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

now Since majority don't understand it, isn't it useless?

BuhariAdvocate:
Still this one can't comprehend. Someone should help translate to igbo .

Lol... Hatred and wailing are her/his watchword.

Daft Brains everywhere!

Then d Senate should raise a bill to review it ASAP, I even want it to be reviewed. But crying about islamization agenda is unnecessary.

NORTHERN NIGERIA IS ALWAYS TAKING US BACK both economically and otherwise.

They are always ready to cling to southern Nigeria even though the southern part shows less interest in associating with them.

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

Are you not supposed to learn English before you join the army ?
Why will they write it in Arabic ? If they must write it in other language why not Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba? Is Arabic among our official language ?
Is it Northern/ Muslim / Arabic Army?
Or it’s called the Nigerian Army ?


By writing victory belong to Allah in Arabic , how does that differentiate you from Boko Haram ?

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

Arabic is our language, ask of kanuri tribe if you dont know. They are more nigerians than you.

This is why history should be reintroduced into the school curriculum

We are in Year 2020!

tribalmall:
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 ?

How many Hausas muslims truly speak Arabic and can communicate in Arabic? I'm not talking of cramming Quranic verses in Arabic and regurgitating same when praying. Unfortunately, I don't wish to continue this conversation with you as the other part of your comment already shows the kind of person you are.

kevoh:


Arabs didn't make them, Indian mathematicians did. Those numerals originated from India and were adopted by Arabs who in turn brought that style of writing to Europe by Arab merchants. You asked us to google these facts, maybe you should take your own advice.

Hmm! Indians made them, but they were adopted by Arabians, that's why they are being called Arabic numerals, right? Why NOT Indian numerals

Please, what do you smoke

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

There's no God but allah, does that statement rings a bell to you? Why do muslims say that?

many American instituition despite speaking english have latin moto, how about that? .. language doesnt make you a terrorist your crimes and ideology does

saaron:

because Muslim believe in oneness of God, and the real phrase loosely translate from Arabic as There is no god but He

Some stupid Christians would now said honorable RENO commit a hate speech

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.

potent5 first do away with the Arabic numeral '5' on your monika and we will know you are serious.

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

.

so if its just a language why is it on our currency when it isn't spoken as a lingua franca

That's what killings them

if you read my comment you would ask this question, because i highlighted the economic benefit of such

That was then not now,the 3 major languages should be inscribed on the notes.

Like someone said above that's not even among the 1000 pressing issues we currently battling.

If it's not an issue pressing us, why are you guys agitated?

You're wrong. Allah is a name, the name of islam god. While the name 'god' is used to represent any god that people worship be it hindu, budism, Christianity or traditional worshipers. If god represents any god in the world's religions, why do muslims say ''There's no god but allah''? That's a direct statement that the name 'god' does not represent allah.

Allah(arabic) means God (english) in arabic, illah means god(diety), in hebrew God is Elah El ilah... God is simply an english word for supreme being, what you serve as followers of abraham is YHWH or Yahweh.. Same way hebrews dont have anything called Jesus as it is a latin word, but they have Yeshua

Is English your language ?

madridguy:
Tagged or write the British Government.

. But English is your Language BA ? Hypocrisy

okay reno now we know that d British created this problem for us ..

Reno! All this because of a yet to be disclosed fabricated lie you're cooking up which you're preparing to shock Nigerians with. For Reno to now want to use this piece to persuade us to lift the ban of a serier lier on him would not be possible. No matter what you're still a lier. However thank for the information
