demented, deranged souls!

how is English Bible language?

with the associated suicide bombing and the evils this religion, Ocult group, has brought to this world, no country should be associated with any resemblance of same

Why must you talk in lieu with insult, it's as simple as "it's wrong to symbolize Arabic on Naira note , since this is a British colonized country".
I'm a Muslim but like seriously MURIC shouldn't make Islam look sentimental by saying if Arabic ain't on naira note English shouldn't be there.
The anjami was only introduced due to the fact that Nigeria was first ruled by a northerner where Islam is their priority. let's just stay together and do things like families.
Moreover how true is this story?

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.

So much hypocrisy and absurdity.

Everytime they keep telling us Islam is a religion of peace and i wonder if there is a different meaning of the word peace as used in this context. Saying Islam is a religion of peace is a great travesty! is like saying honey is bitter! I just tire jare!

He shouldnt be saying that now. If he felt it wasnt proper he shld have spoken up wen former president removed the Arabic whatever. He is talking now because the president there now is a muslim and expects him to do all the Islamic group say. This is crazy. Prof my ass. He needs a rehab for atleast a year.

That's Nigeria -- while some Nigerian group aspire to fly to the moon as is done in other advancing countries, another Nigerian groups talk of religion - like this ones talking about returning adjami writing to the Naira.



I ask my Yoruba brothers, why do some Yoruba people - especially the Muslim Yorubas - try to intimidate the Igbo against Biafra?

Don't these Yoruba people understand that Yorubaland with all the human and material resources should have developed more than what it is today if not for the drawbacks of one Nigeria?

Finally, don't these Yoruba understand that it's not possible to FORCE three major ethnic groups with little or no commonly shared value systems to form one country

Talk please.
Call them 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 reader.
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.

This just goes to tell you how much lies egomaniac religious bigot like this use their influence (Professor) to brainwash their ignorant and educated followers. Being a professor of probably Islamic studies, they believe him to be so well educated that he is correct.
What a shame on his title. This is how they tell lies about the Bible and deliberately misinterpret Bible passages to stair up hatred in their followers

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.”

Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

Actually, Nigeria does have Arab subgroups called Shuwa Arabs and they are indigenous to Borno State.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baggara

They speak Arabic, but they are Nigerian.

Can you imagine the Islamists? They are just there to continue to undermine people from other tribes. What they reason is to say who are they? What can them do? Afterall, we can do, take any action and go free. We have enough men to fight include the Fulanis all over the world to support those of us in Nigeria. What can any group of persons do to us?
You can imagaine Buhari appointing his sister and daughter as INEC boss without looking back to say whether of not if there is any moral justification.

Anything ISLAM tends to be opposite of peace


Biafra group wants to distance itself from Nigeria so that what is left of Nigeria after Biafra can sew uniform with Adjame language write-ups; even have a currency, National anthem, Language of instruction at school - all in Adjame language.

On this basis, I say to my Yoruba brothers, please steer clear of Biafra. On the day of referendum, if the southsouth votes to join Nigeria, that's it.

Firstly,is he really a professor? If so then NUC should probe that university he got his professorship. See what exactly define his myopic reasoning with such question that even his two years daughter will not ask. what has Nigeria gained from removing Arabic from the naira? So what was the gain attached with that arabic inscription in our own naira note? This country must divide if we really want peace to reign.

TonyeBarcanista:
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.
