It is there. Check well at the bottom of 200 and 500 notes etc.
Arabic text but is Hausa language not Arabic
Language why some people have Slave mentality English is not our father language
Can America or Britain write Hausa ibo yuruba or any African language why African doesn't value them self

Buhari refused printing 100 naira note for years because Goodluck Jonathan removed Arabic inscription from it when he (Goodluck) did centenary note for Nigeria.

That's why the country was littered with dirty 100naira notes all through Buhari's first regime

Sadly it's a failed cause , and why are Christains threatened by the Arabic inscriptions
There's English , Igbo, Yoruba ,Hausa and Arabic on the currency
Why tickle your butthole over Arabic
Are they forcing you to speak it?

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.

Olodo! God is not a religious word. There are other christian names for God, which include Jehovah, Elohim, Yahweh, etc. So, educate yourself before typing .....

From comments concerning this topic which are against the lawyer, are from a particular region and their statements are full of vulgar. Yet they will accuse others of hate, meanwhile they are very fanatical in their approach to life. What is the essence of Arabic on our notes? If not for a religion to feel they have conquered others
Arabic is a language not religion... there is Arabic bible... this case is a dead one...the lawyer just want to be famous

. I disagree with that.

Allah is a particular diety in islam worshipped by the muslims. The God Christians worship is the Almighty creator of Heaven and Earth and everthing in them.

Shallow response. God is God. Allah, Jehovah, Elohim, Oludumare, Chineke... and all. Whatever you call does not matter but those who call Him Allah know who they are referring to. You can't tell them what you think it is.

Kbs468:

The point is even that the meaning of the said inscription is in Hausa language but in Arabic writing

Because of the the uneducated population in English alphabetical text but who could read the Arabic text from Islamic knowledge of the text

Eg 500 Náírà written in Hausa language but with Arabic text or lettering as you may want to call it

Be it as it may, you'll agree with me that those people that unscripted it there did so to please a particular race.

Please try and get it, the lawyer was making his point based on official language , why are you bringing in religion when it has nothing to do with official language?

Let me lecture you! Nigeria's official language is English language. And our three major ethnic languages are Yoruba, igbo and Hausa. If there is a foreign language on Nigeria's currency, its citizens wouldn't know its translation cos it's not a recognized language in the country. Hence, languages that are not recognized and official shouldn't be on Her currency.
God on the other hand is a universal word that can have a space in the national anthem cos it's a word that's recognized in Nigeria, unlike Arabic language that's not.

Assignment :
1. Why would the Nigerian currency have Arabic writing on it when Arabic is not a language recognized in the country with respect to religion being an exception?

2. What makes you think God shouldn't be in the national pledge of Nigeria when God is an official Language to every Nigerian cos it's an English word?

3. Is your username Super Pack or Hungry Man size ?

pesty100:
this is clarification seeking and not attention seeking, it is specifically written in our constitution that English is our official language. To put Arabic inscriptions on our currency when the constitution doesn't recognize such needs clarification, wouldn't you agree?

don't take it personal ...wat do you think about the idea of changing our weekend from Saturday and Sunday to Thursday and Friday ...because the former is base on European Christian standard ??

Leave that talk. Arabic is the major language for Islam. And those opposing the lawyer are mostly northern elements and at large from a particular religion. We can't continue living in lies and deception

Adam1990:
The reason for the Arabic inscription on Nigerian currency was due to the fact that when the colonial came to the northern region they met the majority of the people there were literate in Arabic language I.e they schooled, communicate and transact using the Arabic alphabets,that's why when introducing the official currency or medium of exchange they decided to include the Arabic for the simple understanding and also inclusiveness of the average northerner which also aid in their objective of amalgamating the southern and the noryhern protoctorate.

Even as at today majority of the Muslims in northern part can read and write in arabic as most of them attend Islamic school since from childhood.

Thanks for this explanation, how about the military?

Kudos to the Lawyer.

Yeah! Like How do I know the motto of the Nigerian army as a Nigerian when I was never an Arabic student and I am neither a Muslim.

This is one of the reasons development is far away from Nigeria. One region or Religion belives Nigeria belongs to them so they can misbehave.

Terrible!
