West Africans remained faithful to their original religions when Islam was first introduced in West Africa.  

Further Explanation:-

The place where Islam spread its roots from Southwest Asia was Africa. It was the first continent where Islam grew into power after Southwest Asia and during the early part of the 7th century; almost one third of Muslim population was residing in Africa. Most of the countries from Africa where Islam was practiced as a major religion belonged to Western parts of Africa. Countries like Somalia, Ethiopia, and kingdom of Aksum used to practice Islam as their major religion. But, during its initial days when Islam started to spread in Africa, It was not very well received by people of west Africa. Initially West Africans were were resistant to Islam’s new ideas and ignored the religion and they remained faithful to their original religions but slowly with time they started following Islam as Islam grew its roots in West Africa.  In today’s scenario, Islam is one of the prominent religions of Africa and it is mainly concentrated in northern parts of Africa as well as west Africa.
