    Factors Responsible for the Development of Islam and Challenges Facing the Urban Planning in Ibadan: Historical Analysis
    (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2015-08) Ibraheem Mikail Abiola
    Islam came into Ibadan land through trade relation that had been established between Hausa, Nupe and the Yoruba people. These category set of people exchanged kolanuts, animal skin, leather and grandnuts as medium of trade as far back as 14th and 15th centuries. Thus, the age long trade contact and communication between these mentioned groups of people further consolidated the advent and spread of Islam in Ibadan land.1 After the collapse of old Oyo Empire, many refuges migrated into Ibadan to settle because they were unsettled and displaced from their hometowns. By 1830, the dominant Yoruba and Hausa Muslim groups that settled in Ibadan land include the Oyo-Yoruba, Ife and Egba, Nupe and Bornu groups

    Historical Investigation to the Problems and Challenges of Muslims in Papua New Guinea
    (International Journal of Culture and History,, 2016-03) Ibraheem Mikail Abiola; Haruna Umar Farouq; Maruf RajiOwoyemi
    —It is not difficult to see why Muslims who live as a minority innon-Muslimcountries like Papua New Guinea are seen as a problem and threat.These are partly due to political and historical factors, partly due to the press media, which have unjustly confirmed for many that Muslims are violent, prone to anarchy. Mostnon-Muslimcountries like Papua New Guinea in which Muslims live have an image of themselves as plural, secular, modern and tolerant societies. Muslims somehow challenge such an image; they provoke the worst aspect of the state hence, instead of solving the problems of the Muslims in a manner that would be mutually beneficial, the state tends to ignore or minimize them. The examples of Papua New Guinean minority Muslims are like that of former state of Yugoslavia where the Serbs went one step further with Muslim minority. They systematically terrorized them and sent them from their homes, the world called it ethnic cleansing and did nothing.Bosnia was added to the list of recent Muslim losses. Can the same fate happen in Papua New Guinea? What offends Muslims living in a country as the minority community?

    Ilorin Emirate Scholars of Nupe Origin’s Role in The Educational Curriculum of The Emirate
    (Journal of Islamic Educational Research (JIER), 2025-05) AbdulRahman Adebayo Suleiman; Yusuf Saliu Danlad; Ibraheem Mikail Abiola
    Education is the basis of uprightness, morality, credible and reliable technology, and security, which are essential for life sustenance. The foundation of standard education lies in a sound curriculum. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the University of Timbuktu in the defunct Songhai Empire of West Africa competed successfully with European Universities in all spheres of knowledge. However, in the twenty-first century, none of the West African universities possessed the quality attained by their counterparts in the industrialized countries. This indicates that many things went wrong in our universities' evolutionary trends and development. This study examined the historical contributions of Nupe scholars alongside other ethnic groups (Hausa, Yoruba, and Fulani) of Ilorin Emirate origin to the educational development of the geographical entity, to enable the reform of our educational system for positive growth. The paper adopted a historical research method, which involved a case study approach, using archival materials, oral interviews, text content analysis, comparative analysis, and internet materials to assess the causes and courses of the dysfunctional educational system in the Ilorin Emirate. The study concluded that the scholars of Nupe extractions from the Ilorin Emirate contributed immensely to the enrichment of the academic curriculum of the Emirate. Although this was sustained, there was a slow pace in its further development, which adversely impacted the educational development of the Ilorin Emirate.

    Islamic Society of Papua New Guinea and its role in Dawah activities
    (LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2015) Ibraheem Mikail Abiola
    I propose to study the Islamic Society of Papua New Guinea (ISPNG) and its role in Dawah activities since 1977. The year 1977, marks the beginning of the spread and growth of Islam in the country. This study would focus on some important issues faced by the Muslim community in Papua New Guinea during recent times. This includes issues related to minority affairs1; where Muslims are outnumbered by Christians; the role of media houses both local and international, which project a negative image of Muslims; the issue of proselytization and interaction between Muslims and Christians missionaries; the issue of understanding and practising Islam under such conditions; and the policy of the government towards the issues of Muslims. It is hoped that this study would help to develop a theoretical framework which can be used at other countries, where Muslims remain a minority and enabling comparisons to be made for knowledge and improving the status quo
