everything to some people is politics in Nigeria. what is wrong in us having the logo what it is? If you think with your religion, you must have your way in everything in Nigeria, then you are not fair and you cannot realize your expectation. How would you see it if the Muslims too ask for holiday on Fridays to allow them go to mosque like you people do on Sunday? You diplomatically argue, mend and manipulate issues to favour yourselves rather than allowing God to have His way. We understand the basis of your question. ''no be today''

Muslims are the best of mankind!

I don't just get what their frustrations is rily about. They seems threatened by anything Islamic or arabic,childishly thinking they can sort out Islam from the nation.

One thing have come to realise about this people is that they actually talk before they thing,thereby leaving a huge dirt from hypocrisy.

@all, relax, breathe and ..... exhale. It's all wrong.
Whether it's Arabic or Hausa it is wrong. The NA is the Nigerian Army not the Northern Army ((unless we're missing the subliminal message).

For those comparing it to Latin, countries with European heritage are free and proud to use it as it is a reflection of their past glory after all. That Africans use it, is just another thing we copy without context or thought.

Unless particular squadrons have mottos in Yoruba, Igbo, Ibibio, etc, having a motto based on the language from a particular part of the country or Arabia is wrong and divisive. It should be based on the agreed lingua franca. (see I'm doing it too) tongue.

The problem is bigger. Africans need a reset. Just wait for the Jesus/Allah brigade to come and complete the comedy show and you'll see what I mean about how lost we are. cheesy grin

OK so you know, 1914 was the amalgamation year and before then the Brits have been here and English was the language they used in communicating with our fore fathers so before 1914 we were speaking English as a unifying language

The phrase LINGUA FRANCA is indicative of an OFFICIALLY accepted language. OFFICIALLY here represents THE LAW. Therefore, it is constitutional. Therefore it is in the CONSTITUTION.

Prior to 1914, there is no proof of the language being constitutionalised. It merely eased communication at the time.

Don't make assumptions.

The logo is Arabic so wat? Has it stopped any religion or tribe from becoming COAS. If u put Latin there fine they'll be happy even though it is not our official language too. When will u stop being threatened. Get an open mind.

English Language also contain Arabic and Persian words. The motto of UI and UNILORIN are pure Latin.can we also ask Nigerian authorities to change it to English since we don't speak Latin in Nigeria.Latin is linked to the roman catholic church.

tmotmo: 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.

Guy,this one isnt latin but arabic or should i say hausa arabic

Likewise it is not a language literately spoken in Nigeria, however it holds rank as one of the ancient languages of the human race. We could have used Latin and the result would be same.
Re: Meaning Of The Arabic Word On Nigerian Army Logo by Nobody: 8:21am On Dec 13, 2015
The moslems on here are just trying to be evasive and mischievous with the question, why do you think so many of them were enraged when the Arabic inscriptions were taken off the centenary 100naira notes, some even vowed never to accept the money, assuming those inscriptions were meant for those that couldn't read back then like you folks are claiming, now might just be the right time to take them off.
