This first one is EPIC! LOL
They said “take off your hijab”
She said “Girls not hot” https://t.co/YyW8piWzLU— Mazi Ibe (@I_pissVodka) December 15, 2017
See more below:
She was asked to sacrifice her hijab for just few hours to become a lawyer.
But she elected to sacrifice becoming a lawyer just to keep her hijab.
She made her choice.
By agreeing to be a lawyer, she had waived certain rights, including mode of dressing.
No right is absolute.

What many don’t know is that the lady in the hijab debate was fully aware of the dress code and had made up her mind to sacrifice her seniority at the bar to force a change of the status quo. This debate has gained attention and the dress code will eventually be reviewed.

You wonder why some people prefer to delibrate on hijab issue & refuse to talk about #EndSARS?
Religion is one of the CHAINS used by colonial masters to enslaved us.
They gave us religion & went with our sense of reasoning!
Thanks to those fighting to be free INDIVIDUALLY!

There’s one point anti-Hijab twitter are making that’s very valid for me, and I think some Muslims need to do better in tolerating “other sects” in Islam, some Muslims who supported the murder of hundreds of Shiites now mentioning constitution when the issue of hijab came up.

Always obey the rules. will a female muslim surgeon conduct a surgery with Hijab on. letS think. ??#OBEY

That the daughter of an Imam or a Muslim president is not putting on her Hijab does not mean that it is okay. And this also does not downgrade the effort of the daughter of a commoner who wants to put on her Hijab. The obligation to put on Hijab is binding on both of them.

Seeing these tweets on this Hijab situation. I realized that most people just have a problem with Muslims. Not just the Hijab.

Let’s watch how you Hijab & Non-Hijab wearers overturn that unjust rule now that you have been called to Bar, since you feel so strongly that that woman should have “waited until after call to protest” and was “foolish for doing it before she received her certificate."

Nigeria is the only country in the world whose citizens would rather die for their religion than seek quality life/good governance from their leaders.
Buhari is feeding fat on your ignorance, you are ranting/fighting over Hijab you are not allowed to wear. Una go wake up one day!— Jackson Ude (@jacksonpbn) December 16, 2017
The girl that insisted on wearing her hijab during her call to the Nigerian bar was being childish and disingenious. U cannot insist on wearing religious garb during a secular ceremony and she is not the first Muslim to be called to the Nigerian bar. Nigeria is a secular state!

My Daughter Zubaida Mahmoud at the ceremony admitting her to the New York Bar earlier this year…the controversy here on Hijab is needless. pic.twitter.com/adgWlTGSGC

I have no opinion on the hijab issue.
My only contribution is that Nigerian lawyers should get rid of those silly 18th Century vintage pantomime wigs.
I mean, the temperature in Lagos is like 30 degrees Celsius and we are bothered about some silly colonial relic.

My 2 cents on this Hijab issue . And all of you got legitimate points whichever side you pick . But neither of us is right or wrong , here is why .
— Deacon ‘Dolapo (@dollycent) December 16, 2017
The most stupid points of all arguments on this Hijab issue come from the “And Yes, I am a Muslim” gang. We know you’re a Muslim, we also know you Head is empty, you don’t know anything about your religion.

You jumped on my tweet about Hijab and abused me, my hometown (Ibadan) and religion. This morning, you are begging me to RT your tweet to win 20k….Retweeted but learn, you need more friends than enemies

Good morning all. Pls if anyone knows Abdulsalaam Firdausa that was not called to bar on 13th December 2017 having qualified but for her not removing her hijab was disqualified,pls let her call: 08168292549.Waiting please! Thanks. Hameed Ajibola Jimoh Esq.- human rights advocate

Wow my understanding was that we have more Islamic fundamentalists in Nigeria than any other religion but the comments I have read on the young lady, hijab and Nigerian law school show we have as many Christian fundamentalists as we have Muslims.

You remove hijab to give head and during sex but you can not remove hijab to swear oath in law school to become a certified lawyer.
My sister, you are under a spell, your village people have won.

This Hijab controversy provides a perfect cover for so many Nigerians to spew out their deep resentments for Islam/Muslims without any backlash. And for half-baked "feminists" to paint the situation as gender bias.
— Kelvin Odanz (@KelvinOdanz) December 15, 2017
So if this girl wins now and they start allowing hijabs and head coverings at the NLS and call to bar. You people will comman be shining teeth with us after all the trash you've said???
Especially you Muslim "why didn't she just remove her hijab" tweeps.?????— Kunke❤ (@Ade__Toun) December 15, 2017
Now to the second part of the argument. Religion and Law do not mix and it’s for a reason . As a Christian I won’t think a judge with Hijab would give a fair hearing if I have a case with a Muslim. And vice verse. If the judge is wearing a crucifix , a Muslim would feel same

I think Amasa Firdaus should have been called to the bar with her hijab. We are experts at focusing on the wrong things. The problems of the legal profession are declining quality, slave wages for new entrants and corruption at the bench. Not hijabs worn discretely under a wig.

To our Muslim parents teach your daughters the importance of Hijab right from their tender age; the importance of covering their body and protecting their chastity! May Allah bless you as you do….!

I didn't want to talk about this hijab issue of a thing.
Was she the only muslim there?
Do you know, you can't take int. passport with hijab? So if she has int. passport let us see..
If you can take Int. Passport without hijab.
Why can't you be called to bar w/out it. pic.twitter.com/64EEK8CoOj— KING TÌMÓRÌ ? (@Iam_TiMoRi) December 15, 2017
To that young lady that wore a hijab to her call to bar & was rejected. How can we ever count on you to obey the law when you are empowered to practice if you can't obey it now. There is a process if you want to amend the law.
Surely you know that..

This is the dress code on every law school website and my colleague at equity decided to wear hijab for her call ceremony. Who's to blame now please? Let's leave sentiments aside and be reasonable. pic.twitter.com/CYfOrWzA5A
