Oga Muslim are not up to 5%. I have never seen Akure, idanre, ikale, owo, ondo, okitipupu indigenous that are Muslim. I am from Akure, it will be hard to see Akure indigen being a Muslim.

Oga, I'm from Ikare Akoko so I know these areas very well

For me
Lagos - Yoruba christains - 60% Muslims 40%
Ogun - Yoruba Christains - 65% Muslim’s - 35%
Oyo - Yoruba Christains - 45% Muslim’s - 55%
Osun - Christains - 40% Muslims-60%
Ekiti - Christains -80% Muslim’s - 20%
Ondo - Christains -90% Muslim’s -10%
Kwara - Christains -25% Muslim’s - 75%
Kogi Yorubas - Christains - 80% Muslim’s - 20%

Overall christains - 52% Muslim’s -38% traditional -10%
You are wrong about Ekiti, in fact, ondo has Muslim more than Ekiti.

Let me ask, Did you go to a University in the Southwest? Not Ilorin

In your class among the Yorubas what was the majority of the class?

In my graduating class we had about 48 students and like 33 were Christians

Be since and tell.me about yours

I am from Ibadan and I schooled at FUTA.

The best graduating student in my department was a Muslim. His surname is Alabere for anyone that is a FUTARIAN, infact he is the first person to have a first class in Applied Geology in FUTA history. Ask from any FUTA Applied Geology student to confirm!

I couln't recall how much number of Muslim or christain we had in my department. But I am sure out of the 10 top best students, there are like 4 or 5 muslims among us.

Truly collectively in my class, christains are more than Muslims if we are to count them but I am sure it won't exceed 60/40.

However, Your argument is flawed, coz it does not make sense to utilize number of graduates in a school alone to infer your premises. The sample size is damn too small. In another school there may be more Muslim than Christian in a department and vice versa.

Again bro, you need not be doing this coz if you proceed now to check the name of best graduating students across every university in the SW, you will see that it features both Muslims and Christains alike.

Naturally, Christians will be much in Futa cos of Ondo State.

And naturally Muslims will be much in Unilorin cos of Kwara state.

Because you’ve not seen doesn’t imply they don’t exist.

Back then in school, the man that owned the mosque we always pray at is an Akure indigene. There are also some of my friend from Akure that are Muslims.

There are also numerous mosque around Akure where you will see indigenes that are Muslims. So I don’t know where you got your info about not seeing Muslim indigenes in Akure.

Truly, the Christian population is more than the Muslims in Akure.

This will be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. You mean Muslims of Yoruba origin are not educated like the Christians and they don’t proceed to higher institutions in their entirety??

What kind is statement is this? You should modify this post coz it’s baseless bro. In all institute of learning, we have both Muslims and Christians leading classes and excelling in their professions and it will be absurd for anyone to think otherwise.

Some Muslims are even always profiled to be too brilliant that some always attribute it to them drinking hontu.

This argument on this thread is baseless. How will you categorize Yorubas into Muslims/Christians/traditionalist when people frequent those other religious institution and intermarry?

You are right about Muslims converting to Christian and that is due to the fact that churches do a lot of miracles and crusades such that people always go to churches for their problem to be solved. Thats why women form the bulks of the converts.

My mom was a Muslim before, she switched to Christianity. Dad is still a Muslim, my brother are Muslim and Christian anytime they like and I personally identify as a Muslim.

Now brother how will I categorize my religion based on my family analogy?

To an extent he is actually right. Christian yoruba are generally more educated than muslims(though in recent years Muslims are now going to school as well). If not so, why is it that thugs all over Yorubaland are mostly Muslims? Nurtw members and other agberos nko, are they not mostly Muslims? For a Christina thug there exist 10 Muslims.

Real Muslims in Yoruba land are not up to 10%. Many have Muslim names but are not Muslims. Yorubas are enlightened people. Enlightenment and Islam does not mix. You must be extremely dumb to be a Muslim. Many of my friends are Muslims by name but we all know they give no fvck about Islam.

You spoiled your beautiful submission with the bolded.....its a free world with hundreds of religion.....christianity is just one of them. Some Christians like you are just intolerant but shout loudest while accusing other of intolerance

How can you say thugs/agberos/nurtw are mostly Muslims ??
That can only be so in a Muslim dominated areas.

In a Christian dominated areas, thugs/agberos/nurtw will be christians in a Christian dominated areas

sammy07 and osaze007

you also have to factor in that in Yorubaland many people cant be categorized as Xtians or Moslems because of intermarriages and they openly worship in both places

Tinubu is a Moslem his wife is a Xtian, what do you think the children are? Don't be surprised if the children are both. They go to church and go to mosque. Tinubu himself probably can recite bible and his wife recite koran. Same thing with Saraki, Ajimobi, fashola etc.

I know many people when its time for church they go, when its time for mosque they go

If an average Yoruba person has a small problem he will visit Alfa, Pastors and even Babalawo
Menh.... This is yoruba in picture !!!

Are you a yoruba or you are close to them ?

This your analysis is a top notch !!!

OK. Mc Oulluomo, Fele, Hamburger, Esi oluwo, Tokyo, Eleweomo, Auxiliary, Saka Saula, Kunle Polo, Tafa Sego, Alado baba bili, koko zaria, etc. There are several others of their thugs who are mostly Muslims. Just accept the fact, I personally know not a few Muslim classmates of mine who dropped outta school after secondary school. Go to major motor parks if majority of those who work there aren't Muslims with little or no education. I ain't a bigot, just a challenge to Muslims amongst yorubas, they need to do more and also reduce their birthrate, they give birth too much and this is a remote cause of this attitude of many of them turning to agberos. My 2 cents.
