A Nigerian lawyer and Human Rights activist Barr. Malcolm Omirhobo has Thursday sued the Federal Government, Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Army, Ministry of Defense and Attorney General of the Federation over the continuous Arabic inscription on the naira notes and the flag of the Nigerian Army without considering Nigeria to be a secular nation.

He is seeking a Federal High Court to interpret the provisions of Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He filed two suits.

The defendants in the suits are Central Bank of Nigeria, Attorney-General of the Federation, the Nigerian Army, as well as the Ministry of Defence.

Plaintiff is seeking a court interpretation whether by a community reading of Sections 10 and 55 of the 1999 Constitution, it is lawful and constitutional for the defendants to permit the Naira notes to be adorned with Arabic inscriptions.

In the same vein, the plaintiff is asking whether by a community reading of Sections 1(1)(3), 10 and 55 of the 1999 Constitution, it is proper for the defendants to permit the Nigerian Army logo to be adorned, or inscribed in Arabic insignia.

He is seeking a court interpretation whether by the true letter and spirit of Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution, Nigeria is a secular state without any official religion.

He wants the court to declare that it is  illegal, unlawful, and unconstitutional to allow the Nigerian Army logo to be adorned, and inscribed in Arabic language, instead of the official English language or Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo which are the three main languages or ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The defendants are yet to reply. The Court also is yet to fix a date for the hearing of the case.

Kudos to the Lawyer.

Finally someone Eyes has been open!!

Good one!!

Yes, we should also ask them why we have " God" in the national pledge since Nigeria is a secular country and not a christian country.

PointZerom:
Each time I come across those people, I weep for Nigeria. They don't contribute any progressive thing to their immediate environment. They don't pay house rent or any utility levy. They don't go to school or involve in any mental development program.

Nigeria will never move forward with them.

At the bolded. It's a fact that some settlements in the north don't pay electricity bill. But electricity officials will not hesitate to disconnect Middle belt and Southern Nigerians who don't pay electricity bills. I know places in Middle belt states where almajiris living in a location don't pay a single kobo as electricity bill and they are enjoying constant power. This is what they call One Nigeria.
A country where two set of laws (constitution and sharia) are applied to two set of people in the same geographical location! A country where almajiris, fulani terrorist and boko haram members are considered first class citizens. A country where a brilliant child that scores 250 and above is not given admission, but a dull almajiri from north that scores 5 is given straight admission to unty schools in the name of quota system.
Nigeria is nothing but a geographical deception.

Ooh okay...

No mind my frail old eyes.

I never knew that was Arabic. What does it say?

Subduer:
The matter should reach The Supreme Court, especially during this tenure of Honourable Tanko, Sharia CJN.

Let's call the CJN by what we know him - Sharia CJN.

if its me that will handle this case this man will first put in jail for the public disturbance .
Again he will pay 1billion for damage his action would cause society.

Aboki's won't see anything wrong with that....assuming is a Christian writing.....Nigeria will boiling for nothing

Sadly it's a failed cause , and why are Christains threatened by the Arabic inscriptions
There's English , Igbo, Yoruba ,Hausa and Arabic on the currency
Why tickle your butthole over Arabic
Are they forcing you to speak it?

During the Centenary..
GEJ Govt tried removing the Arabic inscription on One hundred naira note by putting that of Jewish own there, it was heavily criticised by the powers that be!
Till date.. We have "Home and Away" Hundred naira note!!!

We need more people with balls like this man...
Buhari will report the guy to Saudi Arabia.

Drunk Lawyer...

A Case You Can Never Win...
