"Allah" is the translation "God" in Arabic. Stop getting sentimental about it.

We Christians sing "Nagode Allah, Nagode Allah, Allah Seriki" all the time Have we suddenly become Muslims?

Mynd44:
Next time you hear them sing that song in a church, ask them to use "Chineke"

Nigeria has three main ethnic groups (igbo, hausa, yoruba, and its not an Islamic state, just wondering why is there an arabic inscription on the logo of the Nigerian army and whats the meaning of the inscription , lalasticlala please i need opinions on this

sorry1:
You asking how many people that understands English in Nigeria have already sold you out as a bias individual.

Is Arabic our official language? No but English is.

Now show me one Nigerian national symbol that has Latin in it and I will take you seriously. ppl

DEFINITION of 'NGN (Nigerian Naira)'
The currency abbreviation for the Nigerian naira (NGN), the currency for Nigeria. The Nigerian naira is made up of 100 kobo and is often presented with a symbol that looks like the capital latin letter "N" with two horizontal slashes through the middle

Even the word "Niger" is not indigenous. As I have observed elsewhere, the word "Niger" is actually a Greek imposed Latin name, which means "Black" or “very dark brown”. Needless to point out that the word "Area" is English.

is arabic nigeria language?

Na now u wake up, have you checked on the Number notes u spend everyday?

Mynd44:
Arabic is a language just like English or Swahili. It has nothing to do with Islam.

Emzypaz:
Even Federal Universities in Nigeria have Latin words as their motto; Probitas doctrina, ad sic astra and many more
So, just like Latin is a Language, Arabic is also a language.
The Nigerian Army using it doesn't mean the army is Islamized as most people think. Would you have complained if it was written in Latin?

church is a place of worship, but Nigeria is a country with diverse ethnic groups, we cant be subjected to arabic because we aint all Arabians or Muslims and this is not an Islamic country

donmalcolm21:
Is it a Language spoken in Nigeria or an Official language

Mynd44:
The symbol of the Naira is Latin
The name of the country is derived from Latin.

Miss me with your religious bigotry biko

oya ban yourself for calling me a religious bigot or I'll return the favor and also go scotfree

Mynd44:


This smells like you are accepting defeat and running away. Please lets talk more about why there is an Arabic insigna on out national symbol since it has been shown that Latin is also on our symbols.

temitope277:
english is the official language in 9ja, arabic is only understand by the muslim and we have more christian than muslim in nigeria

Mynd44:
Grasping at straws are you? Please if the Naira can be derived from Latin which is associated with Christianity, why are you fretting about another insigna from Arabic which is associated with Islam?

Infact, I think traditionalists should protest this. It is not fair, Sango and Amadioha need to be represented too

Na so nothing to do with Islam

HsLBroker:
but not everyone in Nigeria believe in Allah, like not everyone believe in Jesus, English is our first language, Arabian inscription should not be there, at all.

SUPERPACK:
i love this explanation, the also forgot that the bible was not written in English, but rather translated to English by Tyndale. so each language have the word for God.
