holatin:

fool that what u Ve always attached to us but we still gain ground. even USA dat dat you look up to are the leading nation in accepting Islam.
my dad always tell me....don't interact with fool cus foolishness could be contaminable.
so my last word to you. Read ur bible very well and act to his word

Built2last:
The next to be removed should be the Arabic inscriptions on our military badges, and rankings....Nigeria is a secular state...period.

This madness has to stop, National assembly is built like a mosque, the presidential villa is built like a mosque....This country belongs to us all and is never a religious state. visit any ministry, parastatal or agency of the government in Abuja. the master plan of those buildings have mosques...They couldn't have the freedom to do that in Lagos, and came up with the script that the capital of Nigeria has to be at the center of Nigeria.

We just need to be security conscious cos in matter of days the news that Hausa/Islamic Inscriptions has been removed will go viral, they will tag all of us HARNI (meaning Unbeliever) and may go on rampage killing themselves not me.

I remember my uncle who was a member of MPR telling me that Soludo had good plans for the Naira but the northern hegemony wont allow him. That his problem with Yaradua began the day he raised it in their meeting that Nigeria is a secular state and so should not have any religious inscription in our currency. He said YARADUA heard of it before that meeting ended. Of course his brothers informed him. Yaradua called Soludo as the meeting was ending to ask how true.

Most people think Soludos tenure was not renewed because of the planned devaluation of the naira which presidency claims they were not carried along. but the inscription on the naira was the genesis of Soludos crisis with Yaradua. OBJs grand plan was that Soludo should remain and complete the devaluatuion plan.

In days to come expect the northern elites reaction to this removal.and may be Bokoharam taking more innocent lives in protest...Nigeria belongs to them and we are their slaves...so an average northerner thinks.

Except for those suffering from historical Amnesia, the 2015 struggle to take power by the north is never born out of the love for Nigeria. The North has not forgiven Southern Nigeria for the death of Yaradua. In their heart, in their mosques, its a subject of discuss that Jonathan is seating on their chance and must be unseated no matter what. Ineeded, Jonathan has disappointed all of us greatly but the North seeking power on the premise that it belongs to them or based on vendetta is a NO NO for me and all intellectual minds.

I dont know how we came up with Quota system, but that stuff has only served in the interest of the north. I dont know any southerner who has benefited from Quota system. We sacrificed merit at the altar of that Northern grand plan. If not tell me why Fashola should not be given APC presidential ticket to have a good election. But try that and see the viper react...It must be them or nothing.They annuled June 12, gave it to Weak Shonekan for few months and chased him out again, killed Abiola in the prison so that , his case will remain in the ash bin of history. Today, my people cry for remeberance of June 12 and they laugh from Minna and Kano.they knew what they were doing... If you are up north during the election, and Jonathan is declared winner, better run for your life. They will unleash the evil dragon, what Bokoharam is doing now is childs play compared to the plan.

jojotemitopaz:
so since those arabic text have been on the notes has it threatened the existence of chirstains b4 now or has it made muslims stronger. The north speaks more of hausa and arabic yet cuz u dominated in the south u believe the whole of nigeria is like here in the south west...I feel all these actions are the sor es of these religious tensions....and most of tbe coments here are fueling it with too much sentiments...how really does its removal help anyone

Pecca:


so why is 1, 2, 3, 4, etc called Arabic numerals? you may wish to enlighten me fu8rther pls!

BetaThings:

What happened to you?
You used to be objective.
How many things associated with Christianity have we demanded that should be removed in order for us to be comfortable
Understand the argument
If Nigeria had been colonised by and Arab country, would Muslims have been demanding the removal of latin-based languages from our currnecies
Let me ask
What are the benefits of this move?
Some people say they are liberated from shackles. How?
They will now be able to vote tommorrow unlike in the past?, or get married without a licence etc?
What freedom or rights did Muslims have before this measure was taken that Christians did not have?

Do you know that Muslims have made far more concessions in this country than the Christians?
The average Muslim needs to take permission to go to Jumat prayer but Christians can spend 7 hours in church on Sat or Sun

MNDY:


Here we go again! The alarming INTOLERANCE and "only-way-ideology" elements in your post!
----------
So, I must officially become a Muslim in order to understand Arabic or Qur'an?

Truman155:
baba sorry to say this but i dont think i can be converted to islam i would rather die than convert #i mean it. Islam is just too volatile. Dont quote me to spew trash

vedaxcool:


Yes, tolerating a word written in localised arabic to cater for a group of people who can read it! It is as simple as that! Let it break, isn't that what CAN is working hard to achieve? Like I said they are playing on u people ignorance while they get jets as reward for their divisive antics! It is funny that ur tolerance for corruption in this country would not break anytime soon, yet it is about to break on the very small issue like this! That is bigotry for u, keep to react on the very simple issues for life!

aljharem:


@Bolded

My brother, that is the whole point. If the Christians think the language is a way of forcefully telling them this is a Muslim country then WE as Muslims should show them that we are tolerate in a heavenly extent.

Of course it does not mean things will be better but this move will show us in a lighter note to our Christian brothers rather than trying to maintain the statue quo.

shomutuski:
Why are some people deluded like this.... Some of us here are the reason why most caucasian feel we still live in medieval time. The guy explained why hausa word for naira is on the note is solely for hausa people that don't understand english. And some people who their DNA has metamorphed with bigotry and relegious fanaticism can't even reason. CHAI!!! Nigeria is finished. This is the work of C.A.N. Most of us claim to be educated yet we can't even use our brain to reason something as simple as ABC. What of the yoruba and igbo word for money on the note. Why can't u people complain about that. Am a yoruba guy and I understand what that guy is trying to pass through.CAN is really working though, through ignorance,it is raising the next generation of lord resistance army fighters, who rather than demand good governance would prefer finding new fronts to fight Muslims. Any nation where people put bigotry and fanaticism before tolerance is doomed to be stagnated.

bakila:

There is BIBLE IN ARABIC LANGUAGE! Ignorant people learn.

vedaxcool:


Regardless of the bigot laden statements so far on the thread, this remains the main reason why Ajami was used on the naira note, CAN is really working though, through ignorance,it is raising the next generation of lord resistance army fighters, who rather than demand good governance would prefer finding new fronts to fight Muslims. Any nation where people put bigotry and fanaticism before tolerance is doomed to be stagnated.

omoiseselagba:
THIS MAN DESERVES A BOTTLE OF ORIJIN. YOU HAVE REALLY SPOKEN WELL.

Truckpusher:
See as e dey pain you.

Bunch of spineless cavemen hiding under Islam to perpetrate evil ,yet feign ignorance when superior arguments holds sway but angry over trivial issues.
Continue ranting about Americans accepting Islam yet they won't waste time in throwing you into gitmo bay with the slightest misunderstanding.
Cry on ,you're nothing but cry babies.

aljharem:
Good move

Btw English is not the Christian Language but Nigeria official language. Hebrew is the language.

kamilous:
some ppl are commenting out of ther hatred, how a well sane ppl would make such comment of islamization? I believe u can stand front wen d so called CAN gv u order to further disturb d peace of d country which u are practicing already,mind not hatred and say d reality@ who it may concern

aumeehn:
to your Christian brother not me.....an infidel can never be my brother never!!

KLand:



No...... Jesus doesn't exist in pictures. He is real in the hearts of believers.

maclatunji:


The essence of the currency is for people to use it, if you make it difficult for a good part of the people it is meant for to identify and use it, then you have only proven to be myopic.

I also find it funny that the opponents of the Arabic script are motivated by hate and to a lesser extent fear. Removing the scripts will not change their fear or reduce their hate. I find it amusing as a result.

wordcat:


How do u expect me to understand u?
How is naira iri abuo or ogun naira a latin word?

aumeehn:
to your Christian brother not me.....an infidel can never be my brother never!!

limamintruth:




Nonetheless, the arabic inscriptions on the naira notes are irrelevant now. We are no longer living in the olden days and northerners of today are more enlightened and knowlegeable in both hausa & english than they were 50yrs ago; thus, i still reiterate that your initial argument is very wrong.
And mind you it is the likes of vedaxcool & co. that provided religious colouration to the intent of the arabic inscriptions being written on the naira notes, not me. Comprend'e
