The symbol of the Naira(our currency) is from Latin and for some reson, you are not drawing any religious sentiments to it.

This country got its name from the Niger River. The name "Niger" is derived from Latin but you are not raising am objection cos it fits your religious bigotry and program.

Save yourself further embarrassment.

You have said it all Sir..
The problem with this country is religion..

IMO, Religion and ethnicity are the worst problems of Nigeria for Decades, and not Corruption...

Mynd44:

How many Nigerians understand English even within Nigeria? I can bet if they had used Latin, you wouldn't have a problem with it

You are not making any sense at all!

What is ur issue with latin?

Mynd44:


Grasping at straws are you? Please if the Naira can be derived from Latin which is associated with Christianity, why are you fretting about another insigna from Arabic which is associated with Islam?

Infact, I think traditionalists should protest this. It is not fair, Sango and Amadioha need to be represented too

How is it associated with christianity?

Jajayi:
He just wrote the meaning up there. It's simple. Allah just like 'Chineke' is a Language meaning 'God'. It's not a language restricted to Muslims alone
.

d question he asked was are we arabs?? even if we used hebrew it still don't make sense.

dauntless15:
and out of the hundreds of languages in Nigeria islam is the best to inscribe on everything right?

You are not getting it, Arabic is not Islam. The Hebrew language in which the Bible was originally written is not a Christian language, is it?

SUPERPACK:
why do the british make use of arabic numerals on their big ben (clock) since they are nt muslems

Don't you know the difference between arabic numbers and roman numbers??

Emzypaz:

You are not getting it, Arabic is not Islam. The Hebrew language in which the Bible was originally written is not a Christian language, is it?

what is hebrew or arabic doing with Nigeria, its not our major language nor our colonial language so tell me how arabic got there

Mynd44:
Sorry1.
Please where are you?

I'm here now, let me read your post.

jeez! Are you for real? Even a slowpoke will find this your post very funny... saying The "N" in niger and NGN has any religious affiliation is the funniest thing I've ever seen today.

Thisboysef:
The translitration is Nasrun minallah. It means victory belongs to Allah alone.

...Transliteration is: Nasrun minallah.

....Translation is :Victory belongs to God alone.

The English language equivalent word for ALLAH is GOD.

Mynd44:




This smells like you are accepting defeat and running away. Please lets talk more about why there is an Arabic insigna on out national symbol since it has been shown that Latin is also on our symbols.

Mynd mynd...Very funny person

dauntless15:
same applies to arabic, how many Nigerians understand Arabic in Nigeria, Nigerians even have more chance of understanding English more than arabic

Really
You can say that to the over 50million Northern population of Nigeria.

dauntless15:
church is a place of worship, but Nigeria is a country with diverse ethnic groups, we cant be subjected to arabic because we aint all Arabians or Muslims and this is not an Islamic country

Tell that to the over 50 Million Northerners whom the entire global community sees (and respects) as Nigeria's First Class citizens.

Do you really think you have a choice of say

temitope277:
english is the official language in 9ja, arabic is only understand by the muslim and we have more christian than muslim in nigeria

Says who?

Mynd44:

The symbol of the Naira is Latin
The name of the country is derived from Latin.

Miss me with your religious bigotry biko

So if every insignia or that connotes Nigerian insignia has latin written on it, why shouldnt the the nigerian army motto?

or why can't it be written alongside the arabic words?

Im sure if it was written in french or Greek, you wont have problem with it. There is no different between you and bigoted bokos

Why is latin or greek used in most of our eductation institution's logo? Why do we use church tittles for Govt officials in Nigeria. Like Ministers, Dean, Chancellor, Provost. Why do we wear church gown and not our traditional attire when we graduate from school.

Bro, you are islamaphobic

RisMas:

the difference between me and the bokos is, i don't have to blow you up to prove a point, it can't be French or greek because those languages have nothing to do with Nigeria same applies to gibberish.

Is gibberish our official language? NO English is

Is gibberish among the three main languages? NO

Just shove your ignorance deep into any hole in your body because I'm fed up with it

this ridiculous and fictional statistics is based on what research data? 50 million northerners globally, have you also compared it with the number of those who aint northerners? Or your so called global community told you that gibberish speakers are gods in human form, they're gradually islamizing Nigeria and you still gladly stick your nose in thier butthole.

shutup, are you the one who counted them

some people comments heh

There is no reason why it should be written in Arabic,,, since Arabic isn't one kg our languages..

to those who says English word for Allah is God... (agreed But )

Why shouldn't it be written in Hebrew, since it has the English word for God also, why shouldn't it be written in Latin, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French... they all have English word for God.....

stop being an hypocrite, the words are supposed to be written in English..

now even the official language of the army is Hausa... lemme talk about this to

the official language shouldn't be Hausa, it should be English since most people understand English... but maybe Hausa is easy to hear that's why they make it official language....

is Latin and Greek related to any religion

do you see any institution that uses Hebrew as their motto

RisMas:

It isn't right to be written in French & Greek...

even if it's written in French, so do French have anything to do with Christianity

there are some French speaking country in Africa and their religion is Islam ( major )

Hausa is army language why can't they write it in Hausa,, why must it be in Arabic since Arabic doesn't have anything to do in Nigeria except Muslims

Sierra Leon -------- Case Study




Languages of Sierra Leone -

Although English, as the official
language, is spoken in schools,
government administration and the
media, Krio is spoken as a lingua franca
in virtually all parts of Sierra Leone.
Krio , an English-based creole
language, is the mother tongue of
10.5% of the population but is spoken
by 90% of Sierra Leoneans.

the religion of sierra Leon is ISLAM

Islam is the
largest religion in
Sierra Leone, with
significant
Christian and
animist
minorities.
According to a 2015 estimate from
the Pew Research Centre, 78.0% of
the population is Muslim, 20.9% is
Christian, while the rest of the
population is either animist or
follows other religious beliefs.



yet the motto of sierra Leon army is UNITY, FREEDOM, JUSTICE



why can't they write it in Arabic




Nigeria Muslims sha,,, they always want to be on top, they only know themselves, cater for themselves, & also they are selfish.....

You still don't get it, do you?

The world doesn't give a d.a.r.m about the "rest of you" that are not Northern Nigerians.

From the time the colonial masters handed over reign of leadership to Northerners (half a century ago) up to the recent "edging out" of the famous CLUELESS DRUNKEN MASTER out of Aso Rock Villa; pure dominance has always been achieve through support of the invisible hand of the white man.

The same white race who sold you c.o.c.k & bull story about someone who's death in far away Middle East Isreal some Two thousand years ago Is supposedly to absolve you of your committed (and yet to commit sins)
are also the same people helping to undermine your progress.

Your role model and icon, the white man, who brought evangelism to you and (still to your face) mortgaged your existence to the Northern Nigerians, are now the same elements you want to use in equating Justice and rights.

Do I smell gullibility?

Trying to logically explain the presence of Arabic inscriptions on our national symbols, currency etc will amount to a waste of time because time immemorial such attempts has turned out fruitless.

I remember sometimes far back in the year 2007, our dear SEUN OSEWA vigorously tried to enlighten discussants (your kinds) about the real meaning of literacy & illiteracy, when the question on why there were Arabic inscriptions on the Naira notes was posted.

Your brothers had claimed it was meant to appease the Hausa's illiteracy. Even SEUN, a classed orator could not convince them (in that forum) that the simple (glaring) fact that an Hausa man could read in Arabic Language makes him not only literate but also formally educated.

LITERACY IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, but you wouldn't know that would you? Because you lack origin/originality.

Accept your fate, you are 2nd/3rd citizens.

Nothing on the surface of planet earth can change that. At least not as long as the White and Jews and Arabs and Asians remained world leaders.

On a last note, one major quality that makes Northerners preferable (as Nigerian leaders) is that they (Hausas) are cultured, mannered, diplomatic and far more beaurocratic than the rest of you (gun toting, mouth yapping, fraud inspired) lots.

English is our official language, so shut the fuq up and exit this thread to somewhere where you'd be tolerated just like illumimati always finding a way to enforce its religion on people, must we take gibberish seriously?

What are you on about .
