Kingsempires:
You are wrong mulsim is more than christian in Nigeria

Is it by residence or indigenous people ?

Peterlandil:
My team and I have been working on research for a few months now, which involves calls, on-ground surveys, and discussions with locals from all 36 states and the FCT. The research includes questions on ethnicity, religion, economic status, and political preference. While it is commonly believed in Nigeria that there are more Muslims, the results of the survey suggest otherwise.

Here are the figures we used the latest 2023 population estimates by states to come up with the figures by state.

successmatters:
Zamfara has a good reason to protest insecurity. They will also use northern population to harass Tinubu into giving them more northern appointments.

Ijaw has been settled with Ndi Jack.

kellybently:
So you saying Tinubu have blending plant in Molta?.

I saw a lady in cap watching this same video today

The criminals in Asorock and Apc are sabotaging Dangote refinery to enable them still subsidy money

So she was 13 years while writing jamb

francium001:
Yes, why do you ask?

JuanDeDios:
Wait you don't know that Nasarawa, Kogi and Oyo have more Muslims than Christians?

JuanDeDios:
Wait you don't know that Nasarawa, Kogi and Oyo have more Muslims than Christians?

u lied I live in Nasarawa State for 7 years Christian are more

franchasofficia:
Useless figure from the pit of hell.


Christians are more than Moslems in Nigeria don't let any liar deceive you.

Southeast is homogeneously Christians that make up around 95% of the SE population, with 4.9% traditional worshippers and Atheists, 0.0001% Moslems, and population of Southeast is around 50million plus.

Yoruba is 52% Moslem, 45% Christian, the rest are Ifa worshippers and Atheists. And Yoruba population is around 53million.


Southsouth is predominantly Christians; 80% Christians, 8% Moslems and the rest traditional worshippers, and the population of Southsouth is around 45million.


Middlebelt is predominantly Christians with around 65% Christians, 30% Moslems, and 5% traditional worshippers and Atheists, and Middlebelt population stand around 40million


Northeast is predominantly Moslems with around 78% Moslems, 17% Christians and 5% traditional worshippers, etc, with a total population of around 41million.


Northwest is the most predominantly Moslem region in Nigeria with around 92% Moslems, 5% Christian and 3% other religions and their population stand around 55million.


So how can Christians be 76million in Nigeria?


Whoever produced this fake statistics should be crucified

no North East Christians are 30 to 40 percent Christian s Taraba is a Christians state , yobe adamawa Borno has many Christians too. North west are upto 25 Percent Christians

francium001:
I know that Madagascar even with their population will rank high on this, almost everyone here is a Christian, just few are Moslems

ur in Madagascar

TooMuchStuff:
Nasarawa has less than 35% of its as Muslims population and about 65% of the state are Christians

yes your very correct I have lived in Nasarawa for 7 years , I wonder who told them that Nasarawa is Muslim dominated abi Because is Sule that is ruling

Telltruth123:
Ogun
The indegines of Lagos State, the majority of them are Muslims, that is the fact.
Muslims are more than christians in Nigeria, check from the last presidential election.
Also check from the Senate members.

you mean the rigged election, is as if u have not live in the north before Christians are more in Nigeria

JuanDeDios:
Kogi
Oyo
Osun
Kwara
Kano
Kaduna
Katsina
Jigawa
Bauchi
Sokoto
Kebbi
Zamfara
Niger
Gombe
Bornu
Yobe
Adamawa
Nasarawa
FCT

Remove Fct , Nasarawa, kogi , Oyo from your list, the State you listed have up to 30 to 45 percent Christians , State like Adamawa, Yobe, Borno, Niger, Bauchi, Kaduna,kwara, osun. Is as if you live in the north before walahi

Moventist:
You're wrong! Christians are about 63℅ in Nigeria

Check major cities in Nigeria that are dominated by Christians: Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Jos, and even Kaduna are 55/45 in favor of Muslims. Aside from Kano and Bauchi which major cities are dominated by Muslims? Non
Christians are majority in 22 states and FCT

read ur writing there is mistake

JuanDeDios:
Christians are NOT half of Nigeria's population. There's evidence that Moslems are slightly more than Christians and make up around 50% of the population. Christians make up around 40% while Traditionalists and non-aligned make up the rest.

lies mention state with majority of Muslims in Nigeria , Christians are more in Nigeria

Lies what they are telling me is that Muslims are about 130 Million in Nigeria

goodnessme1:
My own is Yoruba should go and protest in their five Yoruba state.



Anyone among them arrested in Lagos will be deported to Osun State.

five States lol all Ekiti and ogun people are all claiming lagos

We have no law makers , The one in The Senate are evil only think about them self
