outrage: Its the amount written in arabic caligraphy but in hausa pronounciation..

ezeagu:

Why?

tomakint:
You sef wonder why I am curious because where the Arabic Inscription was placed tells you there is more to it than the ordinary! Besides, it's the same with what you have on the #100, #200 #500 and the question still comes, WHY?

tomakint: @outrage, I have heard you but you have still not explained the real meaning of the inscription as I expected you to!

It has nothing islamic about it, so fear not.

c.fours:



If you southerners can't understand the arabic parts. how do you expect the northerners to understand the english part.
stop embarassing yourselves with your ignorance abeg. Nigeria is not made up of south only.

Negro_Ntns: yeah, but putting the inscription in the three major languages using what script?

give me example using one of the languages.

tomakint:
I am talking of the way it was done on our #5, #10, #20 and #50! For instance, our #50 have the following; Naira Hamsin, Naira Iri ise and Aadota Naira why can't they do such on the higher denominations? My point!

outrage:
Guy stop spewing rubbish and showing your ignorance. Its not the same, The begining is because it means "naira' but the ending part is different, because of the differnt denominations.,
Arabic and hausa are interwoven.. A lot of words in hausa are derived from arabic. Infact the origin of hausa is arabia, if you studied your history in early university you should know that, 'bayajida'
Where the caligraphy is placed doesn't mean anything.



I believe this should answer your curiousity, except you want to attach your own meaning to it..

Negro_Ntns: taharqa,

on the presence of arabic on national objects, it is also (i think) on the embroidery with the coat of arms sewn onto army officers hat. im not 100% sure but I think it is there. I know with certainty that it was there at one point in past but cant say if its still there or not.

i want to bring an issue up here that none who supports removing the currency ajami has yet thought of.

1. how are we going to pass it in NASS when the bill will require 2/3 majority and the north control that 2/3 power?

2. if by some miracle the bill passes to become law and the ajami is removed and then the northerners refuse to honor or accept the modified notes in their region, then what do you do to prevent a national catastrophy?

kodewrita: As long as there are people who only understand the Ajami script (the arabic lettered form of hausa), then it needs to stay on the notes.


its not a religious script and its just stu..pi.d tribalist mentality to request its removal simply because you dont like seeing arabic script.

I am a christian Yoruba and I find nothing offensive about it.

Deep Sight:

Currency notes are left at the approval of the President under the CBN Act.

So this issue does not arise.

Now let me ask you a question: what happens if the rest of Nigeria other than the north reject the current notes.

geeez:

So why aren't you requesting that we use the inscriptions on our road signages because that's the only language some people understand? And what makes you think there aren't Nigerians who can't read Arabic or English but can read Yoruba? What about those people?

Negro_Ntns:

.....if the president had such exclusive power it would have been exercised in past regimes.

the south has no such ball power to stand up for political direction. i should not even make it a north/south issue....
.it cuts three ways!

Negro_Ntns:

geez, it should not be about language.

as i said in earlier post, if you write in yoruba, you commit the same violation as hausa written in ajami because the yoruba itself will be written in latin.

Deep Sight:

Yes, but ofcourse, why give the Hausa in ajami the exclusive privilege? The Yoruba in latin may need or want the same privilege, no?
