A Muslim lady was denied being called to the Nigerian bar for wearing a Hijab!
Here’s what fellow lawyer @savvy_ruqqy wrote;
Quote
Good morning everyone,
I want to use this medium to express my dissatisfaction with the way muslims are treated in this my profession called ‘LAW’. A sister wasn’t called to the bar because she was dressed like that (Picture above) please for God sake what is wrong with that picture? Because she was putting on a small hijab tucked into her collarette, WHY?
What has Hijab done to them?
Where is our freedom of Religion as stated in the constitution?
We need justice…For those that don’t know, Hijab is a MANDATORY part of my religion not just a piece of clothing, so if my freedom of religion is said to have been guaranteed in section 38 of the constitution of my country that is said to be supreme and have have binding force over all as seen in section 1 of this same constitution and Section 42 of this same constitution guarantees my right to freedom from discrimination, please for God sake what is this then and before you come here attack me, please read section 38 (1) and section 1 (1) first and also go ahead to read S1 (3) of this same constitution with an unbiased mind where it is said that if any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this constitution this constitution shall prevail…B’iko what are we now talking about?
Please we want justice.
We want our hijab
we want #JusticeForFirdaus
We want to wear our hijabs for call to bar
we want to wear it in the court room.
Stop the discrimination
We are muslims not terrorists
Hijab is Mandatory
We want Justice for Firdaus

You have not been call to bar you are already  braking the law.
You should have known the rules of the profession before going for it.
Hijab is a different law of it own operated by a different people/religion.
Better still you can change your profession by going for another degree

Since there is freedom of religion and dressing to the Bar, i can simply go and read law then wear my village masquerade dressing to the court room because the constitution allows freedom of religion. You knew very well that you were wrong that is why in your statement you  already started warning people not to blast you with their comments. You can go and  Grin form a terrorist group to make your claim. Mugu.
