Empiree: don't worry, it is just crawling up. Give it another 10yrs from now you and you get to see more feasible changes. There are lots of igbo muslims right now but it is still being subdued by media. Just give it a time. Those igbo converts are usually beat up by family and friends and sometimes kidnapped or forced to returned to CHRISTIANITY. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1312335262467652&id=100010735713607
Oga, their number hasn't gone up anything. They convert their relation and family members. No one has time to beat of attack anyone on the basis of his religious inclination in Igboland. Even IPOB under Kanu hasn't said anything about them because they are very very few and inconsequential in the scheme of things in SEast. So there's no need worrying ourselves over Islam because they will never rise in SE region. Sorry if this shocker shocks you the more. Anu mpama
Mikehot: It's not a tribal thing from Igbo though they bring it out
Ondo and Ekiti have a majority of christians
Osun and Oyo have a majority of Muslims
Ogun is a 50/50 blend
Lagos is 50/50
Essentially it's an even balance
Yoruba Muslims are always in the throat of the entire Yoruba race because they need to justify their Islamic loyalty to the fulanis who control Islam in Nigeria
They always need to go extra length, betray their race, sell out to be accepted by the superior Muslims (fulanis)
Non yorubas don't have problem with Yoruba as a tribe, rccg, winners, mountain of fire, deeper life etc are churches owned by yorubas excelling across east and south south more than the south west where Yoruba Muslims are 50%
Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos have little to no issue of sell out because Muslims are not in majority as such fulani hardly Excel here
Osun and Oyo are currently the capital base for fulanis in Yoruba land due to muslim majority and sell out
No be lie, muslims plenty for Oyo. Ibadan alone has more Islamic faithfuls than Christians but one thing about yorubas is that they're not fanatic about it like Northerners. U will see a muslim attending Church in SW and vice versa. Something that a muslim Northerner will never do even at the point of death.
petitejolie: The funny aspect of this is that the yorubas and edos are actually traditionalist to the core. Even the ones u see in church and mosque . It's like part of them.
Yorubas don't get so attached to religion. During my stay in Ibadan, my good neighbour called Mummy Prosper, a Christian with her husband would wear hijab and enter mosque whenever they are having jumaat session. Even our 2020 crossover night at Salvation Ministries, Mokola-Ibadan had small muslim girls in attendance wearing hijab
In a typical Yoruba family, you will see those attending Church with their mom, Mosque with their Dad and those that don't attend any.
I have always admire their tolerance towards religion unlike North and SE sometimes.
naija4life247: The Thunder that will strike this MUMURIC idiot called Ishaq Akintola will not leave a single member of his family. because the gods cannot afford another idiot from the Ishaq Akintola family.
I am a Muslim. I am a Yoruba boy. I am not stupid like Ishaq Akintola.
Will you shut up. Do you think you have a say here. When ur ancestors accepted and embraced Islam, they accepted whatever that would come with it. Let Shariah be established in Yoruba land. It's a welcome development.
Okay yoruba can have sharia but if they try it in my state
Nigerian won't contain us
Are you saying there's no Edo indigenes that are muslims Even my tribe Igbo with 98% Christians still have small number of Muslims in Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi but they know their limit and they know some certain Islamic practice won't be welcomed in Igboland. One Alh Muhd Kabir Orjiegbulam has been trying so hard to propagate Islam through his Facebook page called Islamic family calling but he's not finding it funny among Igbos there. Only Northerners hail him always.
captainamiedi1: The yoruba muslim ideology is different from hausa-fulani muslim ideology. During NYSC in osun, my hausa friend said he doesnt like going to the mosque because the practice and teaches something different. I am sure majority of the Yoruba muslim dont buy most of the practice of hausa-fulani muslim. It's just my opinion
I'm presently in core North(Kebbi State). An average Northern Muslim sees Yoruba Muslims as infidels. That's why that Hausa guy in Osun found it very difficult to go yoruba mosque. Nonetheless, in every mosque having both tribes present, an Hausa Imam will preside over the session and Quran teaching. They lord over yoruba Muslims as their superior. That's what afonjas won't like you to know.
venger: Uk granting asylum to drug dealers, baby factory merchants, scammers, cultist, Ritualist and anything related to bad is a welcome development, I hope they will not claim UK as no mans land since they are developers.
Imagine skull miners, human organ harvesters, rapists, child traffickers and sex hawkers throwing shades on Igbos. Lol. This is a typical case of pot calling kettle black. Shameless afonja hypocrite
IgweOfNnewi: 7 Billion 5% and nyamiri cannot stop the work of GOD, they are too insignificant to stop Buhari despite agitations and throwing tantrums like school children, they can't stop Akanbi, they can only cry and jump like a dog in the cage, let the barking at the moon continue
Slavery no dey tire you. See how you are disgracing ur ancestors for a paltry amount whereas the billion thief you're defending doesn't know you exist. Shame on you.
Nigeriabiafra82: They are gradually pushing the jihad towards the west
The emboldened audacity began ever since Tinubu confirmed Yoruba–Fulani alliance as one Yorulani.
My roommate at Ibadan last year tried following one Yoruba guy up as a Christian, boom before you know it, the guy denounce Christianity, pledge allegiance to Prophet Mohammed instantly. O boy, the scenario shocked me to bone marrow.
I see nothing wrong in Muslims having Shar'iah courts in S'west. After all, greater number of them accepted Islam.
If they born any police, naval or military personnel well, let the person mount road block in any highway in the 5 SE states. It's only Enugu that the trigger happy unknown gun men haven't remembered. The other 4 Igbo states are no go area especially Anambra and Ebonyi.
I keep saying it, Nigeria has to choose between having Igbo Presidency or Biafra in 2023.
Any which way, it's a win-win situation for the good people of SouthEastern region otherwise known as Ndigbo.
God bless the Jesus Christ of Ndigbo, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. God bless IPOB/ESN. God bless UGM.
Mayng01: This is just a tip of an iceberg on what is about to happen before next election. The security architecture in the east has been put in disarray. Biafra actualization loading bit by bit
Too much tension towards 2023. He who laugh last laugh best.
Effect of Yoruba—Fulani alliance called Yorulani. They now operate freely in yorubaland as though they're indigenes of the state. Well, it's a welcome development!!!
