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?

That you haven't met a large number of Igbo Moslems doesn't mean there isn't a large number of Igbo Moslems.

My brother, worry not. there are a hand full of muslims in Ebonyi state,
precisely in uwanna Afikpo where a big islamic school is situated

Economic Muslims

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!

You probably have not been to Afikpo in Ebonyi State. 3 out of every 10 are a muslim!

Have you ever been to Afikpo? Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone?

Lies from pit of hell.

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.

Igbo culture and Islam are not compatible. We are NOT Muslims

Who needs to join a group that reverence an idiot that slept with a six year old

bloody liar!

Which part of Afikpo are you from?

There a big anw-salu-deen school in Uwana Afikpo!

The islamophobic igbo want to masturbate as usual

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.

Yes, I have met Igbo Moslems alright, Besides, what are you gon do If there are Igbo Moslems in your Biafra? Kill them?

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.

Dont worry, you are about to meet one when me and Amarabae tie the knot.

Nnwanyi, where are you o?

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.

Afikpo chick was learning to be muslim when she lived in Kaduna. She probably still is but hiding it cause of politics.

The growth of the Muslim population.

So you want to live everywhere in Nigeria without restriction but you want exclusion of certain people from your area, abi?

Small time now you will begin cry of marginalization, that you are excluded from certain things. No be so?

Abokii and Afonja can smash their heads to pieces on the ground if they want. The growth of Islam among Igbo brethren is the bone of contention here.
