| Jonathan RETURNS Star of David on Nigerian currency: Muslims blare fire. The Star of David was surreptitiously removed Nigerian currency at Independence by the Northern Oligarchy who replaced it with Arabic symbols. |
For decades the Arabic inscription was all over the Nigeria Naira notes, signifying that Nigeria was an Islamic country. This is despite the fact that more than half of Nigeria's population are not Muslims. Muslims held sway in every facet of Nigerian affair and the non Muslim were living in darkness, oblivious of how they have been taken for granted. Not until 2005, under the reign of Professor Charles Soludo as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria that Arabic inscriptions, which have always been on Nigerian currency since 'independence' were removed from N5, N10, N20 and N50 denominations, but retained on the N100, N200, N500 and N1,000 notes.
