Igbo Muslims under the aegis of South Eastern Muslims Organisation of Nigeria (SEMON), say they have not gained anything from the government since the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorate in 1914.

The group, in a communiqué issued at the end of a conference held on Sunday, accused the federal government of marginalisation.

The group said Igbo Muslims are always disqualified from contesting elections.

According to the group, the greatest challenge of Igbo Muslims is their alleged “total exclusion from the political scheme in Nigeria.”

The group said no Igbo Muslim has been given any political appointment at any government level.

It, therefore called on its members to actively participate in politics by vying for elective positions and voting during elections.

“Igbo Muslims have been law-abiding and peaceful citizens of Nigeria. We have sustained the fear of God and patriotism, as well as our trust and loyalty in the Federal Government of Nigeria,” the communiqué read.

“But we are never known by the leaderships of Nigeria and our states when it comes to appointments. We want the federal government of Nigeria and the governments of our south-east states to adequately note this high level of political exclusion of Igbo Muslims in Nigeria

“However, we appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts in developing Nigeria. We want him to remain focused in the fight against corruption and to be detribalised in his appointments even while putting merit above other considerations.

“We pray for him and we promise to always support good leadership for Nigeria. On the same note, we call on the Southeast governors and local government chairmen to protect us and our worship places and to carry us along in the socio-political and economic arrangements for citizens without discrimination against us.

“We pray for the peace and unity of Nigeria and plead with politicians to play by the rules as the 2019 general elections approach. And despite the unfavourable political climate for us in our hometowns and states, we wish Igbo Muslim politicians the best in future general elections

Ibo mozleems? As rare as Albino Rhinos Never seen one in my life.

Someone told me the underdeveloped nature of yorubaland is because the mozleems became more populous and sat and chopped while the rest worked.

Igboland is not a Muslim Land since 1914

why is it that is only yoruba muslims can be oba in yoruba land?

Those are the 'Led Astray' species meant for extinction in the future Biafraland..! Tiny malignant tumour...!

It's already happening in Edo North...!

No time breeding future terrorists.....!!

Igbo Muslims have been disenfranchised.

A solution must be sought.

They always cry of marginalization - but they're more abrasive to people outside their religious or tribal circle.


Na dem de marginalize pass.

They come to your place to ask for everything, but won't give you one in their region.

No wonder that hunchback was able to manipulate them.

So now we have Igbo Muslims


That's hilarious �

The jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs want Muslim -Christian ticket in north,
But they don't want Muslim -Christian ticket in Bia-fra land.
Their hypocrisy is annoying sane mind.

Case close.

I have never seen one in my life before, if they really exist, no room for terrorists in Igbo land. We dash them to Yoruba moslems

It's the duty of me and you to always advise people to act in a civil manner. You too can talk to those you believe make hate speech, tell them in kind and gentle words that it doesn't pay in any way to be hateful. Don't join them in throwing hateful banter. Little by little, we'll make progress in blotting out hate from our society

SE must act to uphold and practice diversity in Iboland. There are Igbo muslims in Iboland and they are neglected. They are not even represented anywhere in Igboland. This must change.

I really can't fathom why ibos detest their Muslim brothers for crying out loud blood is thicker than water.

IBO Muslim must fight for their right and place in alaigbo

Their culture is intolerant of diversity. But since they want others to practice diversity in Osun, in Kaduna, in Minna, in Bauchi....why can it not also include Enugu, Onitsha?

What Ibos are demanding of others must happen also in their home region.

Ibo muslims?
What's that?
You mean those people who followed hausa people back after the war, because of hunger?
Well, 90% them returned quickly after their boss retired, died, or lost out in power struggle.
I know some of them who practice islam only when they about to meet an hausa politician!
