islam is one of the dominant religion in nigeria,over 80 percent of the hausa/fulani embraces islam,in sw,which is the home of the yorubas over 50 percent of the population embraces islam,in se and ss,muslims is not up 10 percent of the population considering that it's one the major population in nigeria.why is it this way?opinions are welcomed.

Because people Blindly follow any Religion or are Forced into it.

OP What do you think

Because they saw the light and they can recognise it. Not until hypocrites took of the christian dom. There fore fathers dropped idle gods for Christianity so they had to keep it going.

first of all Muslims in the sw are not up 30percent
and I don't think the southeast ever traded with muslims before amalgation
even Christianity was enforced on southerners because of the contact they had with Christian missionaries

Sorry Sir, did u say 10%? Where did you get that percentage from?


Muslims in the SS/SE are less than 1% and almost non -existant, with the exception of Northerners and South Westerners that live in the SS/SE.

You are probably a history student. You are also a sort of activist. I am just a realist. I believe that this world must have a designer. My experience in life alone has taught me that organised things don't just happen. Not possible. There is always the organizer. Things become chaotic if there is no organizer. What I want to know is was Islam handed over to Tinubu and co peacefully?

Here we go again wetin Aba made statistics
Where you see 50% Mulisms in Yorubaland
Ondo state = 10% Mulisms
Oyo maybe 40% and dats the highest in Yorubaland

chaos is a sort of organisation
tinubus parent's were Muslim probably the same way your parents are Christians
the world leading religions except Hinduism and Buddhism covered their early followers through violence

Not Christianity. Christianity is against violence.

why is Christianity not a dominant religion in NE and NW? Answer that, then I can answer yours.

LMAO
Christianity peaceful?
have read of the inquisition,slavery,burning people,drowning, imprisonment just to flush out so called heretics
Whatever Islam is doing now they learnt from their big brother

There was little or no contact between the SS/SE area and the Muslim North before the British came. Although the Muslim North did try to wage a jihad on the South so as to forcibly convert them to Islam, they never managed to make it past Lokoja and parts of present day Edo state due to several factors such as weather,topography, inaccessible roads and thick forests. Had they made it through, their would have been a bloodbath since Igbos who were to egalitarian to have accepted foreign control and would have fought them fiercely. Also, before the amalgamation of 1914, Lord Lugard who was then Governor of the North and South protectorates severely restricted movement between the North and South to avoid sectarian violence between the two. Lugard always knew we were incompatible but cared more about British interests than he did about the people. I laugh at people who chant 'one Nigeria', they don't know Nigerian history. All these reasons we're why Islam never made any headway in the SS/SE area

Have u asked urself why Christians didn't forcefully convert all of Nigeria to Christianity. I mean they had the military strength. They had the cooperation. Why didn't they? Reason. They go about it peacefully. They don't need to terrorize u to convince u.
The Northerners couldn't have stood a chance against the Great Britain if it was by force. My brother, Christianity solved their internal problems because of the original message by Jesus Christ. Peace.

What percentage of Igbos living in Igboland practice Islam? It is easier for an Igbo to be an Atheist than convert to Islam because as an Igbo, Islam makes no sense to me just as Christianity may make no sense to a Fulani/Hausa Muslim.

your contribution can teach others

British didn't forcefully convert northerners to Christianity because the sultan and emirs are doing just fine in controlling their people while Britons controlled the emirs and the money to forcefully convert northerners during war the British company in charge of Nigeria couldn't find it, it will be a total loss because of debt
while they forcefully and stylishly did in the south was because the societies are almost democratic and egalitarian

Passingshot alias dropshot and joborskill alias irunobo alias searchiingforlove will not agree with you. To yoruba muslim 70% of yorubas are muslim. When farouk spoke with kunle he mentioned it and kunle never denied or corrected him. Was kunle being sheepish in that conversation?

10% muslim population in the SS/SE? I have never seen any indigeneous SS/SE muslim in my life and I have lived in these two regions for over 2 decades!! If at all they exist they would be less than 0.1% of the population of these regions.

Never hard to spot a fool on NL nowadays. I've spotted one saying Christianity is same as Islam in violence. They can never condemn evil. The Devil's own children,they are!

Bros calm down. Relax. Retrace ur steps, let me tell u something. U have just said it all. They came for profit. Who ever they converted in the process was willingly. If they came for religion, the north wouldn't have withstood them. They would all have converted or died. Have u ever seen Muslims when they conquer a nation? Woe be tide u if u don't convert. Or u want to spread corruption among the society.

OK can you tell me how Christianity got to almost all region in the world(Nigeria inclusive)
At the beginning of the colonial era less than 5% where Christian, after colonialism less than 50% of Africa was Christian.

SE/SS would have resisted Islamization by all means, because which SE/SS girl/woman will allow herself to be covered like a masquerade in the name of religion, that one go cause major women riot for the entire region be that, even the women fought British colonization government to a stand still in Aba
