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.
I have been to the north. My problem with your submission is using landmass as a basis for comparism.

Lagos is what it is, simply because the FG made it so out of stupidity of keeping everything there. Even if you put a dog as governor, Lagos will still continue to expand because a small area can not serve 180 million people without experiencing exponential growth. Lagos is the major reason afonjas keep shouting one Nigeria. They want the city to grow into the adjoining states with the contribution of other Nigerians. Smh.
Lagos.I had been ordained by Eledumare to be great. And mind u i said Eledumare, not chineke.

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.

The statement Nigeria is made up of 50% Muslim's and 40% Christians. That is very dangerous. No facts to back that argument. And for those happy about that Lagos issue should not forget that it had the privilege of being the country's capital for more than 30 years. I smell something fishy in this report


Calabar also serve as Nigeria Capital sometimes Ago.

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.

and apart from edo state, most south west states have a large muslim population Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun they have a lot of muslims.
Even Auchi in Edo state has a significant number of Muslims.

I am actually surprised pple are doubting this statistic 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 more than christians in Nigeria.

Let me demystify your erroneous belief. The North isn't 80% Muslim. The only region in Nigeria that can boast of over 75% indigenous Muslim population is the Northwest, comprising Kano, katsina, sokoto, zamfara, kano, Jigawa, kebbi and kaduna. Southern kaduna is Christian dominated and atheists. There are also indigenous Christians in Kebbi and other states. Admittedly, that is the Muslim dominated part of Nigeria, you can give it 90% to 10%.

The Northeast, although, has majority Muslims but high percentage of Christians especially in Southern parts of Bauchi, Gombe, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe especially indigenous population. For your information, a whole lots of places where Boko Haram has been very active were Christian areas give rise to suspicion that it may be an approach of decimating Christians in that part of Nigeria. Ascribing percentages here is a bit difficult but in the states of Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, indigenous Christians cannot be less than 30% while atheist like 5-10%

The middle Belt states of kwara, kogi, Benue, Taraba, Niger, Plateau, Nararawa are a mix of both religions of which when you pull the population together it may be like 55% Christians to 40% Muslims and 5% atheists.

Of course the southwest of Nigeria is known to all and among the indigenous Yoruba people where you have probably the highest Muslims converts into Christianity in the world, is the melting pot of three religion and the headquarters of pentecostal/ Evangelical Christianity in Africa. Among the Yoruba you can safely assume around 60% Christians, 35%Muslims and 5% exclusively atheists.

The South South and southeast are Christian and atheists dominated with less than 1% Muslims.

When you put these estimates together you can't say Nigeria is muslin dominated.I have transverse this country and can safely say all those population data brandied by NBS and NPC are not empirical, they are just applying growth rate on disputed figures!
Taken that Muslims in the northwest especially give birth to many children, that is not to mean that the population of the north can now be double of the south, its against all natural law of habitat.The man who commented on Lagos committed that error probably pulling his data out of some make belief data in circulation. You can safely say that Nigeria is about 54% Christians today.

Every Afonja you meet outside their region always claim to be from Lagos.
None of them do agree that they are from Ibadan or osogbo.

You're very correct bro. We all know this and today the success of Lagos the Yorubas want to exclusively claim. That we can't allow to happen. Either way Nigeria is Lagos and Lagos is Nigeria or Nigeria made Lagos while Lagos made Nigeria. Whatever happens to Nigeria happens to Lagos and vice versa. Let those that have eyes see clearly.

Pls stop fanning d flames for Nigeria's disintegration cuz it won't sooth anyone. It is vital 4 Nigeria to work thru her problems and remain one in order to lead dis continent. No other country in africa has d potential to do dis apart from Nigeria. Biafra, lagos, Fulani, Niger delta don't have the capacity to do this if they stand as a sovereign nation-state

Are you saying the FG also compel them to be tolerant of each other's religion and other differences?

The journalist just described the Yoruba SW and this is probably why other Nigerians are comfortable living there rather than your biafraland where even the indigenes doesn't feel safe.
