The duo were seen during an inspection by the camp director, Isu Josephine and when queried admitted they could not wear the shorts and trousers as it was contrary to their religious beliefs.
Okafor Love Obianuju and Odji Oritsetsolaye were brought before the officials of the camp and made to understand it was mandatory to comply to the rules, but they stood their grounds.
They were subsequently charged to camp court, found guilty and thereafter de-kitted and sent home.

Very good...they must to have sense by force.
ReplyDeleteBut the power that play did same in the past without any consequences. After all Festus Keyamo (SAN) refused to recite the national anthem during the senate screening and nothing was done to him.
DeleteGood for them.
DeleteIf Muslims are allowed to wear hijab because of their belief, why force these new to wear trousers?
DeleteI am in support of this and I'll tell you why: can a lady join any branch of the military and refuse to obey the rules of the military? No. Both ladies can refuse to serve if they don't want to follow the set rules of the NYSC.
ReplyDeletePoint of correction.
DeleteThese ladies did not "join," they were mandated to join. Perhaps conscripted
is the right word.
Nobody is mandated to serve Nigeria as a corp member. They could have collected Exemption letters if they didn't want serve
Delete@13:54
DeleteDoes Nigeria exempt anyone that is below 30 years?
Or you are talking about Niger Republic?
Anon 13:54 you can't collect exemption letter if you're not above 30 years as at the time you graduate, or part time student and some like that. This was what caused Kemi Adeosun her job
Delete*Larry was here*
@Larry okay now i know. I had a coursemate then who collected exemption letter. I didn't know it is because of her age.
DeleteServing is not by force.
DeleteYou can always refuse to show up at the camp. Nobody will hold you at gunpoint for that.
@Gbogbo
DeleteYou think it is everybody that has "bigz" buttocks that can make a way for them?
This is wrong by NYSC. If they can allow hidjab for some ladies based on religious inclinations,
ReplyDeletewhy not allow skirt for some?
Even tell them they've got to provide one themselves?
The Muslims that use hijab, do they use the khaki or not?
DeleteThey can wear long trousers abi na leggings.. That way it covers their legs
Delete@13:00
DeleteWe are talking about double standards here. The Muslims are religiously comfortable in their Khaki and when they complained about not wearing hijab, they were allowed to do so.
These ladies are not comfortable in their Khaki for religious reasons, why force it on them?
Has it got anything to do with the person in "fower?"
Abeg the authorities should consider them, Afterall the ilorin Lady that insisted on using her hijab was called to bar. It is the same case.
ReplyDeleteThey got what they deserved.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t be too holy for the government. No wonder Jesus said give unto Ceaser that which is Ceaser’s and unto God that which is God’s.
@Slutty
DeleteJesus was talking from a monetary perspective; tithes to God, taxes to Caesar.
That was why he berated the Pharisees and teachers of the law for being thoughtless
about the payment of tithes.
Please do not like others hide under the "give Caesar..."mantra to perpetrate evils.
I've read some ladies on this blog talking about fornication and abortions as giving to Caesar...
That's giving your lives to the devils
Ajuju, thank you for the correction 😝😝
DeleteHappy Sunday.
You are welcome @Sluttychikito m

Extremists , fundamental religious fanatics who think they are better than all, more righteous than every created being. The law is the law , it must not be bent to favour anyone .
ReplyDeleteAlexander
....and allowing hijab isn't bending at all, right?

ReplyDeleteWhy bother with going to the camp in the 1st place when you know you won't abide by their rules?
ReplyDeleteGo home if you cannot conform to the standing rules and regulations that has been there long before you were born. You know it’s against your religion yet you carry your two left legs there or they think exceptions will be made for them. I don’t just understand some people.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they are deeper life members. Na dem!
As should be! I don't know who they think they are. when in rome, you do like the romans
ReplyDeleteServes them right. Maybe they will be offered automatic employment by a strong religious body.
ReplyDeleteDon’t mind them. This is just too much.
DeleteWho do they even think they are?
That’s how they make life difficult for themselves. Na them holy pass.
Some people think nysc was founded because of them. Anybody that cannot put on the standard uniform should go home and rest. Is putting on the correct uniform worse than the sin of the heart. Hmmmmmm
ReplyDeletePlease, what's bad in wearing trousers??
ReplyDeleteWhere in the Bible was it mentioned women shouldn't wear trousers? Please, don't come here and tell me DON'T WEAR WHAT BELONGS TO A MAN cuz there's no where in the Bible men wore trousers, it was garments(gowns)!!!!
The Bible only says women shouldn't wear what a guy has already WORN.
Before grandstanding, inquire! We've had Deeper lifers who've gone for service. What did the wear? It's not compulsory to serve especially if you're going to run your own business but once you accept the order, you'll have to do everything according to the laid down rules

ReplyDeleteServes them right
ReplyDeleteGood they were sent packing. And those saying it is unfair because musliM girls insist on hijab, at least they always put on their nysc khaki and white longer shorts.
ReplyDelete@lami...No mind them, thank God those ones are not Muslims if not we no go hear word today.
DeleteHow will they feel comfortable doing the camp activities in a skirt self??
ReplyDeleteDis matter is very straight forward Christians will don't have one rules all over the world,some churches wear trousers and makeup meanwhile some dont wear.The Muslims dey have one rules all over the world dats is dere Hijab.Nysc can't listen to them cos of dere one man squad religion when pastor will give orders don't wear dis nd dat.Is good for Christians to come together and make Rules that will protect the Christians incases like this. My opinion Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if they travel abroad they'll be the first to wear trousers. Goats
ReplyDelete...@satituco,
ReplyDeleteget it clear, Muslims didn't make their laws, its divine from the Almighty and thats why its uniform world over.
Any association can make laws and enforce it in their followers or faithfuls but....
