Lalasticlala, is not possible to start removing posts with all these pictures? Are they not constituting some form of distraction? Good reviews. However, I find it funny that a city like Lagos would even be compared to Rio. Rio's crime rates are off the charts. But then, the westerners already have a single story about Africa. To them, nothing good can come outta here. And by the way, was it the last census that revealed that percentage of Muslims and Christians?! First time I'm seeing it. 4 Likes |

Good remarks from bloomberg. It's a pity that both local and international reporters especially the latter gives negative view about the country albeit driving investors from coming into the country. I wish they can visit lagos and some other parts of the country to see how peaceful it is; if not for the boko haram menace, IPOB and NDA agitators which is somehow over hyped. The only flaw I see in the article is the ratio of Islam to Christian in the country. I seriously doubt it. 8 Likes 1 Share |

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 4 Likes 1 Share |

peckhamboi: You just contradicted the whole "tolerance" the writer was inspired by, by singling out and again pointing out your ethnicity. The writer talked about Lagos as a city housing not one kind but all kinds of Nigerians. One would think living in the U.K would make you smarter but oh well. oduastates: Please read a book! It is true that Lagos is a so-called Yoruba land. One can still argue that it's population might be largely made up of people from other ethnicities. Anyho, the whole idea of the piece is that, the west can learn one or two about tolerance from Lagos. Appreciate the piece for what it is and keep your "Yoruba better ethnic" bigotry self about of it. Come at me if you wish! Great piece. Makes me a proud Nigerian. I'll definitely share this piece. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

wristbangle: zicoraads: Emjay1310: 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. 2 Likes |

With 160 million people, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country. Just over 50 percent of the people are Christians, who form the majority in southern Nigeria; Muslims account for another 45 percent of the population, largely living in northern Nigeria. There are 30 million Catholics in the country. In 2012, close to 1,000 Christians died because of their faith in Nigeria, according to reports, and Boka Haram is responsible for the deaths of at least 700 Christians in 2013. |
