holatin:

thank God you said it yourself HIDING UNDER ISLAM TO PERPETRATE EVIL. dat all I need since even though you gullible you know there aren't real Muslim and don't follow ways of Islam.
point of correction am not ranting am only pointing out what some of ur brothers in Christian do says about us.
last bullet
am not a USA Freak am only defending my belief

Look if you are familiar with world politics first the arab world does not recognize the muslim from Nigeria part of the reasons IBB was doing everything possible to gain relevance for the muslims in Nigeria by paying billions and doing other horrible things as well to achieve that. Secondly, the northern muslim has no regards for the southern muslim ( the yoruba muslims) if you doubt me go to the north and do anyhow that you are a muslim from the south and they will slit your throat. And you being a yoruba muslim trying to impress the northern muslim only tantamount to waste of effort. So stop killing yourself because nobody knows you exist as a muslim in the north not to talk about in the arab world.

IYANGBALI:
Thank God I doesn't spend naira

English has failed you..

wordcat:


My question is "Is there any LATIN WORD on our notes"

There has also neverbeen any arabic word on our note- only hausa using arabic alphabets.



mind u.I am not ,have never and will never be a muslim.so ds is not about speaking for islam.I am only helping u understand what he has been tryg to make u understand.

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

How does Jonathan and indeed Christians promote secularity
Don't you think then that we should not go to work on Fridays
Or at least 1st half of the year or every odd no year, we don't go to work on Fri and vice versa

Built2last:
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...

And how are you guys promoting inclusion?
Infact you celebrate removal of every sign of Islam. Is that how you show it belongs to us all
The hate based on falsehood that your pastors preach must be frightening

Built2last:
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.

If they had done it, what would have happened? You guys just throw up conspiracy theories
Is Lagos not the smallest state? how would it cope
Do you know that Nigeria is not the first country to change its capital
Do you recall the gridlock in Lagos whenever Jonathan comes around
Did you know that the committee that was responsible for selecting a new capital was headed by Justice Akinola Aguda

Built2last:
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.

You are a dangerous writer
This is not the first time that this will be done
Soludo started it. Was there any riot?
You guys speak lies but pretend to be authoritative about it

Built2last:
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.

Your uncle - now, we don't know him or even if he exists, do we?
Anyway my own uncle said that Yaradua had good plans. Did my uncle not say that. So Your Uncle 1, My Uncle 1 = draw
At least I recall that he said he could not host the 2009 U17 for N36b and held out until it was slashed to N9b
Google it
But we know how oil subsidy easily topped N2tr under Jonathan

Built2last:

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.

And this is how we take decisions
Anybody can say anything and we just accept it as the truth!!!
Is this how decisions are made in a progressive country?
So you think anyone cannot come up with the "real reason" that Jonathan sacked Sanusi?
Something like "Jonathan wanted to sequester money away for his election rigging plans and Sanusi refused!"

Built2last:
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.

So Obj wanted to continue ruling right through Yaradua's time
The nickel dropped!
So the country belongs to all of us
But Yaradua should be subject to Obj's grand re-denomination plan
You forget
You forget
That Soludo introduced a new note (N1,000) and shortly after he wanted to re-denominate
And he also introduced coins before his redenomination plan
Is that not confusion?
How is that a manifestation of a grand plan?
And what is so strategic about the re-denomination plan? And Obj did not announce it? Even very sound economists faulted it?
All these convoluted lying should stop

Built2last:
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.

To start, who is benefitting from Boko Haram - APC or Jonathan. Of course it is Jonathan - no election in APC dominant-areas
Why should he do anything. You have been suckered
Remind me again the reason why Boko Haram took lives during the time of Yaradua
prompting Yaradua to order the violent suppression of their rebellion leading to the death of their leader?
Yet when Jonathan was going to embark on his strange ceasefire, people wondered why he was doing it at the time when BO was weak!
So why are we not killing BH when they are weak and yet they are now killing us
BH is mostly Kanuri - Buhari is Fulani
BH is in the NE
So why are the "hateful" Hausa/Fulani in the NW not the core of BH?
And we know that the NW inspite of your hateful message gave sizable votes to Jonathan in 2011

Built2last:
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.

To start with, some of us suffer from Amnesia tell us the authoritative source for your statement
I hope it is not some aunt that told you
And Jonathan's second term is borne out of the love for Nigeria?
When Fashola was opening the Ikoyi bridge, he commended Yaradua for RAPIDLY giving approval for the demolition of a FG building that would be affected by the
Your Nigerians-loving Jonathan brought in soldiers to stop Fashola from constructing a building in Ilubirin
It took this Nigerians-loving Jonatan 3 weeks Aug 13 to meet govenrors after Ebola landed in Nigerian shores
It took him less than 48 hours to move against Tambuwal
He sacked Justice Salami on a Sunday and also formed PDP-gov forum on a Sunday
Jonathan went for rally in Kano and birthday party the day after Nyanya bomb blast
But cancelled FEC meeting due to Sambo younger brother's death
Are you for real?

Built2last:
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.

You are ungrateful and don't fear God
Yaradua's state of Katsina gave JONATHAN 25% of their VOTES
Kano gave him 17%
Tell us the what the South gave Buhari?

Built2last:
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.

What intellectual minds
This is pure sophistry
and is not so well done
SO this premise of theirs was disclosed to you? Where did they say it? Intellectual minds without proof?
With contradictory statements
This country is sick
Jonathan's supporters will claim any reason to present him as a victim

Built2last:
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.

So why is Jonathan President and Fashola or Duke is not?
How come Utomi fizzled out and Jonathan waxed strong in 2011?
What is Patience doing lording it over everyone from Bayelsa to Rivers to Kwaras to Oyo to Delta?
Did you listen to Amaechi - 3rd mainland bridge, the Refineries, NLNG, Pipelines, Abuja, etc were done by Northerners
But Jonathan, a southern product of quota system, has been talking about East-West road for 6 years
yes we have a fantastic transformation on radio and tv
Logs in your eyes. LOOOOk!

Built2last:
But try that and see the viper react...It must be them or nothing.

What viper? Are you not saying that Jonathan will be president on Feb 14?
So they just want the APC ticket and not the presidency?
And how come this viper did not stop Jonathan from returning himself as the sole PDP candidate
This has never happened before
Is Jonathan deepening democracy?

Built2last:
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.

So how come a weak Jonathan is your choice
How did he get there?
Another of Obj's grand plan?

Built2last:
Today, my people cry for remeberance of June 12 and they laugh from Minna and Kano.

Leave Minna and Kano
Visit Lagos and Ogun that commemorate June 12
But what about Oyo state? Ondo? Delta? Akwa Ibom? Rivers? Are they not laughing too then?
Who is stopping the Houses of Assembly in the South from making June 12 public holiday
Yoiu are a wicked liar and you need to really begin to fear God
What did Obasanjo do to immortalise Abiola? Was he not the first

Built2last:
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.

And your poisoned pen is deadlier than BokoHaram's evil
We know Jonathan covers up for his incompetence by using religion and ethnicity to divide and distract
Chief Arthur Eze, campaigning for PDP in Anambra gov elections, said in the presence of Jonathan that "we voted for him (Ngige) and he now joined Awolowo's party (ACN)"
Did Jonathan rebuke him? Did he caution Asari for saying that Northerners are parasites
Did he censure people who are saying that it does not matter whether Jonathan performs or not, vote him, he is a Christian
You think that is how to build a country?

I am not your enemy! I have Muslim friends! It is the terrorism practiced by your people that I don't like! For God's sake, there is something known as "the sanctity of human life."

As i read this post, i started looking for #100 because i never notice any arabic writing on it. .

Viciyus:

this is were we know you are lying, the chinese currency those not have any arabic inscription in it. so dont try and exagerate everything

:PI don't know the depth of your knowledge in history my dear Nairalander. If you have money to stake as to whether numerals 1,2... 50 etc are or are not arabic I go gladly do am. We were taught this in primary 4e (over 3 decades ago) dede.

The peace we still enjoy in this country is because the christians are tolerant, if it were to be muslims that are being cheated we all know what would have happened. Christains will not still keep quiet when we know of your islamization plan, this is done other changes will also follow we will no longer keep quiet enough is enough.

who told u am trying to impress someone, did u actually read my text ? if you do and am certain English is not a stranger to you, you will see that I said am defending my belief.
will u say because u are not a catholics u wount defend ur religion when someone is arguing that Jesus wount come back again. u may be different but u re Ve d same religion maybe a little and different belief.
don't tell me no one know I exist as a Muslim again, do u know what umrah and hajj is all about ?
even the most worse of all man know their are people like him.

Very dumb move.

Nigeria belongs to all. If English is on the note, why take out arabic when one of our largest ethnicity speaks it?

Shoit happens in third-world countries.

Educate Muslims on the relationships amongst muslims
And I know that you would also educate us on Christianity
Yes, we know, don't we, that Muslims were specially created to have no brain
Very well done

Anyway for your information, I have had the privilege of confronting an Arab in his country about Islam
If you know Islam, you seek the pleasure of Allah and not the pleasure of anyone
We are enjoined to make our religion sincere for Allah

Muslims don't seek to impress others - that is hidden shirk

Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, [O Muhammad], in truth. So worship Allah , [being] sincere to Him in religion.

Qur'an 39:2

Muslims are ranked by conduct, not bt tribe. Thank you

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

Qur'an 49:13

The argument that the Arabic inscription on the old currency serves as the only means of identification of the denomination by the nay-sayers is an insult on northern illitrates.
I believe in freedom of choice, if anyone is not comfortable with the new currency, he/she should not spend or accept the new bank notes. Simple.

David A. B. Mark for President 2019.
@OP. Just part of the Arabic was removed and you are ranting. There's still 100 written on the note, which according to my elementary arithmetic teacher, is an Arabic number.

GEJ has lost focus.He flies to Jerusalem all the time and bow down for Adeboye like a slave,yet no one called him christian fundamentalist.Oil price is falling,unemployment rate is increasing,power supply is getting worse,all food prices are increasing,our infrastures are dilapitating,people are dying in the NE all the time,our graduates are half baked,people are dying of diseases.Our President has no will power to solve just one of these but he has the boldness to remove Ajami inscription on the naira as if that is y we elect him. Just give us good governance if u like write everytin on the naira in Arabic,Hebrew,Latin,Greek,phonecian,creol,Pidgin English that one no concern sensible Nigerians.

Everyone go learn English... That's our lingual franca... If u can't, at least learn the major indigenous languages; Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa....

So? Is 100 written as 100 in Arab countries
dot is zero in Arabic
100 is written as 1..
and zero is 5

There are many tribes in Nigeria, not Hausa only. If Hausa language should be written on the note, all other dialects should be written because there are people in those tribes that dont understand English Language too. Nonsense ' born to rule' concept

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.

What is this man talking about? If the issue is minor why are people including you nagging about it? Do you know how many christians have been killed in this country recently , churches burnt all because they are not muslims? Ismaic clerics and congregations are continually wipped off... What issue is more sensitive than the safety and security of lives?
Let us just keep praying God continues to water the hearts of christians bc one thing i know is that guns, bombs, knives and whatever can be carried and used even by Christians as well and not only by muslims alone. [quote] so when bombs go off in the north it only kills chistains, when there are shoot outs it only kills chirstains, the market places, schools, banks are strictly christains...reason, the notherners are the victims, the muslims in majority...who are those that live in fear? Ur concern is dat churches are burnt and chirstains are killed but truthfully u forget to be honest...it kills all irrespective of tribe or religion. U live in safety here in the south or southwest yet u accuse the victims of causing harm on them selves
