No, but Arabic has been used as a mode of communication in the northern part of Nigeria and some part of southern Nigeria before the colonial masters came . You should have asked Nigeria Immigration why they asked applicants that are fluent in those languages to apply for their last year recruitment.

Gaddafithe2nd:

Yes they should learn it. The Egypt Coptic Christians are the most populous christian in the middle east (about 9 million) , Lebanon has 50% Muslim/50% christian population. Iraq, Syria, Jordan and many more they all have Christians. The population of Christians in the middle east is about 16 million. So, what language do you think they used as a mode of worship? It is Arabic only the Christians of Iran use Persian language.
Internet is there for you do your research.

ABIOLAXYZ:



Arabic is just a language, it is different from Islamic Studies.

ogorwyne:

Before the colonial masters you say? I don't have much to say to those things you typed up there. I will conserve my energy.
We won't learn any stupid Arabic, We have our own indigenous languages. For a common means of communication, I think English is just fine.

If the Federal government wants us to adopt Arabic (which is crazy by the way) I don't think the best way to go about it is by dropping such a surprise on people in an exam. Its obvious they want some people to fail.

We do not need Arabic, any person or group that intends to speak or use the language can do so, but buhari's people shouldnt force it on us.

I have typed too much for a day.

HigherEd:

So how do you expect chukwudi from Imo state to pass the test. Let us try something, why don't we change that Arabic questions to Jewish Hebrew which is also just a language and let us see what the hypocrites would do.
I'm sorry for you. What has been the benefit of Islam to Germany. You keep talking of how fast you are replicating but fail to tell us how many lives have been terminated due to the foolish migrant experiment of the west. How many people have been blown to bits, mowed by trucks and raped gruesomely?

Islam is a plague to Europe, it has turned a once peaceful continent into a zone of bloodbath. The Europeans failed to learn from Africa and Asia what the destructive power of Islam could do.

Unfortunately, they are now learning by experience. With less than 10% population the Muslims have turned Europe upside down. Theyve made Sweden the rape capital of the world, Germany, the explosion capital of Europe and France, the human truck mowing capital.

The West made the mistake of equating Islam and Christianity thinking Islam was going to evolve just like Christianity. But oh my, they are in for a rude shock!

Future generations would bless the European countries that quickly stemmed the migrant tide of Islam, the Japan and South Korea are the future peaceful places for all man kind because it is still rid of Islam.

Whose language is Arabic? This country is a joke.

"The inclusion of Arabic Studies in the recent Nigeria Police Force NPF recruitment Test is highly unacceptable. Some forces just want to score political marks by trying to impress the president and divide us as a people. This administration and all agents that want to divide us should be seriously warned as it is too late to turn Nigeria into an Islamic State. We therefore reject the NPF recruitment Test and ask for it to be re-written without the inclusion of Arabic Studies in it."----------Bishop David Oyedepo, President of Living Faith Church Worldwide

[b]they said it was optional, but how come you can submit untill you answered it this is togive muslims upper hand over the christians, the test should be redone or every state should have its own police

brodalokie:


I went to African Church Grammar School in Ibadan and we sang and prayed in Arabic on Friday assembly but that never affected my Christian devotion and background. I don't know but I think it may be another means for fellowship as a nation but the situation in Nigeria is too serious

Gaddafithe2nd:

You should have used your energy against WAEC and JAMB. The two institutions have been conducting exams in Arabic studies for years. You guys should deal with it. Arabic is among the 5 recognised language in Nigeria. Go and learn it. Your fellow Christians in Europe and America are learning Arabic. The world is going global, languages is the hotcake in the world just like ICT. LOL...

CodeTemplar:
English and French is our lingua franca. Arabic is being snuck in. Even the people promoting it can't speak pure arabic.

BluntTheApostle:


I expected much from you. Come on, Ogorwyne, Arabic is a language just like English. Muslims and Christians alike speak it in the Arab world. I know many of you like to think of Arabic as an Islamic language but what many of you fail to understand is that Arabic predates Islam.

It is like when Latin was the official language of the Christian Church. It didn't mean that Latin was a Christian language. It was only favored because the structure of the Church as we know it today is largely rooted in Rome.

Just so you know, Palestinian Christians speak Arabic. They call God "Allah".

Aside the Arab Christians, there are other Christian groups who speak Arabic.

More than a quarter of the national football teams of France and Germany going to Russia are Muslims.

Dr. Raji Bello WROTE:

The Nigeria Police Force requested JAMB to conduct a recruitment test for its applicants with the instruction that the applicants should be examined in just one subject - English Language. JAMB accepted and set out to prepare the test. However, a small problem was encountered: JAMB's test software is configured to test candidates in four subjects and it won't load just a single test. So JAMB decided to load three dummy tests in addition to the actual test being conducted which is English Language. JAMB selected the three dummy subjects from its alphabetically arranged list - so it came up with three subjects starting with the letter A and they were Agricultural science, Arabic and Arts (fine). JAMB then gave clear instructions to candidates that only the English test should be taken within the 45 minutes alloted time as the other three were just dummy tests.

A few days after the test, CAN protested a "compulsory Arabic test" administered on Christians by JAMB and it called for the cancellation of the police exam or else... It viewed the test as part of the president's Islamisation agenda. The person who shared the allegation of compulsory Arabic test on social media and generated a frenzy was no other than Comrade Yinka Odumakin BA (Hons), former student union activist at OAU, former journalist at Punch and Guardian, noted human rights activist, former secretary Save Nigeria Group (SNG) former spokesman to Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), delegate at National Conference and now spokesman of Afenifere.

It's difficult to be optimistic about our country's future when some of the people that we celebtrate are no better than our least endowed citizens.#copied

ogorwyne:

Yeah Christians and Muslims speak it in the Arab world, no doubt. But in Nigeria it is not spoken or taught in our schools or used in our churches. It might be different for Muslims, maybe they study the language in their schools or in the mosque.

This is Nigeria, Arabic isn't a part of us, well except for those that seek to identify with the language. Just as I wouldnt expect the Arabs in their countries to write exams in Igbo, Idoma or Yoruba is the same way Nigerians shouldn't be subjected to such. That's unfair na.

obonujoker:


Is Nigeria an Arabic country??

BluntTheApostle:


That language would definitely be strategic. They are not forcing all the citizens to learn it.

Moreover, it is a widely spoken language and it would not be a bad idea for our police officers to be multilingual. It helps a lot.

Gaddafithe2nd:
Bishop go sit down jare. The great con man. Arabic is just a language just like French and English and all other natural languages. Moreover, your fellow Christians in the middle-east use Arabic language to worship. Nigeria government recognises 5 foreign languages which are; French, English Arabic, Chinese and Spanish. Always want to cause trouble with religion. NPF abeg carry on with the Arabic studies.
