Tinubu should stop answering these people jare... You have the right to pick who represents your interest

1: Sowore is AAC candidate and a Traditional worshiper

2: Obi is in LP and a Roman Catholic

3: Atiku is in PDP and he is a Muslim


.........

Only Ibos and Fulani take Religion in an extreme way

*A Yoruba man has enough Muslims and Christian family
*Kanuris have many Christians in North East same as Muslim
*Many Indegeneous Hausas are Christian and they cohabitate with Muslim around middle belt

How many Yoruba Christian did Peter Obi appoint as a Governor?! How many Yorubas serve under current Ibo Christian Governors, how many Ibo comiunity sells land to Yoruba Christians

He just has head without functioning brain. How can Muslim be 65% in South west. Where are they? Christian has two heavily majorly Christian states like Ondo and Ekiti states, Muslim don't have any Muslim majority state in the south west. Osun, Oyo, Lagos and Ogun can be put at 50:50 until authentic official statistics is generated. Muslim only have dominated towns in states like Oyo and Osun while Christians also have dominated towns in Oyo and Osun.

Ede and Iwo are Muslim majority towns in Osun while ilesha and ife are Christian majority in Osun. Christians are slightly more than Muslim. Only if we include kwara and kogi yorubas, kwara is Muslim dominated even though Christians has up to 30-35%, while kogi (okun) yorubas are majorly Christians like Ekiti. So, he is just been too sentimental and spewing propaganda. He should be ignored

....I am praying for them to keep underestimating the true population and voting strength of yoruba christians ..................2023 General election is gonna be a shocking experience to the whole federation as a whole......


It will be like a frog chilling and relaxing in a pot filled with cold water on Fire

Stop writing thrash. When we see this type of nonsense we know who the purveyors are - Igbo people - and it is always found on Nairaland. Truth is there is no Yoruba Christian or Yoruba Moslem. We are Yoruba.

This division of Yoruba along religious divide was created by the mad hunch backed albino you refer to as your saviour. In reality, there is no extended family in Yoruba land that will not have a mixture of Christians, Moslems and traditionalists.

The last gubernatorial elections in Osun state ought to educate you that Yorubas have risen above primordial religious sentiments. Osun state has a preponderance of Muslim population, yet they voted a Christian - Christian ticket.

Be that it may, the south west will vote massively for Tinubu in 2023, including the good peoples of Oyo and Osun state. It will shock your hatred filled mind.

Whichever way you look at things, Tinubu is your next president. Nobody will join you to vote against their son

@CommonSense1967,

You're absolutely correct!

Islam has been in Yorubaland since over 500 years ago and it came via Mali Empire to the Oyo Empire through long-distance trading.
Iwo in Osun State was the initial epicentre of Islam 500 years ago... Long before Uthman Dan Fodio's Fulah great-grand parents were born. The Kanuris too have practiced Islam for over 1000 years via their contact with the trading routes of the Sahara to North Africa.

A 1950s census result containing religious beliefs of the folks that I read back in the 1990s had Muslims of Yoruba descent being in the majority followed by adherants of the Yoruba religion [Ifa]. In the 1890s census, Eko [Lagos Island] had more adherants of the Yoruba Religion [Ifa] than Muslims who came second, while the Christian groups among the Yorubas and some foreigners were very small. The different religions that are collectively part of Christianity are much more recent in history in Yorubaland. One thing that perhaps also helped
Islam to grow in many places was the acceptance of polygamy which the other foreign religions fro Europe were against

I'm not a Muslim so there is NO bias here. Just someone who agrees with historical FACTS... NOT infantile propaganda!

Cheers!

Loool. They just pull dumb statistics out of their unmentionables. There’s no Southwest state with a near religiously homogeneous grouping like Ondo & Ekiti who are nearly all Christians. Not even Oyo can boast of a 60-40 ratio. So how exactly did he arrive at his conclusion?



Considering ekiti and ondo alone any sound minds won't have given such a lame stats.
Just like the buhari govt came up with 5% marginalization Tinubu govt is already building up another marginalization concept, they kill & kidnap pastors burn churches and as if that is not bad enough they officially tag xtains 35%ters grin we have suffered grin

The foolish war you want to paint between Igbos and Yorubas just cannot work. I don't think any other ethnic group apart from Hausa-Fulani intermarry the way Igbos and Yorubas do.

You will barely hear of Yoruba community in South East or South East having problems with their host or vice versa or do you think there are no Yorubas living and doing business in Igbo land.

Mumu wan make point, e decide to throw Peter Obi name enter.

How many Igbo Christians are serving under Oyetola, Dapo Abiodun or Fayemi.
Also don't you know that there are indigenous Igbo Muslims too.

Shittu should also know there was a time when four out of six South Western governors were Muslim. Fashola, Ajimobi, Aregbesola, Amosun. Christians too didn't beat drums of war.

Also Adeleke is a Muslim, he doesn't recognise him as a Muslim or what?

As a mature older man who is well-travelled and educated, I'm NOT what you have made me out to be.
I will respond to you for educational purposes here and now.

This is the TRUE story of the Yoruba Muslim Revolt in Bahia, Brazil in 1835. The Yorubas were the leaders of that revolt.
Hausa Muslims in Brazil and other West African groups also joined in the revolt. I have known about the Imale Revolt from the books I read since the 1980s.



Malê revolt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal%C3%AA_revolt

The Malê revolt (Portuguese: Revolta dos Malês, pronounced [ʁɛˈvɔwtɐ duz maˈle(j)s], [ʁeˈvɔwtɐ duz mɐˈle(j)s], also known as The Great Revolt and the Ramadan Revolt) was a Muslim slave rebellion that broke out during the regency period in the Empire of Brazil. On a Sunday during Ramadan in January 1835, in the city of Salvador da Bahia, a group of enslaved African Muslims and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, rose up against the government. Muslims were called malê in Bahia at this time, from Yoruba imale that designated a Yoruba Muslim.[1]

Yorubas don't have religious crises or divisions in their land.

Yorubas please don't allow these people to import this religious rubbish to Yoruba land.

I have admired the Yorubas for their relaxed attitudes towards religion. In a Yoruba family do you know that you can find Muslims and Christians and traditional worshippers? I mean one family o! the same mother the same father.

Before Islam or Christianity came, the Yorubas existed.

Yorubas are older than Islam and Christianity
But it's now so clear we v animals like this Shittu expressing Islamic propaganda. The same with MURIC.
Can you imagine the audacity of APC to field Muslim Muslim ticket. This same thing was frowned against in 2015. Tinubu said that's why he didn't run. Now he's doing it. When Christian from southern Nigeria especially Yorubas regency him with votes now, they ll saw its curse of Aole or Yoruba betrayal. But he's working hand in hand with Islamic satanic agenda now MURIC n other fanatics won't talk. Tinubu won't win next election. It's either Atiku or Obi

There are indigenous Muslims in the states of Ondo, Ekiti and even Kogi States. The Fawehinmi family from Ondo City is what?
Monitor lizard worshipers? Well that is a prominent Muslim family. The Patriach of the Fawehinmis was the head of Muslims in Ondo City.

There are many adherants of the Yoruba religion in both states as well but over 90% Christians is far-fetched in the absence of a recent population census. Projections can only be made based on the past censuses of 1963 and 1973 which had religion in it.

I did a deep study back in the early 1990s on the religious history of Yorubaland, so the fact is that from the 1950s census figures indigenous Muslims in Yorubaland have always been in the majority, followed by adherants of the Yoruba religion who were second in that 1950s census.
