Abi.

Muslim.

Lol, no wonder northern moslems regard yoruba moslems as confused infidels that are neither here nor there.

They are Sango Muslims who mix voodoo with Islamic mystiscm.

I'm not sure they know which is which. They are just Muslims in name only...neither there nor here, and will never sacrifice themselves for the religion like Arabs and northerners do. I don't blame Arabs and Northerners for not seeing them as real Muslims.

Your question is filled with overwhelming ignorance. Nigerian's Muslims population is largely Mainstream Islam. Shias are a minority around 1 to 3% who you would find in various ethnicities.

They are our muslim brothers, we regard them as muslims, so keep off.

Abeg! Who sabi Igbo history? I don check google tire. I really need to know my history beyond 1940, abi na Yoruba people civilised us?

Do Igbo chrisians practice Catholicism or Pentecostalism?

This thread don't expose the religion behind many monikers. Because I wonder how a soul supports this PMB govt with all the summersaults and problems they are sharing... Now I know the reason for the strange blind support even against Aisha... Religion!

They belong to Sunni's kitchen, bedroom and other rooms.

Afonja muslims

Most identify with Sunni Islam, as per master-slave things. .
However, there's a sizeable portion that are Ahmadiyya, another small branch in Islam.
Sunni hate both Shia and Ahmadiyya,although this hate isn't shown openly by yorubas, unlike the northern people.

Hope this helped. Mind you, I'm YORUBA

Nasfat is not a type of Muslim. NASFAT is an organization. And it is Sunni. The IMN in the north is Shia organization. Many mistake the religion/sect/branch for the local organization. The IMN, Nasfat, ansarud deen, Izala are all organizations or groups belonging to an ideology or religion. Shia and Sunni are worldwide ideologies or two main branches of Islam. Just like redeem and Pentecostal, caritas and Catholics etc. IMN is only found in Nigeria. It's a local Shia group.

As for Yorubas, they are mostly Sunnis in practice with a sizeable Shia population. But majority hardly relate to these differences because they were sect blind. When Islam arrived Nigeria, it was the Sunni brand. With the happenings around the world especially the Middle East, it was of recent Nigerian Muslims got exposed to the ideas that there is another option in Islam. That the Islam they have been following and which was passed down to them (Sunni Islam) is only a version. It is one version. And there is another option or alternative which is Shia Islam. That is he rivalry between the two groups because if you follow one, you abandon the other and with no third choice in between. Even Ahmadiyyah is a sub sect of Sunni Islam. Even though excommunicated and most Sunnis see them as heretics.

There is nothing as mainstream Islam.

Sunni Islam was what your masters from the Middle East presented to you as "islam" not knowing it was only one side of the story presented to you. The Shia in the Middle East by that time were oppressed by the Sunni caliphate and had little contact with the wider world. So they couldn't have exported their own brand to you until recent when information became cheap thanks to the Internet and other means of communication.

Yorubas are Islamists. Yorubas worship Olodumare by the Order of Anobi Isa. Yorubas don't worship the ways of Iran, Iraq, and Saudis. Yorubas are neither Shiites nor Sunnis.
