sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, i see nothing wrong in having Arabic inscriptions on our naira notes or national monuments. We Christians should be glad about it as it avails us the opportunity to study the Arabic language and we can also preach the gospel of our lord Jesus in Arabic language whenever we travel to the middle east. It's a win win for we Christians because before we realize, we would have won more souls for christ or we might decide to join Islam if we are tired of Christianity. Arabic language is a blessing in disguise sad

He should also sue FG for English language on navy logo. Because English isn't naija language
soloenzo:
A Nigerian lawyer and Human Rights activist Barr. Malcolm Omirhobo has Thursday sued the Federal Government, Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Army, Ministry of Defense and Attorney General of the Federation over the continuous Arabic inscription on the naira notes and the flag of the Nigerian Army without considering Nigeria to be a secular nation.

He is seeking a Federal High Court to interpret the provisions of Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He filed two suits.

The defendants in the suits are Central Bank of Nigeria, Attorney-General of the Federation, the Nigerian Army, as well as the Ministry of Defence.

Plaintiff is seeking a court interpretation whether by a community reading of Sections 10 and 55 of the 1999 Constitution, it is lawful and constitutional for the defendants to permit the Naira notes to be adorned with Arabic inscriptions.

In the same vein, the plaintiff is asking whether by a community reading of Sections 1(1)(3), 10 and 55 of the 1999 Constitution, it is proper for the defendants to permit the Nigerian Army logo to be adorned, or inscribed in Arabic insignia.

He is seeking a court interpretation whether by the true letter and spirit of Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution, Nigeria is a secular state without any official religion.

He wants the court to declare that it is  illegal, unlawful, and unconstitutional to allow the Nigerian Army logo to be adorned, and inscribed in Arabic language, instead of the official English language or Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo which are the three main languages or ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The defendants are yet to reply. The Court also is yet to fix a date for the hearing of the case.

Yes, we should also ask them why we have " God" in the national pledge since Nigeria is a secular country and not a christian country.

Is God a Christian word?

This lawyer no get work, maybe he should stand outside court looking for who want to swear affidavit. There is no Arabic on the naira and never was. There is Hausa, which was originally written in the Arabic script; and still is in many part of the North.

We should seek fame by doing something productive and uplifting to mankind.

So DUMB!

Arabic is DIFFERENT from ISLAM!

Even the bible has an ARABIC version.

Those words are the Naira arent 'Arabic' but 'Hausa' words spelt that way. Hausa's represent almost 50% of the country populace?

Who told you we all have to write things in English?
