Of course there are many who call themselves chrisrians because theyre not Muslims yet they don't know anything about the kingdom they represent. We are indeed wailers-crying and interceding for your likes to find Jesus.

Your answer is the senseless one and I doubt if you are a christian so why was it not written in the Jewish, Igbo or Yoruba?

Our lingual franca has ever been English long before 1914 so the inscription was a calculated and deliberate scheme to islamise the army therewith Nigeria as a whole.

Nigeria's problem is foundational which can be corrected but we must first agree that our problems are foundational before we can correct

God bless Nigeria
God help Nigeria

It is one of the languages we speak. On many of the insignia worldwide the Latin language is used even when none of them speak Latin or ever did as a nation.

Awusa!

So which day does the ibo man speak arabic? Or the yoruba man asides ile ekewu?

Share 243 Tweet 0

•Offers to recover N600m and help trace the balance
•Bafarawa: I got N100m but Yuguda didn’t tell me where it came from

The embattled former Minister of State, Bashir Yuguda, has told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he gave a total of N600million cash to six chairmen of the Contact and Mobilisation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2015 general election.

He listed the beneficiaries as Bode George (South-West); Amb. Yerima Abdullahi (North-East); Peter Odili (South-South); Attahiru Bafarawa (North-West);  Jim Nwobodo (South -East); and Ahmadu Ali (North-Central).

He said he instructed Jabbama Limited to transfer N300million to BAM Properties whose account detail was given to him by a former National Chairman of PDP, Bello Haliru.

Yuguda, who made the allegations in a Statement of Witness/ Caution which he wrote on oath, said he sent N200million to the erstwhile PDP Governorship candidate in Kebbi State, Bello Sarkin Yaki.



He said a former Governor of Zamfara State, Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, also got N100million.

The statement is part of the proof of evidence against the former minister whose trial is scheduled to commence this week at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Yuguda will stand trial with ex-Governor Attahiru Bafarawa and his son, Sagir Attahiru; Dalhatu Investment Limited.

The ex-minister is expected to account for over N3.050billion including N1.1billion being part of the funds in the account of the ONSA and aggregate sum of N1,950,000 belonging to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which sum was transferred to Jabbama Ada Global Services.

The ex-minister said: “For the cash disbursement of N600million, it was meant for the six zonal chairmen for Contact and Mobilisation Committees for Election of 2015. The chairmen are Bode George, Amb. Yerima Abdullahi; Peter Odili; Attahiru Bafarawa; Jim Nwobodo; Ahmadu  Ali. The sum of N100million was given to each chairman. I gave the money in company of Prof. Alkali, who was Political Adviser to former president. The zonal chairmen are for the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). I also instructed Jabbama Limited to transfer the sum of N100m to Dalhatu Limited on the request of Attahiru Bafarawa.

“I also remember that Bello Sarkin Yaki was among the people that the then NSA instructed that I send the sum of N200million to. He was the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Kebbi State.”

Yuguda, who claimed that he had liaised with Stallion Limited, gave the details of other disbursements.

His words: “I knew the chairman of Stallion Limited whose second name I cannot remember. Between December 2014 to June 2015, on the instruction of the then NSA, I introduced Jabbama Limited to a staff of the company on the instruction of the chairman.

“When the account was in credit, disbursement was made from time to time on the instruction of the then NSA. Part in foreign exchange or transfers.

“I wish to add that sometime in February 2015, I instructed Jabbama to transfer the sum of N300m to BAM Properties. The account was given to me by Bello Haliru as one of the people the former NSA requested me to give money. I also remember that Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi was sent the sum of N100million on the instruction of the then NSA.

“Further to my statement of 30th November, 2015, I have brought the sum of $829,800(equivalent to N200m) and N600m was given to me to distribute to the six PDP Zonal Committee chairmen. I don’t know who are the directors of Dalhatu Investment Limited but funds were transferred to the company’s account on the instruction of Dalhatu Bafarawa for the total amount of N1.5billion received from the then NSA by Jabbama Limited.

“I shall endeavour to recover the sum of N600million given to the six zonal PDP committee chairmen, while I appeal to the commission to use their machineries to trace the remaining balance of the money transferred to various accounts.”

The former minister however denied receiving another N200million credited to him.

“I have been shown transaction of N200million from the Office of the Accountant-General to Jabbama which Jabbama said it’s on my instruction but I cannot remember this instruction until I crosscheck,” he said.

Some of the charges against Yuguda are: “That you Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki whilst being National Security Adviser and Shaibu Salisu, whilst being the Director of Finance and Administration in the Office of the National Security Adviser, Bashir Yuguda whilst being the Minister of State for Finance between 5th February and 16th April 2015 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court entrusted with dominion over certain properties to wit: an aggregate sum of N1.1billion being part of the funds in the account of the National Security Adviser with CBN committed criminal breach of trust in respect of the said property when you transferred same to the account of Jabbama Ada Global Services Nigeria Limited for the purpose of financing the campaign of PDP in the 2015 general election and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 315 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol.4, LFN 2004.

“That you, Bashir Yuguda whilst being Minister of State for Finance between 23rd December 2014 and 10th February, 2015 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court dishonestly misappropriated certain property to wit: an aggregate sum of $9,809,619 which was an equivalent of the aggregate sum of N1,950,000 belonging to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which sum was transferred to Jabbama Ada Global Services to be converted into the said dollars and you  thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 309  of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol.4, LFN 2004.”

Meanwhile, a former Governor of Sokoto State, Alh. Attahiru Bafarawa, admitted that he collected N100million from Yuguda through Sagir Attahiru.

Bafarawa, in his statement to the EFCC, said: “I know Bashir Yuguda. He called me to tell me there is money to be given for (sic) the North-West Campaign Committee which I asked how much and he told me is N100million for the seven states and ask (sic) to give it to Sagir which he did and the money was sent to the states campaign committee between 20th and 21st of February 2015 for the PDP Campaign for General Election.

“He did not tell me where the money was coming from. I did not ask him where the money was coming from.

“Sagir is my son and I directed Sagir to send the money to state chairmen campaign committee for PDP North-West.

“I also received N100million (dollar equivalent) from the North-West Campaign Committee. The money was given to me in the PDP National Chairman, Alh. Adamu Muazu house in Abuja in the presence of all the zonal chairmen as listed …and after collecting all this (sic) money, I gave the money to Abdullahi Yauri who was the Secretary of the North-West Campaign Committee to share to the state chapter and Yuguda didn’t tell me where he got the money from.”

Mightymanna:
there is nothing wrong with it. after all we've been using latin and greek inscriptions.e.g aluta continua victory acerta but some people think that everything arabic is Islamic

A lot of things are very wrong with it.
Major Languages in Nigeria - Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa.

Question is why arabic! Na only Quran alone we day read for here? Why indirectly implement sharia nd islamic laws into a nation? Is it necessary?

nwaanambra1:


you are economical with the truth!

THAT INSCRIPTION TRANSLATES TO "ONLY ALMIGHTY ALLAH CAN GRANT VICTORY - ONLY ALLAH!"

LIKE THE OP. MY QUESTION IS - IS ARABIC PART OF OUR LINGUAL FRANCA?


WHY NOT WRITE IT IN ENGLISH??



THIS IS WHY I SOMETIME WONDER IF THIS COUNTRY WAS REALLY MEANT FOR ALL OF US!


FEW DAYS AGO ONE MOFUKA PUBLISHED LIST OF CIVIL SERVANTS BY STATES BUT FAILED TO ALSO GIVE US LIST OF OUR MILITARY, PARAMILITARY AND OTHER SERVICES PERSONNEL BY STATES OF ORIGIN!

it is hypocrisy

We have it on our Naira, now on the NA flag.


Please they should tell us the meaning fast.

If those inscriptions are indeed Arabian, I'm of the opinion it should be changed to English, Nigeria is not a Arab country, we're colonies of the British.

Zaikon:

Cos change is here!

dahaz:
'Victory is from God'

Imagine, it's nice sha, but would have preferred if it was written in English or they do like the naira, in our native languages

selfemployed:


why not write it igbo, or yoruba language? does the nigerian army belong to arabs?

Ihejirika, johnathan and obasanjo were there and could not corect all these rubbish
is it buhari and elrufai that will correct it?

Why not write it in Efik, Ijaw or other Nigerian languages? Are Ibo, Yoruba or Hausa the only languages spoken in the country?

It means victory belong to Allah

End Time Wailers..

How do you know our lingua franca was English before 1914?

northvietnam:

why write it in Arabic, is Arabic our lingual franca

Abeg if u ask me ,na who I go ask

it had to be written In Arabic eh.....y not Hebrew?

Hausa owns nigeria, while we are their neighbors

If we can still be thinking like this I belive Nigeria. Has a long way to go religion and ethnicity has always been the problem of Nigeria if we can grow pass that I will then say Nigeria as come of age

Go ask sojo na

Zaikon:
thumbs up® do you think Pmb. can?

My strong take is that he will pretend as if it is not as important as getting jobs for the Nigerian youths!
Muslim /Christian sentiments will always be here for a long while! Check from even amongst young people on Nairaland...if the question is put here...
If you want that Arabic insignia removed...all the AYEs will be Christians and all the NAYs will be Muslims! As in all on both sides of the divide..so where do we go from here?
