Nigeria is Muslim majoriy country but it has allot of Christians the problem is they are Bantu and Bantu claims all sort of ancestry because they are cabiids and biddas. Shia are anti west anti Israel. Most of the suni leaders are pro west. Xisbullah xassan nasrallah bashar al Assad cali sistani . Ali kheimeini xassan rooxaani axmedeinajad have always been anti west. While the suni block country always supports France England And the United States. It's geopolitics. It hasn much to do with ceeqaada. Saddam xuseyn was some times anti west and but some times he got his guns from the west. During the Iraq iran war but he was nin rageed because He wasn't a slave of the Petro dollar and the west . Same as qadafi Mr kitaabal akhtar. But the west will never defeat assad al xafid al calaawi and shica republican guard from Iran and Russia old viad.
I know you are talking about Igbo and Yoruba(political ruling class), they are not bantu ethnic group, they are related to bantus like Kikuyu but still distinct from them genetically, linguistically and culturally they are unique, they are the ones with most Hebrew, Jew affinity, because they were mostly converted Christianity since colonization. they also make up roughly 50% of the Atlantic slave trade, and they wanted to secede like Somaliland to form Biafra independent state.
Nigeria has population of nearly twice the size of Ethiopia, there are multiple other ethnic groups, some are even more related to East Africans, like the Fulani-Hausa, they majority share same genetics like a topical Saho from Eritrea, they are linguistically, culturally distinct from stereotypical West African or even North African, they resemble more Canfar in their features with some admixture of stereotypical west african. They are Sunni Muslims, I don't know if it is them who are converting to Shia, but majority of them are still sunni.
I agree all the sects in Islam have more to do with politics than caqeeda.
