I do believe Hausa is a lang... Has its own word spellings... I support this move, however, if we still have Yoruba and Igbo inscriptions on these notes, It would also make sense to have words written in Hausa... But not Arabic!!!

The essence of the currency is for people to use it, if you make it difficult for a good part of the people it is meant for to identify and use it, then you have only proven to be myopic.

I also find it funny that the opponents of the Arabic script are motivated by hate and to a lesser extent fear. Removing the scripts will not change their fear or reduce their hate. I find it amusing as a result.

It will be a great mistake if goverment alow religious iscription on our naira,it does not matter the way you see it, Nigeria is a seculer state so what ever that is done by federal goverment must be void of religious undertone.and again looking at the level of violent islam has introduced in the world, it will rise serious questions if a goverment like ours with what boko haram is doing in Nigeria will tellor any national emblem or curency to identify with islam, He whose brother or sister is dancing naked in the market square will cover his face in shame,He who share boundry with mad men must not sleep with his two eyes closed.who want to identify with this insane religion.
Good talk bro.

Most Hausa would probably learn Ajami before english, most no english at all!

Leaving the Ajami on the naira would preserve the writing system from extinction!

Quite true.

Most parties for and against the Ajami script are driven by naked sentiments. Ajami is not as popular as you think it is up north. I think the only time I saw any Ajami script was a Zamfara? state government calendar and it was in English and Ajami. If Ajami was very popular as you may think it is, Daily Trust the fiercely pro-north newspaper would publish it's Hausa Newspaper Aminiya in the Ajami format. Likewise all the 'Soyaya' Hausa literature are written in the Latin script.

I think the Ajami has outlived it's usefulness on our currency as less an less people are literate in it. I agree with you 100% that the form of writing ought to be preserved.

All ye pro latin and pro arabic folks lets come to a compromise. Let's go for the Nsibidim script. it's truly Nigerian in origin.

Hmm naija!

Must everything be viewed from ethnic and religious lens?

How does the removal or inclusion of the said Islamic inscription affect the current high exchange rate of the naira?

How many people notice or even know about the inscription?

Now, all of sudden it has become an issue...

O di egwu o.

Regardless of the bigot laden statements so far on the thread, this remains the main reason why Ajami was used on the naira note, CAN is really working though, through ignorance,it is raising the next generation of lord resistance army fighters, who rather than demand good governance would prefer finding new fronts to fight Muslims. Any nation where people put bigotry and fanaticism before tolerance is doomed to be stagnated.

I wonder what point exactly you are fronting. The writer himself acknowledged the fact that the Ajami language was far understood in our country (and I ask by a popular majority or just a sect?) before English language. Now the question is, what significant role those it play today seeing that those who were thought to understand the language currently have Lil or no idea about it anymore? More over, the Nigerian currency ain't supposed to be a foreign currency. It's for me and you. So, if I can't read the script on it and my neighbor also can't, it is useless. Any other Nigerian language can be there but a foreign language? A big NO

Nigeria has more than 200 languages, Every group should have their language inscribed on the naira notes, is time for the north to know and accept the truth that they are not the owner of Nigeria, no body is ready to follow them and go back to the stone age of the Arabic people

@bolded that is the point! Just because they aren't comfortable with the Arabic inscription doesn't means it should be removed. In the same currency all the other languages are written signifying the worth of the naira e.g Nàírà Méwàà, Naira Iri and Naira Goma. Notice both the Yorubas and Igbos write in Latin alphabet. If the Hausas preferred to write their language in Arabic alphabet why stop them?

No ethnic group wrote the naira. Each ethnic group is represented in English.

The minorities should be the ones complaining that they're not represented, not some foreign language from the middle east. The arabic isn't our language, so let's dump it.

Can this really be true about our Armed Forces shocked
IF true that may partly explain why the soldiers find it difficult to eradicate the Boko Haram TERRORISTS angry

Meanwhile I guess this brief re-introduction of Arabic unto our Naira notes is the legacy of the former Chief Imam of CBN who is now Emir of Kano.

How come majority of what dis govt does divides "christians" and Muslims d more?

This is a cheap political move.
He has realized dat kneeling at d alter in redeem camp will not work dis time hence d move to placate supposed "christian" south with d design of d new N100 note without Arabic inscriptions.

Merely going for and against it here is victory for this selfish move.

Let's unite, keep our eyes on the ball and usher in leadership that will better the lots of our children's children.
