sorry1: DEFINITION of 'NGN (Nigerian Naira)' http://www.investopedia.com/terms/forex/n/ngn-nigerian-naira.asp Even the word "Niger" is not indigenous. As I have observed elsewhere, the word "Niger" is actually a Greek imposed Latin name, which means "Black" or “very dark brown”. Needless to point out that the word "Area" is English. http://www.gamji.com/nowa/nowa104.htm The symbol of the Naira(our currency) is from Latin and for some reson, you are not drawing any religious sentiments to it. This country got its name from the Niger River. The name "Niger" is derived from Latin but you are not raising am objection cos it fits your religious bigotry and program. Save yourself further embarrassment. CC @smellymouth 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Even Federal Universities in Nigeria have Latin words as their motto; Probitas doctrina, ad sic astra and many more So, just like Latin is a Language, Arabic is also a language. The Nigerian Army using it doesn't mean the army is Islamized as most people think. Would you have complained if it was written in Latin? 1 Like |

temitope277: Grasping at straws are you? Please if the Naira can be derived from Latin which is associated with Christianity, why are you fretting about another insigna from Arabic which is associated with Islam? Infact, I think traditionalists should protest this. It is not fair, Sango and Amadioha need to be represented too 5 Likes 1 Share |

The flag is like anything else in this country-a legacy of colonial rule bequeathed unto the Nigerian State by the colonial masters. From what I read sometime ago,it was the battle flag of the Sokoto Caliphate that existed between the early 19th c. and 1903. The arabic inscription was also the motto of that defunct Caliphate's Army. From what I read,the Brits saw no need to do away with and it has passed on to us this day. |

Mynd44: Your response is wrong sir, and that is either due to mischief on your part or ignorance of the issue at hand. If you do not know that every action of the northern oligarchy is directed at a long term strategic goal which is to dominate the minorities then you need a few pointers in contemporary Nigerian politics. The arabic inscription is there because the northerners believe that the army is their province and property and also it serves as a small step in their (unrealistic) agenda to islamize the entire country. There is also an arabic inscription on the naira note for the same reason but... #God pass them 7 Likes |
