The symbolism of the Nigeria army logo:
1. The two interlaced triangle-like six-pointed star:
This is the first symbol of Nigerian “unity” and it was first struck by lugard in 1914. This was put in place when the northern and southern protectorates were merged to form one nigeria, which explains the interlacing of the two stars. The Nigerian army is meant to maintain the forced “unity” of Nigeria.
2. The arabic script:
The transliteration of the arabic script on the Nigerian army logo is: nasrunminallah which means: “victory comes from god alone”. The motto was formerly that of uthman dan fodio, head of the sokoto caliphate. Uthman dan fodio was a jihadist with a religious ideology to back up his Jihad, which he expressed in many writings. Beginning in 1804 he and his Fulani flag bearers quickly overthrew most of the Hausa leaders, putting Hausa land for the first time under the sokoto caliphate. Thereafter the muslims conducted razzias against the Blacks (labelled “pagan”) of the middle-belt for enslavement to the british, while they pushed relentlessly through Nupeland (1830) and the Oyo empire (1824-1836) towards the coast. The inclusion of the arabic motto was done by the british when the Northern Nigeria regiment and later the combined Nigeria regiment (when lugard supervised the merging of Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914) adopted the sokoto motto.
This implies a collaboration between the british christians and sokoto caliphate muslims in the subjugation and genocide of Blacks in west-central Afrika that has been ongoing to this day4 Comments-
This piece of history is very interesting. I now understand why I hear fellow Nigerians express that the amalgamation of Nigeria brought so much harm than good. Could this explain why there are movements advocating for the creation of separate states for example Oduduwa Republic and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)?-
Yes. This is the reason. The brits amalgamated the southerners into one country with the caliphate because they had guarantee to continue using the caliphate to enslave and exterminate Blacks. Almost everyday hundreds of people are being murdered in what the journalists label “farmer-herder clashes” which is in reality a genocide campaign (jihad) using british/amerikkkan supplied weapons. It is britain that is the hidden hand behind the sokoto caliphate. This is the plantation that Oduduwa Republic and IPOB want to rescue themselves from
