I read in an Islamic Education course material that 'over fifty percent of the population of Africa are Muslims; in Nigeria, it is about fifty-five percent.' Fact or Fiction?

They can be 90% for all we care, God's kingdom is not measured by quantity but quality

Doesn't that imply that the harvest is rottening while the labourers laze about? @frosbel

frosbel: They can be 90% for all we care, God's kingdom is not measured by quantity but quality

LOL and the keys to that kingdom are not in Frosbel's hands.

WRONG!!!!!!!

50.8% of Nigeria's population are Christians, 47.8% are Muslims and 1.4% adhere to other religions.

62.7% of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa is Christian.

Out of 6 geopolitical zones, Christians only outnumber Muslims in 2 of the smallest ones. The SouthEast and SouthSouth. Keep making yourself happy.

This may interest you more: as the day of judgement draws nearer, the population of muslims and other religions will increase tremendously. Many christians will fall away from the truth, giving heed to seducing spirits.

Jesus said narrow is the way that leads to heaven and few people are walking there. But broad is the way that leads to Hell, heavilly populated.

Therefore, keep making yourself happy with your population.

Like I told Frosbel, you do not have the keys to paradise,. Besides, the case of Jesus has already been decided. If you like follow bush path.

For your mind.

Bro...you are mixing up religious tolerance with religious tribalism.

We do not care about religion, hence the merger with CPC. That does NOT mean that we are majority muslim. Get your facts right!
Using common sense and life experience I know that we are majority Christian (btw - why do you think the press always says "Muslim North" and "Christian South".

Just for you, I went to Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nigeria.

Also, check out the fifth paragraph here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Nigeria

I have Muslim people in my family, and obviously don't dislike them. I voted for Fashola, and don't care that he is Muslim. That does NOT make me Muslim though. I am Christian.

Believe me nobody knows! Any figures you see online are just estimates. Remember we all thought we had more women, when the last census showed that there are actually more men in Naija than women . The last census didn't ask for religion as well so we have nothing authoritative.

In the long run it's irrelevant. If there are more Muslims than Christians - or vice-versa - it doesn't in any way prove which religion is the truth. Just do what you think is right and be true to your conscience.
