Your analysis is dead wrong. You have decided to dash Muslims up north 80%, and then dashed them 40% again down south? Haba mana...fear God.

not dashing them anything, that's what stat reveals.

I am actually surprised pple are doubting this statistics cause it has been available since God knows when, Muslims are more than Christians in Nigeria.
Just think about it, the North is over about 80% muslim and remember they marry numerous wives and give birth to a lot of children (most of them not all) and then the south is about 30-40% muslim as well, so yes, muslims are mire than christians in Nigeria.

Until census is conducted to ascertain which is more. You may look at it from the angle of huge birth rate in North as most of them are Muslim but come to think of it, the Christians has increased of recent in the north and combining the population of Christian in the entire south, I can say it's 52%-48% in favour of Christian.

You know nothing about the religious demography of your country. Do you realise there's a significant population of christians even in a state like Bornu? There might be as many Christians in the North as there are Muslims in the South brother. Dont doubt it for a moment.

Yeah, you are right. Lagos has the fifth largest economy in Africa, and may even overtake Algeria in few years. Aside Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Lagos is the fifth.

How does this argument contribute to the Article? We have no proper statistics anyway..

It distracts from the central message in the article.

The title should be 'Lagos could teach the west a few things' Or better still Southwest Nigeria could teach the West a few things. And not Nigeria please..Coz some people are ethno- religious drunk.

Oga, good morning. Muslims are bigger than Christians in Nigeria. The entire northern states make up 70% of Nigeria. Look at your map, it doesn't lie.

Some people will still argue the population of Muslims to Christians in Nigeria..

Half of the state's in the country is pure northern..Muslim 90percent to 10

the population of christians in the north can never be more than muslims there or can never be as much as christians in the south and the population of muslims in the south can never be as much as muslims in the north. Execept the ratio has changed recently, the statistucbelow has been available for a long time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nigeria
According to a 2001 report[14] from The World Factbook by CIA, about 50% of Nigeria's population is Muslim, 40% are Christians and 10% adhere to local religions.

Show me the stats. You can't just pull a number out from the hat and expect me to agree. I'm from the north. And where am from(Taraba), our population as Christians outweigh Muslims. Most states in the North East have a very large Christian presence. Borno, Adamawa, Gombe. Now take the population of states in the North Central that are usually classified as Northern states. Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Niger, Kogi etc. Some of these states above, like Benue...Christians, Niger...evenly divided, Plateau...Christians, Nasarawa...Muslims with a good number of Christians, Kogi...evenly divided etc.

Down South, apart from a state like Edo, is there any state that has a large population of Muslims? So where did you get your 40 percent Muslims down South from?

I understand your point as regards the number of wives Muslims marry. And Yes, their population might be more than Christians. But except a census is conducted as to that regard, I will not accept any projection as word of truth.

What has landmass got to do with population? Very naíve statement to make.

The landmass if the entire SE for instance is just about that of Sokoto state, but you cant compare the population of Sokoto in anyway to that of the SE.

Have you been to the north? Yes or no? Aside Lagos, which other southern states in Nigeria have a very big population? Even Lagos is fairly divided between Muslims and Christians, as some yorubas are Muslims.

CIA fact file. Psst! Those con artists?! See, Fani Kayode (FFK) sometimes speaks like someone who is mad. But even a mad man sometimes says things that are true. His last exchange on social media with Reno Omokri was particularly interesting. For one to really understand this country, you need to read it's history and how the north vehemently opposed Nigeria's independence. Forget the British and anyone that is her ally. Forget the CIA fact file.

My dear brother you asked the question before I did.See how the western journalists assume a lot of trash about Nigeria.Nigeria is a predominantly Christian country and no one should deceive us with false statistics.May be he meant the north since we know that we have many more.christians in the North than we were meant to believe.See how they help blood sucking fulani maurauders to shape the demographics of our country.

Lagos - A Yoruba commune (city state) within the Yoruba country.
She is only doing what other Yoruba city states have done in the past .

Ife
Oyo empire
Ibadan empire

Egbas

Lagos and other Yoruba towns and cities are the exhibition of the unique values and tradition of the Oodua states

1 Tolerance
2 Community
3 Respect for nature and environment
4 Charity
5 Good character.
6 Conservation.

All these values were developed over centuries and guided by the knowledge of the universe , The Yoruba religion and the philosophy / body of knowledge of ifa. Those values constitute the wealth of the Oodua nation .
Unfortunately,those values are be are being lost to an ogre of a Nigerian state.
Those value or what is left of it will sustain an independent Yoruba nation.




Congratulations . Use those virtues and values of Yoruba to establish an independent state of odudua. If in realities you're comfortable why haven't you push for independence and quench the conterminous nature of Biafra and Arewa or is that premature or fear of unknown? You have succeeded in tribalizing the sound mindedness and intentions of the OP.

This is 2001 statistics dear. Things have change over the time and don't ever conclude based on the high birth rate of the northerners hereby concluding the Muslims are more. There are other factors to consider such as death rate, survival rate, accessibility to health, food and other basic amenities which favours the south more.
