Over hyped town. These pix were taken in one tiny area, just within govt house area. This area constitute just 5% of the town. Where are the area that constitute 95% of the town like obiagu, asata, ogui, Awkunanaw, abakpa, emene, uwani, etc.

modsfucker:


Bros, they are more than 10, those are just the popular ones. I personally met a myriad of Igbo Muslims, at the Central Mosque, Abuja.

Ikenna0b:


Don't mind them. They like lying to themselves. For too long they've been trying to include an imaginary Muslim villages in Nsukka and Ebonyi state. That's why I don't trust that plan to give lands to Northern Herdsmens. Them niggas have a plan cooking. It's obvious they have a plan.

There is no native muslims, but the Imam is a non-native abi. You people just like to deny things a lot, the bolded alone says it all contradicting yourself, can you see you lack comprehension skills, before you said there is no mosque in Nssuka except in UNN, meanwhile the community has a central mosque, so the community central mosque is a virtual central mosque abi, as I have said before ma tan ara e (keep deceiving yourself)..Islam is here to stay in Igboland, deal with it.

Ugwuanyi commends Nsukka Muslims for peaceful co-existence
— 18th April 2018
Felix Ikem, Nsukka

Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has commended Nsukka Muslim community for peaceful co-existence with their neighbours and host community.

Ugwuanyi gave the commendation in Nsukka, yesterday, during the installation of Alhaji Sani Ugwuanyi, the Imam of Nsukka Central Mosque, as the leader of Nsukka Muslim community.

“Enugu State government is happy with the Nsukka Muslim community for the peaceful co-existence with their neighbours, irrespective of tribe and religious affiliations.

“Members of Nsukka Muslim community have, by their good conduct, shown that they are God-fearing, patriotic and detribalised Nigerians,” he said.

The governor, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Market Affairs, Chief Aniegbulam Ezeugwu, reiterated that he is the father of all in Enugu State, irrespective of tribe, religion or political party affiliation.

He said the state government will continue to ensure adequate security, justice as well as peace among residents in the state.

He congratulated the newly installed muslim leader in Nsukka, and urged him to continue to do those things that made the people elect him as their leader.

In his remarks, the traditional ruler of Nkpunano community, Igwe Patrick Okoro, commended muslims for their peaceful nature and good neighbourliness since they started living in Nsukka.


Speaking shortly after his installation as the leader of Nsukka Muslim community, Ugwuanyi thanked the community for the confidence reposed in him.

Meanwhile, women in the state, under the auspices of United Enugu Women for Gburugburu, a socio-political organisation for the promotion of peace and good governance in the state, yesterday organised “a solidarity march” in support of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s re-election in 2019.

The women said they support Governor Ugwuanyi’s re-election because he has performed creditably in office and positively touched the lives of the people of the 17 local government areas in the state, despite prevailing economic challenges in the country.

The muslims Governor Uguwanyi commended are from Hausaland and yorubaland abi. Keep lying. I know a person that served in Enugu 15 years ago, he told me how he felt relaxed anytime he visited Nssuka as a muslim.

Even with your last comment shows your hatred for Muslims and Northerners. Just because a blogger called Dauda Ayanda a muslim from Yorubaland wrote about Islam in igboland you called a "joke". The blogger even gave references for further studies. Mr. man do research and stop carrying lies all about. He said, there is no mosque at Nssuka (only in UNN) meanwhile, the community has an Imam that is an Igbo mudlim. Ma tan ra e (keep deceiving yourself).

Gaddafithe2nd:

Lies right.... Please, read an excerpt from this article and go through the link. Nssuka people were the first to embrace Islam in the SE, thanks to their northern neigbours. A religion entering a city or a town or country doesn't mean it will be the dominant e.g Turkey and Syria or Najran (a province in present day Saudi Arabia where Christianity was more dominant. Even during the time of Prophet Muhammed,peace be upon him many of them still practiced Christianity under the leadership of the Muslims Khalifa)where Islam came after Christianity after many centuries.



ISLAM IN IGBOLAND – BETWEEN “PHOBIA” AND REALITY (PART1)
REALITY -

The advent of Islam in Igboland was probably during the mid-nineteen century C.E. or even sometimes prior to that period. The Igala and Idoma people with whom the Igbo share border had cultural influence on the people of Nsuka who are considered as pioneer adherents of Islamic faith among the Igbo. The impact of Islam could not be felt among the Igbo until towards the end of the nineteen century. By the beginning of the twenty first century, a large number of Igbo around Nsuka began to embrace Islam. Before the establishment of the British colonial rule in Igboland, Muslim traders who came to the area won converts for Islam. Those traders include the Hausa, Fulani, Nupe people, and some Yoruba Muslims especially from Ilorin that joined the crusade later. During the British rule, most of the labourers used in road construction and as warrant officers assigned to look after some of the places around Nsuka were Muslims from Nupe and Hausa lands and they assisted the traders in disseminating of Islamic faith.

Only a Mutula won't believe there are Igbo people that are Muslims. Based on research done by a lecturer of University of Nigeria, Nssuka; Islam was the first strange religion that entered Nssuka before christianity.

I know few Igbo muslims which my mother's friend is one of them. The Eze Abdulfatah Emetuma I know his wife, she is also a muslim and also a lecturer in one higher institution in South-east. Their children are all muslims, even one married an Igbo muslim lady.
There some Igbo muslims that never practiced christianity in their lives courtesy of their grandfathers that accepted Islam more than half a century ago.

MayorofLagos:
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.

Are there names you think should be on this list? Leave a Comment!

Handsomegod:
As for the abandoned Maryam Babangida auditorium,same weak foundation story was circulated during our time. An excuse that is as lame and ridiculous.Only in Nigeria do we hear such lame excuses. If the foundation is weak,there are a million ways to shore it up and these include redesigning of the base,installing core reinforcement columns and pillars both on the base and the sides etc. Such excuses dont fly in the face of current advances in Civil and Structural engineering. Politics has always been in the details. If completed,that 7000 seater auditorium would have been the biggest in Nigeria and arguably Africa.
Recall that Nnamdi Azikiwe Library is the largest University Library in Nigeria and was vigorously pursued and completed,against all opposition by Dr Sam Egwu when he was the Minister of Education strictly as a legacy project.
The burnt Engineering laboratory is still not restored and Chemical Engineering department cancelled as a fall out of the Civil war is yet to be allowed to resume again. Hell will freeze over for the teleguided NUC to grant such approval again. I wish our people will really understand the depth of conspiracy going on in Nigeria especially as it affects us.

Handsomegod:
Where exactly within Nsukka campus do they intend to erect this building? Aside Vet,Agric Faculty and Green gate area,is there space anywhere that can take this massive structure? Meanwhile,is the Maryam Babangida theatre still abandoned or being constructed?

emmie14:

That's pathetic. Actually am not from Enugu state but I thought Enugu is practicing zoning

scantee:


Your right bro, in as much chime didn't do much for my LGA Awgu but I think he did more than ugwuanyi, at least he touched over 60% LGA and the metropolitan, Ugwuanyi is trying but he only focus mostly in his town Ogba and Nsukka neglecting every other areas, we the Awgu people massively voted for him, not even a borehole he couldn't give us.

Sectional politics and development in Enugu is a call for concern.

scantee:


I hope u will not complain when other future governors overlook development of Nssukka?

We the AWGU LGA are yet to produce a governor even though we are the oldest LGA in Enugu State, if not for Senator Ekweremadu who is trying with his constituency project to develop Awgu, all previous and present government always neglect us.

God punish them all.
