many of us are unaware that there are many generations of Christians in the North.
from Sokoto to Borno, many original indigenes were Christians.
long before Independence, schools, hospitals and other institutions were built and run by locals, govt and missionaries.
- hence the large number of Christian girls in FGGC Chibok.
therefore boko haram knew what they were doing during the kidnappings.

so kindly name the LGAs in states that you know of.
further analysis will take place once this list is compiled.

Let me shock you. In Nasarawa state no local government area is muslim owned/dominated. None.

Our neighbor from Mechika in Adamawa state told me last week that in her community there is only one Muslim family.

She told me that her tribe is Hegi not even Hausa.

Very Correct sir

Muslims in Nassarawa state are far less than 30% in all. I keep shouting this for all to know how hausafulanis are doing politics with reckless abandoned in Christians dominated states like Adamawa, Kogi, Kaduna and Nassarawa

Let me help you out, as an activist for northern Christians and minorities.

Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Tararaba, Adamawa, Nasarawa and FCT are clearly Christian majority states.

KADUNA state has more Christian Indigenes (60%), but over the years, so many Muslim immigrants from other state has diluted it and it's now like 50-50.

Gombe, Niger & Kwara states are at least 40% Christian.

Borno, Bauchi & Kebbi states are about 25% Christian.
The southern parts of these states are majority Christian.

Katsina state is about 15% Christian.
About 6 LGAs in the South of Katsina state (Kafur, Malumfashi, Funtua, Bakori, Kankia & Dutsin-Ma) are heavily christian. Most of the rural areas and villages in these LGAs are Christian.

Yobe & Kano states are also indigenously around 15% Christian.
However, Boko Haram seriously displaced Yobe Christians from around Potiskum area and now they may be less than 10% in the state.

For Kano state, so many other Muslim immigrants from other states and Niger republic have seriously reduced this figure.
However, LGAs like Tudunwada, Sumaila, Rogo, Bebeji, Shanono & Doguwa (all in Southern Kano) have hundreds of Christian villages.

In Jigawa & Zamfara, there also exist Christian communities (like full fledged Christian villages) e.g Roni LGA of Jigawa has Christian villages.
However, in both states, the Christian population should be around 5%.

Sokoto is the only state in the North where I doubt it is possible to find entire villages that are originally majority Christian.

Don't believe this. Why is it that Muslim has been ruling the state since if the above is true about nassarawa?

The problem with Nasarawa started in OLD PLATEAU STATE!

Plateau Christians wanted to carry the muslim minorities along in everything cos we never knew these people were evil.
Then in old Plateau state, every deputy appointment was meant for Lower Plateau (Nasarawa) people and it was always given to a muslim.
It's not as if Muslims were more in lower Plateau, but just for the sake of carrying everybody along.

So by the time Nasarawa state was created, all the big shots in the state were Muslims! They formed a muslim clique (led by Abdullahi Adamu) and since then vowed that by hook or crook, a Christian will never rule Nasarawa state.

I've said it here that clearly there are more Christians than muslims in Nigeria but for obvious reasons Christians have no political power to even stand for their rights. It's very saddening.

ayomilore:


Don't believe this. Why is it that Muslim has been ruling the state since if the above is true about nassarawa?

The first governor of Nasarawa state (Abdullahi Adamu) was actively supported by SOLOMON LAR, cos he was Solomon Lar's former deputy governor in old Plateau state and close friend.

Solomon Lar (the old godfather of Plateau state) supported Abdullahi Adamu over his rival SOLOMON EWUGA!
And that was how a Plateau man foolishly stamped in Muslim domination on Nasarawa state.

Immediately Adamu became governor, he swore that over his dead body for a christian to rule Nasarawa state.

And Adamu is an Afo man, go to Afo villages and towns all over Keffi & Nasarawa LGAs, and count the number of Christians & Muslims, Christians clearly outnumber Muslims 70-30!

Apart from the Egbura people in Toto LGA, no other indigenous ethnic group of Nasarawa state is muslim majority among the about 30 ethnic groups that make up Nasarawa state.
The Egburas are not even the majority in Toto LGA, the Bassas who are the majority there are 95% Christian.

So, yes, it is true!
No LGA in Nasarawa state is muslim majority, it doesn't exist, but meanwhile, there are LGAs like Karu, Akwanga, Kokona & Nass Eggon that are up to 90% Christian.

Yujin:
I've said it here that clearly there are more Christians than muslims in Nigeria but for obvious reasons Christians have no political power to even stand for their rights. It's very saddening.

The downfall of Christians in Nigeria started when the Caliphate used Gowon as a tool to deceive Northern Christians to fight Igbos.

Imagine the civil war was fought by Igbos & Northern Christians! (The 2 largest Christian groups in the country).
We weakened and destroyed each other and then the muslims came to reap from the spoils.

Christianity as a religion cannot withstand Islam when it comes to political manipulations, cos Islam was created to counter Christianity.

We Christians are never told to do anything politically in the name of our religion, but Islam on the other had is more of a political group/movement masquerading as a religion.

The Christians in northern region of Nigeria behaved liked slaves and willing tools. A young lady from Jos told me she could not have attended secondary school in Plateau State because she was a Christian. She used her mother's maiden name to gain admission. I asked how could you be in the majority yet told what to do by the Muslims?

It's like Muslims never open this thread
Oooooh, today is Friday, they are still in mosque

Beautiful lie
Which part of Jos?
If she is a Christian then why will she want to go to school in Angwa-Rogo, Bauchi Rd, Eto-Baba and co.?
There are tons of schools she could attend, as a Christian, in Christian areas such as Rukuba Rd, Zaria Rd and other parts of Jos South, etc

I would love to make a correction on the issue of Kwara state as a BONAFIDE Kwara indigene.

I'm a Christian, but saying that the population of Christians in Kwara is up to 40% is not true.

among the Yorubas that occupies 12 local government area and 2 senitorial district (Kwara South and Kwara central ) + 1 local government govt in Kwara North which is Moro local government.

Kwara South has 7 LGAs (predominantly Yoruba)
Kwara central has 4 LGAs(predominantly Yoruba)
Kwara North has 5 LGAs (but Yorubas occupies one of these five LGAs )

7+4+1 = 12 Yoruba LGAs

the only Christian dominated LGAs are Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero (I came from one of these LGAs)
these three LGAs are the smallest in respect to population and Landmass in Kwara state.

Ilorin which is the largest City is 98% Muslim
Offa which is the second largest city is at least 90% Muslim
if you remove these two cities from kwara, then there is nothing left in terms of population.

among the Yorubas of Kwara state, the population of Muslims is 70% while Christians is 30%

now if we add Kwara north(an area which is 90% Muslims, the Nupes and Bariba people), this will reduce the population of Christians in the whole state to 15%-20%)

now to the concluding part which is also the most important part, you called yourself a northern Christian advocate or whatever, I think you should remove Kwara state from your activism or whatever, you don't create a problem where there is none, Kwara is a state of harmony, Kwara is arguably the most peaceful state in Nigeria, so don't come and cause problem here with your activism.

did you even know that Most of the popular pastors in Nigeria started in Ilorin?
from Adeboye to Oyedepo to Fatoyinbo to Sam Adeyemi and his brother and the list goes on.
here is a comprehensive list of Nigerian pastors that started in Kwara state.
https://www.nairaland.com/2584549/most-nigeria-top-pastors-tied

though most of them left for Lagos, Ogun and Abuja for wider audience, only Rhema Chapel still had it's headquarters in Ilorin.

Ilorin is the most lively city In northern political zone and the third in Yorubaland after Lagos and Ibadan.... despite the fact that the city is 99% Muslim (indigenous people), the ratio of church to mosque is like 8:2, you would see 8 churches in Ilorin before you will see 2 mosque.


even the the last 3 first lady were Christians
Toyin Saraki never convert into Islam.
Omolewa Ahmed was even a Deaconess.
the current one two is a Christian (though I don't know much about her)

this is how we roll in Kwara state and Yorubaland at large, we view ourselves as Yoruba and Human being before any foreign Religion

so don't take your activism to kwara, it's good here, unless you want Ogun to kill you.

thank you

Obviously you don't know Jos.
If you are a Christian, you simply can't stay in Angwa-Rogo and Co., you may not even last an hour in those places so, there's no point being there!
But there are large areas occupied by mainly Christians in Jos that you can freely stay as a Christian. So why must you want to kill yourself deliberately by staying where you're not wanted?
If your friend claims to be a Christian from Bauchi then she must be from Bogoro or Tafawa-Balewa, nobody will leave those places and go and stay in Muslim dominated area in Jos, that is simply impossible.

Nice one, I support this post to make front page solely because of this nice piece.. It's worth it..

DZTech:
many of us are unaware that there are many generations of Christians in the North.
from Sokoto to Borno, many original indigenes were Christians.
long before Independence, schools, hospitals and other institutions were built and run by locals, govt and missionaries.
- hence the large number of Christian girls in FGGC Chibok.
therefore boko haram knew what they were doing during the kidnappings.

so kindly name the LGAs in states that you know of.
further analysis will take place once this list is compiled.

Hope you not a jihadist inquiring to go kill them?

The muslims aggresively fight for power, while the Christians are laid back to it. Islam is a very political religion, they believe they must fight and hold onto power by every means at their disposal. Give them an inch and you're gone.

hmmmn
