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.

There is nothing like an Igbo Muslim... They are just after the money available.

Islam and Igboness are mutually exclusive...

Political Muslims

Nairalanders religion will take you no where , knowledge of God the Father will. Be you Muslim or Christian, the label does not matter as much as the life you lead.

Strive to be an example in any circle you find yourselves

Live and let live , this should be your watch word

Masha Allah. This is quite interesting. More Muslims to the Ibos.

Don't know why it sounded funny seeing Sheikh, Ustaz and Alhaji being added to Igbo names.

Sheikh Nwagui
Ustaz Okonkwo

Kikikiki

Let's not kid anybody, in 1000 years from now Igbo land will still not embrace Islam.



Out of 5 million igbos you'll struggle to find one Muslim. That is if you find any.


P.s I'm Yoruba
