HammerTheirPapa:
My Igbo friend told me that Igbo culture and Islam are immiscible, they can never mix.

Really? Why do some Ibos keep beard? Why are many Ibos polygamous?

Igbo are peaceful live and lets live people, but Islam wants to force you to do things it's own way, that's why we yorubas call the religion "Imale" which means "hold or forcing people on the ground".

Old Yoruba called Islam "esin imale" because Islam came into Yorubaland through the Malians in which Yorubas call Imale. Stop the lies!

Islam allows suicide but in Igbo culture a suicidal corpse is an Abomination to even touch.

Islam is the only religion that out rightly prohibits suicide, if you are a Christian, can you honestly show me a verse from the bible that prohibits suicide!

Igbos must never bend to Islam, they are foundation and the backbone of christianity and if they fall to that evil religion then nigeria will become a truely islamic country and Igbo must never let that happen.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Islam is taking a great hold in Ibo land and the south as a whole. Many are converting, in fact you'll be surprised that their population are well over 1 million. I've met some Ibo Muslims who were born into Islam, especially from Imo Enugu and Ebonyi. I've met many Niger Delta Muslims, a sister from my school is from calabar and a good Muslim. grin tongue

the community that allowed their land to be used to build mosques must be sanctioned!

Please go and sanction them!

Say "No to Islam" in the south, you Igbo were never conquered by the fulanis like our people in kwara and must stay religiously conservative if you must survive the fulani incursion.

Kwara was never conquered, Islam doesn't need to conquer you to take hold. Look at Indonesia, Malaysia and many South Asian countries, do you think any Muslim army conquer them? A big no!!!! There are more Muslims there than Nigeria!

If they entice you with money to convert to Islam, take their money, it's your oil money, go elsewhere in Igboland and remain christian while chopping your money.

It's Christians that use money for conversion na. A man approached and began preaching and telling me how I'm going to succeed in life, be wealthy beyond expectations and that all I need was to come for their Sunday programme. That's Christianity for you, bunch of fake promises!

Op, you are a liar. the Muslims in Enohia afikpo is about 0.06% of Afikpo. Just a little Muslim umar. If you go to IBAGWA in NSUKKA L.G.A, you will see a huge and great number of Muslims who are even bigger than the Ibagwa people. These Muslims build houses and control there. please get your facts right and don't waste our Mb again.
I'm just seeing statistics all around, how did you come about 0.06%?

[Hop author=teufelein post=43917723]op, absolutely correct, ebonyi state is lost to fulani or rather to muslim world, nothing igboness therein anymore. if care is not taken imo state will soon go the way of ebonyi state after all okoroawusa is the governor. enugu state is also going...[/quote]Who is this efulefu?
How can you bundle the whole Ebonyi into that your Islamic nonsense.
As an Ebonyi man I stand a better chance to tell you how things are in my state, let me tell you that I have never seen an Igbo Muslim(s) before either here in Ebonyi state or in any other eastern state, because such a person will be regarded as an outcast. If fact you you removed ur self from everything from ur Umunna (extended family) to the rest of the community and Igbo land at large.
Who are you to bring alacuba to the fold and want people to welcome you, one tried that nonsense but the day he died nobody goes for his burial. Some part of Afikpo is a bad spot to Ebonyi state and ala Igbo in general but with the recent Islamic onslaught to the entire universe most of them are coming back to their senses but still I have never met anyone from there who claim to be Muslim.

Op, stop lying. There is an Islamic school school true, but it does not affect the christian population that much.


The only thing that is affecting us here in Afikpo is absence of light.


I don't seem to get it when there is light from Abakelike to Abaomege, and Uburu in ohaozara to Amenu, sometimes Amasiri, yet there won't be light at Afikpo, we see light once in a month. I'm about to create this as a topic to find out why.

So, if you wants to speak on anything affecting Afikpo, start with light I'll listen to
You.
Guy if you are from Ebonyi state and can't 'spell' Abakaliki very well then you and your lot deserves what is happening to you.

Actually, abakiliki is an anglicized spelling of the actual word itself, abankelenke. If he decides to spell it as abakelike, that's probably how it is natively pronounced.

Im surprised too. I grew up in the east and till today I am yet to personally meet an Igbo muslim. I've seen a couple of mosques in the east but to the best of my knowledge only the hausa muslims attend those mosques. Even in UNN where I schooled we have a mosque, just close to the back gate, which is opposite Zik's flats and it is mostly hausa muslims that even go there. This whole idea of 'rising Igbo muslims' and '80% Afikpo muslims' is only but delusion to the highest order.

I am not religious to begin with but I can say that Christianity is closer to Igbo traditional religion than Islam is, being an Abrahamic religion and given the many similarities between Igbo TR and Hebraic tradition and customs or Judaism upon which Christianity was built. It is one of the reasons Christianity found a strong ground in Igboland and will remain so. I am not even religious to start with but if Igboland should have a religion, it should be Christianity and not Islam.

My 2 cents.

I am from Afikpo, i don't know how you got your figures. That's a big lie, but there are conversions. However the situation is a serious challenge that if not tackled things may get out of hand.

If Ebonyi state choose to join islam then other igbo state will have no option than to forget about them.

*. The live style and sudden change in character of Ebonyi state has made the igbos to distance them selves from them.
* when asaba join non delta igbos to castigate the igbos this led the educated and well informed igbos to 4get about them.

*** note : what led to the biafra war was not coused by the igbos but by the DELTA IGBO (they said they are not igbo) led by CHUKWUMA NZEOGWU (from asaba).

*Follow igbos should we continue to suffer for a crime we did not commits . Our fathers were deceived by the delta igbos who made them go to war with them but when the war at it peak the people that caused the war (ASABA <chukwuma nzeogwu>..) turned SABO (BETRAYERS) against those that supported their stupid MASSACARE OF PROMINANT NIGERIAN LEADERS.

If Aguiyi Ironsi had known that the evil plotter and his tribe he was trying to protect will turn against his own tribe he will have eliminated Chukwuma Nzeogwu to prove to the North and West that he has no hand in the massacre maybe the war would have been averted
