Igbo Corper Who Converted To Islam because he had Buhari Say He’s Getting Death Threats
Chukwuma Austin Dike |
The Igbo corps member who shocked Nigerians by converting to a Muslim
was serving as a Batch C corp member in Konshisha LGA Benue State when
he made the conversion to fulfill his Buhari vow. Chukwuma has however
come out to claim he’s been getting a lot of death threats. He has
decided to tell Nigerians why he converted. Read the letter below:
Dear Nigerians,
WHY I JOINED ISLAM
My name is Chukwuma Austin Dike. My Islamic name is Mohammed Mustapha.
I’m from Mbaitoli Local Government, in Imo state, a graduate of
political science from University of Nigeria Nsukka and I am presently
serving the nation Nigeria in Konshisha local government in Benue state.

The truth is that I have always loved Islam as a kid in the 80’s in
Dakata kano I played most times in the masjid (Mosque). I grew up loving
the masjid not until my secondary school days when I left kano. To me
is like a reunion but to those who saw the headlines, some said that I
am dancing the macabre dance of religious cross carpeting, some said
Buhari is my God but I say ALLAH IS MY GOD. I join Islam based on
CONVICTION and I don’t care about anybody’s interpretation; one with God
is in the majority.
The vow: there is no controversy at all among those who knew me before
May 29 except they decided to lie. I made the vow three times. Firstly,
at wanunne camp in Benue state before some Muslim corpers in November
2014. Secondly, early December in my house before my family members and
thirdly before the staff of the school I was teaching Government (my
PPA) in February this year. Funny enough everybody thought I was joking.
What was my vow: Some Muslim brothers during a political argument told
me last year authoritatively that Allah has given Buhari victory, no
matter how hard the then president tries he will not win. I was
flabbergasted! Then I vowed if Buhari wins this forth coming election, I
will believe that ALLAH IS THE GREATEST and I will convert to Islam and
serve ALLAH as my God. The vow was made before God and man.Thanks to
ALLAH that I kept my vow. On the issue of election and general politics
Nigerians from the age of 18 and above, if u did not experience anything
on the day of the presidential election and May 29 Handover, you are
either immature or living a care free life.
On my view on Muhammad Buhari today, I rather advise Him to retain the
principal of federal character and totally reject the political theory
of winner takes it all; it is not healthy for our modern democracy and
the political culture of Nigeria. Corruption is a canker worm; it’s like
a virus eating Nigeria from the inside it must be treated like Ebola.
Having said this Mr President I solicit for general amnesty to all
corrupt officers that will return his or her looted fund; because if
amnesty can be granted to killing, it can also be granted to corruption.
Furthermore, as you intensify your fight against corruption also
include tribalism and religious intolerance.
NYSC should not be scraped but the allawee should be increased and at
least the sum of 200,000 naira should be given to each graduating NYSC
member to start a small scale business. This measure to me will reduce
unemployment, because already at the camp most corpers had skills
acquisition training. May almighty ALLAH grant you Mr President the
wisdom to rule Nigeria, by the special grace of ALLAH we shall meet in
Aljanah.
As a Muslim I have received a lot of death and excommunication threats
but in all I thank Almighty Allah for honoring me with Islam, my life
and destiny is in the hand of ALLAH. SALAM.
– Chukwuma Mohammed Mustapha Dike
