There's a grand plan to stop Muslim girls from being educated - Group cries out against anti-hijab policy in schools

- The Al-mu’minaat Organisation has called on govt at all levels to stop the unwarranted discrimination against Muslim girls in hijab

- The organisation bemoaned a situation where hatred for Islam and Muslims is demonstrated by government establishments, corporate organisations, schools and individuals

- The Al-mu’minaat Organisation said it had concluded that there is a grand plan playing out to either stop Muslim girls from being educated or change their religion

Government at all levels has been urged by the Al-mu’minaat Organisation (The Believing Women) to direct all its agencies and departments to stop the unwarranted discrimination against Muslim girls in hijab.

The call was made by the organisation's national president, Hajia Nimatullah Abdul-Quadri, ahead of the World Hijab Day in Lagos, The Guardian reports.

Legit.ng gathers that she said: “Our hijab has had its undue share of pains in Nigeria. We have come under attack like never before and this has increased in us, the will and strength to fight for our constitutional rights using all means devoid of violence.”

Abdul-Quadri bemoaned a situation where hatred for Islam and Muslims is demonstrated by government establishments, corporate organisations, schools and individuals.

She said: “Of particular attention today is the treatment meted out to Muslim girls and ladies wearing the hijab. Although we have a subsisting court judgement permitting the use of hijab in schools, some school heads in Lagos state have repeatedly flouted this and demonstrated contempt for this ruling.

"Almost on a daily basis, secondary school students call in to lay complaints of staff members of their schools forcing them to pull off their hijab.

“From Lagos state schools to the University of Ibadan International School, Ibadan, to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Staff School, Oyo State, to schools of nursing in the south-west, the sad story is the same.”

She added: "We have thus concluded that there is a grand plan playing out; a plan to either stop Muslim girls from being educated or change their religion, a colonial missionary policy in post-Independent Nigeria."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos state area unit, stated that one of the criteria its members will use for voting gubernatorial candidates in Lagos state in 2019 will be the unconditional approval for female students to wear hijab in schools.

The head of the MSSN in Lagos, Saheed Ashafa, made the disclosure public at the group's 106th Islamic Vacation Course which took place at the Human Capital Development Center, Noforija, Epe.

Ashafa called on government and school authorities to embrace the use of hijab in schools, pointing out that assaults on school children over the use of hijab is a violation of their fundamental rights and freedom.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
