I must confess, I am confused about you. For someone to boldly display crass ignorance, asking a dumb question, seeking an answer for something in the public domain; and when shown to him now claim .....

What else do you want me to say? Don't wory wait for your ilks to give you and answer you so desire

A simple question? Omo is that a new term or something? You asked a "simple question" on something a google search could have easily answered for you.

FYI:

Omisore once accused Aregbesola of not being an Engineer and has no Coren number among many other ridiculous and baseless accusations. 24hrs later the media showed him that Aregbesola is indeed a Coren certified engineer and a Fellow of NSE.

Pray tell, how is your "simple question" any different from Omisore's "dellusion"?

jpphilips:

forget military operations, concentrate on Instagram and its likes

EVarn:
The army aviation will not displace the roles of the airforce; they will certainly not be flying fighter jets or advanced reconneissance aircrafts or EWACS. Their purpose is to enhance army operations through quick search and rescue missions,evacuation,and providing air cover using light attack helicopters.This will make it easier for the airforce to focus on heavy bombardments and advanced recon.It will also induce efficiency without the common inter-parastatal bureaucracy and rivalry that usually slows down military operations.

mapet:

You are sounding like Omisore, who accused Aregbesola of not being a member of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), especially not COREN certified; only to discovered that Aregbesola's COREN certification number preceeded Omisore's

DaimlerBen:

This is very vague. What do you mean by "interesting posts"?

A Nigerian lawyer and community organizer, Franc Utoo, has weighed in on the trending Hijab controversy after Firdaus Amasa was denied being called to Bar in Abuja recently after she refused to remove her Hijab. Franc Utoo who once posed with Halima Buhari, the president's daughter in Hijab has shared his own take on the issue.

Read what he shared below;

CALL TO BAR:

Firdaus Amasa Up To A Veiled Mischief.

I have refrained from commenting on the trending controversy surrounding the defiance of one Firdaus Amasa (an Ilorin Muslim lady) to adhere to the hallowed Regulation of appropriate dressing for Call to the Nigerian Bar. This is because most commentators supportive of her infractions have added the delicate colours of religion to the topic. Sadly, I have observed many Lawyers here and many of my Law School mates, who obeyed the Rules themselves, but now chose to give credence to the lady's improper conduct. Unfortunately, we have chosen to elevate mundane issues above more important matters that will prosper and progress our country.

For a start, I am a 'small authority' on matters of students discipline, regulation and conduct in the Nigerian Law School, having been the Head of Bar part 1 (Foreign Students) programme and the first Bar 1 student to be voted President of the Students Representatives Council (SRC) during the Bar part 2 programme, and thus becoming the longest serving President of Law School students.

I have intervened on countless occasions to retrieve seized jewelleries of ladies and 'inappropriate' ties and other attires of male students from the Students Affairs office. I intervened on students campus postings. I was awarded the "Face of Nigerian Law School" and "Most Influential Student" during our time and up to this day I maintain a great amount of influence in that noble ground.

Even as President then, I was kindly turned back twice for wearing simple skin slippers on Kaftan instead of sandals, on Friday. I was once reprimanded for wearing black tie with touches of red. I operated under a Muslim DG of the Nigerian Law School, my boss - the amiable Prof. Tahir Mamman (SAN), who made sure the Regulations were applied strictly.

On two occasions I was invited to the Students Disciplinary Committee to be informed of the expulsion of students. One that hurts me deeply was the case of a fellow Bar 1 students (the Secretary of our Bar 1 Electoral Committee) who was expelled with just a week to the Bar finals. Reason: the School received a petition from his wife in the UK (where he schooled and was resident)on some flimsy grounds spurred by the allegations that he married another wife in Nigeria, on coming for his Law School. Thomas Ogwumba later died after some of us were Called to Bar.

The Council of Legal Education regulates the affairs of the Nigerian Law School up to the time of Call to Bar. The Body of Benchers is responsible for the formal Call to the Bar. It was established under the Legal Practitioners Act (LPA), now CAP L11, LFN 2004.

Both of these bodies make certain regulations towards upholding the core values of the legal profession and issues of discipline. On admission to the Law School, students are made to sign forms that bind them to the Rules and Regulations of the School, and towards the end of the programme students are again made to sign the Benchers form and deposed to a jurat indicating that they have CONSENTED to abide by the Rules and Regulations and all other instructions necessarily incidental.

The Law School dressing code sometimes have little variations on subjects relating to Hijab, but it has always been static for Call to Bar: no Hijab, no weave-on, no jewelleries, etc. Presently, the Kano campus of the Law School located in a strict Muslim state, does NOT allow the use of Hijab! The Abuja campus allows for a black, light Hijab but only a head scarf at best for Dinners.

In the attached pictures, 1 is me and Halima Mohammadu Buhari, the daughter of the President Buhari of Nigeria, during our Bar 1 programme in July 2012. Such Hijab was permissible then. Picture 2 was Dinner dressing with head scarf for ladies. Pictures 3 &4 are those of the same Halima Buhari during her Call to Bar. No scarf, no Hijab, only compliance (for a 2 hour programme). She consented for her 'rights' to be curtailed. I used the analogy of the President's daughter because it is a well known fact that she comes from a strictly devout Muslim family. All religious scriptures admonish us to obey God (Allah) while also respecting earthly authorities (Caesar) - see Quran 4:59.

In the Law School, those who live in the hostels consented to their freedom of movement to be 'breached.' Abuja headquarters campus hostels are locked with chains and locks every midnight. No one comes out nor goes in. That is the Rule.

There was a night I was woken up by a group led by the current Team Manager of Rangers FC of Enugu, Amobi Ezeaku, to the effect that a thief just burgled a student's room on the first floor via the balcony and I had to reach out to the Hostel Porter to open the Hostel gate to enable us be in pursuit of the felon. The delay in opening the gate enabled the thief escape.

Nigerian legal system differs from those of other jurisdictions to some extent. This is why I fault the unfortunate statement allegedly made by the NBA President in his comparison of our Bar to that of New York. Some British Inns, for instance, allow for the wearing of Hijab. My classmate (an Indian Sikh), Kernail Singh, was Called dressed in his turban.

I know as a fact that Black and White is a strict dress code for Nigerian University and Law School students, but in England where I studied for my undergraduate Degree in Law, no one cares if you come to the class wearing football shorts and basketball vest with 'unity' cap. There were times my Jurisprudence module lecturer would appear in a tight T-shirt exposing his cute biceps and crazy tattoos, and my mind would whisper to itsel, "this won't happen in Naija!" In the BPTC programme, students appear in various colours of suits and shirts.

Back to Firdaus Amasa, her defiance was clearly premeditated and designed for a veiled mischief. On the said day of her Call, after rudely standing against the traditional dress code, she was invited to the Benchers Room behind the stage at the International Conference Centre to meet with a Life Bencher and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Alfa Belgore (himself a STRICT Muslim/Ilorin elder) who told her to remove the veil and join her colleagues in the hall. She refused.

The Secretary of the Body of Benchers (a devout Muslim woman), Mrs Turaki, also joined in instructing her to do the needful. She refused again. Incidentally, Statutorily, the Body of Benchers Secretary is vested with the responsibility to ensure that Rules, Regulations and Procedures of the Body are adhered to according to stipulated law.

In the end, by opting for the legal profession in Nigeria and by agreeing to come to the Law School and accepting to sign all the forms with attendant jurats, one has unambiguously concur to abide by the Rules, Regulations and Procedures of the Council of Legal Education and Body of Benchers. The whole gist points out to one thing: Volenti non fit injuria, put in other words, CONSENT! Therefore, no Firdaus Amasa, her instigators and supporters are potent enough to alter this time hallowed procedure deeply steeped in tradition and conservatism.

I bet that the conservative nature of the Benchers may lead them to applying more sanctions against the lady for even claiming she acted on purpose.

As a country, the challenges we face are real and deep. We can only surmount them if we concentrate on things that unite us rather on such things as the menace of sentimentalism that seek to further divide us.

Yours In Service,

Franc Fagah Utoo, Esq. LQC (Malaysia); LL.B Hons (Newcastle, UK ); BL (Abuja)
*Former President of the Students Representative Council (SRC), Nigerian Law School, Abuja.

Yet Priscilla taught Apollos the word of God and she was acknowledged as a minister by Paul.

I wonder when Paul's advice to a particular church who had lousy women at that time became an advice to every church.

Some are really roaming.

What did acts 2:7 says? Read below

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Funny enough it's Islam that forbid formal education for women, so I wonder what she's doing in law school in the first place.

Keep having conversations with yourself. Your sanity was damaged by the heavy hemp smoke you were forced to inhale as a kid.

Just turn yourself into Yaba Left. Maybe a portion of the malfunctioning computer you call brain can still be recovered.

Tribalistic vermin.

wirinet:
Are you sane at all? You sound like someone suffering from psychosis. I am from the Niger Delta, oil producing community at that, so I know the exactly what I am talking about.

If you have more than the 10 Mb free data, you should have been able to Google " cost of micro or small refinery " and you would have learnt that small refineries start at a few tens of millions of dollars.

If refineries were that easy to set up, you think numerous wealthy enterprenuers in the nigerdelta would wait for you to advice them on how to set up refineries.

hijab , an inconspicuous clothing item worn by millions of nigerian women in domestic, industrial, corporate environments, draws Vivire's attention

i wonder why

Ihatepork:

Yes, his projects are usually of top quality as evident in the schools he built. And I think that has to do with the fact that he's an accomplished engineer. Recently, I was telling someone that no Nigerian governor since 99 bar Fashola has delivered more infrastructural projects than Aregbesola.

Okoyeeboz:
Aloma Mukhtar was an Alhaja and Chief Justice of Nigeria. She used headscarves and not hijabs.

There are tons of Muslim female judges in the judiciary that don't use hijabs, it doesn't make them less pious than this young lady.

This is the legal profession and it's a noble one. It's not for unintelligent farmers, pepper sellers and touts to make emotional but dumb statements on human rights. When the Law School was having the compulsory dinners, why didn't she wear the hijab?

Allah stands for honesty, truth, justice and faith. He won't support this brand of foolishness being displayed by these clowns supporting the aborted lawyer.

sorry buddy, you can't change history. Christianity is synonymous to slavery. Don't safe it from it.

You can argue all day but look at the attachments. The petition has gone viral sound the world top sit up you Christians on hijab. I just signed. So sign yours.

European gave you Christianity but then rendered your Christian faith useless by taking out religion out of private life. That's the attempt you slaves are trying on Muslims in nigeria and it is not gonna work.

Can you help me out by signing this petition?

Empiree:
you have answered everything in your own post. Nothing else to add. However, i should point out that you first appeared to "not defending christianity but this post of yours raised red flag. On slave masters, upon typing the phrase, it linked christianity straight up without even opening them yet. The least you can say it they aren't christians of Paul but still does not vindicate christianity. Slave masters used the Bible one way or another to enslave africans. Thats the point.

wirinet:

I am sorry to say but you are speaking from a position of gross ignorance. You have no idea of what a micro refinery is. You think what what the people you called entrepreneurs do is actually refining, no. What they do is called cooking. They steal crude and cook it in drums. Most of the lighter hydrocarbons and heavier condensates are discarded, thereby polluting the environment, the cooking produces mainly impure diesel and kerosene and very little petrol. Now how do you license that?

Small micro refineries cost millions of dollars, and that is not even putting into consideration cost of licences, land, running costs and cost of raw materials - crude. It was refinery business that killed a brother in law, he invested millions of dollars in trying to set up a small refinery, at the end of the day, he died of a heart attack.

Caseless:


Rule 36 (a) of the Rules of Professional Conduct in the Legal Profession Revised (2007) expressly decries the "wearing of apparel and ornament" that draws attention to a legal practitioner appearing before a judge, the hijab does not in anyway fall into such apparel ornament that can be decried upon, because it is a constitutional right that no bye-law can suppress on a permanent basis.

Again, can a judgement in respect to an organization she's yet to be part of affect her?

This is a blanket judgement.

Empiree:
You preaching to me?. I will not let you vindicate christianity.You can come up with all types of excuses. Their footprints are on Africa.

I dont deny that there were Atheists amongst them. What is widely known macro wise is white christians are slave masters backed by their Bible, period. @underlined, it is the same way you non-muslims see anyone who shout "Allahu Akbar" and then blow up something, you quickly tag him a muslim. What goes around comes around. Deal With It

Now you are talking. Hence, Nigeria can not be more secular than them. Any attempt by any nigerian christian to discriminate against muslim women who chose to wear hijab, is a violation of the nigerian constitution. If Nigerian officials are sworn in on Quran and Bible, who the hell has the nerve to criticize hijab?

I don't dispute this. For instance airport etc. But not Bar for crying out loud.I have posted picture of a muslim Judge in New York

Tell this to your fellow believers. Better still, go to America and tell them that "rights" aren't absolute. They will give you middle finger You know what that means, dont you?

What can be more risky than 9/11?. Hijab survived

Their ban is not absolute either. They are having internal struggles with the ban from opposition parties.

As i have said before, all you have to do is board a plane to NY and remove hijab from a woman on the street and see what happens. In nigeria, christians still criticize hijabi on the street and in school. On the other hand, many muslim women wear hijab in schools in new york and it is considered constitutional right, just as much as the right to own guns

oyb:


you were saying?

you lot are just rubes who have not seen anything beyond the confines of whatever village you live in
pathetic, backward miseducated village cretins
sad

Empiree:
Lol, Atheists?. Too late to come up with that crap. Atheists yet they handed us christianity?. You are incredible. Fact that you as some point agreed that wig is to christianity, hence, the implication is they forced muslim too to embrace christian headrag. Again, i dont doubt it is about money. But if you wanna know constitutional rights are involved, all you have to do is take off muslim woman's hijab on the street of the street of New York and see what happens. Your ass will be locked up. Besides, don't you see where it says about discriminations?

Empiree:
my point is communicated. Wig used by nigerian lawyer was introduced by the colonial masters, and colonial masters are christians. Hence, wig is euphemism to christianity. For subway, you are just correct which suggests that it is still about constitutional right. Now your point is?

kihi23:
I do like my home but am thinking of relocating to the south

Empiree:
Makkah ad in new York city subway are you more secularized than America?. You need to remove hate from your heart.

Empiree:
This is niqa (fave veil) currently being advertised by new York authority in theIr subway platform. Who the hell is Nigeria?
