On Scrutinizing the rules establishing the ISSF, its pertinent to note that ISSF is a sporting Event that leverage on the uniformity of belief of some people something similar to what we have in African cup of Nations, UEFA and other Sporting Event that leverages on common interest of peoples.
I will like to point out that we have similar sporting events in our communities where church members competes and MSSN members competes too.

Since sport is a major tool of bringing people together to foster unity.
Also its also well know that every human is entitled to self development and freedom to associate with any association that is not criminal inclined or secretive.

We can deduce that every Citizen of Nigeria is free to join any religious association(Locally or Internationally) they so wish to join for as long as such association is not criminally inclined nor secretive.

Membership of OIC membership is for all Muslims in this world that which to be a member irrespective of their country been Islamic country or not and by extension of this membership of ISSF is by virtue of been a member of OIC.

We can conclude that since every Muslim in Nigeria is entitled to freedom of association. its may not be wrong if the federation participate in the ISSF since ISSF is a competition for all Muslims not for Islamic countries.

I didn't read everything u wrote sha, but if they want to go, they should but the Nigerian government shouldn't sponsor them because every religion will start their own sport and will want to be sponsored.
