Who are those suddenly so interested in southwest Nigeria?


Another person was asking what was the reason for creating Osun state.

Are nlers trying to link different parts of Yorubaland to various other African countries?

The Muslim population in South west , let me correct that impression today is 76.8% against Christian's against 19.9% population.

Traditionalist there is just 3.3 percent or thereabouts.


Now basically Osun is a full Muslims state with nearly 92% Percent Muslim population if not 96 by statistical survey...How many churches are in Osun state?...few

Now Ogun state would have been a total Muslims state if not for her Lagos proximity , more reason the Muslim there are defiant to lock down..


[b]Oyo Should be pegged at 70 percent Muslim population though still contestable that Christian population there is not up to 26 Percent..



Ondo was devoted to God even before the British arrived. The only Christian state with Aketi leading the fate. Most of their Indigenes are religiously ok and I pray they make heaven at last.


Ekiti is another body of Christ but it seems today that the light Christ dropped for them is leaving the state.


Lagos is where the remaining low percentage of so called Christians from osun, Ogun and Oyo now congregate to cause problem and destroy Christianity.

op you r wrong. Christians cannot be 45% while Moslems r 40%.How did you arrive at those statistics? It is Christans 39.87% , Moslems 46 13%, while others share the remaining figures.Watch out the number of people that celebrate Christans festivals and the ones that celebrate Moslem festivals.You can even touch and feel the difference sir.

When I saw the moniker of OP, knew he is on another mischievous mission to deceive. For you info the only muslim gov of Osun was rigged into office by Buhari ''remote control'' as confessed by Buhari himself

So Based on all your assumptions that the religion of the gov reflect the population of his religion.....

SW is 18% muslims and 80% Christians and 2% ATR

@OP

The South West people don’t have a religious demarcation and it will be hard for the best statistician in the world to give an accurate figure of our religious demographics.

We are all one indivisible Omoluabi.

Even if you take a hundred years of core research, you won’t still get the accurate figure. Just abort mission ASAP!

Even, I as a Christian many years ago, I do consult these Alfas and some herbalist when boy dey in street we go collect soap/powder wey I go dey use to talk to girls.
By put it on my face or washing my head.

Can you now count me as a Christian then?

Lol, can you now see why I tell you it's difficult to know...

Your figures are so high.
Your figures isn't possible..

Lemme explain..
In Ondo city (my town), we have about 70 - 75% Christians, traditional maybe 20%

Mind you, In my town we have about 25 traditional festivals in a year. Which Christians, Muslims and traditional alike do partake.

I ask you will you count those that partake to be Christians?
Even our Oba is a Christian and he do lots of religious stuff..

The same stuff I said above applied to every town in SW.
Be it Christians dominated town or not..

Below is the list of our traditional festivals
