Hijab Controversy: Kwara in Crisis as Muslims, Christians Clash
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
By Waliu Adeyeri

Crisis has broken out in Kwara State, with muslims and christians clashing over the wearing of hijab in christian schools.

The Kwara State Government had in February shut 10 Missionary’s schools in the state for outlawing the use of hijab by muslim students in the schools.

Clips from the scene shows Christians and Muslims throwing pebbles at one another as the Christians mission protest against the Governor’s decision.

Imagine what a peaceful protest was turned into, having to jump over the fence of your property to get treatment.

The issue has generated different views on social media and has made ‘Kwara’ one the trending topics today

While some social media users opined that hijab should be allowed in Christian Missionaries schools, others disagreed.

A Twitter user, @MFaarees_ who is in support of the use of hijab in missionary’s school said “I don’t think Hijab should be a reason for a clash between Muslims and Christians in Kwara State, Muslim ladies should be allowed to wear Hijab to schools, provided the schools ain’t owned by Christians, and Christian ladies shouldn’t be forced to wear Hijab, it’s very simple.”

Another user, @DE_COMMUNICATOR also supported this view saying that “Kwara State govt should do the needful on the controversies concerning Hijab for schools in Ilorin. Hijab should be allowed for Muslim students and not imposed on Christian students… Simple!! Islamic scholars should ALWAYS ring the bell of no compulsion in Islam.”

Education doesn’t give grounds to religion. The walls of schools welcome everyone and their dressings shouldn’t impede their rights to learning.
Moreover it’s just a veil over the head and not some kids deciding to dress naked.

The location of that school is more of a Muslim environment the least they can do is overlook hijab. They're are lot of schools in Ilorin that doesn't allow Hijab and there's no problem. You can't build a school at that part of the city and say you want to ban hijab

On the contrary, Rinu Oduala, an activist and promoter of the #EndSARS protest said, “Why should Muslim Students who chose to go to Missionaries Schools be allowed to wear Hijab in the school? If it’s that compulsory, why not send them to the Muslim schools in Kwara?”

Rest this argument bro, there are rules and regulations everywhere..eash school should be left alone to operate as they deem fit as long as its within the ambient of the law. Parents should take their wards to schools that fits into their belief..its as simple as that.

— Ayokounle⚪🇳🇬 (@IamAyokounle) March 17, 2021

Christians Missionaries Schools in Kwara state have full rights to reject the wearing of Hijabs by their students.
If you are not OK with that, then look for Islamic school.pic.twitter.com/lAQSf573QC

Nobody is promoting religious intolerance but abide by the rules of where you belong, if you can't abide don't go there. No religion is to turn down the right of children to education
