The dumb government probably didn't know our numerals are Arabic numerals… They should have replaced it with the Roman numerals dumbos!

Are you reading my mind or what? Arabic inscriptions remain not just on the naira notes but on all other world currencies i.e 10, 20, 200 1,000 etc. All the numerals are Arabic.

Y are people complaining that the arabic written on the previous 100 naira note is not there again? Does the arabic represent Islam? How many Muslims even noticed the previous one? Is arabic an official language in Nigeria? Money wey mama basira dey put inside her bra and the same money people use to do various evil things. We should be happy arabic is not on the note again.

Shut up, móron. If you don't understand, that's an indictment on YOUR low intelligence.

kid. get l*st

I laugh because such comments are not motivated by careful thought but primordial sentiments that can only get you so far before they backfire.

sharrap there

What do you mean? Backfire? How? What more than what you and your Boko brothers are already doing?

I have actually been thinking about the word 'backfire'.
I dont really know what he meant, but whatever, may God protect us o.

Myopic people indeed, well stated, what is wrong accommodating other people? How has removing this change your life? Jonathan is playing politics with myopic Christians who would feel they have won some sort of victory, while him and his cronies continue ruing the economy implicitly or explicitly. When people think illiterates are the only one manipulable by religion we fail to the see the fact that myopic literates fare no better!

Y'all can cry us a river.
Labelling the removal of Arabic inscription from our Naira note as a sort of victory for christians is an insult to the entire Christendom.

Talking about GEJ's politics of ruining our economy ,When your supposedly holy mallams ran this country to the ground for 40yrs What happened?

You people should be thanking God for people like GEJ.

pulling the nation out of o.i.c is still on the table, it will happen when the northern politicians have killed all their youths for selfish gains.

by then, there will be nobody to cause trouble for them because their own children are always not part of the mayhem team


anyway, what does APC have to say about it

Ask my dear friend....BEREM

post like this will make religion fanatics open teeth.....it does not decrease peoples faith in Islam. smh

Good thing they removed it..

there is ntin religious abt it.beta to remove so DAT oda religion will not think odawise.since English is our official language. Beta every inscription on d naira shld be official.

Mr @IdrisMusty97 did bring some valid points though.


Most people attacking him are just doing so out of ignorance.

I feel for you bro, but it really doesn't bother me since my language aint even there.

Idrismusty97:
@bolded that is the point! Just because they aren't comfortable with the Arabic inscription doesn't means it should be removed. In the same currency all the other languages are written signifying the worth of the naira e.g Nàírà Méwàà, Naira Iri and Naira Goma. Notice both the Yorubas and Igbos write in Latin alphabet. If the Hausas preferred to write their language in Arabic alphabet why stop them?

and who told u all hausas are Muslim and understand Arabic?...... maybe they should write over 300 languages we have In Nigeria on the note, that will be ok huh?

Which mods even push this to the frontpage with that silly headline. It is Hausa inscription written in Arabic(Ajami) not Islamic. It means Naira Dari(N100) as it is clearly written in the article. How is that Islamic? Learn to differentiate culture from religion!

Seun, Obinoscopy

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.

I also find it funny that the inscription made the brothers from the north to believe that Nigeria is exclusively theirs. So sorry brothers we r wiser...don't u agree?

the same as the essence for a general official language. It is expected of every citizen to understand the basics.
And even at that, Arabic is strongly intertwined with religion, Islam just like latin and hebrew to christianity and judaism, unlike Hausa.
And again, are 1,2,3... not arabic numerals? Wont those who know arabic understand?

This op sef! What's our business wt arabic? English language is our linguafranca! You've clearly stated the reason for its removal which is reasonable enough, why are you advocating for its inclusion again? An illterate is an illeterate! You can't read english, na arabic u go come de read? Moreover! Its not by reading that you get to know the value of each denomination. Even a toddler knows the difference between 100N and 20N let alone the so-called illeterates. Why didn't anybody take 100N to the market and buy a 10N worth of good and still does not know he has a change to collect all because he can't read english!

gebest:
THIS IS THE BEST THING JEG EVER DO SINCE HE ASUME OFFICE AS PRESIDENT.

Don't worry eh,after 2015 election the real GEJ will surface........let them rant over an inscription,when the same wind of change will blow across all facets of our national life ,then you'll understand the true nature of the Gambari man and his foot soldiers.
We are waiting.

It will be a great mistake if goverment alow religious iscription on our naira,it does not matter the way you see it, Nigeria is a seculer state so what ever that is done by federal goverment must be void of religious undertone.and again looking at the level of violent islam has introduced in the world, it will rise serious questions if a goverment like ours with what boko haram is doing in Nigeria will tellor any national emblem or curency to identify with islam, He whose brother or sister is dancing naked in the market square will cover his face in shame,He who share boundry with mad men must not sleep with his two eyes closed.who want to identify with this insane religion.

This is good,the next thing is to remove anything related to arabic from our constitution too. Nigeria belongs to all!

Though an instrument of Muslims hagemonism



But let me ask ;

can this help the economy

Can this help the Naira from unending fall into the oblivion

bright8:
About time jare. No ethnic group owns Nigeria more than the other.English is our official language. If you no sabi am, leave am!

nonsense does d Arabic on d note implies dat a particular ethnic group own Nigeria, just tell us you hate Islam.
smh awon eyan elero kukuru

you are only talking about hate.
you are not talking about the cause of the hate you percieve which is forceful islamisation.
For crying out loud, cant Hausa be used instead!

Too many goats in this country. Fighting, rejoicing and arguing over Arabic inscription on naira note.

The Arabic inscription didn't stop you goats from killing yourselves over the naira not, neither did it stop your useless leaders from stealing.

Make una dey there dey fight on top Arabic inscription. Una no go fight for bad roads, poor electricity, poor education, poor leadership, etc. Na Arabic writing una dey fight for.

They be pretending as if they won't spend the naira note even if the devil's head was drawn on it. Mumu people.

maclatunji:


Comments like yours make me laugh.

Keep laughing.He just say the truth.

ndcide:
