I’m tired of you people. Go and google how the British dominated and took over the empires in Nigeria. Go to school you will not, read you will not. Vote you will not. Build your community, you will not. Your work yahoo, lack of morals and criminality. Come online and talk rubbish with your 2% knowledge. I tire for this country.

Can you tell us why we use Chancellor, Dean (All Christian terms) in our Universities Instead Of University President and Faculty Chairman as obtained In Western Countries?

Can you tell us why we use Minister instead of Secretary Or Ministry Instead Of Department? Can you tell us why some Nigerian Institution use Greek/Latin (Original langiges of Bible) Words On Their Badge Instead Of English or Our Local Language.

ignorant and stupid Christians like you and all who liked your comment are one of the problem we're having, your victim mentality and inferiority complex is disgusting.

The cross on our health logo doesn't mean anything, the fact that Sunday is a public holiday and Friday is not is not a form of Christianization, the fact that we're using Georgia calendar and not Islamic calendar is okay, the fact that most primary and secondary schools in the south sing praise and worship on the assembly from Monday till Thursday regardless of the religion of the students is fair.., you feel it's normal once it favor Christianity but abnormal if it's other religion.

Islam was spread in the north through jihad while Christianity was introduced in the south through slavery. The latter can be forgotten but the former can be referred to as the motive as soon as you perceived that things are in their favor not yours. You people are pathetic.

I made mention of the star of David because that was the defense and justification of David Akpode Ejoor (the Christian soldier that designed the logo) for having an arabaic/ajami inscription on the logo. But The truth is that both the star and the inscription was both adopted into logo for an entirely different reason which is way different from what you ignorant religion bigots are interpreting it to be.


Page 16 of his autobiography has details...

" In the colonial days, the cap badge of the army was a palm tree. This could be interpreted to represent the wealth of the country which the British were to exploit. For that reason, the palm tree had to go. Besides, the Action Group party had a palm tree as its symbol, and it was important that the army and a political party should not have the same symbol. My job was to seek a new meaningful design for the cap badge of the Nigerian Army. I set to work." "In seeking a new design, I was anxious that the symbol should reflect the duty of the army and should be capable of inspiring officers and men. As I searched, I remembered the battle between the British and the Sokoto forces in 1903. At that battle, the Sokoto forces had carried the Sultan's flag with an Arabic inscription on it. That Arabic inscription I learnt meant, "VICTORY IS FROM GOD ALONE". This, I thought was an excellent symbol that had meaning and could inspire. What is more, the British had themselves incorporated the symbol into the regimental colour which the Nigerian Regiment carried on parade. I decided to incorporate the Arabic INSCRIPTION INTO THE CAP BADGE TO REPRESENT DEFENCE..." Next, I searched for a symbol that would depict unity. I found and answer in Lugard's interlaced triangles which he designed at the amalgamation to represent the coming together of NORTHERN and SOUTHERN NIGERIA. In choosing this symbol for the Nigerian Army cap badge, I hoped it would remind the Nigerian Soldier that his duty was to defend the unity and integrity of his country. I now had two symbols representing DEFENCE AND UNITY." Now, for something that could inspire the army in it's task of defending the nation, I landed on the idea of the Eagle. Again this was not original. The nation had chosen the eagle as national emblem. The eagle is a powerful bird, indeed, the king of birds. It thus represented strength. The eagle had a reputation, when once had located it's prey, of swooping and striking swiftly, accurately and decidedly- qualities which the Nigerian army should strive to achieve. Having decided on these symbols, my next task was to get an artist to put them together into a unified design for the cap badge of the Nigerian Army. This was eventually done. Then I was required to defend my design before the ministerial committee. The committee was made up of three Ministers.

1: Muhammadu Ribadu (Defence)
2: Festus Okotie-Eboh (Finance)
3: Yar'adua (Works and Housing).

It was awe-inspiring to have to appear before these great names of the First Republic. I had to defend the design. I remember that was when I got to the interlaced triangle, Ribadu and Yar'adua exchanged glances and showed some concern. Now I know why. The interlaced triangles also represented the star of David- the symbol of Israel. This alarmed the two Muslim ministers. Fortunately for me, there was the Arabic inscription. This, although at the time I was not thinking in terms of Islam and Christianity, my design happened to incorporate symbols that could be associated with those two religions. Just as well, perhaps. At the end of my defence, the design was approved. I thus left a permanent mark on part of the uniform of the Nigerian Army. This is a rare privilege for any serving officer. I thank God for affording me that opportunity... Source: REMINISCENCES by David Akpode Ejoor.

in the first place I wasn't talking about religion—be guided
It was your friends that brought that up
I was talking of the Dan fodio mandate

But I will answer you - for sure today

I have better things to do for now

Ill answer you like I did the others
Trust me I ain't anything-phobic
Bye for now
Keep an eye on your mentions

I'm aware of that piece of history and there's simply nothing like Nigerian army back then. If you have evidence of such, bring it forward and show your intellectual ability instead of resorting to insults like a common tout.

Go to the same google you found the image and google the origin of the inscription. Why can you people not apply this your brain that works for mindless wailing, hatred, insults and yahoo for things that will actually benefit this country?

I’m beginning to agree with the govt policy to block internet and social media so you confine your ignorance and hatred to your family members since una papa no gree use condom.

Smdh. You’re lucky the British came and saved you from being slaves of the Caliphate or Benin kingdom

These empires existed on this same land that is now Nigeria and which was being and had been amalgamated BEFORE the British. Would it have been called Nigeria? Likely not. However the history of conquest and amalgamation by superior forces did not start with the arrival of the British and you stood a good chance of being dominated by superior empires British or no British because that’s what has been happening on this land since humanity.

You’re just twisting yourselves on semantics. The only foreigners on this soil were white everybody else has been here fighting and conquering so yes they are Nigerians stop being bitter if you were of a tribe that had no empires.

I have nothing further to add.
