Hahahahah... Igbo kids, where, how? Show this kids with a banner as Igbo kids, thanks.
So you don’t see the Igbo people sitting down in that pictures right?

I operate differently on Nairaland, I don’t need you to tell me what I wrote is the truth or not because expecting honesty from an Igbo Jew like you will be an exercise in futility.

So if you like believe, it doesn’t falsify the message of truth I’m passing.

Salam alaykum!!!

Oil Dey your head.

Normally nothing concerns me about whether the Igbos have Muslims or not, but they have all been on Nairaland disturbing the media space with Yoruba Muslims.

Now they can’t even mention Yoruba Muslims again because they know we are here to show them the Igbo Muslims scattered around Ala Igbo land

If I see any of them mention Yoruba Muslim again, they will be in soup.

Igbo Muslims ti take over!

Most Igbos on Nairaland are generally are double mouthed. They always have a penchant for lying or justifying instance hypothesis even in the face of glaring truth.

They always bring our rubbish defense when they’ve been defeated by self-evident truth. So it’s not a surprise to me when they say those Igbo Muslims loyalty are bought with money.

Don’t mind the Igbo Jews.

In the event a Christian Northerner emerges as presidential candidate for PDP, a Muslim Southerner will be picked to be running mate. It is good to know that Ibo has muslims.

Any Northerner who believe in Igbo Muslims need to dust his head and think twice
It's impossible for Igbo man to become a true Muslim because of their value system and culture
It's fake Igbo Muslim if you see one

No normal Igbo man can follow and practice the teaching of Islam
Igbo value life and property more than the northerns and will not destroy it at chance as Koran commanded it

No Igbo man will kill or hate his family, kins men and others humans because they choose to believe in a different religions instead of Islam as Koran commanded it

If u know Igbo culture and values system well u will never believe in Igbo Muslims

Islam have been in Nigeria for thousands of years and couldn't find a place in Igbo Land

Is it now that the image of Islam is like hell fire, backwardness. deaths, destruction , illiterate etc itha the Igbos will accept? Please think again because Igbos naturally hate those images that Islam portrayed in Nigeria

The 0.0001% of the so called "Igbo Muslims" are very much welcome in Igboland, at least if nothing else, these will prove that Igbos contrary to useless opinions about them are actually tolerant people who accept people of all religions. Although we can argue these so called Igbo Muslims are mostly "business Muslims", just practicing Islam strictly for the financial benefits they will get from rich Alhajis and other Abuja connections etc, met lots of them in the North, some even marry Hausa/Northern women to build their business connections with the families of the spouses they are involved with, especially if they happen to be rich and well connected... We all know an Igbo man will gladly convert to Hinduism as long as he's getting some financial benefits from it grin. At least the "Igbo Muslims" are very peaceful and are a very quiet minority, I'll only start getting worried when any form of radicalism and barbarism is somehow introduced into the East like we have in the backward North, as long as you practice your faith in peace...then no wahala, an Igbo is not a religion fanatic.

Their copy of Islam is the danfodio version, one taught from Sokoto.

I hope we never have any more Danish cartoonists painting insults. A fatwah issued in sokoto will be heard and carried out in Anambra.

So stop this Yoruba Muslim/Christian nonsense because Igbos have their Muslims too and even Jewish worshippers
