this Igbo girl again? no go kill yourself untimely o



but is religion issue the solution to Nigeria development now? and this man is a professor like what nonsense? who dashed this lunatic professor?


as far as I'm concern, how can Muslims dominated west and Christians eventually had 5 governors out of the five state


Ondo Christians are 80% Muslims 20%

Ekiti 90% Muslims 10%

osun Christians are 55% Muslims 45%

Oyo Christians are 52% Muslims 48%

Ogun Christian 35% traditional 40% Muslims 25%

Lagos Christian is 60% Muslim 40%


so how does Muslims dominated Christians. it is on record that many Muslims are converting to Christians on daily basis. my 5 Muslim friends converted to Christian last year

truefact:
The islamists are coming out slowly and steadily... And once the SW is taken over, Nigeria is gone

BeansAndBread:
Go to the survey section, what you quoted here was explained better.

Rotimi47:
The survey section is of 2001 and it's talking about religion distribution in Nigeria as a whole; it simply relates it the the 2001 data to that of 2015 that put the Christian population as higher than that of Muslims.

Recheck as the data speak for itself.

The South West have more Christians than Muslims but if you talk about Abeokuta, ijebu, iwo and ede; you might be right but outside that, NA.

Rotimi47:
More Muslim than Christian is a big lie.

I am a Yoruba who have been all over the South West not to talk of outside the South West or Outside the country.

You people only have a say because Christians shy away from politics because of religious beliefs while you people see politics as a means to have control over how things are done.

Kindly mention towns, villages/states in the South West that have more Muslims than Christians apart from Sarki, ede, ijebu or Abekuta?

Let just use both festive periods as example;

Compare both religion festive periods and also worship days/number of worship houses in the South West.

Furthermore, the Bible was is translated to Yoruba decade ago and this made it easy for Yorubas to really know the content of the Bible and Christianity is very peaceful.

The above makes Christianity more acceptable to lots of people and the Population is increasing by the day in the South West and several other parts outside the South West.

On Ajimobi, go and checkout those employed during his 8 years in power and you will find out that at least 90% are Muslims and please mention the majority Muslim villages and towns in Oyo State and South West apart from the ones I have mentioned.

Inconclusion; Please note that due to time factor I may not be able to go real deep for now but do note that I await your response at the earliest.

Yorubaland is gone not Nigeria.. Islam will never smell SE/SS

Lol, normally I don't like arguing online, because I may not follow up to reply again. But the truth is closer to what BreadandBeans have been saying concerning the religion population in SW. Most towns with Oyo dialect, and closely related ones like Igbomina, Bolo etc. have higher number of Muslims than Christians, while other dialects have more of Christians than Muslims, major examples in Osun, places like Oshogbo, Ede, Ejigbo, Iwo, tends to have higher number of Muslims, while places like Ile-Ife, Ilesha, tends to have higher number of Christians. However, since Oyo dialect dominate Osun, Muslims tends to be higher. Same in Oyo state, with maybe exception of Ogbomoso (which I even doubt), most original family houses in Ibadan are Muslims, though you will find more churches than mosques in the city. Ondo, Ekiti, are not Oyo dialect speakers, hence more Christians than Muslims, Ogun tends to be influenced by southern Ibadan, plus they're not originally at war with Oyo dialect speakers back in the days, unlike Ijesha/Ekiti parapo. while Lagos has more Muslims among people of Oyo dialect speaking origin, than others. The Christian part of the Ogun were influence by the early missionaries from the White, while the Oyo dialect speakers were influenced by the West African missionaries from the past like people from Mali, Senegal, Gambia, etc. The Ijesha/Ekiti might probably chose Christianity due to their differences with the Oyo dialect speakers, of which might have influenced the Ondos and Ife.
Not to digress too much, yes Yoruba might not be one when it comes to religion, but Yorubas are one when it comes to sociopolitical issues, and when it comes to spirituality, Yoruba will leave nonsense religion behind and embrace traditionalism

ChristianNorth:

Who make them majority?

Remove Northerners from SW and yoruba moslems are just few. There are more Northerners in SW than SE/SS.

Those guys have taken over Iwo which has the largest concentration of moslems in the SW.

70% of Okada riders in Lagos are Northerners and all those guys are moslems. Today is Friday, go to any Central mosque, you will see more hausas there than Yorubas, even in Lekki.

I was surprised when I went to Lekki one Friday and saw an army of them trooping out from one the central mosques.

Bosun13:
...go ask for thr real name..na rasaki suraju full church o..... Anytime they ask them to do census all of they go claim thr papa religion o....no say i no tell u o

BeansAndBread:
The fact that you people keep denying this everyday shows that you're lying, it pains me we don't have Igbo Muslims on nairaland if not they would have cleared your doubt.

ChristianNorth:

Na their tactics be that, using Okada to invade the South and give them a year they will start bringing their wives and what makes a Northern to bring his wives to the South is really serious.

Believe me in 8 years times, Northerners will be running for Governor of Lagos. All an Igbo man needs to rule Lagos is to present a VP ticket to Saraki Hausawa in Lagos and mobilize those Northerners in Lagos.

Barbilius:
At the end of the whole thing Muslims are still the worse off in by SW. Take a look at all agberos, weed smokers, secondary school drop out, slum dwellers, Okada riders, 80% of them are Muslims... Very backward folks... I avoid the ones that are even my family members like plague. Go school dem no go go. Nonsense.

Rotimi47:
Lol, Why bring Oyo dialect something like this? I am Yoruba and know a lot about things that have to do with Yoruba.

The way Yoruba is spoken change from one village to another as well as from one town to another. Our spoken Yoruba differ from each other and as such you can say they speak Oyo. Because it similar don't make it the same.

Are you saying you have more Muslims in iseyin, Esa-oke, Modakeke, ijebu-ijesha, komu just to mention a few.

Furthermore, several ibadan indigenous people have converted to Christianity and I have many of them as friends. Some are even above 80 while some in their 40s.

I am a Lagosian by all respect/aspect and I ain't a Muslim but my Surname sound like a core Muslim name but I don't have a single Muslim in my family except for relatives who are very few.(Extended ones)

We Yorubas have always been one but Muric and other fanatics are working to put a divide amongst Yorubas.

Aregbesola also did more harm to Osun by trying to bring religion into politics and that almost overshadowed his programmes.

Let me say that, facts are there for all to see and it is not hidden. The major avenue that made the Muslims popular in the South West before now was politics and the Chritians are now going into politics as against when they see Nigerian politics/politicians as association of the occults or for the occults.

Let me ask you a simply question; why do you think they failed to include region distribution in census results? Go and find out and get back to me with the full truth.

Inconclusion, all the physical and every other signs and facts shows that we simply have more Christians than Muslims.

Thonee:
Meanwhile the hausas/ fulanis and the entire arap still see Yoruba Muslims as fake, an hausa Muslim can't still worship in a mosque led by a Yoruba Muslim cos they see them as fake

Cyynthia:
Yoruba Muslims should be very careful.
The silence of some of us Christian Yorubas is not an act of cowardice.

What ever Yoruba Muslims want this time around we are going to give it to them fire for fire. The animal even said that Yoruba Muslims are majority in SW.. who dash monkey Banana ?
That you are loud and good at making unnecessary noise doesn't mean that you are majority .As they say..... empty vessels make the most noise.

Yoruba Christians, it's time for us to wake up and give Yoruba Muslims their own dosage. The islamisation of SW has swung into full gear. This can't happen under my nose. Yoruba Muslims dont and never meant well for us.
Whenever you hear that useless and deceptive slogan "Yoruba is Yoruba " by Yoruba Muslims,, check the situation on ground, Muslims are dominating at that point, but Yoruba muslims won't allow non Muslims to have a say.

If Yoruba Muslims are not hell bent in islamising SW with the help of the caliphate, why is it that Yoruba Christians are not recruited in government jobs ? . If a recruitment is done , 7 out of people recruited will be Muslims
Why do Muslims have where they worship all over the Local governments in Lagos but Christians don't have any ?, yet these people will keep playing the victim card in some cases just to keep deceiving the gullible.. It's still part and parcel of taquia..

Yoruba Christian wake up and face your enemy eye ball to eye ball. If we keep quiet and allow this rubbish to continue, the insurgency in the NE will be a child's play to compare with what might befall SW in future. The radicalism is getting out of hand.

My mention is accessible for Yoruba Muslims to wail as usual . They hate when I am saying the truth especially in the public.. Very hopeless people.

BeansAndBread:
You're yet to show us those signs and facts that point to your notion. No one is saying Yorubas are 100% Muslims! but Muslims are the majority. My family are mostly Muslims just like you but Christians are extreme extended, it's normal. The people who began to divvied Yorubas were the likes of Oyedepo and Pentecostal churches. Oyedepo made many people dislike Christianity in Igbominaland and this wasn't the case before. Muslims are now serious unlike before, these are facts you're denying

DerideGull:


This is arrant nonsense. Which Igbo girl are you on about? These percentiles do not show if they were exclusively Yari.ba.

Rotimi47:
Yorubas are not divided as you're trying to imply.

Yorubas have always been one and will continue to be one.

Pastor Oyedepo was born into a Muslim family but he converted to Christianity and there are several people like that but he never hated Muslims as I only see him speak against fulani killing.

As per religion with the highest population in Yorubaland; Christianity top the list.

It's not an hidding thing; Just move from one village or town to another to checkout facts.

For every village or town with higher Muslim population you have 3 or more with higher Christian population.

Ejimagifty:
Why is MURIC not fighting on behalf of Igbo Muslims in the east and the SS Muslims in the Niger delta? The last time i checked, igbo Muslims are marginalized and persecuted by igbo Christians. If MURIC is sincere about representing the interests of Muslims, he should focus on igbo land where they hate Islam the most. Islam needs to grow to 50% in the SS/SE in 5 years time to address the issue of marginalisation of Muslims there.

Rotimi47:
Yorubas are not divided as you're trying to imply.

Yorubas have always been one and will continue to be one.

As per Pastor Oyedepo, do you know that he was born into a Muslim family but he converted to Christianity?There are several people like that but Pastor Oyedrpo never hated Muslims but only speak out against fulani killing. I am not a member of his Church but what I stayed is based on what I read and what is posted on YouTube.

As per religion with the highest population in Yorubaland; Christianity top the list and the facts are very visible to the eyes to see. It's not an hidding thing; Just move from one village or town to another to checkout facts, visit Schools, markets, checkout workplace, religion places, hospitals etc.

For every village or town with higher Muslim population you have 2 or more with higher Christian population.

Inconclusion, just step outside your box/ comfort zone or what you have been made to believe and do your own findings and the reality will blow your mind..

Stay blessed.
in my opinion
EKITI CHRISTIAN MAJORITY
ONDO CHRISTIAN MAJORITY
OGUN EVEN
OSUN MUSLIM SLIGHT MAJORITY
OYO EVEN
LAGOS EVEN
KWARA MUSLIM VAST MAJORITY
KOGI(YORUBA PARTS) CHRISTIAN SLIGHT MAJORITY
