I do agree that arabic is a language and is akin to Islam.
But the arabic meaning on the note is simply translating hausa tribe which is the lingua franca in the north.Majority of the people who stay in the villages cannot read in English but in arabic.For example, twenty naira means Naira Ashirin in hausa which is translated as نايرا العشرين in arabic....this does not mean Islam.It only aid our locals to read and know the value of any new note printed.

But if hausas and yoruba Muslims prefer it written in arabic,I expect other igbos and yoruba xtians tell to the gvt so that the inscription on the note in yoruba and igbo shud be written in hewbrew...

Adolf Hitler is not a terrorist,he is an over ambitious person with bad intention of rulling the world.Hitler declared war and he was ready to engage anybody in field war,it is different from sambisa,afghanistan,yemen,al shabab etc mode of terrorism.Both are bad but hitler is ready to engage all commers to free fight.Hitler was overpowered because he was not doing suicide bombing and hide,he was an expansionist and power drunk.

I would have waved aside your question but i have to answer it for you to understand some basic truth.Europeans are not religious,Europeans are not religious fanatical.Now in a layman explanation,Muslim countries will never give nationality without the the applicant conversion or change his name to comform with arabic names,it is also very very rare if not for a specific gain.You can see a westerner with a xtian name and he never believe there is God or he can be a muslim,budhist,please tell me if this is the case in arab countries.European will never kill for the sake of a religion.I am talking from experience,i think you can go on and do your findings.To directly answer you,Adolf hitler might have been a pagan,don't judge europeans by their names.They practise homo which a basic non european xtian considered a sin.

Highlighted.

I agree with you that majority of the people in the north of Nigeria cannot read English language - but place more premium on Arabic things - 55 years after Nigeria's independence;

but take note: majority of people in the old southeast region can read English, increasingly place more premiums on Western values - 55 years after Nigeria's independence;
so why then must both groups so different from each other remain FORCED together in One Nigeria?

You are not fooling anybody anymore. It's no point suggesting to have Hebrew written on Naira to please the Christians. Jews are not even Christians.

The only good suggestion is to have north of Nigeria whose majority chose Arabic language and sharia criminal laws to have a new country. Let the SW decide what its people want - whether to join north or to have a Yoruba country.

Nigeria can never form a nation. Commonly Shared value systems are the pre -requisites for nationhood. In the case of Nigeria, the value systems of the three major ethnic groups vary a lot. It is easier to have France, Germany, and Spain to form a nation, than to have Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani and Igbo to form a nation. [/b]

 National news

 02 October 2015

As Nigeria celebrate her 55 Independence anniversary on Thursday, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the Federal Government to immediately return the Arabic Ajami script removed from the nation’s naira notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Director of MURIC Prof. Isiaq Akintola made the call on Wednesday in his independence anniversary message to felicitate with the government and Nigerians.

"We call for the reinstatement of the Arabic Anjami which was removed from the naira by the last administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan after subterranean pressure from some unpatriotic religious leaders. Nigerian Muslims regard the removal as an act of hostility taken to spite Muslims. We consider it as a step taken to satisfy a section of Christians who had been secretly agitating for the removal of Arabic graphics from some official emblems used in Nigeria.

“We see the removal of Arabic from the naira as absolutely unnecessary and an action taken by Jonathan to spite Nigerian Muslims. We hereby state without any fear of contradiction that the use of Arabic as part of the graphics on our emblems does not in any way portray the imposition of Islam or its landmarks on Nigerians. This is so because Arabic stands parri pasu with English graphics wherever the former is used. “English graphics represent Westo-Christian civilisation while Arabic graphics symbolise Islamic culture. Those who insist that Arabic must be removed from our emblems nurse an agenda of domination by elimination,” Akintola said.

He said that whoever insists on the removal of Arabic Anjami from the naira and from other emblems must accept the equal removal of English graphics from the same materials, adding that after all English is the language of the Bible as it is known in Nigeria and it is on the nation’s naira and all other emblems.

He added: “By the way, apart from massaging the ego of Goodluck Jonathan and satisfying the narrow interest of Muslim-haters, what has Nigeria gained from removing Arabic from the naira? We appeal to the Federal Government to redress this wrong.”

Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

I got the hint about this 2 months back. and it's coming from the presidency.

The equivalent of arabic for christians is hebrew. The so called prof is ignorant. This is the kind of crystal clear ignorance that gives Christianity an edge over islam. He even thinks it was done to spite muslims.

And worst still, it is terrible to cohabit with people who can't tell the differences between politics their acquired foreign religions that have eroded their culture and sense of humanity.

I dont mean to attack your religion bro. But for every rule there is an exception or a reversal. Therefore, it is logical to use the action of a reasonable majority to judge the whole. Let us look at the 'majority' of islam. Look at the regions where islam is popularly practiced. The middle east, Northern Africa, Northern Nigeria. Is there peace?? How do they treat their women?? Would you describe them as violent?. It is therefore reasonable to say that you are an exception. The majority make you look bad!

Talk please.
Call them by their name, they are FOOLS!

Arabic language isn't an indigenous language in Nigeria and does not serve the same purpose as our lingua franca - English. Their argument of the bible holds no water. Bible was first written in Hebrew and a few portion in Biblical Aramaic. Early translation was to Greek and from then to English so as to gain wider readership.
It is nobody's fault that the didn't think of translating Koran to English until lately.

And btw, are there only two religions in Nigeria
MURIC members calling for the return of 'ajami' are crazy.
[an-Nasa'i ]
On the authority of Uqbah ibn Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Your Lord delights at a shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives the call to prayer and prays. Then Allah (glorified and exalted be He) say: Look at this servant of Mine, he gives the call to prayer and performs the prayers; he is in awe of Me. I have forgiven My servant [his sins] and have admitted him to Paradise.

This man was supposed to be a Professor but unfortunately, he's exhibiting so much ignorance.

1. The Languages of the Bible are Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages. English is but translation to serve speakers of English language. In Rome, their Bible is the Latin translation; In Spain, it is the spanish translation. In Arabic Countries, Christians use the ARABIC translation of the Bible. In Nigeria, while English translation is mostly used in urban areas, most rural areas use their local dialect translation. English is not,was not and has NEVER been the language of Christians or the Bible.

2. English language is one of the official Languages in Nigeria and the language of business. Government transact businesses in English language. Arabic is not, was not and has never been our language. Hence, there is NO reason for arabic inscription to be on national symbol, neither is there any reason for Jewish or roman inscription to be on our national symbol.

3. The man and his group are only blowing hot air. Buhari MUST not restore the arabic inscriptions but instead he should remove the arabic inscription on our military emblem. This has nothing to do with anti-islam or pro-christian.

You quoted out of context,

adding that after all English is the language of the Bible as it is known in Nigeria
