It was gathered that students and teachers who resumed for classes were denied entrance into the school premises this morning as protesting Christian teachers and management staff displayed different placards to express their displeasure over the government’s decision.It was further learnt that there was chaos at Baptist School, Surulere over the issue before the Police had to be invited to calm the tension.
School is not religious centre
By seeing this matter Muslim people must be terrible by this law due to our religion have commend females to wear veil where ever they are
The meaning of Nigeria is ‘SHAME’
Please take things easy, you don't have to debate on this, putting on hijab is never a crime to any religion since the two religion talk's about covering and decent dressing for women, who wants to put on hijab and for the one that wants to expose their body are free to do so
Religion according to Karl Marx is the opium of the people. Both religious has this kind of antecedents in Nigeria but I will say it again as a student of history that Islam has relationship with violence. When we realized this then we can separate the shafts from the wheats.
What gives the school the audacity to deny citizens of the state from dressing within the law in a PUBLIC school. This is not a private school in question. Abive all, there are court orders regarding the case. How will a child's covering harm others?
Some years back bayero university kano wanted to enforce Christians student to be dressing in accordance with the northern way but Jega (fmr Inec boss) as VC said that can't be possible this is federal school any one can dress the way they want as far as they are it naked.sameTIL
What is big deal if Muslims want to put hijab and Christians if they want to be naked let them, this is a free world , we should be civilized, Muslims have the right to follow the dictate of their religion. If hijab is bad why sisters in church are you using something similar to
Vikee_mngtteam Muslims should be allowed to wear hijabs in government run schools. Why is this controversial?
shey na sch go set up rules and regulations ni or na student 😂 if you can’t abide by a rule of an institution then withdraw
Be like mother Mary and use hijabs !
Foolish religious leaders without brains. Why would you allow a non believer to teach your children anyway. Why wear hijab to a catholic school? You like catholic schools but hate Christians? Hypocrisy!
There is no common sense there. Muslims should attend Islamic schools
Why in reality nigerian Christians are more religiously intolerance than those in other part of the world.😭😭😭
If I were the state governor, I ll close the defiant school for 6years.
Why Christians are doing this? The hijab is meant for muslims only not for Christians. And if you say Muslims will not wear hijab, so what about Christians who go to public schools in muslim dominated society, where they don't wear Hijab and it goes contrary to the society?
It's a storm in teacup, everyone will be sensible and cultivate mutual respect for the others especially in government funded schools.
Ah!...I thought that everyone has right to his/her belief
'This path to mutual respect, understanding and peace with regards to hijab had long been adopted in northern Nigeria and many states in the Southwest such as Lagos, Osun, Ekiti and Oyo States' ✔️✔️✔️👌🏽 Those protesting LACK mutual respect!
Religion and governance MUST be kept completely separated.
Other schools around the world are celebrating victory of there talented creative kids. But our bigot and irresponsible people are busy fighting themselves over hijab. Wiring hijab or not, education goes to brain not to piece of cloth.
Is the hijab mandatory for all the students to wear?
Common sense dictates that if you wanna wear your hijab you go to an Islamic or public school! You don’t wear hijab in a catholic school
