Yes Igbos have Muslims, they makes up about 0.005% of the entire Igbo population. Yuroba Muslims makes up about 55% of the entire population in the south west.

Which of this group will the North be comfortable with.

IT IS YORUBA NOT YUROBA.

Yoruba Muslims don't make up 55% of the population and you know that! Stop being mischievous and read academic literature!

Yoruba Muslims are far more than Yoruba Christians. I think Muslims are more than 70% in SW. Most important positions in SW be it Obas, NURTW, and the rest are mostly held by Yoruba Muslims.

Igbo Muslim are like gold, Yoruba Muslim are like Bronze at other times like chaff. I used to see the way Mortherners use to rejoice when they see a single Igbo Muslim lol. Personally I no dey see any Yoruba Muslim ooh, they are all Yorubas and would place their religion second in most cases.

You're trying to be mischievous, your divide and rule tactics cannot work, the reason it can't work is because we are too mixed to discriminate against ourselves.

Prove me wrong. Why not put tribe and religion in the census data/questionnaire just like other countries do except Nigeria? Is that not the best way to know these things? Stop denying the fact that Yoruba Muslims are in control of SW.

I like Yorubas die
Like these guys balanced the population of Christians and Muslims in their midsts to almost 50-50


Not sure I've seen a tribe so balanced and tolerant of diverse views up to almost equal level

That's what they want you to believe! I'm a demographer, I have field data from different studies that show that Muslims don't even make 50% of the population of the South West Nigeria.

I've not come across any Igbo Muslim. I think they're very few.

My grandma was a Muslim with her late husband. Igbo Muslims are quite few but still they are there.

This is a big LIE.
As a yoruba man and a Muslim.
We are 50:50...I dont believe Muslims are more.Muslims used to be more but many Muslims have converted through education and the likes

You responded to the wrong post sir. I'm schooling the guy that said we have more Muslims...right now, studies have shown we have a higher percentage of Yoruba Christians, hard as it may be to believe

Who cares. Religion is personal and between you and your God, and not what other feels about you.

Igbos don't like Muslims and are not tolerant of the Islamic religion. Any Muslim in Alaibo is endangered.

Bros, Igbo is Igbo. There's nothing like Igbo Christian or Igbo traditionalists hence no Igbo Muslim.

How do you separate Odinala and Uka? The same people, different lifestyle, beliefs depending on the festival or ceremony.

There is nothing like Igbo Muslim. Your grandparents lifestyle was simply Igbo.

If you concentrate on your life, maybe you would not beg for food like those before you

I know where you are going however in the context at hand, Igbo Muslim exist, Like same way one can say Mary slessor was a Scottish Presbyterian. The religion is being defined not the ethnicity

Northerners don't play with Igbo Muslims. You can test this on Facebook, post 1 Igbo man or woman converts to Islam and post 2 Yoruba man or woman converts to Islam. Igbo post will receive over 1k comments from Northerners in 24hrs while Yoruba post will receive only 100. Northerners value the seriousness, dedication and discipline of Igbo people in whatever they do. In fact Northerners can go to bed knowing Islam will be in good hands with Igbos. For Yoruba, Northerners see them as not dedicated and neither here nor there. Most Northerners cannot understand how Tinubu is a Muslim and his wife is not. It might seem normal to Yoruba, but it's not normal to Northerners and certainly not normal to Igbos. A wife is supposed to follow the religion of her husband.
