*yawn* Typical, as usual. Looks like someone doesnt know the difference between my "thread" and my "forum." You're becoming quite predictable, dear child.
Anyway isnt it against the rules of the board to move from the topic of the thread? Why dont you ask Seun about that?

an except from an interesting write up on Igbo Muslims.
Another Islamic educational institution in AlaIgbo is the Al-Haudaa Muslim School. 87 Established in 1990 by Igbo Moslems in Enugu, and approved by the former Anambra State Government, it has a student population of about 150 students, who range in age from 3 to 12 years. Like al Nazral, Al Hudaa awards scholarships to all its students, from kindergarten to elementary. An important difference between the two, however, is the religious affiliation of the faculty. About 90% of the teachers at the Islamic School in Enugu are Christian. And while they are normally allowed to practice their faith, these Christian teachers are daily confronted by an unusual but traditional tool of Moslem proselytism: They are paid a higher salary than public school teachers in an overt and non subtle attempt to entice them to the Islamic religion. 88 The school authorities were, understandably, unwilling to give the source of the school’s financial support; One of them could only acknowledge that it is funded by the “Moslem authorities.” The Chief Imam of Al Hudaa is Igbo; He was also on pilgrimage to Mecca during this research. His deputy is Yoruba. One of the Igbo Imams, Alhaji Okoro, 89 became a Moslem 20 years ago.
Two of the most prominent Igbo Moslems are Alhaji Abdulaziz Ude and Alhaji Yahaya Ndu. Ndu, the Presidential candidate of the African Renaissance Party (ARP), is from Ezeagu LGA in Enugu State. Another, Alhaji Isah Okonkwo, 90 is not well- known. An indigene of Akpugo in Nkanu LGA, Enugu State, he was lured into Islam as a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He rose quickly, becoming the president of the Moslem Corpers Association in Kaduna State and the Moslem Corpers Association of Nigeria. Okonkwo was made the Chief Imam, University of Ibadan in the 1980’s. And there is Muhammed Okorie from Awgwu in Enugu State, who also became President of the Moslem Corpers Association of Nigeria. Sheik Adamu Abdullahi Idoko, from Nsukka, is the Chief Imam of the mosque at UNN. He was also on pilgrimage to Mecca during this research. Nsukka is the key base of Islamic expansionism in Igboland. 91 Alhaji Dauda Onyeagocha is the Chief Imam of the controversial Owerri main mosque, which is situated near the Government House. The resident Imam is Aminu Igwegbe; both are from Imo State. It is said that Senator Arthur Nzeribe is one benefactors of state’s Islamic community. He is alleged to have donated about N5 million toward the construction of the controversial mosque. 92
Another Igbo Muslim, Alhaji Obi Ike, 93 embraced the Islamic religion in order to “play them 419.” A former practicing Catholic, he became a Moslem and went on pilgrimage to Mecca in 1977, because he wanted to use his new religion to break into the Nigerian power structure, which is historically dominated by Moslems. Married to a woman from the Caliphate, he gained prominence in the Shagari administration, especially during the Sharia debate in the 1980’s. His marriage opened doors for him: He was awarded several contracts, which furnished him with resources to build and own hotels across the country. 94

Lol, now gbade's the one bothering him. U start sh*t, and when the heat gets on you, u get all so defensive.
If u didn't want the derailing of this thread, there are better ways of doing it.

I said dont bother me with your woes of "generalization" when I never did generalize. Unless you are guilty of being in the category of the kind of Christians I described in my other comments, I dont see why you are whining in this thread.
None of your comments so far had anything to do with the topic at hand so if anything you are the one who started any "shit" here.

Rofl. I guess Im not because the "baby" says so. lmao what a silly "baby".
and your "except" doesnt say anything about Ibos being raised as muslims, it's goes on about Ibos that converted to Islam for various other reasons mainly monetary. That is not what I asked.
I think I'll just conclude that they are raised Christian or native until I get proof that some are actually raised as muslims. Then again there should be some if indeed an Ibo woman were to marry a Muslim man and the child is raised as Muslim. Hm,

Ok. I thought you wanted to know of the existence of Igbo Muslims. They have Muslim schools in Afikpo area so I guess they have kids raised as Muslims but in all my growing up in Igboland,I'd never seen one Muslim Igbo child . They must be a very minute number. we can now stop fighting |

@Wesleyana,
There are several Hausa Christians in the North. Some were born to Christian parents, others converted to Christianity from Islam. Several Hausa Christians can be found in Zaria within Kaduna State, as well as in sevaral Northern states like Taraba & co.
A former Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria the late Professor Ishaya Audu who later became a Minister of Foreign Affairs, was a staunch Hausa Christian. There are several other Hausa Christians, like him.

Um, er, I do believe Babyosisi in post No. 66: Yesterday at 02:58:16 AM on this thread, made some allusions to the existence of some Igbo Muslims. I believe she listed the following names: Alhaji Okoro, 89 The Chief Imam of Al Hudaa Muslim School;
Alhaji Abdulaziz Ude and Alhaji Yahaya Ndu as well as Alhaji Obi Ike. Or don't they count??

Noooo, because I want Ibos that were born in a Muslim household, raised with Islam, not the ones who decided to convert for location/monetary reasons. We've provided you with names of igbo muslims and someone explained how and possibly why they converted to islam. What else do you want? I believe those guys have children and they will likely adopt islamic teachings. You have to wait for another decade or two to confirm. BTW where are you going with this? Are you recruiting for jihad? Trust me, no igbo man will blow himself up for allah. We like our body way too much to waste it on a stupid hope for jannat. it's just how i'm feeling. all mixed up, fried and flat. lmao Do you want ketchup with that?? |

I've heard of some of them but most of them do it so they can get contracts from the mallams in power. No harm meant but that's what I observe.

I figured as much, Donzman
and I already explained "what I wanted" Ynot. It's a mere question that I felt like asking. I already concluded that they were either on a secret island or that if an Ibo woman were to marry a Muslim(never seen this either), the children will be most likely raised by Islam.
This thread was thankfully cleaned by the mods because of the self righteous road it was taking, can we not have that happen again?

# All the Igbos, especially babyosisi: I know a prominent Igbo, who willingly convert in Igboland and he is a leading delegate in Islamic matters when there is a need to represent Nigeria. His name is Alhaji Isa Okeke na dall his household, University age and older children are all Muslim men and women. I am also married to a niece of the soon to be coronated Owerri royalty. Some Igbo men are very matriculated Islamic with higher degrees; BS, MS and some are now in the Doctorate programs. There is effort now underway to have Qur'an translated to igbo language. By the way, there is still a room for Pretty Igbo woman in my life.But she has to be young and can make my heart a beat. I do not like boring women.

@Havila and Babyosisi: Do not forget that I am a Muslim and also an african. I live well. I exercise and very young looking and active for my age. Babyosisi, you are missing out of the excitement and possibilities. But first, you have to convert, seriously believe from your heart.
Then maybe if you are good, I will build you a good size hospital for you in your village. See, I did not say clinic, so it has to be a good size facility with all the modern equipments that you and your staffs need to service the people. You must be expensive, but i can foot the bill.

If there are no real Ibo Muslims, then there are no real Ibo christians. Since christianity is a foreign religion to the Ibos who are africans, then the ibos have been playing the Catholics and protestants from the time the first person in igbo tribe converted from their african religion to what you call christianity.
