oh what a great revelation. thank you for the history revealed. However, now that many of them can speak and read English, can they please remove it and replace with our common language, ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Allah(arabic) means God (english) in arabic, illah means god(diety), in hebrew God is Elah El ilah... God is simply an english word for supreme being, what you serve as followers of abraham is YHWH or Yahweh.. Same way hebrews dont have anything called Jesus as it is a latin word, but they have Yeshua

Say whatever you want but the muslim creed saying ''There's no God but allah'' is a DIRECT denial that the name 'God' does not represent allah, in other words God is not allah.

As Long As It Can Pay Bills, We Want The Money In Our Pocket... Wether Written In Arabic Or Swahili..

Reno, I think you were high when. typing that post.

Is it only Northerners we had/ have in Nigeria? The justification that we had more of them who could spoke Arabic more than English does not just make sense.

Nigerians should not allow themselves to be decieved. There's a big difference between the word 'God' and 'Allah.' Which is why muslims say; There's no God but allah. They clearly deny the english word God and outrightly reject 'God' as a name that could represent allah in their religion islam.
If they do not recognize english word 'God' as a name that describes God in many religions including Islam, why are they now claiming God is the arabic word for allah? What is ''there's NO God but allah''? On one hand they claimed there's no God but allah, on another hand they are claimed God represent allah in English, even though their creed says 'there's no God but allah.' Isn't that mischief? They always do this when it suits their agenda.

The rest of the world may see Allah as an arabic word for God in English, but Islam does not. In fact, to them (muslims) there's no any other language but arabic. That is why they DELIBERATELY wrote; Victory belong to Allah on Nigerian army logo in ARABIC (the adopted language of Islam) in a multi religious country.
Remember Taqiyya is their number tool of warfare. All muslims are required to regard Arabic as special language above any langauge in the world. In fact, a muslim is required to understand arabic more than his/her won mother language to understand islam.
The statement; Victory belong to Allah as written in arabic is nothing but a DIRECT statement representing Islam.

CBN and Nigerian Army should do the needful.

Then direct your grievance to them, not to NL mods

Very apt I must say. But what I still expect Nigeria to do I to adopt one indigenous language from the 3major ethnic group and make it compulsory subject in our school and with time make it our official language. I work at the airport and I see some Nationals of different countries who don't speak English and they don't even feel or bother about it. They proudly speak their language and if u don't understand it is up to u. quote author=potent5 post=85752478]Okay. But now that the number of northerners who can read and write in English is greater, can we do away with it. It's usefulness is no more.


The last time I checked, Buhari and his brothers said there were more competent and educated people in the north than in any other part of the country as a result of which appointments have been lopsided in their favor.

Arabic is a Language and not a religion, Many christians speak Arabic as their only language, The Bible also as an Arabic version so i see no reason why christians should opose arabic writtens on currency of a country that is bordered with Northern African Arab, and conduct millions worth of trade with them

As it stands, most of the Rams , Camel , Donkeys and some breed of Goats we eat and use in Nigeria comes from Chad, Niger, Mali and even Senegal, and most of our grains like millet, white corn and wheat are also sold back to them

Obasanjo a Christian was the President that designed and minted N200 , N500 and N1000 and he included the arabic insription and translation of the denomination

Below is a picture of Bible written in Arabic, am sure if our Hypocrite Brothers see this now they would burn it

.

There are a lot of people up here in the north who can't read English, but can read Arabic.
The fact here is this; the Arabic written on the naira note is written as Hausa using Arabic alphabets, just the way English alphabets are used to write Yoruba. My people perish for lack of knowledge

Thegeneralqueen:
Arabic is not our language hope you noooooo.....

Neither is ENGLISH

itsme01:

if you read my comment you would ask this question, because i highlighted the economic benefit of such

so why not French that is the language of trade in majority of those countries, and will the naira soon start bearing mandarin translation since we are getting high volume of trade with China

French uses same alphbet as english, we dont trade with china using naira, we use dollars, but chad , niger sell cows , ram, donkeys etc to us in naira

The white man made its decision base on the information available to him in its day and factually so.

Make yours based on information available in your own day. Show your mind is independent.

Are the Arabic speakers still in their majority?

If we want to erase all manner of colonial inputs in our consciousness then lets do so honesty. Not only when the arguments suit our course.

It's too political

Most christians are hypocritical bigots and sentimental braindead fellows.

Arabic should not be written on our currency notes , because its not our official language

TRUSTEDGUY:
Are you from Mail? No b the same Naija babe you b?

What on hell is mail?

ejimatic:
. Is Arabic our official Language now? As in #50 all our notes should have inscriptions of the Nigerian major languages. No alternative.

There is particular ethnic group in Nigeria called Shuwa Arabi so Arabic is part of our indigenous languages.

. Arabic is an indigenous language in Nigeria.Nigeria has more than 400 local languages but only one is our official language .That is English.which cuts across every tribe.Nigerians only consider Hausa Igbo and Yoruba as languages with majority speakers

Arabic is not an official language...Additionally Hausa Igbo and Yoruba are three Nigerian languages with majority speakers.That is why they are called major languages.

If British can include Arabic in Nigeria money because most hausas understand and write Arabic without considering other tribes then it will be safe to say Nigeria belongs to the northerners. That's what it signify.

Ignorance is not an excuse. Do you know that the 1,2,3,4 are called Arabic Numerals ?. Because Arabs made them and are better in calculation than Roman numerals, I,II,III,IV ?.
If you hate Islam that much do stop using the Arabic Numerals & Arabic Inscription on your life's. Kindly Google these facts, mumu.
