Let me help you out, as an activist for northern Christians and minorities.

Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Tararaba, Adamawa, Nasarawa and FCT are clearly Christian majority states.

KADUNA state has more Christian Indigenes (60%), but over the years, so many Muslim immigrants from other state has diluted it and it's now like 50-50.

Gombe, Niger & Kwara states are at least 40% Christian.

Borno, Bauchi & Kebbi states are about 25% Christian.
The southern parts of these states are majority Christian.

Katsina state is about 15% Christian.
About 6 LGAs in the South of Katsina state (Kafur, Malumfashi, Funtua, Bakori, Kankia & Dutsin-Ma) are heavily christian. Most of the rural areas and villages in these LGAs are Christian.

Yobe & Kano states are also indigenously around 15% Christian.
However, Boko Haram seriously displaced Yobe Christians from around Potiskum area and now they may be less than 10% in the state.

For Kano state, so many other Muslim immigrants from other states and Niger republic have seriously reduced this figure.
However, LGAs like Tudunwada, Sumaila, Rogo, Bebeji, Shanono & Doguwa (all in Southern Kano) have hundreds of Christian villages.

In Jigawa & Zamfara, there also exist Christian communities (like full fledged Christian villages) e.g Roni LGA of Jigawa has Christian villages.
However, in both states, the Christian population should be around 5%.

Sokoto is the only state in the North where I doubt it is possible to find entire villages that are originally majority Christian.
in gombe state,the only core Muslim areas are Duku and Nafada.

You people like causing unnecessary troubles with your flawed analysis..so you think a northern Christian identify more with an Igbo Christian because you both practise Christianity? A northern Christian that worships in hausa and even refer to God as Allaah, Ubangidi and so on..? The reason why you people always think the Christian yorubas will align more with a Christian Igbo at the expense of his own brother, sister or even mother who is a Muslim .. No wonder a Muslim Igbo is considered an outcast and rejected even by his own families..
Years after colonization, some of you are still unliberated.. Shame!!

I'm sure you thought the person you quoted is Igbo. grin Igbophobia is a bad thing.

P.S. The person you quoted is a Northern Christian. To let you know, Northern Christians from the recent elections know that their strongest allies are Igbos, not the Bible trumping Yoruba Christians. They will rather align with people who have called out El-Rufai on several occasions rather than follow people who have Adeboye that said El-Rufai is a kind and caring man.

The bold is where you're correct. Igbos and even Christians in the south south are culturally different from Yoruba Christians.

Really? So why can't they elect a Christian Governor is your assertions are true?

The problem with Nasarawa started in OLD PLATEAU STATE!

Plateau Christians wanted to carry the muslim minorities along in everything cos we never knew these people were evil.
Then in old Plateau state, every deputy appointment was meant for Lower Plateau (Nasarawa) people and it was always given to a muslim.
It's not as if Muslims were more in lower Plateau, but just for the sake of carrying everybody along.

So by the time Nasarawa state was created, all the big shots in the state were Muslims! They formed a muslim clique (led by Abdullahi Adamu) and since then vowed that by hook or crook, a Christian will never rule Nasarawa state.
This is an eye opener. Kudos.

The downfall of Christians in Nigeria started when the Caliphate used Gowon as a tool to deceive Northern Christians to fight Igbos.

Imagine the civil war was fought by Igbos & Northern Christians! (The 2 largest Christian groups in the country).
We weakened and destroyed each other and then the muslims came to reap from the spoils.

Christianity as a religion cannot withstand Islam when it comes to political manipulations, cos Islam was created to counter Christianity.

We Christians are never told to do anything politically in the name of our religion, but Islam on the other had is more of a political group/movement masquerading as a religion.
brother God bless you the analysis where have u been ,is been a while
