The old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament in Greek and some parts in Aramaic that was spoken by Jesus.
The Bible was translated into English and later into hundreds of languages so people who speak different languages can understand.

If you don't know something don't make assumptions.
But your logic is still flawed.

Vast majority of Christians in different parts of the country don’t read and write in English. And English is certainly not a language exclusive to Christians.

There is absolutely no justification for those Arabic inscriptions on the naira notes other a Northern/islamisation agenda.

Arabic is the language of Islam as English is the language of Christianity, should they remove English from naira?
This is really funny grin grin grin.

Lol dream on.

Do you know that Nigeria is more like an Islam country?

President
Senate
Speaker
Deputy Speaker
Chief judge
COAS
iGP

Head of

Immigration
Custom
Drug Agency
EFCC
Correctional service
FRSC
Civil defence
NNPC
Attorney General

In fact I'm tired of listing names they are just endless

Nigeria ARMY insignia is written in Arabic "Nasarulminallah" meaning victory is from Allah alone.

And to nail the coffin

Your next president for the next 8 years will be Muslim either Tinubu or Atiku you can't escape it

If it is Tinubu then after his 8 years it will be either Shettima or Elrufai for another 8 years that's 16 good years. You guys were held by the balls.

So Mr man you are your ancestor and you are your children since all this is ongoing under your nose.
It's not an Islamic country; it's just that Hausa/Fulanis are in power and are always bigoted when it comes to sharing formula for positions of power.

Isn’t that same for every tribe in Nigeria?
the Arabs came,conquered northern Nigeria. The north is powerful and they believe they own Nigeria and dictate whatever going on here as you can see today. that is why you see the Arabic sign in the naira. remove it and face the wrath of the northerners... Arab is where their God came from and the are ready to die for it....

Do you read and assimilate at all?
Did you read the person's comment that I mentioned?
Or you just dived to reply........
The person was justifying why Arabic is on the Naira because it is the language which Qur'an was written and I said that the Bible was not written in English.
So I had to let him know that the Bible was not written in English rather Hebrew, Greek and Araimic, but was later translated.

Next time read to comprehend and not to reply......

The British?

I do not know how true that is - but even if it were so - I think it’s fairly common knowledge that the British favoured, and indeed left, a largely northern government because they are predominantly uneducated and easier to manipulate…. And see where that got us!

The above thoughts have being on my mind for so long and i know many Nigerians are on same page of thought and seeking reasons behind it when Nigeria is not a Muslim country, so if you have legit information kindly drop at the comment section.

If it can be pushed to front page for others to see and comment, that act is very much welcome.
