KINGwax007: Dumb ass, we the Easterners want to leave your useless phony glorified Lagos by all means yet you people wail whenever Biafra is mentioned. You should be ashamed of yourself, If your useless Western region is so peaceful and sophisticated as you claim, why not be man enough to have your yoruba nation alone? I have not seen people as useless and worthless of you Afonjas my entire life. We are proud to stay on our own because we know what we can achieve within very short period of time, but yours is lack of confidence because of your lazy nature. Pathetic indeed |

You disgust me with your lies which will not win you any medal at the end. Of the three state you mentioned from North east, only taraba has more Christian to Muslim.Your analysis show how little you no about the the religion demography of middle belt, saying Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa is 50:50 is just as stupid as you get. They are six state in middle belt or North Central if you like excluding Abuja and only two are predominantly Christians, I.e plataeu and benue, while Niger, Kogi, kwara and Nasarawa majorly Muslims. And for you to say they're not as much Muslim in the south as it's in the the north is another big fat lie. How do you explaine state like Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Lagos. You either need to read more, travel beyond your state or be less emotional towards religion. zicoraads: 2 Likes |

sissoko22: @sisoko please enlighten me on the Muslim dominated middle belt , I want to know how much of Nigeria you know. To cannot say there are not Muslims than Christians in any southwest states, its like picking baptismal record for Catholics, many have seen walks away. Even in Kwara state Yoruba areas it will be debatable when you pull population together. So you mean Muslims dominate Taraba and are overwhelming in Nasarawa? Then there's Kogi, only Ebira has more Muslims than Christians and the Igala are almost divided into two while Kogi Yoruba are Christians more. Please enlighten me 1 Like |

mandarin: Your submission is intelligent but atheists are insignificant in Nigeria. They are only on facebook. Aborishia, Maiguzuwa, Dibia etc are not atheists! I am Aborisha. Then let us just say there are equal Muslim and Christians among Yoruba, 85 percent Muslim in NW, let us say NC is equal too because Plateau Benue are 80 percent Christian, Kogi is equal, Kwara and Niger are 70 percent Muslim. So NC is like SW, NE maybe 65 percent Muslim. SE and SS are 90 percent Christian. And NW and SW have the highest population. SW is split while NW is close to 90 percent Muslim. 1 Like |

oduastates: Eastern cities like Enugu and Aba house a large number of Hausa and fulanis and even Yorubas. Calabar, Uyo, Abuja, need I go on... I carefully mentioned cities and not ethnicities like you requested because Lagos like this cities doesn't have just one ethnic group. My point been, Even the visitor tolerates the host by living and doing business amongst them. It takes two different kind of people for there to be tolerance, otherwise the word wouldn't make any meaning now. Would it? 1 Like |

chrisviral: The contradiction is on your part. You and the parson you quoted are saying the same thing especially since you admitted that Lagos is Yorubaland so no need to separate Lagos from the same Yorubaland just to prove a contradictory point. The article largely narrated and opined about religious tolerance in Lagos and surrounding areas which is the SW and households with mixed religious practices existing peacefully and even politicians marrying outside their religion. Regardless the mixture of locals nd outsiders in Lagos state, people from other places take on the culture and way of life of their host communities hence the saying When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You see the same level of religious and other forms of tolerance in other places all over the SW and outsiders are present in other parts of the SW. People moved and are moving to Lagos and other parts of the SW because of the same tolerance that suppresses frictions, religious animosity, anger, and clashes. In Nigeria's violent religious politics, the Yoruba offer a unique glimpse of tolerance You need to read many books in print about Yoruba pluralism and Religious tolerance, they even a case study and point of reference in many academic institutions and publications. 1 Like |

You were eager to reply me without reading extensively, I never said they're more Muslim in Taraba state to xtianity. I was very clear with my comment how plataeu and benue state are predominantly Christian, maybe 70-75%. As for kwara and Niger state it's visible to the blind(approx.80-85%). Coming to Kogi State, your assertion of of the Ebira people is mostly correct as its hard to see an Ebira xtian, almost no nothing about Kogi Yoruba's. I don't know how much you no of igala people, but can authoritative says that they are more Muslims than xtian in this part of Kogi State, Its a fact that every local govt or community with lesser or equal Muslim population tend to have traditional believe and xtianity in equal proportion, the most populous local govt like Ankpa(92%)and Idah(75%) have that %compare to xtian. Traditional believe is still a big deal in igalaland. As for SW you know the truth. #cheers mandarin: |

proeast: Lagos was already developed even before the existence of Nigeria as a country in 1960 and the FG moved the capital to Lagos because it was already developed and not the other way around. Even Lagos as the federal capital was confined to Lagos Island. Lagos has nothing to do with one Nigeria, politicians and leaders from the SE created one Nigeria and still want one Nigeria. Zik wanted one Nigeria so he teamed up with the North to obtain one Nigeria Aguiyi-Ironsi cemented one Nigeria system with decree 34. We had 3 different regions and regional autonomy before, but your brother from the SE abolished that system and joined us all together as one Nigeria with his decree 34. Many of you are too young and don't know anything about Nigeria or how we arrived at this point, but what you don't like about Nigeria today was created by your leaders from the SE because they created One Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Do I blame the misconception and misperceptions. Nairaland will push all bad news to front page. Expats probably think our population is 50%snakes 50%humans. Yahoo news is the worst and only reports on BH. All these things affect tourism, the way Nigerians are treated abroad and people's perception of the Naija environment. |

Unfortunately, Lagos nor Nigeria has absolutely nothing to offer the West or the world. Is it the wanton corruption? I have not seen light for six hours straight today. I use generators daily to power everything, yet I pay taxes monthly both federal and state, pay bills, obey the laws even though it's a lawless place. Instead of Nigeria teaching the world anything, Nigeria should learn from the world. Even simple town planning rules, we don't follow. Furthermore, the author didn't talk about the IPOB and Biafra secession issue in the east, killings by herdsmen in Kaduna/Benue/Plateau. No doubt, Lagos has some semblance of cohesiveness, but Lagos isn't Nigeria. Lagos is dangerous depending on where you visit. Victoria Island, Lekki, Ikoyi and parts of Ikeja are safe by Nigerian standards but not Mushin (touts aka Agberos hold sway there), Lagos Island, Bariga. The truth is: Nigeria has a long way to go. Considering that she and South Korea were at similar stage of development, it's pathetic. Our case no be here. E don tey. |
