To all Muslims in Nigeria, take time to reflect and learn from the unfortunate events at AFCON ’26, especially the match between the host nation Morocco 🇲🇦 and Senegal 🇸🇳. Both are predominantly Muslim countries, with over 97% of their populations identifying as Muslim. What may interest you is ther collective histories. The then king of Senegal (the King of Tekrur) was introduced to Islam by the Arabs, the ancestors of present-day Moroccans. He adopted Islam and initially introduced it to his people peacefully, but later enforced it through jihad warfare. Fast forward to today: Senegal is about 97% Muslim. Considering this history, one would expect Moroccans to treat Senegalese with respect, given that Senegal was successfully Islamized centuries ago and even carried out jihad on behalf of Arab merchants. But, as I have always said, no matter how hard we try as Africans, we cannot gain true respect anywhere in the world by clinging to the very regions and identities that were used to colonize us. You cannot be more Islamic than the Arabs, neither can you be more Christian than the Christiandom who brought this foreign religion to your doorstep. Despite Senegal being a Muslim country, and despite having fought jihad on behalf of Arabs, the Senegalese were still allegedly referred to as “monkeys” during AFCON by Moroccans. They were attacked and assaulted. Yet, the spirit of Africa, the God of Alkebulan, not Allah, granted victory to the best player at the end of the match. Do not get me wrong. I am not asking anyone to abandon his or her beliefs or religion. I am only urging us to begin to see and act beyond religion by putting humanity first and embracing our cultural values as African people. ~OIA✊🏼
