This isn't the view of all Muslims

I believe one Nigeria is a joke, the Muslims are the major problem of this country.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asked the federal government to withdraw the N100 note from circulation over what it described as “the removal of the Arabic Ajami sign from the currency by the administration of former president of Goodluck Jonathan in 2014.

In a statement released on Tuesday by the Director of MURIC, Prof Ishaq Akintola, the group condemned the action of the former president, saying that the removal of the sign was a major failure of his administration.







While describing the new note released by the Jonathans administration in 2014 as inferior, MURIC called for the reinstatement of the Arabic Ajami and the withdrawal of the N100 and N200 notes printed during Jonathan’s regime

The statement read, “The administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan officially issued the N100 commemorative centenary banknote on 19th December 2014. A major feature of that banknote was the removal of Arabic Ajami.


“Nigerians consider Jonathan’s N100 note inferior to others printed earlier. It is of very low quality. It tears easily. It lacks second-hand value. It grows soft and fragile with time, thereby making it difficult to handle or fold in people’s pockets or wallets. It has therefore failed as a veritable means of exchange. Placed side by side with the old N100 note which still has the Arabic Ajami inscription and which is still in circulation, Jonathan’s N100 shrinks into oblivion.

“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is constrained to affirm that Jonathan’s N100 note is a fiscal embarrassment, a huge disappointment and a colossal waste of the nation’s scarce resources. Three and a half years on, Jonathan’s N100 note has qualified for the worst banknote ever printed in Nigeria. It is a national disgrace. This banknote should be withdrawn from circulation.

“It is not too difficult to guess what went wrong. Jonathan was blinded by his anti-Arabic sentiment that he ignored quality control measures. His only concern was to implement the hate agenda of a few anti-Muslim elements who are bent on eliminating all vestiges of Islam from the Nigerian environment.

“It was not the first time this would happen. Arabic inscriptions which have always been on Nigerian currency since independence were unceremoniously removed in 2005 from N5, N10, N20 and N50 denominations during the reign of Olusegun Obasanjo. It must be noted that there has been surreptitious pressure from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for the removal of Arabic from the naira.

“But Nigerians need to know that this move was calculated to hurt the Muslim population and may end up as a disservice to the nation. The average Northerner cannot read any other script except in Arabic Ajami and anyone who wants to communicate with him effectively must use the Ajami, not even writings in the Hausa language can help in this matter. Millions of Northerners have therefore been marginalized by removing the Arabic Ajami from Jonathan’s poor quality N100 note and Obasanjo’s N5, N10, N20 and N50 denominations.

“The removal of Arabic Ajami is being interpreted as an attempt to discourage the learning and use of Arabic language which is the language of the Glorious Qur’an. It is a sensitive religious matter. Nobody can do this in Nigeria and expect the Muslims to organize a carnival for him. But as usual, our leaders manifest the noun ‘deaf’ and the verb ‘to ignore’.

“MURIC complained in 2005 when Obasanjo removed Arabic Ajami from new naira notes. The fact that Jonathan repeated the same thing has raised concern among Muslims. Why does Arabic always become the victim any time a Christian becomes president? It means that there is a conspiracy to gradually and tactically eliminate Arabic Ajami. It is only logical to expect the removal of Arabic from other notes when another Christian becomes president.

“When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning and rain?’ When will these conspirators descend on the remaining notes which still has Arabic Ajami on them: N100, N200, N500 and N1,000? Should we expect the removal of Arabic Ajami from these remaining denominations when another Christian becomes president? Is it ‘when the hullybully is done and gone?’ Or is it ‘when the battle is lost and won?’ It looks very much like an agendum continuum.

“Currencies worldwide are designed to suit each nation’s culture and history. Incidentally, Nigeria is a multireligious entity. In this case, therefore, our cultural and religious homogeneity should be the criteria, particularly when designing our banknotes, our stamps, etc.

“But these two Christian presidents (Obasanjo and Jonathan) failed in this onerous task. They retained the English letters, which symbolize Christianity and removed the Arabic Ajami which stands for Islam. It is simply bad leadership. They allowed sectional interests to override their avowed neutrality. What else is ethnic cleansing? We are all taxpayers and to that extent we all deserve representation.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we as Muslims are ready and willing to peacefully coexist with our Christian neighbors, but on equal terms. It must be with the proviso: ‘live and let live’. No more, no less. We believe that the religion of the president is of little consequence so long as he is fair to all. We will always address issues, not primordial sentiments and, by the way, our Arabic is very dear to us. It is tangential, not peripheral.

“In conclusion, MURIC demands the withdrawal of Jonathan’s N100 note from circulation and the reinstatement of Arabic Ajami on N200, N500, and N1,000 denominations. We affirm that Jonathan’s N100 note was a scam. We, therefore, call for a probe. We warn against any attempt by any future Nigerian leader to remove Arabic Ajami from the few remaining denominations. We will not hesitate to deploy every constitutional means at our disposal to stop such an attempt now or in future.”

I think someone in the corridors of power is not only listening to them,but appears to be encouraging them in this ill adventure.
Hold on,could that be the reason why no new N100 notes are being printed as they ought to ?
Drive through Lekki toll gate ,pay with crispy clean note, then watch the attendants stack up some bunch of dirty smelling N100 notes as your change

Abeg make una find somewhere go siddon

I can now see why they have stopped producing new 100 Naira notes. It is the old one that is being recycled and so dirt and worn out. Chai this country na wa.

Very stupid set of people,na the arabic sign be the problem wey dey the country?

this country is a total mess, does the removal of the so called arabic sign, what the death of a single mad man, not to talk of the thousands of death happening every where. since buhari made his intention known to contest for the 2019 presidential election, every body wants to leave this country. hunger, stealing, death every where. but he cant win again.

Why is your own English confusing you. Glaring you just learn new words from the dictionary but cant couple them.

Very troublesome people, always looking for trouble everywhere and every time. Religion of peace my foot

oh my belle

MrPeterson:
Why are we still backward in this country. Must everything decline to religious line? The other day some people where climbing light pole to reach god. Rubbish

brobro:
I am beginning to think that circulation of dirty 100 note is deliberate. They are calling Nigeria currency Jonathan's 100 note. This is intentionally be done because Jonathan changed it from the previous one and removed Arabic whatsoever on it. This guys should think of something productive to do.

You'll be surprised that this government would soon listen to them and produce new notes with the inscription

booqee:
The Christians can as well request to have 'Jesus is Lord' written on the N200 note. mtchew

I think it's time for Christians to demand for Hebrew language on all Nigerian currency.

How on earth can a MURIC prof say this ‘They retained the English letters, which symbolize Christianity and removed the Arabic Ajami which stands for Islam‘. How does an English letter symbolize Christianity?
This one just weak me.

I don't think these people are OK at all. they have issues with everything in this world, but if that is the case, why were they born self? always feeling insecure about everything

We don't have to divide Nigeria the major tribal way (Hausas, Igbos and Yorubas), it should be done the religion way (Christians and Muslims).

All Yoruba muslims should migrate to meet their slave master in the North so they can practice their religion without problem without external. The very few Igbo Muslims can join them too while the Christians come together and have their nation in peace.

You think this is funny? You can never imagine how peaceful the two nations will be.

The truth that will hunt down the Yoruba muslims is the fulani or lemme say Northern muslims will never accept them as o e of them if they are not. They will be constantly persecuted till their brain resets but it will be too late for them.

fools everywhere
