Citing this 1000 note as an example, The Arabic inscription on it simply means NAIRA DUBU(Hausa language) in Transliteration which means #1000. It's Hausa language but written in Arabic. The Arabic word for a thousand naira is ألف not نير دوبو as it's on our thousand note. I can also write egberun naira (Yoruba language) in Arabic as we have it in Hausa language (but written in Arabic) on our note. As well as in Igbo. أيبر نير egberun naira (#1000). IT'S JUST A LANGUAGE as explained in this write-up, nothing like ISLAMIZATION. We all need to look away on some certain things if we must live in peace, Which is ESSENTIAL. I can sight some examples of what we're also using in Nigeria that are related to Christianity but no fuss from Muslim side. WE NEED TO STOP ALL THESE UNNECESSARY FUSS MODIFIED Nigerians values religion more than even ethnicity, how I wish the values in religion can be impacted in our doings.

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. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

People are trying their best to cause religious war in this country. People are suffering but some bigots think an arabic inscription on naira note is the solution to the problem. When you go buy something, who cares if arabic words are written on the note, does it stop it from being a legal tender. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

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 47 Likes 12 Shares |

The inscription should be removed and replaced with English texts abeg. After all, the number system we use is Hindu-Arabic. (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0). Why the Arabic/ajamic inscription again? The Army own na hin dey vess me pass. abdul824:Yoghourt ni 8 Likes 1 Share |

To them they feel the Arabic Ajami on our notes takes them closer to Allah, bunch of brain washed mofos.. what has Arabic got to do with Nigeria, for the fooll above saying that the writing is Hausa but in Arabic. Why not write it in Hausa like Dubu Daya. That one na small thin Sha , if only the Arabic signs can make the naira equates dollar. 19 Likes 1 Share |
