Demmzy15: Yes. If I can name them English names why not Arabic names? The contribution to modern civilisation by Arabs cannot be quantified especially in the field of mathematics. It's Islam that came and diminished that glory. If not for Islam, Arabic would have been the central language of science and business just as English is today. I still stand by my words that Arabic is older and greater than Islam! 3 Likes |

No single Igbo muslim in this whole wide world. Let that Igbo muslim attend his/her tawnhall meeting & declear his islamic faith, then we will know that there are muslim of Igbo extraction, but until then, it remains a bogus, ficticious & unsubtantied claim. Them never born that Igbo man/woman that will join islam,,,,,,,,,,,, 1 Like |

oglalasioux: That's nice of you! The contribution to modern civilisation by Arabs cannot be quantified especially in the field of mathematics. It's Islam that came and diminished that glory. The Arabs were nothing before Islam, it was Islam that uplifted them. It was because of Islam they discovered a lot in mathematics, science, economics. If not for Islam, Arabic would have been the central language of science and business just as English is today. I still stand by my words that Arabic is older and greater than Islam! I thought you were intelligent, Islam came and uplifted the Arabs not the other way round. It might interest you to know that not only Arabs excelled in science and other fields but Persians, Turks, Kurds, Berbers and even blacks who were Muslims. 2 Likes |

Demmzy15: Do some research before you term me unintelligent. I don't expect you to admit you are wrong but for your own good. Islam was what decimated science in the Arab world. Don't worry, I'll send you some links. |

Rubbish! I have never heard or seen Igbos discriminate against anyone even based on religion. Practice your religion but don't use is to disturb anyone. Don't bring religion into public and social life, that's my own. Eg sending people on pilgrimage, for what. Christians generally don't bother anyone that is why people think they are docile.

Have you ever seen an igbo muslim? At least I am sure you have seen muslims from Ekiti,Ondo,Taraba,Benue and Plateau.these are predominantly Christian states. Now,back to the question,have you seen or met an igbo muslim physically? jaymichael: |
Re: About 'Ebonyi /Igbo Muslims ' by shallysgirl: 7:50pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
If I have to go to the commission or a mosque before I see an igbo muslim, it means their number is very slight. jaymichael: |
Re: About 'Ebonyi /Igbo Muslims ' by shallysgirl: 8:03pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
Yes, maybe 1% or less as you pointed out. The reason I created this thread is because of some comments like 'go and meet/talk to your ebonyi/igbo muslim brethren' in some other thread.i began to wonder cause I virtually have never met or seen an igbo muslim before so I began to wonder where those who made such comments got them from. That's how propaganda starts. I even went as far as asking Igbos around me if they had ever seen or met an igbo muslim before and none has ever encountered an igbo muslim before. EazyMoh: 1 Like |

Please,this thread has nothing to do with Biafra. It is just a thread to counter the propaganda of Igbo/ebonyi muslims being spread about by some persons. Igbos are liberal. Everyman is permitted to serve what ever God they believe in. Igbos don't discriminate based on religion or other grounds. As far as you worship your God in your space, nobody would bother you. Igbos are are lovers of mankind, no matter the race, tribe or religion, that's why you see them every where and they usually have no issues settling down anywhere. Wherever they find themselves is home to them. Please leave Biafra out of your comments. Thanks. |

shallysgirl: I have seen an Igbo Muslim before, though he's not even from the Afikpo that everybody is saying. But he's from Ebonyi state. I won't really say that the man is a Muslim per se, because, today he is a Muslim, and the next day he claims Jehovah's witness. He even once gave his uncompleted building to members of Jehovah's witness to use as a temporary meeting point when the latter haven't completed their meeting hall. This man has completed that his village house now and there is a mini mosque in front, meaning that he has returned to Islam. Did I mention that he gave all his children Islamic names? Plus, people only see him as an opportunistic Muslim and nothing more. Not to forget that when we were growing up, we found it weird to see an Igbo being Muslim even as children that we were. We made fun with his children's name in primary school then. You can easily trace the man if I drop his name here. He's Prof. Obini Ekpe. A professor of physics in Ebonyi state university. 1 Like |

@topic I think it's angreed fact that there are probably more Igbo muslims in Ebonyi than anywhere else in the south east. However, nobody seems to be paying attention to the fact that there's also a sizeable Igbo muslim population in the Igbo speaking part of Delta state particularly around Ibuzor. 2 Likes |

shallysgirl:Lol No you are just irked by the prospects of having Muslims among your tribe. I understand a brainwashed and narrow minded ethnocentric person finds it heart to believe such. If not why would it bother you this much? The fact that you agreed there even if they are only one person makes the joke "..go tell your Ebonyi Muslim brethren.." valid. I know you wish there is no single Igbo Muslim, fortunately there is and I don't see anything wrong with it. Actually it will do good for your civilization, the diversity will give your region the appeal it lacks to attract outsiders. Finally you shall grow thick-skin towards these online insults and propaganda they mean nothing. 6 Likes |

shallysgirl:that you haven't met a true Hausa Muslim doesn't mean there ain't. I know an Ibo guy who was born and brought up in the east, he's Abdulsamad by name. A staunch Muslim. The chairman hajji commission in umuahia , he's ibo and Muslim. Go to akpanaya, eteh, nsukka, afikpo, there are Muslim ibo |

Afam4eva:You sure want me to drop the name of my village here. I'm friends with him on Facebook, and yes, his profile reads that he's from Afikpo. Same way my own profile reads that I'm from Abakaliki, which is not true. For some reasons, Facebook identifies my community as some community in Rivers state. So, what most people do is to choose the nearest community when filling their Facebook profile. The same thing that the man did. 1 Like |

A pained religious bigot is what you are.. There are muslim igbos and you'll find them in Ebonyi, Imo and others in large numbers. We have over 10 million Igbos up North shouting Allah Akbhar every now and then. So what's your point? 2 Likes |

I have met 2 ibo muslims in kogi. Now lets use this logic, if there are ibo muslims in the north there must be in the south. I don't know why ibos are afraid of islam, Yorubas were originally muslims/traditionalist and yet we did not kill the christians. This is what we call love. NB: i am neither a christian or muslim. |
