Igbos can never embrace Islam. OK today is islamic new year how many SE &SS states declared public holiday. Islam does not fit into the Igbo culture & system of govt. That's why indirect rule never worked in Igbo land because Igbo's have been Republican by nature since time immemorial.

By the way this isn't about religion but IBO people must embrace their fellow IBO's and stop these bitter,provocative discrimination cos any attempt aim to attack their fellow IBO's in the name of religion or bitterness means ya' ll will be pepper.

This is new though but I guess ya all will have to get use to the words IBOMuslim grin

STOP SAYING NONSENSE, HOW CAN YOU SAY IGBO MUSLIM POPULATION IS UP TO 2%
DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF %(PERCENTAGE)?

I said they MAY just be about 1-2%. There's a significant population of Muslims in Afikpo area and many parts of Ebonyi. Let's not also forget Imo State.
If there are 40 million Igbos, 1% will be 400,000. It's not a terrible estimate.

Flat heads(aka developers) right now

Hahahah... Since I was born till date, I've never seen three Igbo Muslims, having stayed in the East during my school days.

Secondly, in the whole of Anambra, I've not seen more than two Mosques, 99% Hausa quarters.

Well, the troll here is you. You mentioned just one person who made the statement few hours ago compared to my comment that I said few days ago which I have even forgotten. Apparently, you have been sniffing around looking for such comment so you can mention.

Go ahead and quote Christians that have said similar thing or even worst regarding condemnation curses if you don't follow their path.

I sure know you will respond will more stores rather than do the actual thing you were asked.

Btw, you must be happy I'm responding to your new moniker. Lol, you must also be shocked I know right. grin

Melchizedek3:

No the thing is the moment they accepted Islam willingly, they automatically reject Christianity and the Igbo race. they no longer have any share in Igboland, they are no longer descendants of the promised child but of the cursed and rejected. Let me tell you one amazing thing here you may not seem to know: they rejected their indigenous tribe and religion and went scot free in peace but if a Muslim should reject his/her religion and become a Christian worst of all an Igbo (an Israelite), the Muslims will ensure they go after him and kill him. Now you can tell for yourself which religion is the religion of peace.



How many Muslims have been killed in South West since they switched to Christianity?

They are automatically rejected because they reject Christianity but plenty Muslims in south west have rejected Islam for Christianity and flexing their lives but Christianity is the peaceful one. Lol.

Quit typing bigotry and hateful comments from that cave in Enugu

Alh Abdulazis Chibuzor Udeh is from Enugu state....i think from UDI LGA.....
BTW will the killers in the north spare them during religious crisis A story was told of how a Yoruba Muslim was killed by these Hausa/Fulani Muslim during one of the religious crisis in Kano....they felt he was not a true Muslim... The only respect accorded him was that when they entered his house, he was praying and they allowed him to finish d prayers before slaughtering him in cold blood.
Say NO to religious crisis in Nigeria!!!!!

There's absolutely nothing to celebrate for Muslims like u. We simply don't have igbos among us. That there are 10 Igbo imams doesn't in anyway mean that there's Islam in Igbo land

We don't have a Muslim local gov't in Igbo land.

We don't have a Muslim governor, senator, local gov't chairman Etc that are igbos.

Igbo Muslims are a minority, They represent 0.0034% of our population so they are negligible.

They therefore urged the security apparatuses in the country to grant quick responses to complaints of threats to life received by some members of Ndigbo Muslims.

It read: “We specifically call on the Honourable Minister of Interior, Abdurrahman Dambazau, the Nigerian Army, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris and the State Security Services (SSS) to ensure that Muslims of Igbo extraction are guaranteed security of their lives and properties as any other citizen of Nigeria.
