Following a series of suicide bombings by hijab-wearing Boko Haram militants, President Muhammadu Buhari said on Thursday that he would consider banning the Muslim apparel. His concerns, it would appear, are more about security than the religious implications.
Hijab, worn by Muslim women to conceal some attractive parts of their anatomy, has been a symbol of tussle between Muslims and non-Muslims in secular schools in the south-west, and Buhari’s statement appears to have touched a raw nerve yet again in a country where religious matters elicit the most sentiments.
Chad, a Muslim-majority country, banned hijab when suicide bombers started launching attacks wearing it, but there was no opposition from the Muslim leaders who were also more worried about security than religious obligations. But Chad does not have a history of religious acrimony, unlike Nigeria.

Nigerians should not single out a religious group for stereotyping. We didn’t ban the tricycle, army uniform, police uniform because they are also used by the terrorist. Neither did we close down schools because terrorists said western education is prohibited nor did we close down Federal Government schools because the Chibok were kidnapped from there! Hijab is the Muslim women’s right just as education is the right of every citizen of this country. You do not cut off your head because it is aching you, you seek for solution. Gather intelligence, use bomb detectors, install CCTV, flush the terrorists out of their hideout. May God be the strength of our Soldiers and guide PMB administration
Excellent!
Banning of hijab in this country will rather than solve Boko Haram terrorism aggavate it.Hijab is a symbol of Islam it is a negation of right to worship it contradicts the command of Allah as enshrined in Al-Islam.Banning it is indirectly banning Islam in Nigeria and the attempt no diubt will be stoically and vehemently resisted by the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and beyond.
If Boko Haram attacks have been an embarrassment to most Nigerian Muslims proscribing the use of Hijab is like giving tonic to the Boko Haram evil.The whole idea is to destabilise this government the more because religious tension may erupt. The issue is very volatile and the government should seek God’s wisdom to do what is right.
I think d banning of Hijab due to the insecurity in the country will not really affect the situation as people are thinking it could. Any muslim is judge according to their intentions be it you wear Hijab or not. So securing our nation to live peacefully without no fear will be the price (if the need be)we will have to pay and accept the banning of Hijab upto when this bad people are flushed out of our nation.
Your comment..Banning hijab does not solve any thing but can even had more, hijab is Muslim women pride and even the commandment from Allah. So why should the government deny Muslims from their Right? Again do the government know the aims of boko haram, if the banning of hijab will makes them to achieve part of it, so therefore government should look for other strategy, because we Muslim can not be working in naked.
The. Hijab is the right to our Muslims women and if terorist group impersonated it during their attacks that should not amount of banning it in our dear country because, when such a kind of thing happend to our militry and police uniforms no body even start saying such thing, until now on Hijab! But, the idea is somany people doesnt like seeing our dear respectful women on Hijabs hence, that should be an issue to us, but banning Hijab is not the solution to our current insecurity problems if we are to be realistic and sincere to our selves! Let them come out and tell us their real intentions about Islam not Hijab! But Allah will never allow them to succeed their negative intentions on us! May Allah see us throgh and bring elasting solution to this and give the wisdoms to PMB in fitching out the sponsors of this Boko Haram and the rest!
Thank you!
may Allah guide you to the right path, please can you technically explain how banning hijab can help in fighting terrorrsm? keep religion aside and think like a pundit security agent for a while
Perfect,u don’t cut off your head when it is aching you. If you think it will solve the problem and fails? Then you av rebel against Allah
well said
eloquently written May Allah reward you with good
Yeah! good though, mansha allah
ban the use of hijab is against the commandments of ALLAH in the holy quran.and it can solve the problems of the non muslim bokoboko haram.all we need is to beg ALLAH in nigeria,because this is as result of our selfishness, sin,aterred,blood sharing,money ritual,stealing and no GOD fearing in our country,bad people, bad leaders.may ALLAHU help in all situation amin.lastly let follow the commandments of ALLAHU, my wife is a full hijab sister and I follow the sunnah of prophet muamhmed .my line 08025467313,08035498554.name alfa ibrahim ayanlasolat.jasakumlahi koiram.
Your comment..Don’t ban hijab in Nigeria
Your comment..BANNING OF HIJAB , NIQAB OR PURDAH VEIL IS TANTAMOUNT TO SEEKING THE WRATH OF ALLAH. MY DEAR PRESIDENT DO NOT ALLOW THE ENEMIES OF GOD TO PUT IN EVERLASTING FITNAH
Banning Hijab will creat more problems because it is divine and fundamental right of muslims. Hence Muslims will not obey any government that will oppose their religion
You are very correct, it’s amount to no solution but will create more.
The banning of ihijab will amount to given the enemy if Islam the joy of victory and declear biko haram and it’s allied winner if the war.
Banning hijab would not solve the problem. Boko haram and the likes are very good at terrorising people and the strategies they use in doing that. So if the wearing of Hijab is banned, don’t you think they can start dressing like CHRISTIAN NUNS which is kind of similar to the ways Muslims dress to execute their ways of terrorising?
If we are to ban hijab, then we will ban the army uniform, ban the motorcycle and other items that is been used by the Boko Haram
Other Middle East countries are been afflited by Terrorist and they never ban hijab…
Find another way out, hijab is not just a mere human commandment, but its been ordained by God, the Lord of the worlds
I like this post of yours
If we are to ban hijab, then we will ban the army uniform, ban the motorcycle and other items that is been used by the Boko Haram
Other Middle East countries are been afflited by Terrorist and they never ban hijab…
Find another way out, hijab is not just a mere human commandment, but its been ordained by God, the Lord of the worlds
You have spoken well hijab is ordained by God Almighty it’s beyond human capacity or imagination don’t step on the boundary of Allah remember He has power over everything and He can do anything in which no body can query Him. Our Mr president alot of things has to be banned for use such as the federal roads that claims lives of innocent nigerians ; nigeria policemen that takes & kills people because of bribe to mention but few
Banning The Hijab can & will never be the solution for the masacre caused by the Boko-Harams.. just like how beheading the neck can & will never be the Remedy to Headache.. The Government shd find a more suitable way to tackle this disaster Rather than banning wah The Creator has made Lawful to his Creations..!!
PMB Is in right direction to emancipate nig.hence d enemies of d country within and outside are looking for ways to truncate his plans. banning hijab is one of the means as biafra move is dying. so i belief he Will not try but restrict only to verbal statement. We may ban. it as he put it. With all the monsters of problems facings d nation is that the next step to do. is like putting faeces inside delicious food. It will b rejected. ie all other achievement s will b forgotten and failure will b exposed . celebrated and rejected
Your comment..Banning Hijab will only create problems in Nigeria, anarchy and the likes. PMB should not try it.
Your comment..Banning Hijab will only create problems in Nigeria, anarchy and the likes. PMB should not try it. However we don’t need to vote because law of Allah is not contestable. Let 170millions vote against it, it does not matter.
” ban restricted to only verbal statement ” this is one sentence dat centers on diplomacy which Muslims can explore.. when Prophet Muhammad denounced being the Prophet of Allah, it was a verbal statement, a statement that eventually lead to the spread of Islam. I will rather implore fed govt to be careful with choice of words to use. The word ‘Ban’ triggers headache. Hijab is Allah-given right, the world population ( both Jinn and mankind) cannot vote against it, so y the poll. Allah bless my country Nigeria, Allah Bless PMB… he needs our prayer more now…
Hijab should not be ban. It is our right as muslims. Banning it won’t solve any problems but cause more. Mr. President should look for other ways of solving it.
banning The Hijab ain’t the solution for the Masacre caused by Boko-Harams,. Just like Beheading of the Neck can & Never be the Solution for Headache.. Government shd find a suitable solution Rathern than enforcing a Law that’s against ISLAM practices..!!
We are a crossroad and the govt. needs not create a bigger problem to people of a particular faith. Collectively we have agreed severally that BH doesn’t represent any religious party in Nigeria, as such banning Hijab is backsliding and attack collectively symbol of identification and unity.
No, this would not solve the issue at hand. Rather the underlying causal factors of the unrest and agitations should be thoroughly investigated and addressed. Clearly, the Boko Haram issue goes beyond religion and has been hijacked for political reasons. My thoughts
Banning Hijab will only add to the problem, you can’t create peace but disobeying the AUTHOR of PEACE.
The govt is at the cross road and need to tread with caution to avoid creating a bigger problem, thereby display a direct disapproval and ridicule of a symbol of faith. we have collectively agreed that BH does not represent a particular religious faith, it is indeed an enemy to all. Banning Hijab is wrong step!
Banning Hijab will only add to the problem of Nigeria, you can’t create peace by disobeying the AUTHOR of PEACE
Is banning of hijab d best solution of course it’s not and dis should b d least of our problems chibok girls employment opportunities etc if hijab should b banned that means Nigeria is calling for word war 3 I want to urge d president to put other affairs in consideration find means of eradicating this evil doers because we Muslim are not suicide bomber
Banning of hijab is not the solution, government should wake up from their laziness, sleeping and do what is right. This will cause more problem.
Banning Hijab, is not the solution to combat the insurgency in the North East, rather the Federal Government led by Muhammad Buhari should intensify efforts and act on so many revealed evidence and report made available against the group. In the interest of Nigeria and its people, our president should never try to deny the Muslim woman their constitutional guaranteed right.
Barning hijab against freedom of religion & rights. And may lead to life unrest. Fg should never try it
I’ve started thinking that PMB is an Anti Islamic Agent (just a thought, right)
A former Army General?
A man that almost 80% Nigeria believe in?
No! That statement is just too harsh.
Allah (SWT), the Lord of the Universe decreed wearing of Hijab on every Muslim woman and you (just) a president of a country wants to consider the ban of wearing Hijab?
Subhanallah.
Banning Hijab isn’t the solution in solving Boko Haram attacks, yet you will give them opportunity to be happy because they have succeeded in destroying Islam.. Banning Hijab is just like prohibiting the females from not wearing their clothing’s.. How will the President feel when he sees females naked.. Hijab is one of the dressing of every Muslim females and by you banning it will only attract the wrath of Allah because Hijab is Farid ‘ayn (obligatory) on every Muslimah.. I suggest the President should give it more thought on this before making a big mistake.. And also if he decides to ban Hijab he should also ban all other religious wears and he should tell us the clothes we should all wear.. For crying out loud He doesn’t have the right to stop or change the law made by Allah Almighty.. Just remember that when you ban the Hijab, the punishment for all those that stopped wearing it will be on your head.. And remember you are a Muslim and you will be questioned regarding this issue.. “What will you say?!” Is it better for the females to be naked or to find another way to stop this.. I pray Almighty Allah guide the President in making the right choice.. Aameen.. Islam is a religion of Peace!!
NO, banning of hijab is not the solution to the boko haram problem, there are various means at which people use in bombing aside the hijab which are cars, bags etc, y can’t you consider banning the use of cark:s first and bags. The hijab is the Muslims identity that was commanded to us by our divine being, Allah. So the federal government shouldn’t go near that at all if they don’t want to incure Allah’s wrath on themselves. Cutting of the head is not the solution to headache as banning of hijab is not the solution to evacuate boko whatever…..Let’s make use of our senses pls
firstly,media will always find an issue to distract nigerians,one of them is this Hijab ban. Also,Nigerian government seems to be hypocritical to solve this insurgency problem as they claimed to have wiped them off. Lastly,putting a ban on Hijab can never be the solution since there are affordable censors that can be developed even by Nigerian engineers through satellite communications.
Your comment.. President Muhammadu Buhari should not ban hijab cos it is part of a Muslimah dressing which Allah has ordained for us.
Banning hijab would have made the terrorist to achieve their target of wanting to make people to hate Islam ant its heritage. Do not ban hijab, cutting off the head does not remove headache
Let’s open a book titled peace and authored by God with the copyright law on it printed copies. If you photocopy that book you are bound to find no peace for you just lost your integrity, if you copy from the book and you don’t reference it, you are stealing intellectual property. The ban on hijab is just a way of fulfilling the “world order”. Nobody will follow the world order and know peace. Hijab is a sign of peace. Boko haram is just a catalyst to the west plans like ISIS is. It is everywhere where muslims are. Respect the covered.
Your comment..banning hijab will not solve d problems but cause more chaos in d society,.lets look at d effect socially nd not backin d enemies of islm’s ideas…
Ban ijab for security right? I am sure that if watever underlying issue is addressed, these so called boko haram wil stil find means of doing. Wat they do
the fact that we supported mr.president got elected and still supporting him dosnt makes it a reason to shut up when our faith is touched.banning hijab is declaring a war with almighty bcos his boundary have been crossed,and the president should’nt forget that is HE the almighty that made him emerged victorious in the election and will only give him victory to win the war against bokoharam when apply not the approach against his rules, we therefore with the strongest voice rejected the banning of hijab.
I believe PMB will look for other means of combating the BH menace.Banning hijab will create a bigger problem for the country,the situation which can be hijacked by other unscrupulous elements.
PMB should spit out that idea. He will brew more problems for Nigeria if he venture into banning of hijab. We have had enough crisis. Pls, avail us of another one. #ispeakagainstpmbonthis
Your comment..banning hijab is not a solution but rather complicate the issue.
Let the President not say what would never hold. This is religious injunction, our values and under no condition should we trade it for personal love of anyone.
I still believe the utterance was a mistake.
Banning hijab isn’t the solution…. Is just like saying we should ban men from wearing suit becos its sometimes use for deceptive crime like robbery and popular 419
banning hijab is not the utmost solution…….
Banning Hijab will mean granting victory to Book Haram and the enemies of Islam. More proactive measures should be taken to put a full stop to the Book Haram Madness. Hijab is a symbol of obedience to Allah and a constitutional right for the Muslim women.
Banning Hijab is akin to removing faeces with urine, it only aggravates the situation at hand. Mr president should look for a better approach of ending insurgency rather than listening to the barking dogs- the enemies of Islam.
Your comment..MR PRESIDENT U MUST NOT BAN D USE OF HIJAB BCOS EVERYBODY AS FREEDOM TO LIFE,SHELTER,RELIGION .I DONT SEE D REASON WHY SOME LL SB NICKED &WE DT WE WANT TO FOLLOW TOOUR OWN ISLAMIC LAW DR LL BE PROBLEM IF U BAN D USE OF HIJAB DN U LL C D CONSEQUENCE
That’s not the solution
It’s a bad solution to a Devine issue. You don’t kill a child because the midwife is ugly.
The government should not ban the use of hijab, it should be proactive in using other means which is not tantamount to the denial of people of the Islamic religion to practice their faith as ordained by their Creator. It’s an infringement on the Muslim women’s rights, backward and barbaric. Muslim women cannot afford to go back to the stone age of naked appearance
Your comment..u must nt ban d use of hijab bcos everybody has right to life, shelter, religion. it is our mode of dressing&ur culture sayyyyyy NOÒOOOOOOO NOT POSSIBLE
Do you think members of Boko Haram need to wear hijab to operate? No! Why trying to toil with idea of banning hijab in public places? If the country really needs divine intervention to win the war against indulgency, then the commandment of the Creator on hijab as mandatory to wear for female adults in the public must be upheld without hesitation.
Then he shd be thinking about banning agbada, mallam style,all long skirts, d female Catholic attire and wearing anytype of cap,hat, gele I.e head gear. Let us be sincere so that d author of will give us a way out. God bless Nigeria
We don’t ask people with diabetes not to eat simply to control their blood sugar. Knowing food is essential for life, we only look for other treatments. Similarly, we cannot ban the hijab simply because some miscreants use it for mischief , since it’s essential for muslims. Despite the higher rate of rape among women without hijab, no one has forced them to adopt it: despite the high rate of murder in the US, they are yet to prohibit private ownership of guns. Every people protect their values. The hijab must not be made to pay for boko haram’s sins.
Banning hijab will not solve the problem on ground, it will only create social verse…
Banning hijab will not cure the menace of the so called Boko Haram rather it will ensue another social vices, urging Fed govt to source for another means and also praying DAT Allah should assist d Nig Army
Banning hijab wil create more havoc,d only tin wil need is Dua nd repentance of our sins.
No it won’t solve the problem.
We should not decive ourselves nothing will happen to hijab because its command from Allah SWT so whoever want Allah to remove His hand in his affairs should try it.
Childlish play. Huuuun im just laughing. Banning of Hijab will definetly cause more harm in our society. PMB Allah will guide you. Never you try to attempt it. Hijab our Pride.
Your comment..Banning of hijab is no the solution for terrorist acts .If we ban hijab terrorists will adopt another means to carry out their evils .
No!
The Muslims can’t jeopardize their obedience to their lord for anything less. It is not right
An advice to PMB and those dt wish to hides under terrorism and islammophobia to attack, demean and fight Muslims should understand that Islam respect peeoples fundamental human right and any attempts to trample on Muslims right will be rejected forcefully. Islam is all about peace and is ready to make peace with all irespective of creeds colour nation exposures and whatever but we should also respect the sanctity of our religion. PMB should know that nothing can break this nation apart but issue of religion is always very sensitive and should be tread cautiously so as not to falls in the hands of evil machinations just as they were doing in Libya, Sudan, C A R. Enough is for the wise
Hijab ban will only help Boko haram devise another means of perpetuating their evil act. I don’t think it’s a good idea
So I went online as regard hijab banning. Chad bans the full face veil and Cameroon ban it also.in it northern parts only. So where exactly is the fg referring?/the whole of Nigeria or the affected region? Are you going to derobe us publicly or you ll ask us to reduce the length. These are questions that need reply. #use bomb detectors not ban hijab as our identity can be seen.the fg will give people authority to insult Muslim women. We have always been deprived and we won’t stay quiet
The government shouldn’t ban hijab. Muslim women shouldn’t be made scapegoats for terrorists perpetrators. The use of hijab is a decree from almighty Allah, the one who knows all things, the most wise. Allah is in charge of all affairs. When Allah decrees a matter no human has the right to go against it.
Whoever advocate that hijab should be banned because some people are using it to terrorist other are not sensitive enough in my view. Can we say that policeman be ban from carrying guns because bad elements among them kill innocent people with it. Or we ban social media and Internet because of yaoo people and fraudsters. I beg cutting of head is not the remedy for headache. Let not provoc the Muslims. Enough is enough.
Your comment.. banning hijab will not solve the issue at hand it only makes things more complicated.
I say emphatic NO to ban on HIJAB, No to ban on Modesty. We don’t want to be taken back to the stone age where people go about naked.
If we cannot ban Agbada since it can also be used to hide bombs, we cannot ban military uniform also for the same reason and we cannot ban children from going about because they are the means this evil people are using, then we cannot singled out a ban on a religious injunction of a particular people. This is very sensitive issue that need not be toiled with.
I support intelligence mean that will include using highly powerful bomb detective gadgets that will detect explosives that a far range. I support one united country that will tolerate others religious view.
Your comment..I ‘m sure PMB will never think of banning the police force or the riding of cars nor motorcycle, but all these have been employed by the terrorist group then why the hijab. Do remember that it is the Muslim women identity and it is an injunction from our supreme master(God) who has the power to wipe off the insurgency sects. PMB banging banging banning the hijab is not a solution to wipe off bokoharam don’t incurs God’s hanger BEWARE
Your comment..Hijab should not be banned. And if Buhari should ban Hijab, he is definitely calling for Allah’s rot on himself. This is because hijab is Allah’s law. He should be warned not to face Allah and turn away from the book haram.
Suicide bombers wear female cloth or they dont even wear hijab can we go naked for that reason for more security …???i think we should not criticise any ones religion
Your comment..how can banning d Muslim wear solve d issue at hand?what is our intelligence unit doing? are they not up to d task? coupled with sss & d likes.it makes no sense banning it cos d enemies will still find a way of carrying out atrocities.let our intelligence unit wake up from their slumber& do what is right .what are CCTV s,bomb detectors used for? are they all for decoration?
Your comment..hijab is our pride, the world leader had their agenda which they execute one after the other ‘take hijab away from them’ is the new slogan but in real sense of it you can not take religion away from people social life, let’s think deep i believe the statement Was force out from our dear president he can’t ban hijab because it’s not something to discuss or negotiate is our right. Other means had been used by boko haram e.g car , okada, people dress in military dresses (even other criminal) but non go viral but why hijab? Let’s do more investigation it have under tone… Anti islam bill on the way, must stand against it
Your comment..cutting off the head is not the solution to headache. don’t ban hijab.
no,this will not solve the problem rather a more sophisticated me and should be adopted in searching both males and females regardless of their age
nooo never
Your comment..PMB use your senses if u will not because bokoharam wear the police force uniform ban the police, nor because they ride cars ban the use of cars, then why the hijab. You had better don’t complicate the problem and device effective means to fight bokoharam. PMB DON’T DEAR THE BANNING OF HIJAB AND DON’T INCUR GOD’S WRATH
I wish to reiterate my position on the Ban of Hijab. We should look for a holistic approach in tackling the menace of insurance in Nigeria. Scanners, CCTV cameras nd intelligence gathering be fortified. We have witnessed were army, Police uniform is been used to perpetrate and launched havoc on innocent citizens. We say no that.
Cutting the head off because it aches will not solve the problem. Rather, a worse condition will arise. I do not believe that stripping women naked will stop these murderers from their henious acts. Security agencies should step up their game and fight this insurgency like they mean it. I have always believed that when the targets shift from the ordinary Nigerian to the highly placed, we shall see a renewed commitment to end this nonsense.
let PMB be careful as banning HIJAB is tantamount to contending THE CREATOR on HIS injunctions on HIS religion and the believers
Your comment..banning hijab is not the solution boko harm the president himself knows very well the boko haram are not Muslims. This will only cause chaos and catastrophe. No banning of hijab
I say no to banning of hijab . it will never solve the problem
Banning hijab in Nigeria is nothing more than from frying pan to fire. Am sure Nigeria can’t bear a drop of the severe torment that will befall her from Allah. Should we say internet is used by scammers and the yahoo boys, we will stop it from operating? Should we say because motorists kills, we will stop cars from plighting the road anymore? What is wrong with our thinking faculty. Mr President I pray you stay long and wish the a healthy stay as the president, go down the history lane and see what happened to generations before our who go against a part of what Allah has legislated and see the result of their disobedience. Ours won’t be the same only if we don’t go near it
It will be foolish if the president think of banning hijab, is not even ideal. Instead of traveling to middle east asuaal of our oga to meet those countries experiencing same issues here. He goes out up and down for rubbish.
Think of better ways to solve your problem buhari don’t be a coward. Former President was a Christian he never did, but rather he looked for solutions. Buhari as a Muslim y u?
It seem the govetment want to split this country rather than rebuilding it with his vetted power
Your comment..no and never.Is d instruction of our creator(Allah)
We should always be considerate on what next step to take on issues like this. If hijab is banned, this insurgent will find alternative measure to tarnish the image and beauty of Islam. I will advice to not treat situation because of the primary effects, let’s also look forward to the secondary effect of this as to how Islam will be devalued without hijab( in sha Allah it won’t happen)….
Hijab is not an Arab culture or just a mere way of dressing, hence not a borrowing culture. It’s an obligatory cum divine way of dressing upon all women in Islam. Banning it will not stop or minimise the menace of Boko Haram but rather birth another imbroglio. Government should intensify in their strategy to arrest the ugly situation. May Almighty God help the nation.
Hijab wearing is sacrosanct!
Banning Hijab is not the solution to the current Boko Haram problem. Hijab is a fundamental right of every female Muslim lady. In addition, it is ordained my the ever-living ALLAH. So, no human being can go against the order of the creator in resolving human problem. We all have to jointly think of better & appropriate solution to Boko Haram havoc/menace not banning of Hijab.
Banning of Hijab is not the solution to the current bomb blasting and terrorism act in Nigeria. Since FG can not make any move to ban military uniform and other devices which evil perpetrator are using to carry out their devils act. God bless Nigeria and our leader.
Truly there is no need to ban hijab wearing in Nigeria,doing so is helping those sponsoring the international terrorism to achieve one of their aims which is to demonize Islam and all its values including mode of dressing.
The statement of the president that he may ban the hijab wearing if yhe sucide bombings persist,is not even helping the situation as it will accentuate the incident of women suicide bombings subjecting the innocent and unfortunate women under the capitivity of the terrorists to being used as bombers by the devilish people.
The president should therefore not conteplating banning hijab wearing as it will not only be difficult to enforce but may open up another confrontation between the government the real muslims.
Ban of Hijab is not the solution to d problem on grand, Federal govt should find another means of fighting the insurgency without forbade what Allah make compulsory on all Muslim women.
If anyone assures me that cars, phones, suits, phones, and all that are used for bombing will be banned alongside hijab, no p.
But take note, as u can’t be without anything u use as a cover for whatever u deem fit as Ur nakedness, I can NEVER be without my hijab.
Your comment..banning hijab is never ever a way out. infact its an opening to bigger problems for Nigeria because hijab is a core uncompromisable thing in religion of Islam and even d Nigeria constitution recognises right to freedom of religion. never encroach d santity of Allah.
Your comment..if internet cannot be banned for being used for cyber crime by a few set of fraudsters because of its importance to people ,then hijab shouldn’t be banned for being used by a few set of devilish people because of its importance to Islam.
I don’t support the proposed ban on Hijab, it will create religious accrymony and cause discomfort in the minds of Muslims majority of whom are in South-West especially now that some Governor has approved the use of hijab in Oyo and Osun State of Nigeria.
Like seriously if #PMB wants to ban Hijab then he should ban Vehicles jeeps and the rest also
If cars, suits, normal clothings, phones and all that are used for acts of terrorism will be banned alongside hijab, we might put that upo for consideration.
But if not, it will never bring an end to terrorism.
Well, as u can’t be without anything u use as a cover for wateva u deem fit to be Ur nakedness, we Muslim females can never be without our HIJAB.
I will suggest dt the president should look for another means of tackling insurgency because banning hijab (which is used originally by Muslim faithful) would attract the differences of some honourable indigenes of this great country.
In the name of disguise under the dressing of a religion to cause trouble in the country, the government should not be part of tampering with any faith.
God bless Nigeria…
Your comment..Mr President you are totally wrong. Hijab is our entity. we can’t live without it. Please this is not mulkin soja….
Hijab should not be ban in the country because it will create religious accrymony and cause discomfort in the minds of Muslims majority of whom are in the southwestern State of Nigeria.
We don’t need to vote because it is Allah’s law, I will just use this medium to pray for our president that Allah make him firm on the right path and should not allow him to take a wrong decision. Also tell him that going against our real protector will increase our problem in this country. He should remember is comment on what happened to him at eid ground on salah day. God bless our country.
Hijab is not the cause of terrorism, so banning it cannot solve the problem. If the hijab is banned, the terrorists will simply use other tactics; meanwhile there would have been other social and religious upheavals that would have risen from the banning of the hijab. Government should rather focus on permanent solutions.
Dat wil not solve any problem rather compiling mre problem. May Allah b our guide
Banning of hijab will solve nothing but will increase terrorist disguising as a Muslim, better still hijab sister. The sister will face more challenges in schools, work places, and even their immediate environ. President buhari should reconsider
Your comment..Banning hijab is not an option.
Your comment..Allah is the one that elected you to the presidency position nd He is the one that can assist this so called BOKO HARAM.So if u try to over rule the divine INJUNCTION of that says that Women should cover their nakedness then you are writin letter to the wrath of Almighty Allah that put you in that position and He can remove you at any point in time so the best solution is to pray fervently to Allah for your adminstration to triumph against boko haram and put all possible measures in place.God bless Nigeria
it is never an option.
The decision to ban Hijab may mean that Boko Haram
has succeeded in their mission. Rather than ban Hijab,
the government can acquire bomb detective gadgets
which can detect bombs from afar. Instead of
considering how to stop the wearing of Hijab, the FG
should be thinking of how to stop Boko Haram. “If Hijab ban must be considered, then the
government has to also ban use of vehicles, hand
bags, cell phones, motocycle and suits because more
evils have been perpetuated through them. It’s totally
illogical to attach Boko Haram attacks to a dress code
or pattern. Our Hijab is a garment of honour; it is an apparel of modesty and an outfit commanded to be
worn by Allah.”
Banning the use of hijab will be counterproductive in stemming the tide of insecurity and will rather ignite more trouble for the society as no serious Muslim woman will be stripped of hijab without enforcing her right NO to hijab banning
Of course banning hijab is not d solution here, the president should just look for a better option, what has he got to say about other things used by these people like d bike, soldier uniform among others.
Our female’s right should not be denied because We Muslims are not terrorists and so,our female’s Hijab should be left to them.Perhaps,there is freedom of religion in Nigeria.Hence,no religion should be harassed or held responsible for any act of terrorism…Leave Our sisters with the Hijab and lets combat terrorism directly O ye nation called Nigeria…….
Your comment..I say no to banning of HIJAB.It is not and can never be the solution.Allah made it compulsory on all the Muslim women.Insha Allah,Allah will assist us to fight against BoKo haram,provided that the use of HIJAB still remains.
what do you mean
Banning hijab will create a big problem to our nation. Not the solution and also go against our (Deen) Almighty Allah made it compulsory to all our Muslim women. May Allah safeguard us…(AMEEN).
What a life of Injustice! What a Human being!human being forgot its background,just an ordinary Clay trying to tamper with the Commandment of Allah Swt!Banning Hijab it sound! It sound to my hearing haedachely,Why not generally think of Banning the Wearing of Clothes self because we want to get rid of Bokoharam, i think Our Presidency should also ban the wearing of Casual Clothes as well because of Course BokoHaram wore Clothes. This is just a total Irrelevance to the step in getting rid of Boko haram. Sir with due Respect sir, Don’t try it. REMEMBER THE WRATH OF ALLAH .
Hijab is a divine order by the Creator,banning it is not the solution to the insecurity problem in the country. We cannot deprive the Muslim women of their fundamental right just because some evil people are using the Hijab to perpetrate evil. It won’t solve the problem but rather create Anarchy..
May God continue to guide the Administration of PMB.
Banning hijab is tantamount to attacking the sensibilities of the muslims. Why do we leave more pressing issues and venture into things that can set the nation ablaze. Please, leave muslims alone. We don’t want CAR scenario in Nigeria. The joy of human existence is ‘live and let’s live’ Let Nigerian muslims live. Leave muslim women with their hijab. NO NO NO to ban on hijab
Your comment.. Banning of hijab is not d solution to d problem of insurgency in d country as chopping off of head is never an antidote to headache.
Hijab may be ban (buhari)
Banning the use of hijab cannot solve the problems we are facing with boko haram but a violation to the right of innocent Muslims women and disbelief to the word of Almighty Allah.
And whoever wage war against the word of Almighty Allah will FACE the consequences.
When Allah revealed (what means):
{“And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and
guard their private parts and not display their adornment except that which [ordinarily] appears thereof and to draw their head covers over their chests and not to display their adornments [i.e., beauty] except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husband’s sons, their brothers, their
brother’s sons, their sister’s sons, their women, that which their right hands possess [i.e., slaves], or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private
aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in
repentance, all of you, O believers, that youmight succeed “} [Quran, 24: 30]
they tore a part of their garments and drew it down over their heads to cover themselves.” [Al-Bukhari]
• {“And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage – there is no blame upon them for putting aside their
outer garments [but] not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.”} [Quran, 24: 60].
• {“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their
outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”}
[Quran, 33: 59]
• {“And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves (adornments) like that of the times of Jaahiliyyah (i.e., the pre-
Islamic era).”} [Quran, 33: 33].
My advice to Mr president is that he should give himself a second thought before focusing on hijab as a solution to boko haram.
Even the Christian leader before you have never take hijab as a solution to a national problems.
boko haram is a political issues,so,solve your problems politically.
banning HIJAB will not solve d problem…. is cutting off your head the solution to headache.. the FG should rather improve our security system…like better scanners and so on. believe me, there are numerous ways they can carry out there evil plan.. so banning HIJAB is out if it.
#PMBPLEASESAVEHIJAB
Mr President what happen to the innocent hijab users,if after the hijab ban,the terrorist start using another method to unleash terror on the massses.By then,FG will b a loser(for fruitless effort),innocent hijab-user will be losers(for being denied their fundamental human right for nothing) but BH will be the only gainers(by making jest of all).
We Muslims of this country did not expect that statement to be uttered by the Mr President that he may banned hijab. I want to tell him that if he want to sincere to himself and people of this country, he should firstly ban the wearing of karki and other uniform of the army because is the same thing the so called insurgency do wear for their operation and police uniform should be banned too because armed robbers usually wear it. We can not allow any govt to stop us from what God the Creator command us to do. Ban of hijab in this country will be like ban of Islam and this is a great war against th
e Muslims. As Mr President is so much concerns about the security of this country we appreciate him for that and telling him that we Muslims of this country so cherish our religion that we can not negotiate it with anything and we ready to support him in any reasonable ways to curb insurgency in this country.
Hmmmm……one question pls: what if this proposed ban quells dis boko haram threat to a large extent, would it still be considered as an assault on religion? Those that died as a result of BH have d right to live, and d government has d responsibility to protect its citizens, even though sometimes policies could infringe on citizens’ rights.
Banning of hijab will not solve the problem but rather create more problems for Nigeria because is a commandment from our creator.
Your comment..Great men think alike. Baba pls STOP THIS MOTION. The real Moslems are very peaceful. BH IS NOT ISLAM. Don’t u think d Boko Haram too will just simply ban it too and restrategise?
Why is the president trying to hard to get the people’s favour while incurring the wrath of Allah on himself. This is no mere Fashion or cultural statement. It is what Islam stands for, modesty. Somebody should kindly tell him this is a ticket to more problems for the country. It is tantamount to fighting ringworm when you have a bigger disease like leprosy to deal with. The president should not turn muslims to the play thing of the society. We shouldn’t be bullied because of this. With or without the the hijab Boko Haram has always had a way. Therefore the bone of contention should be how to stop the insurgency totally rather than this. In as much as the army uniform stays, and the internet has not been shut down for cybercrimes or as an aid for enhancing terrorism then the ban on hijab can never be a solution to Nigeria’s problem. May Allah swt rescue the world from the enemies of Islam.
Mr President, may Allah save you from His wrath. think twice! He gave you the grace to attain this position after many trails and paying Him back is disobeying Him. this problem CAN NEVER GO UNDER BY DISOBEYING ALLAH. its only going to get compounded
The questuon is tha, when insurgent are using bag,car,Military uniform to bormeb doesS. Fed
Your comment..PMB should be aware of satanic tricks, as this decision is going against d wish of d Creator of all creatures. He should not invite God’s wrath on himself
#ISBANNINGHIJABTHEANSWER?
I concur with Mr. President that banning Hijab is not the solution. But I further ask, did banning #Motorcycle ever solve the problem? If it does not, as surely it didn’t. Then, the solution lies in banning #INJUSTICE and #CORRUPTION in all strata. In addition, more vigilant and intelligent security apparatus is another option and of course, well motivated security personnel. Let us not forget that, protection of #Hijab is as important to any Muslim woman as protection of her feminity. I personally do not see banning #Hijab as an option in tackling insurgency. But how do you see? Let us proffer more viable and veritable solutions to our problems.
Ban the hijab and give the terrorists the gift of a new recruitment propaganda tool, something they’re fast running out of.
Its not ideal to say Hijab use will be banned in Nigeria. this is against the teaching of Islam for a woman matured, is not permitted to go out without covering her body. Even in the Qur’an, it tell d Prophet of Islam dat he should tell his wives, children and wives of believers to cover there body when they are going out. so if the President should banned the use of Hijab, does that not violate the sayings of the Qur’an? Please let’s respect each others religion.
Banning of hijab is not the solution. We need to come together and join the fight against terrorism
Banned of hijab will not solved the book haram terrorism
Banning is not and can never be an option to defeat boko haram. The military should deploy necessary intelligence to clear the remnants of insurgency. Any attempt to ban hijab will create more problems for the government.
Surah Al-Fil in the Holy Quran is enough for them, will they not reason.
Banning Hijabs will never solve Boko Haram. But, if the government is considering banning Hijabs, other items usually used by suicide bombers have to such as motor bikes, cars including sun’s, army, police & paramilitary uniforms must be banned as well. Catholic nuns should also not be excluded. PMB should do away with ill advises capable of truncating his change efforts. He should think of how to protect both Muslims & Christians & Nigerians in general. Don’t attack Muslims many of whom were instrumental(including those wearing Hijabs) to your emergence as President. Intelligence gathering is key.
Let us reason together,this boko haram bomb mosque, market etc. Lookat population in yobe, maidugur, bauchi, adamawa, kano,95% muslim, killing Muslim burning mosque, we are being affected. Banning hijab is not the solution, when maitasine started in the early 80’s the intelligence showed that some powerful western nation are behind it, as the head was captured we did not hear anything again, how many CCTV camera do we have, unemployed youth are there,employ them as intelligence, train them.so with this advice you will get the boko-haram sponsor
To stop the use of HIJAB wouldn’t solve any problem rather creating more……they would look for another strategy of their evil acts
Oh, PMB watch your back, enemy are within, Nigeria is so sensitive.
Islaam is peace embrace it don’t say peace out to Islaam
In my book, banning wearing of hijab will solve no any problem. Because bomb can be carried along even inside inner wears. Moreover, most of the ravaging boko haram attacks are perpetuated by men boko haram members. The thing that will only solve the problem is thorough searching of everyone entering any public or private gathering be it a Muslim or a Christian. innumerable number of Christian women were caught with bombs in different parts of the insurgency areas. So I do not succumb to wearing of hijab.
My hijab is my pride.
Your comment..NO, hijab is not d problem but we need to improve on our intelligence. Dis bombers are using many means their evil plots.
Honestly, I think PMB should review his idea regarding the wearing of Hijab. This issue need to be looked into closely before passing any judgment. I have full faith in Mr. Buhari’s Administration and may Allah help him towards all his good efforts… Amin
Your comment..Mr president, barning of hija would not solve book haram problem rather esclate another religiou problem, federal Government should concentrate new method of security through the use of bombe detective and screening in any public gathering .
Well. I am sure this will be another Platform for Boko Haram, will use to create problem between Ahlulsunna, ahlul tijjania, and other ISLAMIC SECTS. To create confusion in the country. If one could remember the adoption of chibo girls is to create confusion between Christian and Muslims. Now that issue of HIJAB is on it will be fully harness by BOKO HARAM, so the policy makers should do it with caution. My suggestion is that HIJAB is various types and sizes the policy makers should think towards that, to avoid stepping on another toes. And we don’t know what Shi’a are planning, in their case the HIJAB could also be used by them. May Allah subhanahu wata Alla make our country NIGERIA to in peace. Amin
Every time we hear of how Boko Haram agents disguise themselves in hijab killing our fellow Nigerians, it saddens many us in other parts of the country. It’s very painful. It hurts even more that some of you will be citing religious grounds to disprove what is intended to help in saving lives. Banning hijab won’t be permanent. It has to be for a short period in order to curtain this bad elements. Desperate situation, they say, calls for desperate measure. But if you choose to wear the hijab while they kill you over there, go ahead and even wrap the whole of your body. Religion has made many Nigerians thoughtless. Very sad!
pmb is a man we respect, he is bigger than that state and I hope he realise the mistake and apologise to Muslims in general.
Why do we always have to pick whether or not when it comes to Islam? You say we all have freedom of association but you prevent the muslims from practicing our religion, such a high level of hypocrisy. Why don’t you search for the root causes of the insurgents and stop creating conflicts under the name of Islam.
Banning hijab is not the best way of tackling insurgency in Nigeria. May be the president should find other way of tackling it. Because this will only stain Islam religion and its an indirect way of stopping the Muslim from there right to worship there God(Allah,S.W.T). So i will advice the president not to just think of it.
PMB never try it.all western power can not avert you the wrath of your Lord, should you dare him
Your comment.. Capital NO to ban on Hijab. It opposes the natural law of Allah.
it will only cause problem if hijab is banned i am against it
Where is the freedom of religion in Nigeria
constitution if PMB ban Hijab? And banning of Hijab
by FG is a great victory for Boko Haram, because that
is their major target. May Allah assists us on this
anti-islamic move. #SAYNOTOHIJABBAN
Hijab Is One of the essential human rights a muslim woman should not be deprived,but if its stated to ban the use of hijab because the terrorist hide under the usage of hijab to carry out their operations, then, i should suggest that there should be ban on use of amunitions by Nigeria forces, due to the fact that boko haram sect is also using amunition to make violence in nigeria. I know this will not be done, because, amuntions is one of the essential right of nigeria forces which cannot be deprived.
DON’T DEPRIVE MUSLIM WOMEN THEIR RIGHT TO HIJAB
My major worry is what prompted the question from the journalist that put it forward to PMB?
Why should any reasonable Nigerian ask such a sensitive question knowing that it will lead to reactions from Muslims who are serious about their religion?
Only a nominal Muslim will see the issue as nothing to care about.
I am a Muslim and I am proud to be because Islam means Peace and it preaches peaceful coexistence.
Hijaab is the divine instruction from Allah to all Muslim women. The fact that some women see it as optional doesn’t mean we can play on the intelligence of those who see it as it should.
It’s painful that the enemies of Allah are hiding under the umbrella of Islam to unleash that resides in them, which is now bringing attacks to the Hijaab. The promise of Allah on His enemies will naturally occur.
In case we don’t know, let’s find out from Wikileaks. BH is a CIA making just as ISIS and the likes just to reduce the population of Muslims. If not why are these stupid and satanic groups operating in Muslim dominated parts of the world?
Let’s wake up.
Hijaab is an act of faith.
Government should work more on intelligence to improve security.
Islam is a simple religion.
Banning of hijab wont solve any problem and also it will cause alot of problem if hijab is to be banned…..so am totally against it
Banning hijab? Nope! That’s not a solution to Nigeria’s security challenges. If hijab is banned for this purpose, they(B.haram) can always resort to other techniques, deadlier ones probably. FG should rather evolve other effective measures to terminate terrorism on Nigerian soil.
Will PMB ban the army camouflage because militia and terrorists use both army and police uniforms to carry out their nefarious activities.
Out of place response to out of place question. Cameroon banned the hijab to some level, has bokoevil ceased to cause havoc in Cameroonian territories.
President Buhari should not ban the use of Hijabs just because the terrorists disguise themselves with it. We are in a testing period where we should move close to Allah instead of running far away from Him. If Hijabs are ban, that means we are challenging Allah’s command where by He ordained it compulsory for every woman to cover herself. Come to think of it, how sure are we that the banding of Hijabs isn’t part of the terrorists objectives, because from my view they are against Islam not promoting it. May Allah guide President Buhari to the right path in solving this Book Haram issues.
Your comment..yes,the coment is an excellent.because what P M B intend to do about the boko harram is not the solution
.
first of all banning of Hijab will not solve the problem of suicide bombing. Take the example of drugs, it is against the law but still people use it. banning hijab does not mean bokoharam will stop suicide bombing. Banning hijab will just ignite some problem within the county, an also a treat to national security. you don’t solve a problem by creating a problem. banning hijab is also against the constitution of Nigeria(Right to religion).
Subhanalahi! I don’t belive that statement is coming from Muhammad Buhari’s mouth! A whole muslim trying to Ban what is ordained by Almighty Allah? Huh! Now I agree that AUTHORITY used to influence people negatively! Either he ban it or Not, for attempting or thinking of doing it is a SIN! May Almighty Allah have mercy on us… This is one of the signs of Al-Asr.
Let all be mindful of our utterances towards the issue at hand(not raising unnecessary Alarm that will end up worsening the situation)As we know we been managed in the society and we are still hoping and praying to be well accepted.TO my fellow ummah I strongly plead with yu all to let’s think inward about the issue rather than spreading it this way we should kindly stay. Low,at the same tym be on alert and keep praying for the nation and the. President himself.Hijab has been in use b4 he became president its only becaos Allah. Swt has made it possible.Ijab will remain only base on our steadfastness in prayer and fasting in supporting our leader to help him overcome the many challenges he has at hand.Challenges wc isn’t only for our. Leader alone but also involve the whole Nation.Pls and pls let’s not hold on to. Wat yu think is an issue but rather pray for the nation at large that alone might be a way out.Let’s remenber that Allah alone knows wat we all conceal in our heart and with that HE will make all fall into its places wc is giving us the best.May swt cnt to Guide us all.
Your excellency sir you need to order the military and the police officer not to wear their respective uniform because Boko Haram wear the same and tell all young children not to go out of their parents compound. Mr president sir you are about to fall into the western ideology Boko Haram are catalyst for the western propaganda. Remember this hijabite voted for you pay their taxes as at when due banning hijab is like depriving them their right. Your highness the police, sss, army have the way of identifyin will g fake among them. My advice go thus banning hijab is not the solution to the insurgency in Nigeria I like you to meet with your security agencies and find out another way to get rid of them
when Allah make a law, there is no option for human being. so I don’t no why dis argumnt
Unfortunate, are the myopic views expressed by many. Yet none bring a solution to the dilema but rather threats of possible escalation of hostilities in to a fragile state. Truly required, is the rod of iron.
Your comment.. could females be banned to carry handbags because what is inside is unknown? If no, then banning hijab is not the solution that will amount to adding salt to injury in the quest to vanish boko haram.
PMB, beware of evil advisers that will lead u astray, that will make u see the wrath of Allah. Beware of evil people that wear human cloth to cover body with cloth. Robbers use Military and police uniform to rob. do we say because of this ban military from performing their statutory functions.
It is not obedience to obey creatures and disobey the creator,no matter the action and inaction of Bokko Harram in our Country FG is in better position to put accurate measure to it if really FG serious about it.Banning of Hijjab is not the solution but if FG fails to comply with the commandment of creator then she asks for writh of the creator. When ever the regulator become irregulate then such institution is going to the existion.
No, he shouldn’t put a ban on hijab. Although, this plot by the terrorists calls for much concern in the minds of all of us—Muslim or not— as to the security of our country. Looking at it from the point of view of all citizens(Muslims inclusive) considering what we can do to help the situation, I think that ‘giving up’ the hijab will be a sacrifice too great for the Muslims to make. It is a part of our life. We cannot imagine how we’d appear without it.
And particularly considering the prevalent situation in the world today In which Muslims are being attacked in many countries because of the accusation of terrorism. Islam prescribes a way of life for its adherents. Putting a ban on hijab means disallowing a major part of Islam… It’s outward appearance. And it may just give way to a widespread dissapproval of Islamic values in the country. This i think would have huge negative effects on the possibility of a peaceful, collaborative Nigeria which is just starting to grow again with the election of a president who appears to have the approval of a great majority of Nigerians, who seems to bear in his hands hope for a Nigeria of our dreams.
It can never be a solution to Nigeria’s insecurity problem and will never be the solution to it!!
Best is for the president to think technological and solve the problem without going so crude and illogical as to creating more problem for the nation!
As-salaam’alaykum, banning of Hijaab is unacceptable because it is ordained by Allah SubhAnna hu Wat a’Allah. Moreover it is d covering of Awrah of sisters. President Buhari cannot disobey d commandments of Allah. And if he does may Allah judge him accordingly. As for me I can never put off my Hijaab…. Because it is my pride
.Banning hijab can never be the solution against insurgency. Federal Government should be careful
banning of hijab means that we want the non muslim perpetrators of evil to say they have acheive their target because it is all about islamophobia
Before banning hijab, FG need to ban Army uniform and police uniform and other military and paramilitary uniforms because perpetrator of evils and so call boko haram make use of these uniforms to perpetrate their evil deeds.
Beheading isn’t a solution to aching head! If PMB bans Hijab and thereafter suicide bombers change their strategy ND start putting IED in their under wears or even in their dresses; will PMB ban wearing of under wears as well as ban wearing of dresses? May he not succeed in banning the Hijab:the pride of believing women.
Nigeria is a multi religion country, so every religion should be given right to practice their religious right irrespective of some few hoodlum use it to commit atrocity. Hijab in Islam is fundamental for our female to wear the fact that some Muslim women do not put it on this days is lack of knowledge. Thus, the president should rethink on baning the hijab b/4 causing more harm than solving problem of the country. I pray that the president should always put God Almighty first b/4 embarking on any issue, may God Almighty us. ameen
Am saying it again again ,go and ask those countries if there problems were solved NO.u know y,becos that isn’t the solution NIGERIANS.
Banned the hijab is as if the government are derail from the bearing of style of waging war against the BH,even if government can use hijabite as a spy worker,they will serve and contributing to security of the country,go to dubai and some other country you will see hijabite in immigration, custom,police e.t.c.Allah bless my country(Nigeria) bless Hijabite.
REMEMBER THE COUNTRY IS MULTI RELIGION
Its very lugubrious when a country with rules and regulation is leading astray.
I wonder how Buhari will say this. He suppose not to mention such talkless of saying it out.(As a Muslim)
How level of his eeman or taqwa by depriving the Muslims of our right.
Firstly considered that Nigeria as a nation contain many religious group in which that the law of this nation testify that everyone have the right/freedon for their choosing religion.
Then our religion order us to cover our body, you are trying to tell us not to and do you think we will follow your order outside from Almighty Allah (SWT), No! We can’t!
We (Muslims) did not compulsory it on anyone as says in Quran’No compulsion in Islam’ but we can’t look down/up and you deprive us from what we are told by Allah (SWT), its not possible. You are oppressing us by that.
Pls, question to be answer
Is Bokoharam are muslim or terrorist?
Are they wearing hijab for invading?
Are they oppressing only non-muslims?
Is only church/shrine was bumb?
Is only non-muslims are killed?
THEN WHY DO YOU WANT TO BAN HIJAB!
Muslims will never tolerate it atall!
Its impossible!
Think of the next step not this
Ban on hijab will worsen the situation and compound the boko haram issue
Mr President. banning of hijab cannot solve anything. and I want you to know that if u are to ban hijab,that means there are many things that should be banned some of these are the military uniform, Agbada and some other things.And again hijab is a commandment from ALLAH, and we cannot disobey the Almighty because of anything in this Dunyah (earth),because Akhirah(hereafter) is more important.Thank you.
cancellation of hijjab is not the right decision for we Nigerian and the Government.These people still have another ways in which they can dress.The bishop way of dressing,school uniform,mechanics e.t.c. and moreover this not the right time for the government to raise dis issue this people have their source so federal government have to work on it.
Just like the journalist who wrongly asked that question to a president (a muslim) a country where muslims are the majority.. i just assumed he gave the wrong answer due to the heat.. but banning hijab.. naaah.. not part of it…. not the answer… we’ll need to change the pattern of our intelligences, our security agencies are still thinking the old way.. upgrade the methods, strenghten the army and do more in wiping away the insurgents as soon as possible because the source of those girls are those kidnapped.. so for us not to lose more lives.. i think the government need to initiate more standard rather than think of banning… because with banning.. the definition of modesty has been distorted..
If Allah commanded, who is Buhari to say no to it?
I pray against the wrath of Allah on Nigeria, My Country.
Rather than make such utterances, he should go back to his praying mat and call unto Allah as I know He is the Best Answer and Solution.
Let’s just keep praying.
In Sha Allah, My Country will know Peace very soon.
Amin
sir,we didn’t ban hijab at the peak of the problem. why now? that part is kinda vague. I suggest we don’t evoke more problems ourselves. hence,its our duty Muslims to supplicate to Allah to help mediate in the whole issue; security, ban and the likes
Your comment..No to ban of hijab
Banning the hijab is dancing to the tune of the terrorist, it simply means that they are in control. If you ban hijab they will use agbada(baban riga), if you ban that one too, they will definitely use another method until you ban everything. this is victory to terrorism
I hope the current government will not course more problems then solving the ones on ground. Why will a legitimate tax payer be denied of his or her fundamental human right?
Banning hijab is constitutionally absurd and contradict the divine instruction from Allah, the Creator of man.
My sincere advise is that the government should re-strategize and expose those behind the parasitic and unreligious sect BH
A big No to the ban of hijab…………….!!
Banning hijab in Nigeria is nothing but stopping muslims from their religion and telling our muslims women to be moving around nakedly,may God Almighty save us from that. Nigeria muslims deserve apology from Pmb for altered such statements noting that hijab is not only weapon used by Boko Haram.
What I want the Federal government to understand is that Allah knows why He ask women to wear hijab; Allah knows what we don’t know; Allah foresees what we can not foresee. Allahu ‘Subhanahu Wata’ala’ knows that one day Nigerians will experience this situation in which they are in now. so see it as a trial from God and beseech Him for a way out. My advice to the Federal government is to collaborate with advanced countries and devise possible means of dictating bomb from afar distance. We shouldn’t use our logical thinking to amend the laws of Allah, let leave it untouched and unchanged.
We have lots of corrupt elements in the present day democracy yet nobody has banned democracy in Nigeria. Nigerian police , custom, immigration, entire armed forces in Nigeria are corrupt. Nobody has banned them, please leave hijab and hijabite alone. Any ban of hijab in Nigeria is invitation of Allah,s punishment. Hijab is Allah’s injunction. Nigeria is not the only country witnessing insurgence. May the Almighty Allah solve the insurgence issue in Nigeria without banning Hijab. Amin
Banning hijab will not solve insurgency problem but will either aggravate it. If you study the today’s world’s Chaos and agitation were not confronting any religious symbol to be a cause but rather look deeply to the solution of the problem to get rid of.And any attempt to do this will bring an uprising in the country thereby bringing unrest and disturbing the peace of the nation. So I believe we try harder to look for a better solution not banning the fundamentals of a religion (Islam). And we may also add Allah’s intervention by praying strongly.
Nigeria is multi religion country and every religion should have the right to practice their religious rite. Hijab in islam is fundamental symbol for Muslim women, the fact that some few hoodlum are using it to commit havoc in the land is not enough reason to ban it and some Muslim female are not wearing it is lack of knowledge, so banning it will cause more problem than solutions. Thus, If Mr president want to rule with@ putting God Almighty first there be failure. so i pray that the president always put Almighty first b4 embarking on any issue. ameen.
This will great more problem to the country because the hijab Identified the different between Muslim and non Muslims and if Buhari should ban hijab there will be war that will worse than that of Book haram because if Buhari should ban hijab that show the Book haram has defeated us and it will create problems because me as a Muslim I will not obey Buhari as a president of Nigeria, BAN NOT PRESIDENT BUHARI.
Your comment..we are not begging the government , but for sure it does not solve the problem, it is common sense, to know it will complicate issues rather than assuming it an attempt to solve the problem.
Banning hijab will not stop boko haram just the way banning army uniform will not stop armed robbers
Your comment..banning hijab is not the best solution to the issue of boko haram in Nigeria bcos as we all know boko haram is using military uniform to disguise, why can’t he ban the soldier and security officer for wearing the uniform. Hijab is our pride and we won’t hesitate to cause harm if d FG didn’t take the proper steps. It is a command from Allah,who is Buhari to ban it.
The banning of hijab can not be seen as a way of correcting or stopping the operations of some sect. The treatment of headache is not by beheading he patient.
Nigeria was never a religious country so it shouldn’t be seen as one
Your comment..Hijab should not be banned bcos that will not solve the problem.Mr President should be careful so that the enemies of progress will not push him to Allah’ s wrath
First,I am shocked at this statement attributed to pmb. And i have been waiting for him to deny it. My shock is informed by the disappointment i feel from a man i trust his experience and wisdom. I understand that he is opened to negotiations with the terror group, boko haram. But that we should hide our faith because of the failure of the Nigerian military under his grand command, is to announce our defeat and to surrender to the enemy.
wearing HIJAB of islam is an indispensable thing and their is no problem will be solve through the commit of sin
Your comment..banning of hijab will definitely not solve the problem. hijab is our right and vehemently we shall unanimously oppose anything of such.Book haram has political under tone and I suggest that the problem of bojo haram should be solved politically.
From my own perspective, banning of hijab as nothing to do with the current issue of “Boko-Haram. In fact, it will even complicate the situations of things because it would be seen as restriction to practice religion of choices when there’s freedom to practice any religion. Hijab is a ” Divine right of women in ISLAM”. Banning it would aggravate another religious disorder.
banning of hijab is not d solution
Banning the Hijab will not solve the BOKO HARAM problem, afterall the success achieved so far has been due largely to concerted and collective efforts of all including the hijab-wearing Muslims. How will you now turn to the same Muslims to place a ban on their symbol of worship? That will rather mean an attempt to start another protracted civil problem. Mr President, do not even think in that direction!
If you strip all Muslim women in Nigeria off their Hijab… Are you seriously saying that is the solution to end Boko haram bombings?
I need someone to convince me.
If govt fail to win battle against terrorist, let them be sure that they can win battle against Allah
banning of Hijab is never the solution. it does not have anything to do with it
That is IMPOSSIBLE. Bannin of hijab doesn’t even hav to b an option to consider bcos it is ordained by God almighty, are u trying to go against God just 4 a reason dat wont even solve boko haram issue? Den y not ban d military uniform since boko haram olso wears dat! If every1 will b just u ol can tell dat even women of Abraham , Noah, Moses and even Jesus cover their body in such manner. Even Mary mother of jesus Chris cover ha body in such manner check ol ha images in churches and books 4 references. Bannin Hijab 4 muslum women is as good as telling dem to walk nicked. So pls dis should not even b an issue to analyze on.
To me hijab is different from vain/niqab… Hijab cover only head and niqab cover all part of woman body. they should allow uses of hijab but for vain or niqab bcos of security of life now in Nigeria they should find something to do about it….may God Allah help us
Nigerians should not single out a religious group
for stereotyping. We didn’t ban the tricycle, army
uniform, police uniform because they are also
used by the terrorist. Neither did we close down
schools because terrorists said western
education is prohibited nor did we close down
Federal Government schools because the Chibok
were kidnapped from there! Hijab is the Muslim
women’s right just as education is the right of
every citizen of this country. You do not cut off
your head because it is aching you, you seek for
solution. Gather intelligence, use bomb detectors,
install CCTV, flush the terrorists out of their
hideout. May God be the strength of our Soldiers
and guide PMB administration
Your comment..I dont think it is possible for anyone to deprive any citizen of his constitutional fundamental right, however,if there is anyone to take such a step he or she shd b called back to sense. Moreover depriving Muslims of there religion ordinance is like inviting Allah’s wrath and his punishment, so Mr president shd reverse his comment and his destructive opinion. I SAY NO TO BAN OF HIJAB.
no hijab banin isnt any solution to the issue
Considering the ban of hijab as a solution to the insurgency is pointless because beheading is not the solution to headache. Besides its like an attempt to create a fresh problem in the country.
Your comment..All praise belong to Allah for given a clew to the mission of the Boko Haram the so called Islamic terrorist. Banning Hijab would only symbolise a mission accomplished. This issue will only catalyse unrest situation in the country and more blood sheds.Burning Churches and Mosques were their strategies on the on set because they know Nigerian are sensitive in area of religion. I pray mr President don’t fall into their trap. His administration will suffer for it the most.
Using hijab by Muslim women is a commandment from Allah in suratu Al-Nur so therefore, banning hijab is a way of denying muslim people’s right and obligation.
APC knew how he installs surveillance gadgets in osun during is gubernatorial poll, but they don’t know how to install surveillance cameras to monitor and find boko haram. is this the party Nigerian entrust their country to
Hello my ppl, Banning of hijab is not the soln. Y can’t we ban d production of motor vehicles b/cos ppl usually have accident & always die in the process. “Cutting off head is not d soln to headache” Thanks
FG’s proposed plan to place a temporal ban on hijab wearing because of security reasons to me is not bad in order to save lives of innocent citizen if this country especially people residing in north eastern part of the country.the president himself is a muslim and he knows very well that hijab is a religious dress of muslim women,and if not for cogent reason, he would not want to tamper with any religious belief of anyone.Nigerians should always think right and give human safety a priority than religious customs,it is when we are alive that we think of serving God.let us support our president to succeed in the fight against both insurgence and corruption.Lets no sentiment be allowed when it comes to government steps to solve the problem facing the country.And when the issue of boko haram is totally solved muslim women can go back to the wearing of their hijabs.
Banning the hijab won’t be necessary.
Application of modern equipment to track down tne perpetrators and using all forms intelligent gathering to tackle is the best option to take. God bless PMB. God bless fed. ref. of Nigeria.
Your comment.. Banning Hijab! That can never be a soluttion to d present situation.Why wld anyone think that going against the injunction of Allah would be a solution to our problem. Rather tryong to ban hijab wld aggravate more problems as there is no obedience to the created in disobedience to the creator.let us be wise& put sentiments apart and treat d current sittuation with wisdom& utmost sincerity.
suspend hijab.
How is banning hijab for security concern a slight on Islam?
I had earlier said that bigotry is Nigeria’s problem.
Being alive does not border Nigerians.
Their religion borders them more than their own lives.
Ban hijab since those poor glopes use it to hide bomb.
Afterwards it can be unbanned.
Those frustrated poor kids who think they are fighting for God must be stopped.
