pls do you all know the history of Nigerian army? the set of Nigeria army 74 or 73 in number are not just from the north, rather a junky of them are shuwa Arabs. logos and inscriptions all over the world for important things always reflect the contribution of the early birds. pls read wide before selling your ignorance. most thing in the European world still have Latin, Greek or Aramaic inscriptions, but they don't speak those languages as their official language.

Most Hausa don't even speak the language, it is however a scholarly language studied by few as you mentioned often Islamic clerics just as many Catholic priests may study Latin.

I personally don't care how butt-hurt you are, it is a member of the NA insignia and would stay forever

Are you serious? Are you God? How do you know Nigerian army will stand to defend nigeria as a whole? With this katakata everywhere abi you no day watch news? Please spare me that crap.
Butt hurt, bottom hurt, that one na English, I'm not even worried one bit.

Nigeria was colonised by Britain and not Saudi Arabia. Strictly your problem if you keen on harsh islamic theory, islam as far as I'm concerned won't rule, forget this agboju eye una day do, with arabic and islam, I assure you, it will go the way of dinosaurs soon. Wait till Biafrans do what they Wonna, then I would look at the emblem of Nigerian army and laugh at you biggest time.

everything to some people is politics in Nigeria. what is wrong in us having the logo what it is? If you think with your religion, you must have your way in everything in Nigeria, then you are not fair and you cannot realize your expectation. How would you see it if the Muslims too ask for holiday on Fridays to allow them go to mosque like you people do on Sunday? You diplomatically argue, mend and manipulate issues to favour yourselves rather than allowing God to have His way. We understand the basis of your question. ''no be today''

Muslims are the best of mankind!
God bless you.. yes, Muslim are the best of mankind and Islam is a religion of peace and the only accepted religion in front of Allah(God)..whether they like it or not.. we'll see/meet on judgement day

I don't just know how and why some Nigerians have time to discuss and argue over trivia issues. What do you want to say over some secondary schools and universities using Latin in their logo and moto ?
The truth of the matter is you hate Arabic because Qur'an which is the Muslims' holy book is written in Arabic.

I got banned the last time I talked about something like this.
Truth is bitter, who cares, we gotta say it.
Nigeria with its corruption and the Northerners who steal oil wells is called - Federal Republic of Nigeria and not Islamic State of Nigeria.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm a heavyweight Anglican and not a drooling and drowning muslim who waits for his prophet to instruct him to go and do jihad. Why didn't America use arabic to write in God we trust or britannia? Whats wrong In writing Victory belongs to God in English, I don't believe there is a problem with that.

One of the main reasons nigeria has a bad reputation outside is this islam whatever plus the corruption una by force on people.

Nigeria is not islamic republic. With all this wahala islam has brought on the world, no reasonable person would want to be part of the dent.

Got that? Whatever you say again, suit yourself.

Al mohammed preached peace, when he didn't get a congregation, he started beheading everybody around him.
If the same peace preached by ISIS and Muhammed is the kind you want to bring into nigeria, don't be offended, let's continue to be in war. Killing people who you didn't create with your own hands doesn't seem like peace to me. We are not stupĂ­d I hope you know?

Chilax,bro! It is not arabic language but aramic...just do a google search for the word 'aramic'

Arhamaic doesn't look like these to me.
Demons don't write from right to left. Arhamaic is a language used in Syria and Iraq, what is it looking for here? Oh I forgot, ISIS, radical islam. We don't need that rubbish here

Lord Lugard was a dictator and an egomaniac (he loved to twist history to suit his purposes). He rewrote history to make it seem like the final battle in the conquest of Nigeria was the defeat of the Sokoto Caliphate in 1903.

The British captured Sultan Attahiru's flag in the course of the battle. The flag had the inscription, "Victory is from God alone" written in ajami. The British kept the flag in a museum. The inscription was eventually used as the motto of the Northern Nigerian Army (before 1914). Lord Lugard eventually adopted the motto as the motto of the Nigerian Army at amalgamation in 1914 (when the army of the North and the South were merged).

Ajami is Hausa Language written with arabic script (just like you can write Yoruba with latin script).

If Muslims ask for holiday on Friday, it's not our business to argue about that they should ask for it if they are ready to bear the consequences of it.

Wrong, this shows you don't read (no offence) .
Islam has fought for everything to deal with Christians only that they fail every time. Want proof, I will show you here hold on

Nnabugwu8590:

My dear, your point is baseless in the sense that if you open your english dictionary, you will see thousands of Latin and Greek words there together with their meanings.
So, my questions are:
Who wrote the dictionary?
How many Arabian and Persian words are in the english dictionary?
Are the words Biology and Mathematics originated from english words?
Thanks as I await for your answers.
there are thousand of words that are of Arabic or persian origin in the English dictionary.eg assassin,algebra etc .you can check Google for further research.
