New Muslim converts consisting of 17
Igbos, one Yoruba and a Northern Hausa
Christian were yesterday in Abuja charged
to uphold the tenets of Islam in order not
the lose the essence of their conversion.
The Chief Imam of Abuja National
Mosque, Sheik Musa Muhammed gave
the charge while administering the Oath
of Sha’adah on the converts and
pronouncing their newly adopted Muslim
names during the weekly Jumat Khutbah
(Sermon).
All the converts were unanimous in
affirming to the beauty of Islam as well as
the virtues seen in Muslims. They told
the Imam that they were attracted by
such qualities to Islam.
The new converts also commended the
Chairman of the Council of Village Heads
in Imo State, Chief Musa (Sylvester) O.
Dimunah, who accepted Islam in January
this year. They also commended a former
secretary of the council and the executive
secretary of Justice Mamman Nasir’s
Islamic Centre for Peace and Research,
Alhaji Ibrahim Biobo Nlomije, who they
said facilitated their conversion.
Alhaji Nlomije said the acceptance of
Islam by the newly converts was an
attestation that Islam is not a sectional
religion. He said such conversion attests
to the achievement of the Justice Nasir’s
Centre, which among others, deepens
religious tolerance and opens more
opportunities for non-Muslims to
embrace Islam.
He also commended the Bauchi, Imo,
Abia and Sokoto state governments for
their assistance to the centre.
The new converts from Imo State are
Chief Suleiman Nwachukwu (Udobundu 1
of Ifakala Mbaitoli), Ibrahim Uchenna
Ukah, Muhammad Sani Stanley Uziogwe,
Bello Kelvin Nmadu, Habibullah Kosoro
Ofolete, Jamilu Osita Agocha, Haruna
Chichebem Nwabirika, Abdulazeez Paschal
Iroegbulam, Suleiman Ifeanyi Uzoma,
Adam Nduka Nweko, Dawuda Nnaemeka
Uzoma, Aliyu Prince Onyekwume and
Musa (Anayo) Adugbaa.
Others are Abdulmalik Bongo Edet (Cross
River), Hassan Babalola Shegun (Ondo),
Nasir Peter Ndubisi (Anambra) and Bashir
Prince Dulla (Akwa Ibom).
It will be recalled that Chief Hassan
Ikenna Kelechi Amah and Mr Ahmed Aka
Onyero from Owerri, Imo state were last
August convert to Islam.

The Igbos are definitely from Imo State. It's all for money. They cannot hustle like Anambra people; so, they sell heir souls to Islam for money.
