Cultural chauvinism! Some people feel that because they have been in power for long, they can force down their beliefs on others. It will backfire someday..

Even though I've been a born again Christian of over 25 years, I think we Christians really need to let the sleeping Dog lie. I have been to several Arab nations on tourism and Evangelism and I can attest to the fact that Arabic remains one of the unique and outstanding languages on earth. What is the big deal in having Arabic inscriptions on Naira notes and Army uniform? Nigeria is a country of Muslim majority and due to their numerical advantage I think the Muslims deserve to have the Arabic as a national symbol. I mostly prefer to read my bible in Arabic language for better understanding despite being a Christian. The Muslims in this country have never complained of the fact that the national language is English. The Christian missionaries brough English language to Nigeria and our dear Muslim brothers easily accepted it without fuss. Why are we Christians trouble some unnecessarily? We Christians really to be careful not to cause a national disaster

doctorbabs:
Arabic is a language, if arabic is to islamized Nigeria that mean English as a language is a way of christianized Nigeria.

Sheriman:
Unnecessary Fuss here Nothing special in that.. Even if it was written in English what is the Significance? Will it turn the useless Nigerian Naira equal Euro, Pound Sterling or Dollar? Isreali Currency has Arabic written on it.. Jordan Saudi UAE currencies have both English and Arabic written on them

habymi:
hahaha wahala
if Arabic word on naira note is Islam then the English words on the naira note is of which religion?

Loveurneighbour:
The Christian missionaries imported English language to Nigeria and the Muslim brothers easily accepted it. So what's your problem?
Nigerians and hypocrisy!!

Empiree:
okay, all cross logos on hospital must be removed. Saturday and Sunday must be work days. We must change names of the week and months because they are names of roman Christian gods.

Coolgent:

Based on my observations learned Christians ain't fuss about Ajami on naira notes.
Only some selfish brats are complaining

RamessesIV:
Missionaries didn't bring english and english is not a Christian language that's a straw man

Bible was written in yoruba and Igbo,when lagos was a british colony newspapers were written in Yoruba

Any christian who claims English is same with Arabic is ignorant and also Nigeria is not a Muslim majority

Friend22:

Who is forcing you and who has forced you?!
Keep hallucinating

winningwinner:


I don't believe you're truly a Christian. Your style of writing betrayed you a whole lot. Do you want to tell me that English is the language of Christians? You need to go back to school...
When you impose Arabic or Ajami as you call it to a majority of people who do not have anything to do with it, what are you trying to achieve?
Is Arabic language any of Nigeria's languages? English is Nigeria's official language and does not make every Nigerian a Christian. Arabic is associated with Islam and cannot be forced on anybody's throat, please.

Isinweke:


Who be We?
Like I said, the South East and South South Nigeria have never had any business with Arabs, we had no business with them before the British came and join the Eastern and other part of Nigeria together.

Arabic is not part of our official languages, is it?

Temidayo9:

Stop being emotional. What was written in Arabic in both Army and our currency are all good. But Arabic never in all official language in our constitution, hence no need to used it to portray any good form of expression. Thanks

Then disjoint yourself.

Emir01 have no business with Rivers State, we know our boundary.

winningwinner:


Read between the lines again and see who is doing the forcing... When you attack someone for differing from your opinion, you're already trying to force him to believe what you believe... Having a strange language like Ajami in a collective heritage is tantamount to forcing a strange belief on others who have nothing to do with that belief...
English is not a Christian language, so don't make reference to that. If we are truly Nigerians, why do you introduce things that can bring suspicion and division?
Apart from English, the Hausa language, Igbo language and Yoruba language are there, as approved official indigenous languages. Use them to depict the unity of Nigeria. Do not forget to always use those things that will unite us rather those ones that bring division...
Wisdom is profitable to direct...

FriendNG:


Just to satisfy your bigotry? There is nothing like Plain and un plain Hausa.

Hausa is originally written using Arabic Alphabets. Later (not more than 50 years) it started using English Alphabet.

You are not in the moral position to tell anybody how it should be written.

You know nothing about it history and cannot determine what is plain and not plain

ransomed:


It is your generations that are werey jatijati.
Ekwensu. OLANIYI is your family name.

FriendNG:


You cannot decide for the Hausa. No where it's written that Hausa must be using English Alphabet. Beside English Alphabet is the newest form.

Emir01:


Nothing wrong with Arabic, travel up north to see their traditional institutions and take time to read history, millions from neighbouring countries do business with us. Nigeria doesn't stop in the south. Everybody is well represented. Arabic is a plus as far as am concerned. If you can't fight to remove English then stop shouting Arabic. You can also fight to remove Sharia court in the North because we don't have muslim majority in South.

RamessesIV:
Missionaries didn't,they promoted native language

winningwinner:


Your observations are false. What is Ajami doing in Nigeria's collective heritage? If you want a united country, use the language of the people. Is Hausa not the language of the north again? Why Ajami? That shows you have an ulterior motive...

Coolgent:


Oga 80% of northerners/Muslims can read Ajami unlike Hausa

Friend22:


Pettiness is seriously worrying you and anyone with this kind of shallow thinking.
Since you have been using the currency as anyone reject it?!
You people are so so shallow.
You looked through everything in Nigeria and he only thing you can see is an harmless script on a currency note?
I have never seen this kind level of stupid and redundant pettiness by so called educated people like you.
E no go better for the person wey put this stupid thinking for una head.
