Agnostics really. . . since they do what the want to do anyway with their hearts. . . then try to deceive the world WITH THEIR BLASPHEMOUS TONGUES that they are either Christians or Muslims.

Jean Macqou: Well, What Religion?

None/ Muskim? Christian/ Jew/ Voodoo


majority of those in the north are muslims, with a few christians and fewer still voodoo/traditional worshippers

majority of those in the east are christians, with few muslims and trados

the west consists of an almost equal balance of muslims, christians and trado worshipers

They have no faith is what he is trying to tell you. You scratch my back, i scratch yours is what most Nigerians' approach to religion is. They go to religion because of the material stuffs they can get from it and also as a safety net for the afterlife/the unknown.

It is like going to a casino to make money. Funk Yahweh and Jesus and Allah and Mohammed if Nigerians can't get money or success of any kind from them. Get what i mean?

@Poster, NO RELIGION can save you or get you to heaven, ONLY JESUS CHRIST can, he is the ONLY WAY.
But to answer your question, i would say muslims coz the majority of the hausa tribe that occupy a very great percentage of the northern part of Nigeria which also contains a larger part of the country in land area, happen to be muslims.

technically we Traditionals are the highest, because apart from the 100% Traditionalists/Pagans, many muslim and christian are also part-time traditionalists.

Outside, Nigeria is known for two things.
1. Traditional religion.
2. Football (when Nigeria participates in a World Cup).

[b]yeah majority of Nigerians are VOODOO really that is their foundation b4 Islam and Christianity was introduce to them & today i still consider them as VOODOO people; you know dogs that is use to eating sheet will eat it no matter the kind of delicious dog meal you give it. They claim to be Christians/Muslims but they still practice their VOODOO saying give what belong to Cesar to Cesar & what belong to God to God.check some of their secrete life they still bath in human blood kill for rituals for good luck, for wealth, for success and for power. In terms of religion when you are dealing with a Nigerian don't close your 2 eyes b/cos he could just put a VOODOO put on ur head and use you for rituals. also you can find real Christians/Muslims among them but out of 100% self proclaim Christians/Muslims in Nigeria only maybe 1/2 % are true worshipers all d rest 99 n half% are pretenders. How do i know i have spend 26 years of my life as a Nigerian and am telling you from personal experience. believe me no exaggeration [/b]

dude you really don't want to end up disappointed do you? i better tell you the hard core truth now; the only route to eternal life is Jesus Christ he was the lamp slaughter for the atonement of sins the only means by which God could forgive your wrong doings and accept you to eternal life is Jesus all other means/name are sinking sound all other roads are roads to eternal damnation's.

this is getting good. and what Islam thought you is to kill souls and send them to hell? Islam thought you to kill people of other religion? that if you do you will go to paradise. well you have been deceive you do not have the right to take your own life neither are you allow to take another person's life if you do you end up in hell period. your faith will disappoint you someday but ear now and listen, verify and carry out research on what you are doing is it really the will of Allah for you to kill another soul because he does not believe in him? and do you think if God want to carry out punishment on non believers in him you are qualify to do so? do you really think so? because you have never sin? a lot will be disappoint when their earthly pilgrimage is over.

I couldn't stop shaking my head for your ignorance, according to you 'jesus (p b u h) was the lamp slaughtered' is that not irritating does that mean christianity is all about 'SACRIFICIAL LAMP'. YOU NEED NOT PREACH CHRISTINITY TO ME. I HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST(p b u h ) ,LOVE AND CHERISH HIM (ON THE AUTHORITY OF MUHAMMED ALONE) AS ONE OF THE MIGHTEST PROPHET OF ALLAH. Don't you ponder about 'P B U H','peace and blessing of Allah be upon him.How untruthful you are to yourself you love him(IRONY) yet you are happy that he was sacrificed for you sins.what a pity 'WE BELIEVE IN ALLAH,AND THE REVELATION GIVEN TO US,AND TO ABRAHAM, ISMAIL, ISAAC, JACOB, AND THE TRIBES, AND THAT GIVEN TO MOSES AND JESUS AND THAT GIVEN TO ALL PROPHET FROM THEIR LORDS.WE MAKE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER OF THEM AND WE SUBMIT TO ALLAH'. Quran 2:136.

Should have expected an idiot would try to shove their beliefs on people's faces in this thread. I think you might be a troll because you write like THIS.
Stop using all caps. Besides Islam is bad for people it causes a lot of suffering, sexual frustration, and even genital mutilation.

First of all, we were not saying anything bad or negative against Islam at first. But now, you just started a conflict.

In Iraq, a Muslim girl burned to death inside a school building before. Her dad wouldn't rescue her because she was not wearing her head scarf. What evil!
Muslims kill and slaughter Jews, Christians, Hindus and other religions. Their Jihad is forceful. Muslim Arabs kill black Africans in places like Darfur. Muslims like to conquer other people and force them to worship Allah, and Allah is a deceitful god.

Islamic men are more likely to commit suicide, and terrorists attacks because they have less sex. http://www.city-journal.org/html/15_4_suicide_bombers.html

Islam cause high population growth, so you get over population, and over population causes poverty. People have more kids than what they can take care of.

Conclusion

No Islam = Happier People
