Why Does Nigeria Currency Have An Arabic Symbol? by Monimaker22: 11:31am On Nov 23, 2022 |
The above thoughts have being on my mind for so long and i know many Nigerians are on same page of thought and seeking reasons behind it when Nigeria is not a Muslim country, so if you have legit information kindly drop at the comment section. If it can be pushed to front page for others to see and comment, that act is very much welcome. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It’s really appalling seeing Arabic on the Naira currency - so boldened in the new notes. Is Arabic even an official language in Nigeria? Very very annoying seeing those inscriptions and I really hope we can rid ourselves of Religious zealots soon enough. 2 Likes |

Before the English letters were introduced to Nigeria by the British, Hausa people already have their means of writing using the Arabic letters. When paper money notes were introduced, the number of people that can read and understand Arabic passed the number of those that can read using the English letters. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

Its not Arabic, it's ajami. Ajami is hausa language written using the Arabic texts. The same way we use Latin alphabet to write our African languages. When you see what looks like Arabic, it could be another language using the Arabic script. 4 Likes |

Abrahamweb: The old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament in Greek and some parts in Aramaic that was spoken by Jesus. The Bible was translated into English and later into hundreds of languages so people who speak different languages can understand. If you don't know something don't make assumptions. 5 Likes |
