As Nigeria celebrate her 55 Independence anniversary on Thursday, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the Federal Government to immediately return the Arabic Ajami script removed from the nation’s naira notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Director of MURIC Prof. Isiaq Akintola made the call on Wednesday in his independence anniversary message to felicitate with the government and Nigerians.

"We call for the reinstatement of the Arabic Anjami which was removed from the naira by the last administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan after subterranean pressure from some unpatriotic religious leaders. Nigerian Muslims regard the removal as an act of hostility taken to spite Muslims. We consider it as a step taken to satisfy a section of Christians who had been secretly agitating for the removal of Arabic graphics from some official emblems used in Nigeria.

“We see the removal of Arabic from the naira as absolutely unnecessary and an action taken by Jonathan to spite Nigerian Muslims. We hereby state without any fear of contradiction that the use of Arabic as part of the graphics on our emblems does not in any way portray the imposition of Islam or its landmarks on Nigerians. This is so because Arabic stands parri pasu with English graphics wherever the former is used. “English graphics represent Westo-Christian civilisation while Arabic graphics symbolise Islamic culture. Those who insist that Arabic must be removed from our emblems nurse an agenda of domination by elimination,” Akintola said.

He said that whoever insists on the removal of Arabic Anjami from the naira and from other emblems must accept the equal removal of English graphics from the same materials, adding that after all English is the language of the Bible as it is known in Nigeria and it is on the nation’s naira and all other emblems.

He added: “By the way, apart from massaging the ego of Goodluck Jonathan and satisfying the narrow interest of Muslim-haters, what has Nigeria gained from removing Arabic from the naira? We appeal to the Federal Government to redress this wrong.”

im beginning to doubt if this guy is actually a professor with this statement. Please was this press statement in english or arabic?

Highly nonsensical! What purpose is the Arabic Graphics serving on our Naira? They should be reminded that Nigeria isn't Saudi Arabia, and Arabic cannot contest the position of the English Language in Nigeria.

TonyeBarcanista:
This man was supposed to be a Professor but unfortunately, he's exhibiting so much ignorance.

1. The Languages of the Bible are Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages. English is but translation to serve speakers of English language. In Rome, their Bible is the Latin translation; In Spain, it is the spanish translation. In Arabic Countries, Christians use the ARABIC translation of the Bible. In Nigeria, while English translation is mostly used in urban areas, most rural areas use their local dialect translation. English is,was and has NEVER been the language of Christians nor the Bible.

2. English language is the official Language in Nigeria and the language of business. Government transact businesses in English language. Arabic is, was and has never been our language. Hence, there is NO reason for arabic inscription to be on national symbol, neither is there any reason for Jewish or roman inscription to be on our national symbol.

3. The man and his group are only blowing hot air. Buhari MUST not restore the arabic inscriptions but instead he should remove the arabic inscription on our military emblem. This has nothing to do with anti-islam or pro-christian.

One of the things that makes me likes you, is because you argue with fact, and most of your argument are always genuine.

You are a blessing to Nairaland and Nigeria as a whole

Thumb up for you.

And what would Nigeria gain for add it except massage the ego of some religious fanatic like you

They will start their jihad war because of this.

MAKE UNA CARRY NA KETTLE GO PARK ONE PLACE JORR.



Violent and radical set of people!

Are these people thinking at all...despite all the problems that abounds in Nigeria that we r hoping for a listing solutions... All what comes to these peoples mind is the necessity of one language on naira note...hmmmm, May God sustain this nation.

Will it improve our economy?

i just wonder the common sense in this at this time and age .Oga muric ishaq why not ask them to put yoruba instead of your adopt Arabia moreover nothing can change the fact that you are a yoruba first before ur holier than religion

Iranu










Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way these terrorists talk authoritatively as though this country belong 2 them alone need 2 be checked if one Nigeria is 2 be maintained.

Since the removal of the anjami threatens some muslims (me not inclusive), maybe Arabic should also be compulsorily added in our institutions of learning. Wonder where and how people become professors like this

ERAKAMUS:
People can reason sha

People can reason funny sha....

CivilzedTyger:
I wonder why some ignorant folks believe that all muslims are terrorist, my name is Muhammad am a muslim nt a terrorist, Islam Is Peace, Jugding Islam based on what ignorant muslims do is like judging a car based on the competence of the driver. #itzcommonsense

we keep hearing that everywhere. but your people up north and those in arab keep doing otherwise. who do we believe now?

This terrorist will never ceases to amuse me. English is our official language. Arguing that they must remove English from the currency and put islamic symbol is quite senseless and uncalled for. I thought this man is educated and should understand that in a society where there is a christian and muslim, such nonsense should not have been included in the official currency at all. There are many important things the government needs to address instead of this utter rubbish

Why is this also a problem to Muslims? Please can we ignore these things & move forward?

You are a blessing to everyone as well. Thank you!

TonyeBarcanista:

Exactly! Religion shouldn't be a factor to national stuff. Naija is neither a christian nor muslim country.

Same thing Bishop Kukah said yesterday

Their real intention of fighting Gej unfolding.... I said it, time will tell a lot of stories.
When UNESCO said that illiteracy in Nigeria stands at 65% many didn't know how true his assertion was, even a professor who is a Muslim is an educated illiterate.....ladies and gentle, permit me to present to you my case studies of the said claims. Muslim always brewing for control. My goodness

See illiteracy, English is Nigeria's official language and point of correction, Hebrew is the language of the bible....

He got me thinking: since English is a biblical language for Christians, why does he go by it? Why did he conduct an English interview?

And this is coming from a professor? Well, i am not surprised cus Islamic Education gave him that title.

One Nigeria.

This is the same thing Boko Haram are saying
And dis respected man is indirectly saying the same thing Bible is written in English God help us

another terrorist group brewing up, may be they will call this one ENGLISH HARAM.
