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
He must have sown so much poison into the minds of the susceptible. This is why I fear these scholarly terrorists, they have more followership than their violent partners.
In all, I pity those who allow others think for them.

Brainiacmrtolz:
Sometimes I find it hard to understand the way some Muslims think undecided

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...

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 Adetola or Akintola or whatever is shortsighted.

He should have written this letter in Arabic Ajamin or be speaking in that language.

If he has insisted that Nigerian languages be more pronounced on the note, that would be understandable but saying 'domination by elimination' is insufficient. He really meant 'domination by imposition' cos that's what that he is suggesting.

We didn't vote Buhari to impose Islamic tendencies on Nigeria. We have a secular country, and it should remain so...

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.

Yeah they should return the ajanmi and also add the Crucifix of Jesus Christ on one end of the note, Sango on the other end, the star of David on the other and finally the offor on the other end. No body should be left unrepresented even atheists.

We don't have Arabs but we have people who cannot read English text but can only read Arabic text.


So my brother in faith it does make sense returning the Arabic text.

The Arabic sign was only removed from 100naira and not all Nigeria Naira. If out of 7 notes range from 5naira- 1000naira only 100naira own was remove why the shout for reversal of it. Are they not satisfied and why the shout does the sign add interest or help the country either been remove or not

Na Today?

Federal govt of Nigeria through Dora Akunyili as Federal Minister of Information and Toni Iredia as NTA Director pumped millions of Dollars into and refurbish NTA to rival other first class TV stations of other developed countries. NTA improved tremendously then.

But shortly after that, women TV newscasters and TV programme presenters killed NTA - as they were dressing like masquerades advertising all sorts of Islamic Hijabs on NTA. If people said no to overt religious display on national TV, they would tell the nay sayers that they were against Islam
