You don't understand muslims. It is a religion of ego mixed in hypocrisy.

That is why they stone the devil (satan), but bomb innocent human beings.

No wonder Angola banned Islam and tagged the terrible religion a sect

I do agree that arabic is a language and is akin to Islam.
But the arabic meaning on the note is simply translating hausa tribe which is the lingua franca in the north.Majority of the people who stay in the villages cannot read in English but in arabic.For example, twenty naira means Naira Ashirin in hausa which is translated as نايرا العشرين in arabic....this does not mean Islam.It only aid our locals to read and know the value of any new note printed.

But if hausas and yoruba Muslims prefer it written in arabic,I expect other igbos and yoruba xtians tell to the gvt so that the inscription on the note in yoruba and igbo shud be written in hewbrew...

Boko Haram an Islamist group is more enlightened than than this Islamist MURIC

Lack of COMMON SENSE is a disease woo!

biblia1:
He said that whoever insists on the removal of
Arabic Anjami from the naira and from other
emblems must accept the equal removal of
English graphics from the same materials, adding
that after all English is the language of the Bible
as it is known in Nigeria and it is on the nation’s
naira and all other emblems.
NO PROBLEM
CROSS OF JESUS SHOULD BE REMOVE FROM ALL OUR GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS SINCE IT GOT NOTHING WITH OUR HEALTH TOO

Talk please.
Call them by their name, they are FOOLS!

Arabic language isn't an indigenous language in Nigeria and does not serve the same purpose as our lingua franca - English. Their argument of the bible holds no water. Bible was first written in Hebrew and a few portion in Biblical Aramaic. Early translation was to Greek and from then to English so as to gain wider readership.
It is nobody's fault that the didn't think of translating Koran to English until lately.

And btw, are there only two religions in Nigeria
MURIC members calling for the return of 'ajami' are crazy.

As Nigeria celebrate her 55 Independence anniversary on Thursday, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the Federal Government to immediately return the Arabic Ajami script removed from the nation’s naira notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Director of MURIC Prof. Isiaq Akintola made the call on Wednesday in his independence anniversary message to felicitate with the government and Nigerians.

"We call for the reinstatement of the Arabic Anjami which was removed from the naira by the last administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan after subterranean pressure from some unpatriotic religious leaders. Nigerian Muslims regard the removal as an act of hostility taken to spite Muslims. We consider it as a step taken to satisfy a section of Christians who had been secretly agitating for the removal of Arabic graphics from some official emblems used in Nigeria.

“We see the removal of Arabic from the naira as absolutely unnecessary and an action taken by Jonathan to spite Nigerian Muslims. We hereby state without any fear of contradiction that the use of Arabic as part of the graphics on our emblems does not in any way portray the imposition of Islam or its landmarks on Nigerians. This is so because Arabic stands parri pasu with English graphics wherever the former is used. “English graphics represent Westo-Christian civilisation while Arabic graphics symbolise Islamic culture. Those who insist that Arabic must be removed from our emblems nurse an agenda of domination by elimination,” Akintola said.

He said that whoever insists on the removal of Arabic Anjami from the naira and from other emblems must accept the equal removal of English graphics from the same materials, adding that after all English is the language of the Bible as it is known in Nigeria and it is on the nation’s naira and all other emblems.

He added: “By the way, apart from massaging the ego of Goodluck Jonathan and satisfying the narrow interest of Muslim-haters, what has Nigeria gained from removing Arabic from the naira? We appeal to the Federal Government to redress this wrong.”

This man was supposed to be a Professor but unfortunately, he's exhibiting so much ignorance.

1. The Languages of the Bible are Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages. English is but translation to serve speakers of English language. In Rome, their Bible is the Latin translation; In Spain, it is the spanish translation. In Arabic Countries, Christians use the ARABIC translation of the Bible. In Nigeria, while English translation is mostly used in urban areas, most rural areas use their local dialect translation. English is not,was not and has NEVER been the language of Christians or the Bible.

2. English language is one of the official Languages in Nigeria and the language of business. Government transact businesses in English language. Arabic is not, was not and has never been our language. Hence, there is NO reason for arabic inscription to be on national symbol, neither is there any reason for Jewish or roman inscription to be on our national symbol.

3. The man and his group are only blowing hot air. Buhari MUST not restore the arabic inscriptions but instead he should remove the arabic inscription on our military emblem. This has nothing to do with anti-islam or pro-christian.

Expected. These were some of the things That shaped the last election. I told people that these sentiments were taken to the mosque as I could verify.

I got the hint about this 2 months back. and it's coming from the presidency.
