Salam Aleikum Ya Ikwaan
My name is Muhammad Ibn Zakariyya An-Naijiree from Nigeria. I registered some days back and I'm happy with the activities going on here. I joined this forum because of the alarming rate Shia missionary are getting hold our Sunni brothers in West Africa.
Nigeria and West africa are known to be stronghold of Strict Ahl Sunnah and Soofees, but for the last 30years after the Iranian Revolution, Shiaism has gained popularity through a man called "Sheikh" Ibrahim El-Zakzaky. I for once thought the Shias only had their grip on northern Nigeria(mostly Hausas and Fulanis) but they've managed to get hold of the South(Yorubas).
Yorubas are known for their intelligence, so when some converted to Shiaism, they helped to propagate it more. Mind you I'm a yoruba too, a very smart yoruba Shia is Toyib Olawuyi(I guess you know about him, I wish I could get the refutation to his book because many use it to tackle sunnis trying to expose Shiaism).
El-Zakzaky was able to get many Soofees and "I don't care" sunnis into his fold by branding shiaism with a new name. He called it 'Islamic Movement of Nigeria'(here's their website
http://www.islamicmovement.org/), so many Sunnis in the north were deceived. Now this guys have gained power in this country. I'm sure you must have heard about their clash with Army(though I don't like them but I never support shedding their blood).
This people have also been able to grab many Sunnis with their popular slogan "Muslim Unity!!!", recently a friend(may Allah guide him) of mine also a Yoruba is falling for their deception. They were able to get hold some brothers on this Nigerian Forum in which I’m a member, I tried refuting them when they tried to play their wahabi card on Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdulwahab
http://www.nairaland.com/2627894/crush-cause-300-iranians-violatedNow a Shia with a monicker "AlBaqir" is who I suspect to be Toyib Olawuyi, he uses Toyib's books and he's super-smart. I was only able to shut him up in a debate about the Najd--Iraq Hadith in the above link. I'll be posting some of his posts here so as you guys could help. He has been successfull in changing some brothers. After getting hold of them, he then sends load of Shia books to them. Here's his profile:
