Why Christian lady wears hijab
@tf_its.sally shared a video showcasing herself in different outfits, including the hijab. She said that covering her hair doesn't make her a Muslim, as modesty is a personal choice and not exclusive to Muslims.
"Covering my hair doesn’t make me Muslim. Modesty is a personal choice, Muslim are not the only one who are supposed to dress modest."
She further explained that she wears hijab because she loves it. She said she strongly believes in her faith, but has a personal choice to wear what she likes.
She added that she feels more confident rocking the hijab. She wrote:
"I wear hijab because I like it! I believed strongly in my faith . I know hijabs are made for the Muslims Buh I have a personal choice to what I want to wear. I wear hijab as sign of cultural appreciation,not that I want to be a Muslim. Embracing myself in Muslim outfit is a way that makes me feel more confident."

"The irony is that Islam and Christianity are all Abrahamic religions. We all cover our heads, in Christianity it’s a choice. Mary covered her hair, so did most women in the Bible."

Hijab use: Man reacts to Oyedepo's stance
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had reacted after Bishop Oyedepo rejected the use of hijbas in church schools.
Speaking during a church service in an old video, Bishop Oyedepo described the demand as an act of overstepping boundaries, likening it to “a tenant decreeing for the landlord.”
The cleric emphasised that mission schools should maintain their original standards and advised those pushing for the hijab to establish their own schools.
