Naira is depreciating and all they want is Arabic inscription. They might as well put that on any piece of paper.

Akintola shud hold his religious sentiments. He's talking trash. If English is known for christians, why is he making use of it as a muslim extremist. Nigeria is not an islam nation and shouldnt listen to that mouth odoured mallam called Akintola and his religious biggots. I don't even know how he acquired professorship a product of western education. Any attempt to islamise our nation will certainly takes us back jus like Afgan and pakistan.

We don't have Arabs but we have people who cannot read English text but can only read Arabic text.


So my brother in faith it does make sense returning the Arabic text.

Else we would ask for the removal of CROSS SIGN IN OUR HOSPITALS.

why was it inscribed initially? Nigeria is not an Islamic country, we have various people practicing different religion in this country.

I was happy when I didn't see it on the new 100# note.
its just like writing Jesus Christ on the naira note, not everyone is a christian.

this bigots had better gerrarahia.

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.”

TonyeBarcanista:
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.

This prof is wrong on two counts

(i) Removal of arabic letters from the naira started when Obasanjo was in power, not Jonathan.
(ii) Hausa language was written with arabic letters, and it has nothing to do with Islam

So the Prof should do research next time he wants to make serious allegations.

If the Prof is serious about presenting thus case, he should have looked in the area of presenting statistics of Nigerians who are unable to read English letters but Arabic - there could be a genuine case of not allowing a large percentage of Nigerians to be cut off financial transactions. Even that argument is embarrasing 55 years after independence.

You need to pick up your history book and learn that that those wars you mentioned were political, economical and were as a result of thirst for global dominance and not religious. In fact the arab countries had their allies during the world wars.

Vietnam war was a war against the evil of communism to establish democracy that they enjoy today.
