About 'Ebonyi /Igbo Muslims ' by shallysgirl: 10:27am On Sep 25, 2017 |
This thread is for every Nigerian. We keep reading people write things like Ebonyi Muslim this, Ebonyi muslim that, igbo muslim bla blah blah. We need to clarify this Igbo and Ebonyi muslim story once and for all. I am Igbo, I finished school more than 15years ago, so you can guess my age. In my whole life, I have only met one igbo muslim and that was when I served in the north. Before then I didn't even know there were Igbos that were muslims so i found it difficult to believe at first but I was later convinced by his colleagues. The guy was the president of his faculty's muslim students association. I read about them though,but I never see or meet them,even on TV. I have also heard one or two Igbos who also have Islamic name,like Mustapha Chike-Obi who isn't even a muslim, I saw one on TV last week Dumebi Abubakar who was on the cast of a movie, and during my national service there was also this Igbo lady married to northern muslim,but she wasn't a muslim. After I met the igbo muslim during service, I made enquiries and found out there is a large family in Enugu Abdullahaziz Udeh family who are predominantly muslims. Coincidentally,the Igbo muslim guy I met is also from Enugu state too. This past week, I have been asking Igbos around me(some of them older than I am) if they have ever physically met an igbo muslim, and none has ever met or seen one physically. They have also heard about them but never met them physically. I am not saying there are no igbo muslims but I think they are just a small number of them. This is not a hate thread or a bigotry thread, but a thread to clarify. My question is where are these Igbo and Ebonyi muslims hiding? Have you ever met an igbo muslim physically before? 4 Likes 1 Share |

shallysgirl: I am from Ebonyi and have never in my lifetime met an igbo Muslim from Ebonyi, this is a statement of fact and not mere assumption. However, i detest the idea of judging people based on their religious inclinations. we have good and bad Muslims and same goes to Christians. My best friends in my work place are mostly Muslims and non-igloos. Love conquers hates in the end! 44 Likes |

I don't see the point of this thread. Since there are mosques in igbo land, just go any of them. There, you'll probably see an igbo muslim. 4 Likes |

I am not judging. I created the thread because of the noise about igbo/ebonyi muslims. It's just for clarification. I know there are also great muslims out there. wilfrik200: 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: About 'Ebonyi /Igbo Muslims ' by staytravel: 12:41pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
ElsonMorali: There are Igbo Muslims like there are Hausa Christians. Most are probably converts or live on the boarder or within Northern/Muslim states. I think there are more people who practice traditional religions than Islam but I'm not sure. If Biafra existed why people should be able to practice what they want to. However, in order to progress together we must value our Igbo identity over any religion. If not, there will be conflict. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Well,with what I know I can say that those saying there are no Muslims in Ebonyi are being economical with the truth. I daresay the Muslims in Afikpo (Ebonyi) are becoming a sizable population. And it is a problem. |
