DMandingo:does it means Nigeria's major/recognised language is hausa apart from English? This doesn't portends a good omen; and this has started since inception of the country....No wonder we are experiencing issues now(cos they believe they are been shortchanged).SMH 1 Like |

The term Ajami (Arabic: ﻋﺠﻤﻲ ʿaǧamī ), or Ajamiyya (Arabic: ﻋﺠﻤﻴﺔ ʿaǧamiyyah), which comes from the Arabic root for "foreign" or "stranger," has been applied to Arabic alphabets used for writing African languages, especially those of Hausa and Swahili, although many other African languages were written using the script. It is considered an Arabic derived African writing system. The West African Hausa is an example of a language written using Ajami, especially during the pre-colonial period when Qur'anic schools taught Muslim children Arabic, and by extension, Ajami. When Western colonizers adopted a Latin orthography for Hausa, Ajami went into decline, and today is employed less frequently than the Latin standard orthography. However, Hausa Ajami is still in widespread use, especially in Islamic circles. Source: Wikipedia 1 Like |

smithsammy: No Sir. It is unfair to blame him. Somebody is preaching Jiharidism, somebody is sponsorship. Those are the people o blame. Like I keep asking, why do you folks blame Okukwu instead of Gowon? Biafrans fought a defensive war? Who did you blame in Libyan war? Gaddafi? |

If removing the Arabic writings will increased the value of our currency then it is a welcomed development, If not then this thread is a freaking waste of time! |

spywareczar: But the figures on the Naira (1,2,3,4) etc are also called Arabic numerals. You may want to remove those too and replace them with Latin Numerals (i,ii,iii,iv) 2 Likes |
