when has Nigeria become an Arabic or Islamic state? Its totally wrong for a country as diverse (in all wise) as Nigeria to have such inscription on its Army's logo. How many Nigerians can even interpret the meaning of that? what purpose does it serve there??

Buruntashi Buratai should answer all of the above questions before I provoke

''Nasran minallah''

Didnt you know that Arabic is the most spoken language in Africa?

''Recte sapere fons'' thats the inscription on UI logo. What does it mean hw many people kno what it means? Is it english

I am sure if the writing is in french or spanish nobody would have complained. Which shows your level of hatred for arabic as a language with no just cause.

Nigeria was colonised by the Brotish not Arabs for goodness sakes.

English is our official language in this country and English ought to have been used to write any inscriptions pertaining to our military.

Gosh!!!

OP try and learn. The Arabic script has been there even before Burutai was born.
Nasrunminallah meaning Victory Comes From God Alone

This particular motto was inscribed on the banner under which the Nigerian indigenous forces battled against the invading colonial forces. It symbolizes the fact that the Nigerian Army stands to defend the territorial integrity of the country at all times. The motto was formerly that of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio, head of the Sokoto Caliphate. Contrary to what many think, the inclusion of the Arabic motto was not done singlehandedly by General Muhammadu Buhari (now president) or by northern elders but by the British.

The original reason for Arabic was that Frederick Lugard (who was the first Commander of the West African Frontier Force (1897 – 99) and later the first High Commissioner of Northern Nigeria (1899 – 1906); and later the Governor of the protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria (1912 – 1914); and finally the first Governor General of post-amalgamation Nigeria (1914 – 1919 ); identified Arabic the only written “indigenous” language anywhere in Nigeria/West Africa, particularly among the widely spread Hausa trader class across the region. (See Lugard report to Parliament, 1919) Arabic inscriptions were, therefore, used as symbols, not only for currency but even on official West African Frontier Force badges etc… which persist until today in Nigerian Army badges etc…

Defeat comes from Satan, right?

Soludo did well to remove the ones on the naira. These people plan na to islamize Nigerians silently.

Nigeria was setup by the Westerners(Brittish) so whatever we do must be in the western style and language.
