The decentralized nature of Igbo cultural setup has made it very difficult for islam to penetrate.

In DJ Trump's words "There's an Islam problem in the world". A religion that destroy people's culture and identity is not something to promote far.

Take a Look at the conquered Yoruba people of Kwara State, they are not allowed to identify with their culture, they can't sight the moon for themselves, otherwise, the Sultan of Sokoto will not take it likely with them, their identity is completely altered, they use Emir of Ilorin and not Oba Ilorin. An educated tribe to say the least in 2026.

In my opinion, the Top most priority on the mind of Yoruba people today should be saving their conquered tribes men other than worry about other courageous tribes that has stood firm against such invasion over time.

It's alarming and worrisome.

There is no part of Yoruba land being ruled by Fulanis in the nineteenth century. The person who signed the protection agreement of Ilorin with Britain was Balogun Ajikobi who was an Oyo aristocrat but the British later graded the Emir because there were four Baloguns and one Emir who prior to then was just a prayer leader. The Balogun Ajikobi and Alanamu were later exiled. The Baloguns later responded by giving the Emirship to Gambari a compound comprised of Yorubas of Hausa, Nupe and Bariba descendants and it is still like that today. You just make up history and start spreading it. There is no Yoruba of Fulani ancestry that can be named Gambari in Yoruba land.
The British partitioned Nigeria wrongly and it was not a matter of who conquered who. Jebba had no jihad at all and no Fulani chief and it is North of Ilorin. Borgu is North of Ilorin and they were in alliance with the Alaafin. Ordinarily from Borgu down would have chosen to be grouped with Ibadan but the British did rubbish. Who conquered Okun in Kogi state? Who conquered Jebba, Borgu, Ebira or Igala?

Emir of ilorin is a fulani man! Js ilorrin not a Yoruba land ?

Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari CFR, born April 22, 1940, is the 11th and current Emir of Ilorin, ascending the throne in 1995. As a direct descendant of the Shehu Alimi dynasty, he is a prominent Fulani traditional ruler in Northern Nigeria and chairs the Kwara State Traditional Rulers Council.

Key details about the Emir of Ilorin:
Background: He is a former legal practitioner who served as a Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, before ascending the throne.

Lineage: He is the son of the 9th Emir, Alhaji Muhammad Zulukarnain Gambari (r. 1959-1992), and a direct descendant of Sheikh Alimi.
Reign: He celebrated 30 years on the throne in 2025, with a focus on peace, education, and cultural development.

These are the type of people they might call Igbo Muslim mistakenly! I don't have anything against Muslims, but Islam penchant for trying to make everyone Muslim globally that's why they are having issues everywhere

If a Yoruba is bearing Tapa that is Nupe descent, Gambari is Hausa descent etc but the compound in Ilorin is made up of Hausa Nupe and Bariba. The Fulani compound in Ilorin is made up of Fulani and maybe Malians

In Ilorin they know their king as Oba. Emir is only for newspapers

Let's stop arguing ... GAMBARI isn't a Yoruba name sir

Gambari" as a surname is predominantly associated with a prominent Fulani ruling class family in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, rather than a common Fulani given name. These individuals are part of the Fulani aristocratic lineage, such as the family of Ibrahim Agboola Gambari and the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, which traces its roots back to the 19th-century Fulani conquest.

Ilorin Emirate Identity: The Ilorin Emirate has a unique history, as it was founded by Fulani but is located in a predominantly Yoruba region. Therefore, families like the Sulu-Gambari (including the Emir of Ilorin) represent a blend of Fulani, Hausa, and Yoruba heritage.

Political Usage: The term "Gambari" has been used in Nigerian politics to emphasize the Northern/Fulani background of certain public officials, particularly when discussing the "Hausa-Fulani" influence in national politics.

You see why Islam will not be accepted in Igbo land ...everything about your attitude and character is violence,threat and anger

You see your action has vindicated the writer. This is exactly why Islam is having problem in other parts of the west! It's attitude like this !!!!

Always violence,threat and anger... Is it what they teach in your places of worship ?

You can't even have a decent and civil conversation! You see the difference between your religion and others !

You have proved it! You don't mind killing your fellow African or Nigerian just to satisfy some Arabic God!

Did you see how you sound! I pity the Christians in the NORTH! they are seeing hell ...with this attitude you have demonstrated! I can only imagine their plight

Religious cohesion and tolerance are important in Nigeria because the country is made up of people from different religious backgrounds. Respecting one another’s beliefs helps to promote peace and reduce conflict. It also encourages unity, allowing citizens to work together for national development. When people are tolerant, they see each other as fellow Nigerians rather than as members of different religions. This strengthens stability, fairness, and harmony in the country.

Dear OP ariesbull ,

It is unfortunate that you decided to wake u and create a post filled with lies. You posted your lies knowing fully well that you are lying to the whole world.

Islam in Igbo land is not new and you know it. Igbo Muslims have been existing for generations and you know it. There are Muslims in Igboland but they are a minority just as we have Fulani Christians but they are in the minority. Your kind will gladly accept the Fulani Christians but will adamantly reject Igbo Muslims.

I am a Muslim from the north but my tribe is probably 99% Christian yet my ancestors have been Muslims for many generations. Also, I have never ever met anyone from my tribe that tells me I am not from my tribe. They all accept me as a Muslim from my tribe and we get along perfectly.

I have explained to you. The word Gambari is a Yoruba word for Hausa and that is where the rest of Nigeria got it. The Emir of Ilorin is NOT a member of the Fulani compound in Ilorin but a member of the Gambari compound. His compound head is Balogun Gambari and not Balogun Fulani.
