Before reading: Be guided that this short write up is my personal worries and concern and I don't mean to instigate anything into anyone.

I only intend to get sincere feedback from Well-Exposed, Well Travelled and Highly Educated (Minority) Muslims like me.


Coming from a minority ethnic group that practices Islam, I see that I am more closer to the Yoruba's than their counterpart (The Hausas) but what baffles me is that ever since I have been a child, the statusquo and attitude remains THE SAME!!!! And no improvement and this is what is being passed on to their children (even children whom are we educated).

My concerns are;

1? Why is it that these people pretend a lot in their dealings??
(When they go to mosque, it's fake. What's they greet, smile, associate with Muslims whom are not from their tribe. The bottom line bitter truth is that Yoruba Muslims are wholely guided by their culture. I am fine with this, and even enjoy their dealings in the academic space but my worry is... WHY THE "INHERITED PRETENTIOUS LIFESYTLE"

2. Why is it that Muslims (in general) "struggle" to marry across tribes most especially in Nigeria?
Is it a curse? Kilode!!! No sincere unity.
In my estimation, this is a measure of not only insecurities but their level of exhibition of true love.

I have more Christian friends and associates and I must be very sincere to you, I am more improved with their approach to many things, including their sincere embrace of unity and diversity amongst all.

(Anyone is welcome to share real life experiences but PLEASE, I need well-enlightened, educated and exposured persons on this. If you are not, please just pass by. Hoping to learn a thing or two. Thanks)
