Gaddafithe2nd: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. Gaddafithe2nd: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. 3 Likes |

ogorwyne: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... |

ogorwyne: 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. 2 Likes |

BluntTheApostle: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. 2 Likes |

I am a Christian. 1. If Arabic is an islamic language, English is a Christian language - it came from the English, a predominantly christian people. 2. How can you complain of "Islamisation" when we declare in crusades and church services, that you want to win Nigeria for Jesus Christ; don't you see the hypocrisy of complaining of the same thing you're doing? 3. Who made these men our spiritual leaders? who appointed them and who witnessed these appointments and anointments? It seems to be a "spiritual leader" you need to have lots of churches... 4. We have had IBB who take us into the OIC, and Abacha who made sure the top posts were filled with his people; both were Muslim Military Dictators, who had the means to make this country Islamic against our will - how is Buhari going to achieve that in a democracy? and Trump as US President? 5. The majority of the people shouting Buhari wants to Islamise Nigeria, want him out of power - not to be replaced by a christian or an atheist or an idol worshipper but by another muslim (who they assure us, is not like Buhari that wants to Islamise Nigeria)....hmmmmm. They say one muslim wants to islamise Nigeria, but the muslim they want you to vote for, won't do the same, I am assuming that this islamisation agenda is even true oh. 6. The process of islamisation, if true, is not an 8 year event, heck, it took 400-600 years for Christian turkey (Asia Minor), middle-east and North Africa to become Islamic countries. And these involved a mix of warfare (muslims vs non-muslims), trade, inter-marriage and other factors. When your so-called spiritual leaders, beat the drums of war, remember they have private jets - you have none. When your politicians carry christianity on their head, remember when they were planning on how to loot - they were not disturbed by the religion of their co-looters. It is the masses that suffer when the bourgeoisie play their games. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

ogorwyne: Arabic is widely spoken. It can come in handy in dealing with extremism. French isn't part of us but it is becoming rather popular. Our indigenous languages are also being promoted. I thought I read news on FP about the three largest indigenous languages (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa-Fulani) being mandated as requisite qualifications for admittance in military institutions. |

I am surprised with all these CAN can of worms and their wailers and haters of Buhari, on the issue of Arabic language injection into Police recruitment training is obvious, if you look at the entire boundary wall of the Northern part of Nigeria they are made up of Arabic speaking language of Niger , Chad,and upper Cameroon Republic. And since most of these insurgents name it; Bokoharam ,Herdsmen ,Cattle rustlers and many other killer groups are majorally combining with their Nigerian counterparts and are usually interacting in Arabic and not in English language, government agency believes that with a little knowledge of Arabic words the police can easily trap them from the words coming out of their mouth but unfortunately the so called CAN can of worms are seeing it otherwise. To go back to history Obafemi Awolowo has for seen these happenings before when he said Nigeria don't even need more than fifty thousand military personnel in Nigeria and that all we needed was to have a very good diplomatic relationship with are border countries especially up North such that those border line countries will always be ready to ward off any intruder into the country. Awolowo said this but was not looked into. And what Awolowo said, if it were today the CAN can of worms and their wailers and haters would have said Awolowo wanted to Arabicalise Nigeria. 1 Like |

Gaddafithe2nd:The reason those two institutions you mentioned conduct exams in the language is for some people to at least have a pass na. We know how they perform in general exams. My fellow Christians in Europe and America are learning Arabic by choice. They can stop learning whenever they want to and nobody will force them not to. Their countries wouldn't be so foolish to have a general exam in Arabic. Even if something like that would ever happen (I doubt), I'm sure the citizens would be aware so they can be prepared and there would be a really good reason for that. 2 Likes |
