too bad, i typed quite a lot of things earlier

but anyway

@Mrmayor

I can now see that all you want to do is just turn twist every word and sentence to suit your belief.

Hausa is different from Arabic and Hausa is also different frm Neejay, We have got the best catholics in Nigeria,the best and the most recognised catholic members accross the world. if babangida took nigeria to IOC in 1986 why can't Obasanjo who is a renowed Christian Take Nigeria to the Christian commitee that is if there is any. don't forget we have CAN in nigerian and they are well represented accross the world.

The inscription on the note has nothing to do with Nigeria being an islamic country, It was obj that invented the 1000 naira note, should he have inscribed Latins and greeks to replace the arabic symbols to prove that its has nothing to do with Nigerian being an Islamic nation?

We ave got various humans,various belief,diverse background, Norms and Myth, If an hausa man go against the law why not see justice to it? why blame the entire country for a faction of the north having Sharia? the sharia thing wasnt forced on them in the first place and i tell you, if the next gov decides to remove the sharia, would it still change a thing? Call a spade a spade and stop turn twisting.

@ Hotangel and Chxta

Thanks for the wonderful peice. too bad i couldnt recollect all i have said earlier. I think my laptop is angry today but anyways we ll sort things out later on as i remember Cheesy

Maybe I should explain this simple issue a million times for it to sink into your head.  Nigeria is a secular country, according to the constitution.  The supreme law of the land..  Meaning, it is unconstitutional for the government to enroll in any religious based organization like the OIC.  The Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs can join the OIC, so can the Christian Association of Nigeria join any Christian based organization, if they choose to.  But, not the government of Nigeria.  The state cannot adopt any state religion, even if it is implied.

Mr Idekeson,

If i must comment based on the arguement then i think you are tha one whose head needs to be checked, its a clear arguement, rasie ur facts without insults! Damn Angry

If the military took nigeria to the OIC why didnt the Civilian Govt take it out of there if its a threat?  Why can't the supposed constitution refrain them from taking such step i.e if dt law truly exist.

From your last post, i see nothing and i mean not one word indicates that nigeria is an islamic nation and why manipulate on the section that intrest you from my post? what happened to the rest. Damn

some peoples arguments on this thread are totally narrow and extremely shallow. although i respect them as your thoughts and opinion i would want a situation where your point of view would have more depth to it. if u would permit me to think on the same line as urs. since the USA has "in God we trust" printed on their bill does that mean categorically that the USA is a religious country or worse still a christian country.

information energizes! if u could come up with better reasons or arguments to support your point of view u never know i might join u in convincing the length, breath and height of nairaland that nigeria is an islamic country.

 @Only some one like Afeni can post such a topic as this, I'm sure he must be GREEN with envy at people more knowledgeable than him!!
There is no where written or otherwise that say that green and white are the colors of islam.
Green signifies nature and white signifies peace if Islamic countries want to adopt that as their flag so be it.

 Afeni please stop being a GREENhorn go get educated!!!!! Tongue

What about black for oil? That seems to be the only thing we produce these days. Red for all the Niger Delta and religious cartoon palaver.

I believe you came up with this based on land mark. In the north, there are  lots of Christians. When you go down to the West, it is divided between the two but I believe there are more Christians. In the East there are hardly anyone into islam, at least I know only 0.01% of Igbos  are Islam,  go do the maths. Pretty simple. That statistics you provided  is more like something out of Time Magazine,

I'm sorry to say Afeni and mrmayor, you guys are talking out of your @$$e$ again as usual.

I think you've already been told the origin of the flag so i won't go into that, its another stupid attempt by afeni to sow his seeds of hatred

even if we were to agree that the colors were 'musilm' ( what an extremely stupid notion) when did Nigeria join the OIC? wasn't it during babangida's era?

i'm sure you'll now say it was a conspiracy that started right from the point the flag was chosen. some people will say whatever bull$hit is required just to

butress their warped opinions

i'm sure you'll find some warped logic to justify sooner or later

Hot-Angel,

You stated that Huasas have their own language and only use Arabic for religious teaching,you are somewhat correct but you failed to mention that almost all Muslim Children go to religious Schools called Madras's.Where they are taught the Koran in Arabic.We have come to know words like Aboki,Sanu,Araba,Kano,Mallam are all Hausa words both spelt out using English Alphabets.
Words like Mohamed,Abdul,Bin Laden are Arabic Words also spelt words using English alphabets.The logic is this, if you can write Hausa words with alphabets everyone can understand,why write it with Arabic words only those who got Koranic Education could understand?

You stated Nigeria has to recognize we have Muslims,I agree

I recognize Muslims for riots in Jos 1945=Death toll over 500 people
I recognize Muslims for Araba riots May 1966=Death toll,in the thousands
I recognize Muslims for the Pogrom that follow July 29 1966 Coup= Death toll Half A Million People
I recognize Muslims for using Starvation as a Weapon Of Mass Destruction.= Death toll 2 Million People
I recognize Muslims for the scores riots and slaughter in the North,Sharia,Arabic on Naira Notes,Arabic on Nigerian Army Flag,stealing of over $300 billion from the Niger Delta,and don't forget taking Nigeria into the Terrorist Club,OIC.

All these Atrocities were all committed under the Christian Designed,Peace and Agriculture,GREEN AND WHITE FLAG

Enjoy

Please can you provide evidence how my statements are inaccurate? Which one is wrong?

Nigeria's membership of OIC,Sharia,Danish Cartoon and Miss World Massacres,the Pogrom that followed the Captains Coup of July 29 1966,Arabic on the Naira note and the flag of the Army?Even when nobody is an Arab in Nigeria?The Asaba Massacre of male children by Multalla Mohamed during the Civil War?

Please specify the ones that are wrong and I would correct myself accordingly.

WOW! U really don't get it do you?

Now LISTEN CAREFULLY! The Arabic WORDS are not meant for hausa people! There are muslim yoruba, and muslim igbos.

The arabic words aren't for hausa people. get it to ur head. I sometimes wonder why people think hausa people are the only ones who understand 'arabic' in Nigeria.

And AGAIN, Not EVERYONE can understand hausa. Just because u know was 'sanu, and lafiya, and ina kwana" is don't mean u understand hausa.

U know what, i just realise something. U don't want to learn! And u just Cook up stuffs u call 'facts'.

if u can open ur mouth and say everyone understand hausa, i think that just tells me that i need to shut up. Because i smell ignorance.

Hot-Angel,

Did I cook up the fact that half a million people were killed from 29 July 1966 to the beginning of the Civil War?
Did I cook up the fact that Nigeria used starvation as a weapon,Sharia,OIC etc

I never stated that everyone understood Hausa,I stated we have come to know about words like sanu,mallam because its written with English alphabets.

There is no need to get carried away,you believe in One Nigeria no doubt.I have kept my post factually correct and free from insults.
If you have facts about Nigeria I don't know of please do share.

Cheers
