All northern states will agree that Hausa is now their unified language and not Arabic again..........so Reno ,the Arabic on the naira has outlived it purpose.

What was written on the note was not Arabic but Hausa.

Reno should remember to tagged his wailing brother, FFK because he has twitted many rubbish on this.

First time Reno is making sense based on political/religion issues affecting Nigeria

Can u vouch those Hausa who now speak English want the Arabic inscription gone or the inscription should just be done with cos one or some inconsequential fool from Igboland feel so ?

potent5:
Okay. But now that the number of northerners who can read and write in English is greater, can we do away with it. It's usefulness is no more.


The last time I checked, Buhari and his brothers said there were more competent and educated people in the north than in any other part of the country as a result of which appointments have been lopsided in their favor.

CBN and Nigerian Army should do the needful.

kevoh:
Okay ,we have heard but is Arabic by chance an official language in Nigeria? If yes, leave it on the naira note, if not, remove the damn ugly inscription from our naira notes. We don't need it!

How many of the 50% Northerners can actually read and write Arabic?


By extension how many percent of Nigerians can reads Arabic?

You can see the reasons he gave , and that time hausa was more closer to Arab then , they accepted Islam first. Once migrated from northern Nigeria to mecca for hajj on land. Pls it's not a must you talk , learn how to gain more knowledge...just typing rubbish doesn't make you buoyant or outspoken

Hmmhmhm Hausa , was written not Arabic? Another imbecility virus in another Nigerian. That's why we never develop in this part of the word..

That was then, English reigns now, change should be constant .

Arabic is a Language and not a religion, Many christians speak Arabic as their only language, The Bible also as an Arabic version so i see no reason why christians should opose arabic writtens on currency of a country that is bordered with Northern African Arab, and conduct millions worth of trade with them

As it stands, most of the Rams , Camel , Donkeys and some breed of Goats we eat and use in Nigeria comes from Chad, Niger, Mali and even Senegal, and most of our grains like millet, white corn and wheat are also sold back to them

Obasanjo a Christian was the President that designed and minted N200 , N500 and N1000 and he included the arabic insription and translation of the denomination

Below is a picture of Bible written in Arabic, am sure if our Hypocrite Brothers see this now they would burn it

HOPE THEY ARE LISTENING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did u say almost all Muslims reads Arabic ?

U lied!!!

I can confidently tell u that less than 50% of Muslims reads and Understand Arabic

Thegeneralqueen:
Arabic is not our language hope you noooooo.....

English isnt also our language.
The country has more pressing issues than fighting over language on the currency...let love lead

Did u say almost all Muslims reads Arabic ?

U lied!!!

I can confidently tell u that less than 30% of Muslims reads and Understand Arabic

a muslim that cant read quran is most likely not a muslim, you learn arabic from birth at the "ilekewu"/ "Mosques" daily after school even Obasanjo admited to learning it at some point

Allah means God, so whats wrong in writting victory to God?

We cant they write it in English so that everybody will understand?

newsgerian:

We can they write it in English so that everybody will understand?

99% of everything about Army is written in english, so whats the big deal about the 1% arabic

Harrynight:



Now Why use a language that Over 70% of Nigerians do not understand on a national currency/emblem

As at when it was done, it was a widely spoken language. The bone of contention is that most people ascribe it to Islam.
