Aminu Gamawa asks.
Recently Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon have suffered repeated suicide attacks by women, girls and even men disguised as females. Last month, Chad banned the full-face veil after series of Boko Haram suicide bombing carried out by attackers disguised as women wearing veils. Cameroon followed suit by also banning burkas and face-covering veils in the aftermath of suicide bombings by females in burkas and veils, that killed many people in the Northern part of the country.
Is banning the full-face veil a good counter-terrorism measure? Should Nigeria do same? What do you guys think?

Temporarily, yes. But obviously, a lot of adherents would cry foul, still ...
Yes please.
Veil ban is long overdue in Nigeria.... especially in the northern part of this country
In full support ooooooo
Yes!
Yes...I fully support the act!!
I'm in full support. The main priority of the government is security of it's citizens, so anything to protect Nigerians I'm in support and That's what the government should do.
Your comment will be visible after approval
I think it is a good idea..
They should ban it sharp sharp...
Are they masquerade?
They should ban everything sef. I support it ooo. Enuf of these bombings! It's now an everyday thing especially in Borno.
yeah it should be banned. They can cover just the hair.
Biko prevention is far better than cure and we don't know who is who...
So all necessary measures to get those dat hide under disguise should b cut off!
YES I DO...
WITH THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY NOW WE NEED TO SECURE OUR SELVES.
NIQOB WOMEN SLD SIT AT HOME IF THEY WANT TO WEAR THE VEIL AND NOT COME OUT IN PUBLIC WITH IT.

Yu will never knw the fear we are passing here unless yu are in the north... Pls they ban the whole Hijab asin the whole thing but that will never be possible bcos the women gat no cloths but that hijab and they will just tie wrapper and thats it.... Hausa men dont buy for their women cloths thats why they will never ban Hijab.
.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
If it can be banned, I support o but hope it won't cause wahala.
Yes, I support.
Yes I support it.
Nigeria should do it too.
When all this BH stuff is over, the ban can now be lifted.
Yeah! I support it, it should be band in Nigeria for security reasons.

Make Una no try am ooo!
For areas like northeast, where cases of suicide bombing are prevalent, I will support the ban if that will help salvage the situation.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
It should be banned. Any man who feels other men shouldn't see his wife's face should keep her at home, this is 2015.
Yes of course! C question o! If dey dnt want to put a ban, they shud only allow it frm kano-zamfara. Shikena!
if it'll reduce the current rise in insecurity, Why not.
If pastors should stop wearing their robes and cassocks, Why not.
It is not the key solution to BH menace in the country but it is a step to curbing their dastardly attacks on innocent citizens even on their own people.In my view,its a step in the right direction.
It is overdue sef!
Yes ooo anytime I see someone (gender unknown) wearing this thing, too many things come to mind like the he/she could be with gunS, knives, BombS, chain of bulletS. I use the capital 'S' to say it isn't just one but many things can be hidden under that outfit. Boko Haram leader might wear it next you and you won't know. And again, you can't demand the person show his/her face because our brothers in the north are sensitive to that and often perceive it as moves against Islam. This thing shouldn't be just banned in Nigeria, the whole world needs to stop this. It has nothing with being Christian or Muslim. Wanted criminals and more can easily escape in that outfit.
Yes....i support d ban.
Yes 100%
Obviously, leaving sentiment aside. These are trying times and all efforts should be made to combat terrorists.
Have it nt been banned??? If yes what are they still waiting for??...they should do that straight away plsss
Why not? Its long overdue, I am surprise it has not been done.
Yea I support big time
*lib's namesake*
It should be banned.
These are countries that are serious with tackling bh . We know nigeria will never ban it. They will end up with religious sentiments.
I support, totally.
#TeamBlessed#
Yes I do
Yes, the dark/opaque coverings should be banned ASAP, personally I don't fancy them. If anyone insists on using a veil, it should be transparent. Anybody can hide under a dark/opaque veil or burqa, even terrorists. Let's do all we can as humans and pray for God's intervention.
Yes na. Make all of us no go die for this kin country o!
it should be banned, am sorry for all my Muslim brothers and sisters but the hi-jab have been compromised and used as a weapon of mass destruction.
It's good if they would follow the same step to avoid the story that touch!
it should criminalized..since buhari is a Muslim there won't b too much noise if it was a Christian president Der wud ave Beem trouble buh since it's buhari a conk Muslim no p
I support linda,let nigeria joint dnt even kn y dey wear veil.
Yes long over due,Ah linda are you asking this question?Infact ban islam join am self!
I support, Nigerian Government should follow suit
Islamic religion as a whole should be banned because it's not reaching them anything but violence.. How can a religion teach people to kill and 7 virgins (from Allah) awaits them at the other side. What kind of cruel religion is that.. A religion that can not teach you to love your neighbour as thy self needs to be banned till infinity...
Of cos it's a good counter terrorism measure and I strongly support it. Asides terrorism, a person wearing a full-face veil can commit some other crimes and get away with it as you can't possibly identify them.
It's high time it's banned in Nigeria too.

So they don't know that is what they should have done since? Keep asking till the whole place is bombed by face covering bombers. #banfullfaceveil.
I support with every fiber of my being. Anything to stop dese maniacs is very welcome by me. Linda take note!

100% in full support
It is not the key solution to BH menace in the country but it is a step to curbing their dastardly attacks on innocent citizens even on their own people.In my view,its a step in the right direction.
I am fully in support of it.
A very big YES
Am 100% in support of banning the so called veil to prevent further attacks. since the recent attacks is being carried out under the pretense of hijab.
Very very necessary.
Please they should ban them which kind ojuju be that, if they want to wear it, they should wear the small size that will reveal their faces.
I absolutely support the ban on veils. At this point in our country security is of greater importance than any particular religious belief.
A big YES!!!... So people don't have to hide under those veils to commit crimes and carry out terrorist attack on unsuspecting citizens.
Yes, I expected Nigeria to have done it a long time ago.
please let president ban them fro using it o
i dont trust burukuharam oo
God bless Nigeria
Nigeria should have done it like 4 years ago! We are still asking questions while innocent people continue to die, all in the name of religious sentiments. Kai, sometimes i almost hate this country.
1000% in support. If possible let it start now but should be relaxed as so as insurgency days are over so that people religion will be reverenced. i rest my case.
My family and I say YES
please ban it!!!
Yes. Till the security issue is better.
They should ban it so we'd know Hausa girls with body assets.. Know those carrying bomb or rifle inside it..
D men go agree so???
Linda are you asking? Of course it should be banned.Not coz we don't respect the Islamic religion but because our security is threatened
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Oooooo
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Nigeria should do the same ASAP
Yes ohhhhhhh. It should be banned
Of course YES,I don't think not wearing thing doesn't mean you aint faithful to God,if banning it will bring a positive change,then why not.
Yes o! Abeg! Ban the crap,all these naija ninjas,walking around scaring people!
Yes o! Abeg! Ban the crap,all these naija ninjas,walking around scaring people!
I think it should be scrapped completely for security reasons...
It ought to have been done a loooong time ago!
Yes i fully support it though the uncovering will not end BH but it sure will reduce it.
I think Nigeria should do whatever it takes to put terrorism to a close. If banning hijabs is a feasible measure, why not? They should go for it.
Absolutely yes!!!
Its never a compulsory things in Islam...
YES I DO. THIS MUSLIMS SHOULD GET RID OF THAT THEIR EVIL VEIL!

I don't support it. Because few people use it to perpetuate evil doesn't mean that those who wear it for legitimate reasons should be banned.
Aminu!! For wetin na; just leave everybody to his/her faith ooo. Though, people do abuse this concept, but I strongly believe in not judging a CONCEPT by the PERSONALITY practising it........#WiseTalk
Yes o, am in full support
Nigeria is the originated owner of Boko Haram. Nigeria should be the ones to ban it first before any other country. We don't need to be advised over it. This country is too slow in everything.

Order for your beautiful bedspreads @ 5671CDBE. Delivery available nationwide.
Yes. Ban pls. At least for now
Yes, that ninja type can be banned forever.
May Allah forgive us.
I don't think that can be done in Nigeria when we hv a Deperlife /Chosen equivalent of Islamist as our president he wld rather prefer not only full-face veil, but even over-all veil & continue with their demonic & barbaric acts, than to go contrary to their Koran. After-all 10 hot virgins awaits them over there for those dt dies in d process. MYOPIC PEOPLE
I think it should be banned..
SIGNS YOU'RE THE SIDE GUY
Mtcheew,, nd dos countries wie it is banned ar still nt experiencin BH EHN?.biko lets stp decievin ourselves u tink if its banned dy wont find oda means,,, I SUPPORT NOT
I can see Dat u think with ur anus... Linda pls try and keep dz kids out of ur blog
Ban Islam join jare. Islam is evil
I encountered this thing few months ago in ogun state and I was startled cos I tot it's a masquerade coming. Then few days later I saw another one that had a brutal bike accident with her baby at her back to my greatest surprise the lady refused to open her face for people to access her injury while she was dying in pain!! They should criminalised wearing of veil cos it's even a modern slavery!!
Shouldn't you query any religion which prides in female anonymity, which holds that women's dressing must nihilistic to save men from their perverse appetite???
If they like let continue to dress like Ojuju Calabar...
Wetin concern me concern hijab!!!!
YES!!!!....
Yesso!!!!it should be banned!
YES!!!!....imagine coming 2 school 2 pick ur kids n oda kids see a woman with full face veil,,they all ran away,,saying its Ojuju..more so,,dey don't hv d opportunity 2 knw their friends mother wearing that full face veil..its really annoying.
The YES have it....it shld be ban forever
better, i think small cap shd be used for those that want to, but if that will help to track boko haram, then they shd be scrap.
Yes. TIMILEYIN BLESSING
Madam Nnenne pls try to understand wat Islam means b4 u talk rubbish
100% yes.Let all of us circulate it thru social media
Of course..they should take off that dirty thing they call veil.
Lmao
Yes full support
To play safe, I'll say yes. Religious prejudices and sentiments have to be shelved. We are talking about the safety of people. For the benefit of enhanced security, I reiterate YES.
Let us put religious sentiments and prejudices apart. To play safe, I'll say a big YES.
Capital YES
Religious sentiments must not be allowed in this matter. For Nigeria to play safe, I'll say a big YES.
Mind u George,Islam as a religion encompasses all it requires to live a sinless and joyous life. Infact its Islam dt teaches ao to relate to ur neighbour,family,friends even visitors whether dy are Muslims or nonmuslims. Its just a pity ft some enemies of Islam and some silly pple who refuse to seek for knowledge turn dmselfs to community nuisance in d name of religion. But one tin is their end is very near insha Allah. Mind u Mr George,u or anybody can never,I mean never in anybody natural lyf can barn AL ISLAM. My prayer is God in His infinity mercy,wisdom and knowledge will give our leaders wisdom to tackle and uproot insurgency in our beloved country Amin
Ask Am
mumu
EDWIN CHINEDU URE JUST A FOOL. IF U SEE THE CLOTHES THOSE WOMEN WEAR UNDER THAT HIJAB U CANT EVEN AFFORD IT IN UR NEXT LIFE SO PLEASE JUST TALK ABOUT THE HIJAB BAN FOR SECURITY AND NOT CUZ OF CLOTHING. MOREOVER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NINJA HERE SO IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE FACE ABI FOR UR VILLAGE THEN DEY WEAR CLOTH FOR FACE???? ILLITERATE IDIOT
Ban forever and permenently, Amen
When Letter 'e' comes before 'v' in the word VEIL,
it means evil, there is need to stop this people covering their faces in the name of tradition to commit EVIL.
What r u saying? Is it a compulsory thing in Islam? It's because u n your family members don't sleep with fear of not waking up in d morning, or u can go to d market n be sure to return home safely, if not, u won't be here yarning dust. Mtcheww!
The full face veil should b banned becos it's use have been compromised. It is a sacrifice worth undergoing to curb these animals BH; and it's not too much. If any one insist on using it she should remain at home#ELEHA
In full support.....
Lmao!
100%
Linda what do you expect your commentators to say before, na to ban am now because they are all christians and its obvious that they have hatred for islam. if you need matured answers from matured fellows ask the matured ones not all these your little kids on your blog. Islam is a religion of peace and you all should know by now that the so called terrorists are not fighting for islam becuas they kill muslims too. OKAY. MAKE UNA WAKE UP AND BE MORE MATURED. Thank me later.
In that case they should also banned ladies carrying hand bangs in public cos Boko Haram have started using that to smuggle bombs too.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!
Hmm, i think u are making sense there
Yes Yes Yes
You are very ignorant. Do ur research before opening ur mouth. Don't judge a religion based on extremism. Those people hide under the label of Islam. That is not Islam.
I think it is long overdue. As a country, we are never proactive. As soon as Chad had their first attack, the full face hijab was banned, same with Cameron but with these attack s repeatedly taking place in Naija, I really wonder what we are still waiting for.
I so agree with u Emmanuel,
My pple all we want is our safety,For crying out loud please lets put a stop to it,do u know sometime if l see any of them in the bus l usually come down for good o
The BH guys use army uniform to perpetrate same evil. Why hasn't the camouflage khaki been banned all this while? The security agents should just cover their faces in shame abeg!
For the fact that there are female suicide bombers do not make all muslim women Bombers. I totally disagree. You have to respect their faith the same way they respect yours.
Seriously Nnenne? Why are your comments like that of an illiterate always. Haba you really need to grow up nd brush ur brains. Why on earth will u use that word about another religion, I swear to God if u were in a northern state with this comment you would have been beheaded. I am not a Muslim, but I respect the religion. Thousands of Muslim have died from the BH thing. Boko haram have their religion separately but using Muslim as a shied. Have met lots of Muslims nd am proud of them, there attitude self is better than some Christians. Both religion are peace, stop criticising religions just because some group of people just to be different. Boko haram to Muslims abi? What will you say about gays, transgenders? If you don't have anything good to say Pls stop the comments. Your comments re always off the hook nd can cause trouble.
There is nothing to be sorry about. That hijab nonsense should be banned forever. Should we wait until everyone dies before our government become responsible?
In support of royal priesthood
You are not just ignorant, you are lost and delusional.You need to learn about Islam and stop peddling lies and stereotypes.It's people like you that constitute problem and nuisance to the peace of this world. Guess what no matter how much you hate Islam or any other religion at all, there's nothing you can do to eliminate it or it's adherents.stop being biased and learn some tolerance,you might see the light if God wills.GROW UP
Yeah Boyeeeeee(in flavour flavs voice).
You see some of these Turkish /Somalian moslem men in England perving at other women yet theirs is wearing this head to toe and no one dares approach or even shake their hands.
Its unfair on the women as well especially in summer. How come the men are not doing same. Seems an unfair and cruel thing to do to another human for the sake of religion.
Does d robe n cassock cover deir faces?mtchewwwwwww.....c talk like mess.....
