Although I am an avid supporter of President Buhari cos of his many stellar achievements, honesty and integrity, it's things like this(his softness) that's making me not very happy with him. Why sit and watch wicked elements and fake news purveyors run this country aground? What's stopping him from declaring war on enemies of Nigeria and fake news merchants?

President Buhari is TOO SOFT for my liking.. If he were Obasanjo or Yaradua or Goodluck Jonathan, would criminal elements like Sowore, Aisha Yesufu and their cohorts dare attempt one quarter of the nonsense that he (President Mohammadu Buhari) has tolerated from them?

This is sad.. President Buhari should do something to nip this nonsense in the bud as quickly as possible before it gets out of hand!

And by the way, what happened to the Social Media regulation bill? Seriously, I am not happy with the way things are going.. I just hope Nigeria survive the wrath of these fake news vicars before PMB comes up with a decisive solution.

May God help Nigeria.

You keep making a fool of yourself. The Nigerian president has many powers over the CBN.

In fact, the CBN has no right to freeze an individual's account over a political issue that has no bearing on its banking policies.

You are that foolish to think that the directive came from the CBN instead of the presidency.

Now, let me ask you a simple question, who has the power to order the freezing of an account over a political issue without a court order? Without due process?

You are a joker on international matters as well. Trumps regime can afford peace because of Obama. Obama pulled out of two wars and then unfortunately quelled many middle eastern issues with precise military action. Obama killed muslims (albeit terrorists and collateral damage) in hostile countries and did the unfortunate dirty work for Trump to enjoy peace.

You forget that Obama never once insulted muslims and neither did he empower Christian bigots who hate Islam like Trump did.

You forget that Trump empowered is real to continue the oppression and genocide of Muslim Palestinians. What about empowering Saudis to bomb Yemen?


Trump is an animal. Obama is a gentleman compared to Trump. Just look at Trumps behaviour after losing the elections. He doesn't want to leave power.

So what?

Joblessness at its peak!

AbdulSleeky:
In trying to prove smart, you proved yourself to be ignorant. How can you ask if the president is responsible for the CBN. Do you know how much responsiblities and powers the president has over the CBN? The Governor of CBN is mandated to report to the president. The president appoints directors of CBN. This is law.

I am not surprised. You are of low intelligence. Im sure that after supporting Buhari, you also prefer Trump to Biden.

AbdulSleeky:
Em.piree, how can you be a Buhari supporter when you know the man is a heartless person?

This is someone that did not give a damn about EndSARS protests until it became international. Hos didn't care to respond when initially briefed

What about refusing to prosecute Ganduje?

What about imprisoning Endsars protrdters?

What about freezing banks accounts of organisers of EndSARS without a court order?

What about Boko haram? People were funding Boko haram since 2015 and their accounts were not frozen.

AbdulSleeky:
Stop this mohammed hijab tactic of asking questions in order to change the point.

AbdulSleeky:



Are you forgetting Ishaq Akintola's idiotic point?

He claimed that Saturday is for christians. Whereas, it is Sunday. Even in the UK, supermarlets open late on Sundays. A christian tradition that they have not changed......despite secularism.


Furthermore, Christians work sundays in Saudi. Kindly stop being ignorant

Why should we have Arabic on our naira notes?

Ajami is rooted in Arabic.

AbdulSleeky:
No. Because he is a dictator and always will be.

AbdulSleeky:
I'm in support of removing corrupt people from government.

But please, dont be foolish enough to be a Buhari supporter. The man is an animal,

AbdulSleeky:
What nonsense is this? No one gave saturdays to christians. Why do you keep following radical fools like ishaq akintola?

Do people work on saturdays in Dubai and Saudi Arabia? Friday and Saturday are non-working days in Saudi.

There are always two free days in a week.

Stop trying hard to shy away from the truth. That's an architectural master piece to the Americans and a religious symbol to the Northern muslims here. Red in Africa means danger, bad and evil while red in China means fire, love, happiness...
This is Nigeria and not America. This is Nigeria were Northerners muslim are trying so hard to claim that its theirs and not others. What ever replica you see in Nigeria for now is for Tribal and religious gains. Christian's have no special court that kills and maim people but Islam does. You can't leave in peace in the North as a christian but you can live in south peacefully as a Muslim. So who are the destroyers. Christian's are after soul winning while muslims are after land grabbing.

An Urhobo officer General David Akpode Ejoor introduced the Islamic (Arabic) inscription and the Star emblem into the Nigeria Army crest. Meanwhile, Reno and co have been lying and spinning everything upside down since.

I think this is worth reading...

There was this controversy on the "Islamic" writings and "Star of David" on our military badge... Here, General David Akpode Ejoor explains in detail how he incorporated these symbols. I hope this puts to rest the unnecessary misunderstanding and dust it gathered when some folks raised the issue.

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...

Stop trying to make people foolish. Because you said #leave# in two different Languages means that any language can go? We are not taking about the meaning but the language in use. They should stick to the official language

Wake up from your slumber.
Arabic is not our official language.
Nigeria is still a secular state.
Islamization loading......

Bluffly:
My own is that we all agreed that English is our official Language, therefore there shouldn't be any form of Language on our currency notes other than English. This has nothing to do with religions lines.

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

Omezif:
Some people like chasing shadow, the arabic scripts at some naira notes have nothing to do to islamize this country. Who is that person that have eaten and sartisfy from islam that would dare to islamize this nigeria country. Apart from killing some christians in some parts in north it's hard to see muslims making such decision in any social media, they know that they could not do anything even if they try it, they become silent.
