so Imo would soon become the Muslim majority state in the Igbo South-East?

not bad at all.in the predominantly muslim north,you still find majority christian states.so a little igbo tolerance in sharing between christianity,islam and traditional religion would do good.the igbos would cease to be victimized collectively by either of the two sides.

fkaz:
Thus it mean Igbo people known about Islam before Christianity?

Do not mind the confused man; he has right to convert/transform to anything he chooses, but not to talk trash about his forefathers. Before the coming of these foreign religions and cults, the Igbos were dominantly African religion/pagans, this fellow talking nonsense here might be over intoxicated by his new believe. I wonder why these irrelevant and less important matters make it to the front page of this forum.

There are a lot of converts to many religions and cults every day, even many are leaving all these western/arab political machineries every day, because of the truth they are finding out in them, why you don’t post them in your front page? He can convert all his community into anything he likes that is no body’s business. Islam and Christianity are all foreign introduced believes to Igbo tribe. This man’s head should be thoroughly examined.

fkaz: Vice Chairman of the Council of Village Heads in Imo State, Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, has said he accepted Islam due to the truthful nature of the religion and the steadfastness of Muslims.
Speaking when he visited Media Trust Office yesterday in Abuja, the traditional ruler whose name is now Musa Dimunah, said he was particularly influenced by the good nature of the former secretary of the council and the executive secretary of Justice Mamman Nasir Islamic Centre for Peace and Research, Malam Ibrahim BioboNlomije.



“I did not accept Islam, I only revert to the religion that our forefathers practice and the universal religion of humanity. I’m impressed by the good nature of Muslims’ love for everybody and hatred for none apart from the way they revere Allah and all the Prophets without discrimination.

“I am also impressed by the brotherhood and mutual respect for each other and other members of the community,” he said.

He also said he was not under any pressure to drop his old name for becoming a Muslim and that his children and other family members did not oppose his being a Muslim.

ignis: This is not news. Do you know how many people in the
North who convert to Christianity everyday? Do you
know how many Muslims and Christians who convert to
Hindu in Europe everyday? A lot of people convert to
whatever they like everyday. We encourage it. It would
have been news if the Igbos kill him or attack him
because he converted to Islam. In fact we should give
the Igbos credit for tolarance. If a Muslim Chief convert
to Christianity in Hausa/Fulani land, just imagine what
will happen?

He is the owner of his life so he can convert to anything he likes..... Such is the beauty of a secular state, there is freedom of worship and that's what the ibos have shown by not fighting the chief over his new found faith.... The question now is, if one village head in zamfara or kebbi decides to convert from Islam to Christianity will the muslems let him be?

Kamsy10: RUBBISHH. THIS IS WHAT WE GET BY HAVING CONFUSED PEOPLE AS OUR LEADERS. SMH
my brother it is we muslims that are not following Islam in way that it suppose to be followed. If only we muslims on nairaland will convey Islam in a right manner then without a shadow of doubt every single christian on nairaland will convert to Islam by the will of our maker because Allah said in the glorious Qur'an "closest to the believers are christians. The problem is that you people are judging Islam by the muslim not by the Qur'an. Judge Islam according to what is revealed in the Qur'an. Let me advice you brother, take your time read the Qur'an in a language that you understand I guarantee u it will change your life.

Afam4eva: Is Musa a Muslim or Hausa name?

Musa is a muslim name, equivalent of Moses in xtianity. Bt d northern xtains take it to be hausa name, so dey named their children Musa instead of Moses. Likewise Yakubu = Jacob
Suleiman = Solomon
Nuhu = Noah
Ibrahim = Abraham
Maryam = Mary
Hauwa = Eve
Saratu = Sara e.t.c

bt there are names which are hausa in nature inwhich both d northern muslims and xtains bears like Sani, Danlami, Galadima, Aboki, Abba, Danfulani, Hassana, Hassan, Garba, etc

This confused man does not know what he has done to himself.

He has converted to Islam peacefully.
Let him convert from Islam to another religion: then the merciful messengers of Allah will declare a powerful fatwah on his head.

This is so unfortunate.
