maestroferddi:
You are even sounding dumber...

The Katafs numbering close to a million are predominantly Christians... so which kind of lazy parallel were you trying to draw?

Balyz:
Katafs don't number nearly close to a million. There are over 40 different ethnic in kaduna. I know cose I lived there for close to 15 years. But you can Google it to confirm

maestroferddi:
I am a well-travelled Igboman.

I was even being generous with that figure.

There is no how I can communicate the repudiation/disgust/revulsion an average Igboman habours for Islam...

Forget these asinine tales being spurned by misguided Muslim Yoruba media elements....Embracing Islam in Igboland is like setting oneself up as a pariah/outcast...

Islam and its doctrine are antithetical to Igbo consciousness and world view...

You will not know...

naptu2:
Names are just names. Some of these people converted from one religion to the other and decided to retain their names (just like people that have Ogun or Ifa in their names and decided to retain them even though they are Christians). There are also people that are atheists that bear the name Christian. It's simple common sense.

P.s. I couldn't care less whether you know about my friends or not.

Stick to bigotry, ignorance and your anti social way of life if you must, but stop peddling ignorant and dumb stats without credible states.

Armaggedon:
No. names are not just name. Every name reflect situations, luck and religious significance which is why You have Christian and Muslim names. Anyone who answers the name Christian and claims he is Muslim is lying about his Muslim identity or do normal Muslims answer Christian?

about your friend, yes! next time don't use instances "known" only by you in a conversation.

maestroferddi:
I can't get the point you were trying to make...

maestroferddi:
Not a so smart way of chickening out like a coward...

Learning Point: Stick to what you have an inkling about at all times...

It is, at least, a default safe position.

Balyz:
I'm debunking your claim that the Katafs of kaduna number over a million

You have nothing to offer beyond letting us know that you are ignorant and a bigot, stick to that and stop manufacturing dumb and ignorant stats.

Seetto:
Na so Igbo people hate Muslims reach, just ordinary sallah message see how they are pained and spitting fire, God ,the hatred in this people mind is irredeemable, how can single a tribe hold hatred in their mind so tey they cannot hide it, no wonder you won't see a single Yoruba/Hausa investment in the east and they are well accommodated in other regions...

I don't want to believe all these social media Igbo miscreants..

I have a friend an Igbo Muslim from ebonyi , he was born and brought up there, and recite Quran fluently and confess all their family members are Muslim, but the hatred these people are spewing is very bad...

maestroferddi:
Please extend your understanding of Kataf as used by me to imply all the ethnic non-Hausa Fulani people in Kaduna State in line with the subject matter.


The population figure for Kaduna State in 2006 stood at over 6 million...

I, therefore, daresay that it is inconceivable that this ethnic people must have grown to over a million as at today...

We know the ploy used by the Hausa-Fulani hegemony and their collaborators in the north to stratify/factionalized/balkanize these people so as to further their selfish interest in the scheme of things.

In the final analysis, how many people know that the religion demographics in Kaduna is not that tilted towards Islam?

maestroferddi:
I take it that you have learnt your lessons....

I will cut you some slack...Please try to engage your handbrake going forward...

meccuno:
Some times I wonder the way people reason. A people do not want to be associated with a particular religion is that a crime against humanity? Now one who always post pictures of osun state refers to Igbos as full of hate and bigotry? Is the same person talking about Igbos going back to their village that they do not respect the traditions of the land. Your tribe believes in the traditions of their land and want people to respect that but these same people are saying the religious rights of an ethnic group should not be respected? It's enough that we get all these taunting and it is not enough but you prefer to infringe on the religious rights of those who are your target audience . It's not by force .people should use their brain. Are Christmas holidays observed in Saudi Arabia? Not to talk of sending greetings on Saudi TV. It only shows how dumb people are in their reasoning. Igbos are predominantly Christians please respect that.

Balyz:
you've obviously never Left your village

Destiny34:
lie no igbo Muslim! Any igbo that convert to islam always die mysteriously! Cause it's a curse for us...

deomelo:
Being a bigot and not wanting to associate with other people is not a crime, same way wishing igbo Muslims happy EID or being igbo Muslim is not a crime.

There's something in the Nigerian constitution called freedom of religion and association. Also, Nigeria is a secular country with almost 50/50 Christians/Muslims while Saudi Arabia is not so you people need to stop peddling that ignorant and meaningless analogies.

haaryobhami:
goin through this post nd i can't help but ask why igbos are so full of hate.
I use to defend them then on nairaland,people even call me ipob but this is to much.
this people are animals nd dy dont deserve to live among humans.
I wish they get there biafra nd go with there hate.
how can grown ass men nd women be this hateful nd sentimental

Seetto:
I tire o, they are frustrating, I don't know if that is how they are generally or some foolish online miscreant make it look so, I expected the Igbo on nairaland to condemn their counterpart base on the op extract from BBC page, but they follow the same path, I come to conclusion that is how they are, full of hate and bitterness..
