why can't they used the bolded alone,,, why must they write it in Arabic,,,

we even study French more than Arabic. why can't they write it in French

English is our official language why can't they write it in English

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

You are not making sense, not to me at least.

They did exactly what you are suggesting.
Maybe what you want is for them to interpolate the translation with Transliteration.

People who went to school and are properly educated don't write that way. The English language has rules.

Go over your post again and again, you will realise your error in statement.

You cannot interpolate Translation (of a statement or sentence) and still leave a Transliterated part in the statement or sentence.

You either write all in English language (which will contain the word 'God') or you write it out transliterated wise (substituting the word 'Allah' for God).

Don't let fury blind you.

If not for the cowardice of our youth nowadays especially those from the Southern part of Nigeria who refuse to see the bitter politics play by illiterate North, from using human lives to blatant lies etc. All these things should have been a thing of the past.
Ask yourself is Nigeria an Islamic country or can everybody read or understand Arabic language?

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.

Whoever used the Arabic inscription there should've used Swahili instead then.

...yet the 80% are not complaining. They live in endless bliss. Contentment is always their first name.

Mean while the rest of the "supposedly educated" non Northerners can't go a day without counting their sorrows.

No! I meant what i actually wrote:

I would like to believe you understand the (English language) meaning of the expression

"dye has been caste".

In that case thank you.

Please if you can, then educate me further.

My understanding is that the word "dye" goes with "cast" in that expression, which is intended to mean "something is already late".

you know, like when you pure a SOLUTION or COLOURANT (dye) into SOAKED CLOTHING, the formed colours becomes non separateable for life.

Well my formal education is minimal so I stand to be corrected.

Thanks

Your explanation is not logical, Kindly check a Dico or use google.. the die is cast- used to say that an event has happened or a decision has been made that cannot be changed (from oxford advanced learners' dictionary; 8th edition)

Thank you. your correction turned out valid. I must have "misheard" this expression right from my young age and it stuck with me wrongly.

well, thank God I warned you earlier that my formal schooling is limited.
