I have never been this critical about our armed forces logo not until I my attention was drawn to it by my colleague who is studying material science and explosive with me in NDA at PG level. At first I was like, its not possible but on a closer look, I couldn't believe what my eyes saw. My opinion is that that inscription should be removed...Nigeria isn't an Arabic nation, I doubt if most men and officers of NA know what such inscription means.
What do you make of this....what's your opinion?
Pls be objective!

jstbeinhonest:
I can remeber it was also on our national currency b4 i was removed sm yrs ago.
Though i understand majority of our soldiers are notherners,i still think it should be removed so has nt to increase d already huge religious mistrust.
That said,i dnt think there is any need 2 panic.
Besyds,islam is not d same as arabic.

Ahmed4002:


only if you know the meaning.
its just an inscription.

Make I translate for you so that zaka yi keep quiet op.

IbnSultaan:
At inception it was called the West African
Frontiers Forces, Royal Nigerian Military until
it later became the Nigerian Army. Military
sources disclosed that while the evolution in
nomenclature was going on, the core essence
of what became the Nigerian Army actually
evolved from the Northern Local Army

Adamsdelrio:
The truth is... Hausa owns Nigerian Army and most hausas practice Islamic religion.

dearpreye:


Any Nigerian should be able to easily read it without any interpretation from anybody whatsoever.

dearpreye:


And you think the above justifies the Arabic Writings on the logo of the Nigerian Army? Jesus Christ!

Ahmed4002:


I doubt if you know the meaning.

I will agree with you on this. However the following
should also be implemented alongside with your
suggestion:
(1) Removal of all Crescent and/or Cross signs in
all public Hospitals, Schools and other Government
Buildings and Document
(2) Declaration of Sundays and Fridays and not
Saturdays and Sundays as weekly resting days.
This could show that the Country is not been
Christianized as the present Saturday and Sunday
weekend do not allow non-Christian to have full
benefit of dedicated worshipping on other days.
Example of this is the Friday Service by the
Muslims and other days that might be for
traditional worshippers.
Alternatively, maybe we should scrap this weekend
stuff/ religious related holidays and do like they do
in developed countries, and workers get paid on
the basis of hours worked for. I can bet it, we
might be a more productive Nation.
NB: Please don’t hide your response on the basis
of "this what our colonial masters handed over to
us". Remember, that colonial were not here alone,
they came with the CRUSADERS otherwise called
MISSIONARIES.

You f**king i d i o r t! Always trying to set the nation backward with your primitive Islamic BS!

OrlandoOwoh:

I learnt that upto the early 1970's, Saturdays were working days. After much pressure from members of the Seven Days Adventist, who worship on Saturdays, Yakubu Gowon decided to make it a work-free day.

dearpreye:


Seriously, I don't care. I just want a sane and fair society. That's all I want.

Ahmed4002:

barcanista:
Maybe for the convenience of our muslim military officers.

disumusa:
80 percent of nigerian are muslim. Islam,french,english are all language adopted by nigeris govt.

dearpreye:


Trust me. Most times I choose to ignore. Other times the passion for equity and fairness overwhelms me I had no option than reply a few folks.

This isn't how serious nations are run.

And why shouldn't others easily read it? Make una dey support oppression and injustice. It will end one day.

Ahmed4002:


who doesn't know the moto of NA . victory only comes from God alone.

That's just what the Arabic inscription means also.
Why are you obsess with it for God sake.

dearpreye:


Sure. I'll drop a comment about it on the Facebook page of the NA. This isn't sensible. It's disgusting.
