Do not argue things that are alien to you, cause they might be regular to others. There are Igbo Moslems of both genders. I have siblings that are Moslems and friends in the North that do not play with prayers. Jumat on Friday, and I see my friends geared up hijabed down to the toes. I am partially igbo too, and I'm supposed to be a Muslim, but I'm what I want to be.

there is 99.9% chances that any igbo you see practicing islam is an osu outcast. they are mostly people rejected by their kinsmen - (who happens to be staunch Christians) so some of them now seek solace in islam.

you will also notice they hardly visit their villages.



@op.

igbos don't do islam bc they value their head so much that they cant hit it on the ground 5 times a day.



it never occur to you that hitting head on the ground even once a day can do a lot of damage to the brain how much more of hitting it 5 times a day! thats enuf to reset your medulla oblangata and remove the human substance in you.

at least you can bear witness to the evil that those who hit head on ground always are capable of committing. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

I think there are few Igbo Muslims, roughly 1000 people (though I'm not very sure).

You can always see them when you do Google search.

Well it's possible that there are some Igbo folks out there, it's just that have never seen or heard that so so person is Igbo and he/she is a Muslim. That's the point am driving at.

That is why you see them with the highest crime rate wherever they go because their is no guardian in their heart.
You can't hit your head on the ground for your creator even once a day because their is pride and arroganc in your heart and blood, Something Jesus that you call your savior and the prophets before and after him did several time and did not have brain damage.
Wait a minute, you can dance Sangolo, Kolomental and all this Latest dance of nowadays by shaking your head over and over without having Brain Damage.
Islam is a religion that as been in existence since THE CREATOR created us and no issue/report was/is been raisedas to Bowing head in Islam is the cause of brain damage.
Go and read Islamic and other religion source, May be you can see for youself why over 1billion people are putting their head on the ground 5times daily for the creator of their soul and never have brain damage.

Islam spread through Africa primarily because of the slave trade. The main slave route in Nigeria was from the South West through Kano, then up to North Africa and the Middle East.

Islam doesn't allow the enslavement of anybody whose religion has a magic book (ie Muslims, Christians and Jews). That meant that people who were being terrorized by slave traders had a strong incentive to convert and to teach their children to recite Muslim stuff to reduce their chances of being kidnapped.

Since Ibo areas were outside the main slave route, they got raided less and therefore didn't have much incentive to convert to Islam.

An Igbo man cannot be a true Mumum slem, if you see any Igbo man claiming to be a mumu slem know that he's there for money sake, an Igbo man cannot do the things of the mumu slem like killing his children, wife and his kins men for renouncing Islam, it's only Hausa cow that do those things( killing his children, wife and his kins men for renouncing Islam), an average igbo man has enough sense to know how dangerous islam is, an igbo man will never kill himself for a demonic gods of Islam etc etc etc etc , if u see any igbo man near them he's there for money

That's because Saudis are automatically labelled as Muslims at birth and the government will literally murder you if you admit that you've changed your religion.

There are religious minorities there, they're just hiding because they don't want to be killed by insecure fanatics.

Truth be told. Igbo see islam as a taboo. The usually term muslims as 'ndi na akpo isi ala', or ' ndi alakubar' or ' ndi boko haram'. U will agre with me on this if u have been in the east.

If u eventually convert to islam, everyone arnund u, even ur parent wil see u as a lost daughter\son and that how u wil be an outcast to the extent that they wil use u and be making jest and topics when u walk ' le onya bu kwa onye boko haram o, ze ndu gi o' (look this guy is a boko haram member o, run for ur life o) and the society wil be using a long spoon when associating with u. Some wil say u are not even igbo. Lol

The reasson why it hard for islam to spread in the east is because the northerners has already painted the religon black by the progons and other attrocities they comitted. They see it that the religon (islam) teaches them(northerner) to kill because they cant see the reason why human lives looks easy for them to take. Pls i am not a tribalist, if u have been in the east, u wil know what am saying.

There is no freedom of religion in Saudi,
Islam is not growing in Japan, Japanese hate islam, they are mostly atheists, some practice Shintoism and Buddhism.
