement which already clarifies the position of the law. It is ridiculous that this is happening when we have a muslim governor.

You beat me to that. To think that he ordered for the demolition of mosques at Ikeja also baffles me.

I think this should make front page, so that people can be aware that the commissioner lied about the matter. And also to be informed that the case is in the court!
