What does your country's (Nigeria) law say about Extraordinary Rendition? When you provide a truthful answer to this question then I can continue the conversation with you regarding Nnamdi Kanu....

sreamsense:
when court gave him long period of time to defend himself of terrorism, his best Alaigbo lawyers were busy preparing comedy skits for social media monetization. You yourself was busy deceiving yourself when I tell you the truth. At the end of the day, your propagandas you invested so much of your time to regarding KANU expired and my truth hits your back to remove veil of propagandas covering your face over KANU. Now, same KANU you were making noise about then is now serving as inmate leader in sokoto prison after bragging UK will come to fight Nigeria because he is a citizen.

Haa! Tinubu is now being welcome as a royal dignitary in the same UK because they want bilateral ties between the two countries. I can see you as a serious lover of KANU if you go and share prison room with him for months to show your love to him. KANU is being detained in sokoto, you were demonstrating in Aba making noise, after that; what happened? Nothing!

When next we tell you the truth, you will always learn to listen to reality than fantasies. All years of propagandas about KANU have expired, reality of life now hits on you and KANU. Nobody will release KANU this year, don't deceive yourself; go and be eating your Okpa with peace of mind or go and join KANU to eat "Kunnu de nunu" in sokoto

I took sometime to go through all the comments made in a previous thread I posted here that was featured on Nairaland titled - “Nnamdi Kanu Is Innocent, Only A Criminal Deserves Mercy - Sowore (Video)”

I am appalled at the venomous vicious attacks against Nnamdi Kanu by many members of this website. It was shameful to see educated men talk like touts and illiterates on that thread due to lies, deep tribal hateful sentiments and sheer love for injustice…. I commend users like gidgiddy for his continued tenacious effort at exposing their shameless hypocrisy of condemning Kanu, calling him a terrorist while their compromised government remains in bed with the real terrorists, freeing over 5000 deadly terrorists so far….

What did Nnamdi Kanu do to be labeled a terrorist?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxRN-c3twW0

I’ve watched several video snippets of his broadcast over EndSAR protest been circulated online, mischievously edited like the one above to insinuate that he encouraged people to kill police and army officers for no reason, when in actual fact he was encouraging people to defend themselves against rogue lawless trigger happy police and military officers that went on a killing spree against unarmed protesters during the endsars protest…. For those attacking Kanu, pretending to not know about the extrajudicial coverup killings of over a 100 protesters, carried out by Nigeria’s government in cohort with Tinubu, I will point you all to this news article below….

Nigeria: "mass burial" for 103 victims of the #EndSARS movement - https://www.africanews.com/2023/07/24/nigeria-mass-burial-for-103-victims-of-the-endsars-movement/

All you pretenders, fake champions of justice, condemning Nnamdi Kanu whose crime was that he tried to save these protesters by simply urging them to defend themselves, why are you not condemning your evil APC government that killed the protesters? Why are you not calling for justice for all these protesters killed by your government? You may pretend not to be knowledgeable or naive, but the real reason why many of you are angry, hateful towards Nnamdi Kanu is simply because he is an igbo man….

Kanu’s angry outbursts against Nigeria’s government, Tinubu and police during the EndSARS protest was not out of place, because he was simply speaking out against the killing of innocent defenseless protesters done by military and police officers… If the military and police were civil and didn’t resort to violence, Kanu won’t have said all that you all are accusing him of in that broadcast. I am certain that all of you accusing Kanu of being a terrorist will say far worse things against the government, police and military if any of your family members were killed during the Endsars protest.

There has never been a time in history after the civil war that Igbos were treated fairly when it comes to Nigeria’s national interests. This is why Nnamdi Kanu has always in all his broadcasts told IPOB members that they should never think that they are loved in Nigeria over glaring injustices against the Igbo, their agitation for self-determination through a referendum, urging them to protect themselves and be vigilant, ready at all times to defend themselves even if it means killing any government official or paramilitary groups that kills or attacks them. No one will say that Nnamdi Kanu was wrong after witnessing recent events, we can all see that he was right over Nigeria's insecurity crisis. IPOB was never the problem, there is little or no justice left in Nigeria as terrorists continue to kidnap, kill en mass while Tinubu frees them when captured in the name of rehabilitation, proving all of what Kanu said years ago about the British contraption to be true…. Human life no longer matters in Nigeria as Fulani jihadists bloody pogrom continues unabated….

Nnamdi Kanu like any other human being is prone to mistakes, he is not perfect. Many of you may have issues with the tone of some of his broadcast messages especially the Endsars protest broadcast, this is why he apologized in an interview years ago about some of what he said in the video below.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZT8pJq1jJU

What Nnamdi Kanu said during the endsars protest may have sounded extreme but he was right to encourage people to defend themselves for protesting as Nigeria’s government overtime has proven itself to be a lawless entity that takes no responsibility for it’s brutal illegal actions against the people. If IPOB members were not been constantly attacked and killed by the government, Nnamdi Kanu won’t have said all that he did in those broadcasts out of frustration over the lawlessness of Nigeria. There is no one that will fold his or her arms and not try to defend him or herself in the face of death to stop an aggressor when attacked unprovoked.

I do not expect justice or fair trial for Nnamdi Kanu because he is an igbo man fighting against a system careful crafted against him, fighting against an evil government, compromised to uphold and protect the interests of terrorists…. As Nigerians especially you Yorubas continue to rejoice over his arrest, the illegal injustice Omotosho kangaroo trial, condemning him constantly on various platforms including this website, bear in mind that all what Nnamdi Kanu fought against and said will happen is already happening all over Nigeria, the situation is getting out of hand, including your region the South West as no one will be spared from the Fulani jihadist Islamic invasion....

In the end, when all is said and done, it is not what anyone thinks or says against Kanu that will matter but the undiluted painful truth of his message. You will all come to the realization that he was never what you all accused him of, he was always innocent because he meant well for all Nigerians and wanted freedom for everyone….

Nigerians will surely apologize to Nnamdi Kanu in due time….

Sowore speaks on Aba mass protest demanding justice for Nnamdi Kanu


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zop1prXKSQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zop1prXKSQ

Unemotional robotic man how are you enjoying your new deadly fulani jihadist neighbors.....? Nnamdi Kanu should be the least of your problems right now.... The injustice against him will definitely end soon.....

WizardOfNG:
Emotional man how far? Start fifty threads a day about Kanu's "illegal and unjust" incarceration if you like.

You are only wasting your own time..He is going nowhere.

It is well within his rights to protest where ever or when ever he likes.... His case has already been adjourned till 16 March so why the fuss?

nothingspoil70:
Sowore who was supposed to be in court today defending himself instead chose to go and be marching for a terrorist in Abia.

By the time he is jailed nobody in Abia will protest for his release

Hahahahaha @WizardofNG I had no idea you loved one Nigeria so passionately.... Tell me which is more embarrassing, having a lawless government or having a terroristic government? Shamefully, Nigeria's Tinubu APC government can clearly be described as possessing both attributes!

Did Finland break international law to kidnap Simon Ekpa from another country to face trial? Did Finland government subvert it's own constitution to push a kangaroo trial over Simon Ekpa?

Nnamdi Kanu has always told all those who care to listen to his broadcasts that IPOB will not attack anyone except in self-defense.... it was a peaceful agitation, this is why when Simon Ekpa's group went rogue and started killing security operatives without any provocation he denounced Ekpa and distanced IPOB from Simon Ekpa's activities....

I had refrained initially from replying you @WizardofNG because I know your usual antics but to set the record straight, if you care so much about Nigeria's international image tell your terrorist loving lawless government to obey local and international law and free Nnamdi Kanu.... As long as international community is concerned, Nigeria has no image left to protect and you know it so stop deceiving yourself.... Instead of your long epistle, you could've simply said "Nigeria must jail and ensure Nnamdi Kanu remains in prison for rest of his life because he is an igbo man...." your hiding behind a fake patriotic sentiment of caring about Nigeria's international image is pathetic....

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Mr.Bigot, this is not an Igbo affair. It is a Nigerian affair about punishment of criminality no one should circumvent if we wish to develop into a sane and progressive nation.

Delusional of OP to think SE Governors and leaders can coerce Tinubu to abuse power interfering with the affairs of the judicial arm to set Kanu free considering precedence Finland has set jailing Ekpa.

Aren't you ashamed at how OP is making you guys appear lawless? Otti made a promise in December 2025 to put in place a plan to free Kanu and OP is here in March complaining that has not happened?

Are you people some sort of macabre joke to think Tinubu will aid your megalomaniac self-delusion?

The world, including Trump you worship that Tinubu knows thinks very little of "shithole nation" Nigeria, is watching to note Ekpa, the minion and servant of Kanu, will serve his full 5 years term in prison, after conviction in Finland, for crimes he committed against Nigeria and not Finland.

Yet you and the delusional OP expect Tinubu to be part of a plot to free the head of the Snake in less than months from a life sentence for crimes he committed and instructed many to commit against Nigeria?

Will that not disgrace Tinubu and Nigeria internationally since the message will be that Finland is more serious about punishment of crimes against Nigeria than Nigeria themselves are?

Yes we all know Nigeria is biased and justice can be for sale but how dumb is anyone not to understand the concept that "justice must be seen to be done" when certain cases have gained international dimension and importance?

Foot soldier Ekpa serves his full term in Finland prison yet Kingpin Kanu is released from a life sentence within months in Nigeria.

Are you all babies in the SE not to understand the negative optics that will create for Nigeria?

Make una try to dey engage una brain na. You people should really make more effort to think before you rush to speak.

When Igboho started his movement for Oduduwa republic and was declared wanted.... it is obvious that you and many other Yoruba apologists didn't condemn him as popular south west politicians, governors and traditional rulers intervened to stop Buhari from further pursuing him, allowing him to conveniently go on exil.....

The reason why south east governors have a crucial role to play and will answer in due time over their continued collusion with the federal government to imprison Nnamdi Kanu is because as long as Nigeria is concerned the igbos know they have little or no direct say over national issues except through these governors and their counterparts in the national assembly many of whom unfortunately are sell outs....

As you enjoy the unjust divisive Yoruba government of Tinubu, note that his unholy Muslim/Muslim ticket with the north is already bearing fruits that may consume your region soon..... the fulani jihadists are just getting started and don't plan to leave your region (south west) any time soon.... Tinubu won't be president for long, you and other Yorubas who love to spread falsehood and hate against Nnamdi Kanu will surely regret Tinubu's presidency in due time....

You made the following false notion below...

Knowing that he stands no chance of being freed by the upper courts and knowing if he appeals , the President can not grant a pardon on a matter already before appeal

Nnamdi Kanu already filed a notice of appeal in court - https://www.arise.tv/nnamdi-kanu-files-appeal-challenges-terrorism-conviction-and-life-sentences/

DomPerignon:
What is this one ranting?

Only a pardon from the President can save your kanu.

That's why your Kanu has refused to file an appeal on his conviction knowing criminal appeals are first come, first serve basis and can take up to a decade to even reach the Appeal court talk more of the Supreme court.

Knowing that he stands no chance of being freed by the upper courts and knowing if he appeals , the President can not grant a pardon on a matter already before appeal (See Marriam Sanda as an example), he Kanu has refused to file an appeal and is now only hopping on a presidential pardon that can only be secured at the highest levels of diplomacy and lobbying.

1 million man march for #freennamdikanu in Aba, Abia state

In December 2025, Alex Otti said this after meeting Tinubu....

While Kanu is free to appeal his conviction, I’m happy to inform you that I have activated, and will continue to work on the already agreed strategy until his freedom is secured....

It's been 4 months since Otti "activated" his secret plot to secure Kanu's release, one would think that by now tangible progress would've been publicized by Alex Otti but since his media briefing last year, nothing seem to have been done by him, any other south east governor or prominent igbo politician to push for Nmamdi Kanu release..... one wonder if Alex Otti was lying to his people, playing politics with Nnamdi Kanu's life. It is glaring that if Kanu was a yoruba or fulani man, he wouldn't face trial not to talk of imprisonment but since he is an igbo man, he deserves no justice as long as one Nigeria is concerned..... I will use to medium to remind all igbo politicians secretly rejoicing over Kanu's unjust continue incarceration that a day of reckoning is coming when they will have no where to hide from the consequences of this injustice. All you igbo politicians conniving with Tinubu and northern fulani power brokers to betray your own people will be making a big mistake to think that the silence of the igbo people is a sign of their foolishness or consent to continue what you are doing, it's not....

Alex Otti, Hope Uzodinma, Charles Soludo, Peter Mbah and Francis Nwifuru don't think your people are foolish, they are watching you closely, as you continue to put your selfish political ambitions over 2027 elections to ensure that Nmamdi Kanu does not get justice. It is not too late to do the right thing and get your acts together because if Nmamdi Kanu dies in prison over your failiure to secure his release, none of you will escape the wrath of your people at the appointed time for failing to rescue Nnamdi Kanu from the evil fangs of Nigeria.... you all if not lynched, will be humiliated and put to total shame not just by your own people but by the same hopelessly corrupt damnable zoological republic you all are shamelessly eager to serve....

There is no peace or progress without justice..... #FreeNnamdiKanu

Nnamdi Kanu is not perfect but he is what igbos call "Nwachineke"

Here is what you are looking for


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKUOqZbD7PA

Hedonisco:
Any article, video clip, or other evidence of him predicting that Tinubu would be president?

Nnamdi Kanu loved not just his people but all Nigerians.... It is not over, his message will continue to resonate loud until the liberation of all indigenous people from the evil contraption come to pass....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7n5r4Qrd2w

The earlier southerners, Christians, traditionalists and non-religious people wake up to demand a total restructuring or division of the country the better because what is going on in Nigeria is calculated ethnic religious cleansing through Islamic jihad.... Tinubu and his government are part of the conspiracy....

Watch....

I asked you direct questions but you keep evading answering the questions. I am not obligated to reply you any further because you are all about grandstanding with no substance.... What Nuhu Ribadu said and continued shielding of terrorists from prosecution in the name of rehab is enough proof of government complicity as an enabler of Islamic jihadists and terrorism.... Keep grandstanding, pray not to be a victim....

Ohyoudidnt:
Mass killings and policy failures are indeed real issues, but labeling them as evidence of a hidden agenda does not constitute proof. Mistaking correlation for causation does not lend credibility to the claim; the responsibility to substantiate such an agenda lies with you.

Funny, people are been killed en mass and government keeps releasing terrorists, you call it mixed up conflicts and policy failures.... You are not serious..... The fact that you initially tried to downplay this while evading my questions exposes who you are....

Ohyoudidnt:
Making your true intention clearly obvious now. How do you mix up separate conflicts and confuse policy failures with a hidden agenda? It's mismanagement, not conspiracy, that accounts for the releases. Most victims are still Muslim, and that reality is clear on its own. Original Boko Haram have killed more Muslims than Christians.

Your false binary is not a question deserving of response.

I made slient observations in my last comment as to why Arabic has no place in today's Nigeria but you keep justifying it's use by making historical references.... Nothing stops CBN from removing those Arabic inscriptions on 3 different notes or limiting it to show in just one.... Why continue with British induced colonial symbols? You may not agree over the true motives of keeping these inscriptions on national logos or notes, you are yet to prove me wrong that there is no islamization agenda in Nigeria...

Ohyoudidnt:
This thread discussion as involving me is finished then? This is your abandonment or termination this discussion?

At best I have shown you what you call Islamic Arabic writing is just Arabic rendition of Hausa language known as Ajami; which predates independence and useful to the general northern tradition, the laxity of actual government which doesn't restrict application of sharia within the constitution which enables criminal abuse in criminal law and the actual origin of the army's motto from the colonial era.

Once again, I've replied in the other thread.

truthera:
In my other thread I asked you a simple question "Why is your government pampering, rehabilitating and releasing captured Islamic terrorists?" This question you've continued to evade with your long history epistle that adds no value to the current issue. In everything you've so far that tends to make little sense since you engaged me on my threads has been statement below...




You've clearly acknowledged that sharia overtime has created room for what you called "illegitimate extension" but at the same time you contradict yourself by downplaying the obvious ij your attempt to whitewash Islamization.... Many people have died and many more are been killed by these Islamic jihadists in their bloody conquests while Nigeria's government continues to free the terrorists in the name of "rehabilitation", over 5000 terrorists freed even there are documented reports that these terrorists do no fully undergo any rehabilitation (Read https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/surrendered-terrorists-evade-official-rehabilitation-programme-reinfiltrate-nigerian).... You heard your National Security Adviser Ribadu admitting complicity, telling the whole world how deadly terrorists are his brothers that should be pampered.... I do not know your tribe or religion but one does not need to be learned to see that what is going on goes beyond petty politics but a full blown jihad, ethnic cleansing orchestrated by powerful northern Islamic political forces backed by a compromised puppet federal government.... I will ask you one last time, since you are certain of what you've posted here and my other threads so far that islamization agenda in Nigeria is not real, why has your government continued the practice of pampering, rehabilitating and releasing captured Islamic terrorists? Do you agree with the position of your NSA Nuhu Ribadu?

Let's correct your primary misunderstanding. I am not the government, an employee or representative of same government.

Answers to your questions about the implementation of government policy can appropriately be addressed by you directing your questions to your elected representative and relevant state institutions. Sad that you regard fair elaboration of the literature you choose to ignore as evasion in long history. Is the history shorter?

You rather misrepresent my statement and position probably that's your actual intention not meaningful discussion. I didn't say anywhere that Sharia created room for illegitimate extension but point you to your government that allow abuse of the constitution as pretence of this system to indirectly accommodate this extension. If you rather engage me than exercise your rights to demand better governance from your government it is futile expression of your efforts.

Asking a private individual to justify government decision and simultaneously attributing those decisions to them is no discussion.

Okay but your comments so far no matter how neutral you may try to make it sound continues to expose your true stance in defending the status quo.... You've made your opinon clear based on what you've written so far that you do not agree that there is any islamization agenda in Nigeria. This is why I am asking, what is your take on the government continued release of captured deadly terrorists.... Is that not a glaring evidence of collusion? Is it not obvious that there is an agenda....? You've demonstrated yourself through our previous conversation as been legally sound so as the legal expert here, I believe you know the anti-terrorism laws of Nigeria better than I do.... Does shielding terrorists from prosecution in the name of rehabilitation not a contradiction of such laws? Again, since Nigeria's government has shown itself to be clearly compromised over these illegal practices, when these deadly Islamic Terrorists continue to kill, make clear their message, posting multiple videos online, stating that they are fighting for sharia and Islam, what else does all these mean, if not jihad (Islamizaton agenda).....?

You realize that the five stages of Islamization is not history, not scholarship, and not truth? It is an American political narrative, popularized after 9/11 and exported as prophecy.

Northern Nigeria’s Islam is over 700 years old, rooted in trade and indigenous states like the Sokoto Caliphate; population growth reflects poverty and low female education, not a coordinated agenda. Sharia courts predated 1999, Zamfara’s expansion was an open electoral promise, and leadership includes Christians so turning every fact into a supposed plot is not insight, it is a persecution tool.

The real issue is not the sharia itself but the tendency towards illegitimate extension into criminal law by northern states in violation of section 10 and chapter IV of fundamental rights.

Ohyoudidnt:
Perhaps I delay to allow you express your intellectual capacity for independent research. Your response now however validates your bias and inclination to refuse any facts that go against your preferred bias.

Let me share a truth you rather not find:

In the excerpts of his 1989 autobiography titled Reminiscences, General David Ejoor stated that,

“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 an 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”.

In this video, a fiery cleric breaks down each stage, the reasoning behind the stages, and why many Nigerians need to understand that this revelation resonates deeply with the country's ongoing insecurity.

@Ohyoudidnt I am not surprised as I expected you will go mute to my last question.... Meaning, you know something is wrong but not bold enough to admit that there is a grand Islamization conspiracy in Nigeria....

Until Nigerians like you are ready to let go of tribalism and self-deceit, be bold to confront this uncomfortable truth and begin the decentralization process of either restructuring or dividing the country, these brutal Islamic bloody killings will only get worse.... The "sharianization" of your constitution will continue as you rightly acknowledged that its real when you said....

The real issue is not the sharia itself but the tendency towards illegitimate extension into criminal law by northern states in violation of section 10 and chapter IV of fundamental rights.

You call it "illegitimate extension".... I call it unabated Islamic jihadi conquest. The Arabic naira currency notes is just one example out of so many other pointers.... If you are not a fulani, non-muslim or christian, you are an endangered person as long as one Nigeria exists in it's current form.....

Well said but your take on the naira and army logo does no justice to the issue because if we are to use history then English not Arabic should've been used since Nigerians were not colonised by Arabs but the British.... Also, even if we are to base this on traditional heritage, such inscriptions should've been written in hausa, igbo or yoruba.... Why impose Arabic inscriptions on not just one but three different currency notes and military logo, the country's top security institution.... If you can't see the absurdity then it is a matter of personal delusion on your part to accept what shouldn't be.....

In an ideal scenario, these currency notes should've been inscribed with 3 or 2 most popular spoken local dialects, not Arabic.... Finally, if you are truly honest in your submission and believe there is no ulterior motives or islamization agenda, why is your government pampering, rehabilitating and releasing captured Islamic terrorists?

Ohyoudidnt:
Really no offense taken. There’s nothing contradictory here. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) established Sharia Courts of Appeal and Customary Courts of Appeal to accommodate the country’s diverse civil traditions. These courts primarily address personal law and do not serve as a substitute for regular courts.

Also, the presence of Arabic on the Naira or the Nigerian Army crest reflects its historical significance in West African scholarship; it does not indicate a state religion.

Checked sections mentioned, you are right "Sharia" is mentioned, apologies as am no lawyer or well versed on Nigerian laws but reading through these sections seem contradictory, why are there provisions for the establishment of sharia courts in the constitution when judicial frameworks are already covered by existing courts....? Also, since you seem indifferent over naira notes Arabic inscription, what do you've to say regarding the Nigeria Army logo Arabic inscriptions....?

Ohyoudidnt:
Put in some effort to find and read the relevant sections of the constitution.

The term Sharia is clearly mentioned in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, specifically in sections 260–264 and 275–279. These sections set up the Sharia Courts of Appeal. This is a matter of constitutional fact, not interpretation.

The real legal discussion revolves around certain states extending Sharia into criminal law, which many contend conflicts with Section 10 and fundamental rights. Framing these issues as part of a constitutional dispute that suggests a covert Islamic takeover simply substitutes speculation for law.

I want to believe that you are joking.... Let's assume the response made by your chatbot is the reason behind Arabic inscriptions made by CBN on the Naira notes which in my opinion is obviously not.. What do you've to say about Arabic inscription on the Nigerian Army logo below shared by another user......

benardtotti:
The Arabic-looking inscriptions on those banknotes simply state the value of the note. They are written in Arabic script (Ajami), which has historically been used to write some West African languages like Hausa.

The notes are issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Meanings in English

1. ₦1000 note
Arabic script: ألف نيرة
Meaning: One Thousand Naira


2. ₦500 note
Arabic script: خمسمائة نيرة
Meaning: Five Hundred Naira


3. ₦200 note
Arabic script: مائتا نيرة
Meaning: Two Hundred Naira



Why Arabic script appears on Nigerian money

Arabic script has been used in West Africa for centuries through Islamic scholarship and trade.

Many Hausa scholars historically wrote the Hausa language using Ajami (Arabic letters).

Nigeria includes it on some currency as a historical and cultural element, not because the language of the note is Arabic.


✅ So the inscriptions are simply the denominations written using Arabic script.

If you want, I can also show you why some people online mistakenly think these inscriptions mean something political or religious and explain the real story behind it.

Source : ChatGPT.

It is obvious from your comment that you may be a lawyer or legal expert.... You know that there is no section of Nigeria's constitution that explicitly states the word "Sharia" yet you some how try to bend a section of the constitution to make it acceptable..... You need to use common sense to understand what is happening.... Nigeria is already a covert Islamic country it will be mainstream soon once enough people are killed and their lands taken.... You ask the question why Obasanjo allowed Sharia... It is the same reason why Arabic inscriptions are on your Naira notes.... It is same reason why Tinubu continues to pamper, rehabilitate and reintegrate Islamic terrorists..... Those you see as leaders are only puppets, sellouts willing to maintain the status quo, the subjugation to advance the jihad bloody conquests of hidden Islamic controllers, power brokers and king makers who believe Nigeria is theirs for the taken.... They will eventually succeed as long as all Southerners, Christians, Traditionalists, Non-Muslims, Non-religious and Atheists do not push for their freedom....

Ohyoudidnt:
Good you are reframing your position.

The reality however is that Sharia exists constitutionally going by Sections 260 -279. You could submit your reservations for the constitutional review. Obasanjo allowed the implementation under his civilian regime for reasons best known to him.

The real issue is not the sharia itself but the tendency towards illegitimate extension into criminal law by northern states in violation of section 10 and chapter IV of fundamental rights.

It is clearly an exploitation of the constitutional design flaw. So you should ask why the federal government allows this not why the law exists.

To all those attacking my post here, still wallowing in self-deceit... I will ask one more question why are these states: Zamfara •Kano •Sokoto •Katsina •Bauchi •Borno •Jigawa •Kebbi •Yobe •Kaduna •Niger •Gombe implementing Sharia laws that has no provision in Nigeria's constitution? Your compromised federal government continues to collude with northern state governments to push and enshrine Sharia... They have created various Islamic legal institutions, such as a Sharia Commission, a Zakat Commission, and hisbah in these states... It will eventually spread to other states over time.... Any intelligent objective person instead of attacking this thread, should be asking how is this normal in a secular country and why is happening....

To the southerners, Non-Muslims, Christians, Traditionalists, Non-Religious and Atheists in Nigeria, I will once again reiterate that you are all living in a dangerous illusion, crafted to keep you passive, distracted.... I hope many will wake up to this reality before it is too late....

You are entitled to spend to your doom if you derive joy in staying ignorant but any serious minded person should be concerned.... The plot to push your country into an Islamic entity has been a long planned carefully crafted conspiracy that has been ongoing for years.... Everything going on right now is connected.... Why do you think your government appears weak to fight the blood thirsty jihadists....? Why are terrorists after killing so many especially Christians are been rehabilitated and reintegrated back into society by your government? Once again, you've no answer because you are clueless towards your own reality.....
