It appears that the gradual but inevitable Islamization of the Oduduwa people is becoming a reality. The once bastion of christian custodians of the Anglican Church. We are slowly witnessing the changing of their names to Arabic names....Whats next?

I have been out on a short trip, thus I was not able to respond to your inquiry. Suffice it to say that:
(1) When a nation or people do not
have grounded principles upon
which their collective ethos is
built; and are part of:
(2) A nation state (Nigeria)where
the influential few are feudal
lords and Monarchs; dialectical
materialism reigns supreme.

The interplay of this two situations is evident in your Nigeria of today. The feudal through their proxys are rolling the dice. The educational institutions were purposefully allowed to deteriorate, so that it will not continue to produce educated people who will not willy-nilly latch on to any form of doctrine. Look into your History, you'll find that back in the fifties,there were not as many mosques in Yorubaland as there are today. You cited new age evangeelical churches, yes they might be springing up, but how many of the converted remain doctrinaire. Such religious experiences tends to pander to the emotion rather than the spirit. You may well be aware that most people confuse their emotions with spiritual decernment.

Talk to some of your friends, and find out how many are first generation moslems, that should answer your question.

Fairly recently, after the OPC/Hausa debacle in Lagos, the Spiritual head of the Hausa community in Lagos stated " Lagos is Alausa" some prominent Yoruba Lagosians laughed it off. I think the statement could be allegorically speaking of some ominus portend.
