Shi'a Group in Nigeria

Authors: Bilyaminu Muhammad;

Shi'a Group in Nigeria

Abstract

Shi'a is an Islamic religious group that emerged in Nigeria consequent to the Iranian revolutionary movement for the establishment of the Islamic nation, which inspired the Al-Zakzakiy to organize some Muslim brothers for a movement to establish the Islamic administration in Nigeria. The struggle had not succeeded in the mission but rather came into conflict with security operatives to safeguard the administrative trend of the then government. The group adopted the religious principles practiced in the Republic of Iran, with some little changes in the cultural practices in Nigeria. The minority group established schools, books, and mosques and organized lecture sessions to impart knowledge of their beliefs and ideologies that often differ (slightly) from that of the Sunni principles in some instances.
