GogobiriLalas:
Victory is from God or in plain Arabic: Allah Akbar!

phemierowl:

First be told that allah can NOT give victory, but only God, may be that's why boko has been plummeting our army, in between nobody ask for holiday on sunday, sunday has been a resting day long before islam come to be, be wise

sweetgala:
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.

sweetgala:


Likewise it is not a language literately spoken in Nigeria, however it holds rank as one of the ancient languages of the human race. We could have used Latin and the result would be same.

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!

HIPOCRISY!!

achi4u:
Hausa owns nigeria, while we are their neighbors

bigeagleeye:

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?

imhotep:

The maga forgot that Military is also part of Civil Service.

jamst2:


Guy,this one isnt latin but arabic or should i say hausa arabic

nduchucks:
Most of you people are both racists, religious bigots and self hating tribalists, I'might sorry to say.

Why are you not complaining about the Roman Numerals in our Constitution, laws, and other government documentation? Why didn't you people ask the government whether we are all Roman Catholics?

abeg make una go find better work to do. Nan sense

gimakon:


Awusa!

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

walexwalata:
everything to some people is politics in Nigeria. what is wrong in us having the logo what it is? If you think with your religion, you must have your way in everything in Nigeria, then you are not fair and you cannot realize your expectation. How would you see it if the Muslims too ask for holiday on Fridays to allow them go to mosque like you people do on Sunday? You diplomatically argue, mend and manipulate issues to favour yourselves rather than allowing God to have His way. We understand the basis of your question. ''no be today''

Muslims are the best of mankind!

Neeson:


There are many ancient languages, why did it have to be Arabic, how many Nigerian ethnicities understand what those inscriptions mean?

kolanpas:
the last time i checked cross was the on our hospitals which is cristain symbol,saturday and sunday are our holiday which are cristain day of worship and cristainity was brought to nigeria by english men and north have been practising islam and writing in Arabic b4 they came.i think alot of things need to be changed

zeetyzin:

I want to believe am just dumb, allah akbar!
I dont av to comment if am not sure of wat am abt spewing because am a boko haram niqqa.

mofayodeyahoo:
Fed Govt. Can't afford 3 days off work for civil servant, you most of former leaders are from north, if it is convenient, muslims can raise the motion for friday as off against saturday in national ass.

Few muslim goes to (fed/state) works on friday in muslim dominated regions

oz4real83:
we DON'T Speak arabic though muslims use it. Point of correction

sweetgala:


I have just highlighted the source of your confusion, the notion that the inscription conceeda influence to the hausa.

The fact remains if you showed this to many hausa individuals they like yourself would not be able to read it. It is aramic not hausa Arabic which does not exist. It is not a language exclusive to Muslims.

It also holds significant rank in Nigeria as it is the first lettered language which Nigerians came in contact with before english or Portuguese. Before that we did not practice writing

TeamSimple:

Shut your trap,coz I see you don't know how christianity was spread in the past.

They speak arrogantly with the myopic view of christianity never having its own terrorist groups.

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?

jamst2:


ok! Thanks for the correction,i just do some google search for that...it looks aramic though cos aramic is a mixture of look-alike arabic & hebrew letters.

IbnSultaanc:
tmotmo: I will agree with you on this. However the
following should also be implemented alongside with
your suggestion: (1) Removal of all Crescent and/or
Cross signs in all public Hospitals, Schools and other
Government Buildings and Document (2) Declaration
of Sundays and Fridays and not Saturdays and
Sundays as weekly resting days. This could show that
the Country is not been Christianized as the present
Saturday and Sunday weekend do not allow non-
Christian to have full benefit of dedicated worshipping
on other days. Example of this is the Friday Service by
the Muslims and other days that might be for
traditional worshippers. Alternatively, maybe we should
scrap this weekend stuff/ religious related holidays
and do like they do in developed countries, and
workers get paid on the basis of hours worked for. I
can bet it, we might be a more productive Nation. NB:
Please don’t hide your response on the basis of "this
what our colonial masters handed over to us".
Remember, that colonial were not here alone, they
came with the CRUSADERS otherwise called
MISSIONARIES.
