Nigeria's Most Catholic States. by Aksonman: 12:26pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
Today, we are exploring Nigerian top 10 states with the largest concentration of Catholics. My own observations, in this order: 1. Anambra 2. Lagos 3. Imo 4. Rivers 5. Delta 6. Ondo 7. Benue 8. Nassarawa 9. Edo 10. Abia General observations: -Igbos are the largest followers of Catholicism in Nigeria. - Yoruba Catholics tend to be indigenes of Lagos & Ondo states. Also,majority of Yoruba protestants have Catholic, Anglican or Baptist heritage. - Most Northern Catholics tend to be indigenes of Benue and Nassarawa states. Other Northern Christians tend to be alligned with ECWA. - Most Nigerian Catholics are dual members of both Catholic & Penecostal churches, depending on the magnitude of their sudden life challenges. Your thoughts. 1 Like |

The question should be which southeast (or southsouth) state is the most catholic. Nlers like making up imaginary lists based on faulty, biased and incomplete observations. Thread will soon appear on front page I'm sure. 2 Likes |

IbrahimMav:Get ur stat well dear. Nassarawa is 60 to 65% christians. The muslims in nassarawa are discriminated upon by their fellow muslims outside nassarawa. Reason is they r weak muslims. My colleague from nassarawa feels bad when after prayer, fellow collegues from d office and other offices around don't like to go into deep discussions with him. One actually told him face to face"r u a muslim?" |
Re: Nigeria's Most Catholic States. by IbrahimMav: 2:23pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
tandj: Lies perpetrated by christians. you are a Christian ain't you? no offense but coming from you, your claim holds no water. I will believe it when a native of nassarawa says the same. till then May the light of Allah shine on you and clear your mind to know the true path. Allah knows best. |

IbrahimMav:I don't do emotional argument. Next time, get ur starts well pls or u ask around. I just corrected an error. Prove me wrong if u can. Has nothing to do with being christian or muslim. Thank u. |
