@lagos shia

Who told u d southwest is majority christian? U r seriously dreaming.even in regions were muslims r in d majority we still have 20-30 percent xtian population whereas in christian dominated regions u hardly find up 2 5 percent muslim population

godspeed:

lagoshia who told u that the north central are predominantly muslims?they are xtians.from taraba to adamawa,plateau to benue and gombe.these have sizable number of xtians

LagosShia: i know for sure that Nigeria does not have up to 50% christians in its population.

understanding the demographical make up of the six geo-political zones will make you see that.one thing that is good with this report,is that the confession comes from the horse's mouth that Nigeria does not have a clear-cut christian majority as some blind and fanatical christians believe.

let us examine the geo-political zones:

South-west- Mixed

South-East-Christian Majority


South-South-Christian Majority

North-West-Muslim Majority

North-East-Muslim Majority




North-Central-Muslim Majority

out of six regions only two have a christian majority population in general.and those two happen to be the smallest regions.three regions are majority muslim.and the south-west is mixed and many including the yoruba indigenes of the south-west will confidently contend and reveal that the muslims in the south-west are more than their christian counterparts.

the only thing christians have more than muslims are places of worship.figuratively there are more churches than christians for instance as the case is in Lagos Muslims on Fridays are forced to pray outside the mosques and spread our mats on the streets to pray because of lack of space.you can see that for yourself on a friday afternoon jum'ah service in Agege or Lagos Island.

In your dream.

You'll be amazed the number of Satanists in those states.

dabrake: Preferably, Nigeria has the highest number of church goers in Africa. Do they exhibit the Christlike attitude amongst them?

mandarin:

My contest is not about what Christianity or Islam is in terms of faith or whether citizens are ,born again or not but your assertion as stated above.
Permit me as someone who ,knows Nigeria a little bit to dispute your clarifications on Geo political zones and religion prominence. The only Muslim dominated regions in Nigeria are Northwest and Northeast.In ,the Middle Belt it is not so :
Niger - more Muslims than Christians
Nasarawa - Mixed
Benue - christian dominated
Taraba - more Christians than Muslims
Adamawa - mixed(more christian and atheists PAGANS)
Plateau - christian dominated
In the southwest it will be a honest confession that this region has the highest number of christian converts in Nigeria and the base of evangelical ,movements its a much christian majority zone but the culture above religion of the people relegate religion to a second level.
In the Northwest, there are still christian population in all the states and a place like southern Kaduna is christian dominated. I know christian indigents of Kano and had relationship with a few of them at a time.
The Northeast has more Christians than the northwest. Southern Bauchi, Gombe,are shining examples while Borno state has high percentage of Christians especially in southern Borno. I presently work with a Borno state man and i ,know quite a number of them.
All the noise making about Muslim majority in Nigeria are mere politics of population and religious superiority contest. While I would not want to dwell on areas of sincerity in faith I will be open to a contrary opinions on these.
Mind you, the Nigeria population figures are ruse meant to achieve political dominance of the north in resource sharing formula and i can bet it that if satellites aided computers are used in head count the outcome will stun you. Yoruba is the largest single ethnic group in Nigeria and Igbo is second largest ethnic group followed by Hausa(group not speakers or Muslims) and may be Fulani if all are to be treated separately.
Nigeria can never be sincere about this and any such result will be discarded as not reflecting growth on previous dubious data.
