Legendhero, how come I am no longer seeing you on Nairaland? . You vanished abi?

Come and carry your harvest. It is ripe.

You Yorubas have not seen anything yet oo. Your case may actually be worse than Plateau own if care is not taken, cos you have large thick Guinea Savannah forest reserves all over your region, which is very good for hiding and camouflaging.

Unlike Plateau which is a Sudan Savannah and one can see miles away through the forests and it is not good for hiding. Hence, the fulanis in Plateau have decided to settle on the mountains. As that's the only place they can camouflage.

Legendhero, how market? Shebi yorubaland is now becoming like Southern Kaduna?
To imagine that Yoruba is a majority ethnic group and is situated far south, yet being dealt with like this.

In this life, what goes around comes around.
When my people were facing the fire, Yorubas were shouting on their voices supporting El-rufai and the APC gang.
This is why in this life and in the next to come, I will prefer Igbo ten times over Yorubas.

Nonsense!

Please house. Now that NASU is on strike. Do we still have any hopes of the verification of our transcript from our universities? (UNIBEN to be specific).

Sekani25:
Please does anyone know how to go about sending transcripts electronically from Uniben to WES since they no longer use ETX? I'd appreciate a response. Thanks

WES received my transcript from Uniben last month. I don't think they do electronic sending anymore. It has to be through courier.

Any, now that NASU is on strike, do you think it would still be possible?

My own issue now is verification of my transcript.

Jaynerth:
Non academic staffs are on strike presently, so no show till they call off the strike.

For example, I need UNIBEN to send verification to WES right now, in order for my process to be completed.

Does this mean that absolutely nothing can be done about it and we will be completely stuck until NASU calls of strike, even if it takes 1 year?

Pls, anyone else in the same situation here in this house?

Hello Nowenuse!

I think that delay is covid related and maybe some admin problems. But yes, Lagos is generally the fastest...closely followed by PH.

Before Covid, it was 4 - 6 weeks (a few were 3 weeks). During Covid, the TEF for September 27 2020 was out in 3 weeks (Oct 16) in Lagos.

As for mock exams, use TEF blancs on YouTube, prepmyfuture and the official exam samples from CCIP.

I think Lagos does a 4 week prep...not sure about mock exams.

Thank you very much. I think I will write mine in Lagos.

You won't believe that I paid 20k for access to PrepMyFuture but I do not enjoy using the app at all. I think I need something very much physical.

PMF cannot access and grade your essays or speaking sessions. It is only good for Compréhension orale and écrite.

Pls do you happen to know any TEF examiner in Lagos who can offer Intensive preparations and mock exam tests?
I really cannot afford to sit for the exams without being sure I can get a CLB7 in all four compétences.

Hello, Pls you seem to have a lot of experience as regards this exam. Pls help me out.

I was supposed to write this exam in Jos last year December, but I didn't want to waste my money since I was still at B1 level. Now I am at B2 level in all compétence skills, tho am still shaky and not so sure where I fall.
The exams they took in Jos since Dec 11th last year, the results are still not out (7 weeks + later), hence I am now scared to register for the exam in Jos.

Pls do u know if it is the same situation in Lagos? Have u taken the exam? How long do you think it takes for the results to come outside normally?

Also, are you aware if they do mock exams in Lagos? Cos I really need to test my abilities to make sure I can get a high B2 or if possible C1 in all skills b4 writing the exam.
Thanks.

any other thing aside the above is nonsense, unless we want to deceive ourselves.
Cc
Nowenuse , do you agree?(sentiment aside)

After PH is immediately KADUNA.
KADUNA beats Kano hands down in development, beauty and plan.

50% of KADUNA city is very very well planned and organized, unlike Kano where only 20% is planned and the rest of the city is a massive slum.
The last time I toured round KADUNA, gosh! There are neighbourhoods in Kaduna that can compare neighbourhoods in Abuja municipal.

Na small thing PH go take beat Kaduna.
Ibadan also cannot beat Kaduna abeg.

If you think am joking, use Google maps to take a good look of all neighbourhoods in Kaduna. A good number of them are well planned.

DasaintHope:
You strike me as a Northern Christian, with a vast knowledge of the Northern Region. I also happen to be a Christian from southern Kaduna. You right man, Hausa's immigrating from Kano and Jigawa to dilute our population. sadly this peeps cheat us based on qouta system. Even in the Military, I have been denied certain appointments and postings due to me being from SK

Thank you brother.
We thank God for the discovery of the internet.

Over decades, we have been lied to, deceived and manipulated by the Caliphate. But believe, me, all these is soon coming to an end.

I hope to launch a very detailed and comprehensive book next year on the true demography of Northern Nigeria (especially of our Middlebelt or minorities region).

Can you imagine the shock I received early this year when I discovered that majority of the Indigenous tribes of even Bauchi state are Christian majority?

Most Plateau people for example have been wired to think that Bauchi is a Muslim land, not knowing that this is very very false and untrue.

Bauchi people are exactly like Plateau people, the only difference is that most of them have been silence & subjugated almost beyond redemption.

Not until Sayawa people of Tafawa Balewa expelled Hausa' fulanis from Tafawa Balewa town in 2011, that was when some of us started to have a clue that we have been lied to all these years.
Not until recently, I never knew that even up to Warji LGA in Bauchi central (sharing boundary with Jigawa state), that majority of the Indigenous people there are Christians!

Or is it KADUNA state, that all these years, they lied to us that KADUNA north & Zaria is 100% Muslims? Only to discover that Hausa' Christians make up to 50% of Ikara LGA?!

aumeehn:
madam she is lying! There are 1000s of Muslims from Higgi tribe, besides Adamwa is muslim dominated, because it is only the Fulanis that practice a single Religion while all the tribes are devised into Islam and Christianity.

Oga, Higgi (Michika) people are 90% Christian and that is a known fact.
If they had so many Indigenous Muslims as you claim, they wouldn't have been able to chase away all Muslims from Michika town in the past.

Can you kindly mention one Indigenous Higgi town that is Muslim majority? Am waiting.

And stop lying that Adamawa Indigenous tribes are mixed!.
Most of Adamawa tribes are either entirely Christian, overwhelmingly Christian or predominantly Christian.

For starters, the largest Indigenous tribe in Adamawa state, the Bwatiye (Bachama & Batta) are over 98% Christian. There is no single Bwatiye village or Hamlet that is muslim majority. Finding a Bwatiye Muslim is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The same with Lunguda people of Guyuk LGA!
The same thing with the Indigenous tribes of Mayo Belwa (Yandang, Satte, Kungama).
The same thing with all the minority tribes of Numan/Lamurde/Demsa axis (Bali, Bille, Mbula, Chobo).

Most of the Indigenous tribes of Gombi & Song (Yungurr, Lala, Ganda, Ngwahi, Ngwaba, Bura) are 90% Christian.

The tribes that are mixed in Adamawa are Kanakuru, Kilba, Chamba, Marghi, Mumuye, Verre, Fali, Gude & Nzanyi....

But even at this, all these tribes are clearly Christian majority (65-85% Christian), except for Nzanyi people of (Maiha LGA) who are a 50-50.

Among most of these so called mixed tribes, you will only find the Indigenous Muslims residing in the LG headquarters, as soon as you enter into the interior rural villages, they disappear!

Even among the Kilbas, Marghis, Chambas, Kanakurus & Mubi tribes, that Muslims will claim are mixed tribes, go into many of their rural interior villages, you will not find any mosques!

Let's take Kilba for example, there is no Kilba town or village that is overwhelmingly Muslim in the whole of Hong LGA, it doesn't exist!
If you think there is, kindly mention the name. You can ask your Kilba Muslim friends.
However, up of half of Kilba towns and villages are overwhelmingly Christian or entirely Christian.

Adamawa Indigenous tribes are 85% Christian!

Among the 50-60 Indigenous tribes of Adamawa, none of them is muslim majority!

Only 1 of them (Nzanyi) can muslims claim 50-50!

So yes, apart from the few fulani and cin Rani settlers in Numan, Lamurde, Demsa, Guyuk & Michika. These 5 LGAs are up to 90% Christian!

Then I dare you to mention 1 LGA in Adamawa state that can claim up to 90% Muslim!

The LGA with the highest Muslim population to me is Yola south LGA and it is not even up to 80% Muslim, Yola south is at most 65-70% Muslim.

Then Maiha with like 60% Muslim.

Besides these 2 LGAs, no other LGA in Adamawa is Muslim majority.

Cc TooMuchStuff, AdaugoChisom

aumeehn:
Adamwa Christian dominated, OGa sharrap!! List 5 LGA out of the 21 in Adamawa that is 100% dominated by Christians!

scholes0:
Bros you can’t be boasting with the cosmopolitan population of Ilorin saying one polling booth there will cover entire townships in Kwara south and yet in the same breath be re-iterating that the city is 90% muslim.

Ilorin that I know today is not even 70% muslim talk more of a whole 90!

You either talk about just the native and their average populace or the city as a whole with its huge population but also in all its diversity. Don’t contradict yourself.

Thank you very much for reiterating what I have been telling LukasPodolski.
Ilorin of today is around 40% Christian. Most of the new areas of Ilorin (except those around Ilorin old town) are either Christian majority or 50-50.
It is only the old Ilorin town that is entirely Muslim. And the Ilorin of today is far far bigger than Old Ilorin town.

The guy claims Ilorin has a huge population by counting everyone in Ilorin and claiming that they are 90% Muslim. I told him that was tantamount to madness.

DeOTR:
So Moslems are the majority in Irepodun, Oyun, and Ilemona? Offa is not 90% Moslem. That's a pure lie. For every 10 people from Offa, you'll find at least, 3 Christians.
The Nupes are at least 20% Christians.
Now that's for the indigenes. Based on the population of the state as whole, non-indigenes inclusive, the ratio is almost at par.
Before you respond, I'm also from Kwara and I know every corner in the state. Places you'll probably never step your feet on. Say only what you know.

Thank you.
That is why I doubted if this so called LukasPodolski was truly from Kwara south. He must be one of the yorubanized fulanis of Ilorin emirate.
Offa that I know has lots of Christian Indigenes.
Ibolo people are a muslim majority people, no doubt, but they have a huge Christian minority.

Also, Nupes in Kwara state are up to 30-35% Christian. Unless you are talking of the Nupes in Niger state. It is those ones who are 20% Christian.
In Patigi LGA, Christians are dragging numbers with Muslims in most towns. It is Edu LGA that is overwhelmingly Muslim.

Meanwhile LukasPodolski is here claiming that Nupes & Barubas are 95% Muslim
That guy is a fulani agent of lies proudly repping the Caliphate.

capatainrambo:
igalla people and okun people re 70 % Christian only ebira re muslims.


Kogi is 70% Christian

Igalas are actually like 60-65% Christian, while Okuns are like 90% Christian.
Only 1 town in Okun land is muslim majority.

Ebira Christians are up to 35% (among the Taos).

LegendHero:
Lol. That Nowenuse of a thing is one of the strongest religious bigot I’ve ever known and I am sure he is a Christian terrorist.

I’ve always felt some sort of pity for the victims of religious fights in the North that are Christians but with people like Nowenuse I changed my stance on that and I finally conclude that there are lot of Christian bigot in that North and probably they all kill each other (Muslim and Christian) like games and none of them deserve any pity from sane minds.

If Nowenuse have the chance to acquire ammunition, he will be far worse than the dreaded Boko Haram judging by the amount of hate in his heart.

Nice that you put him in his place by telling him to steer clear of Kwara when talking about his religious bullshit, the Yorubas have told these people times without number that we are one irrespective of religious identity. If you like be Ifa, Muslim, Christian, and etc., we all see each other under the cultural mirror first.

ItsTutsi:
his so bitter and frustrated that there is no political and religious tension in kwarra state .. they don't like the fact that both religion are living in harmony

his angry that u guys have refused to be used as pawns against the north/muslims

Cc LukasPodolski

Hahahahaha, I like the fact that you think of me as a bigot. It's a thing of pride for me

There is no religious tension in Jos. What happened in the past was Hausa' fulani land grabbers being shown their place.

Besides, since I am the devil and the founder of all religious problems, I guess I was also the one who attacked Christians and burnt churches in Ilorin town times without number

So much for a people living in peace.
Peace that only comes when Christians are attacked, they keep quiet and everyone continues to worship and follow the Fulani emirs.

Thanks but I'll pass.

I repeat in the north Central, after Abuja,Kwara is next, your violence ravaged plateau doesn't come close sef.

baba say they have up to 30 institutions, Hahaha
your backward state only has two mushroom u universities


https://www.4icu.org/ng/plateau/

while Kwara has Seven 7 solid universities


https://www.4icu.org/ng/kwara/a-z/
this is enough to rubbish your 30 mushrooms institutions you claimed LMAO.

according to NBS, Kwara has the least poverty index in the whole of northern Nigeria and the 9th lowest In the federation, above 4 south South states and 4 South East states, meanwhile your Plateau state is number 14th FROM THE BACK.. Hahaha.
Kwara generated the 4th biggest igr in northern Nigeria after Abuja, Kano and Kaduna, meanwhile your Plateau state as usual is always at the bottom of the table, LMAO.

you don't even have basic amenities like Mall, Cinemas, Clubs, Recreational centres in Plateau, these basic things are normal things in Kwara.

nasco abi wetin you call am again? shey people still dey eat nascos? FYI, the largest steel Industry in Nigeria after Ajaokuta is KAM, located in Ilorin,, this is far more valuable than your Nascos, or whatever.....

it's only a mad man that will put Jos/plateau in the same sentence with Ilorin/Kwara.

I repeat, after Abuja, Ilorin is next in North central , and in northern Nigeria at large.

Abuja
Kano
Kaduna
Ilorin
others
in that order.
and in terms of civilization
after Abuja, the next is Ilorin.
your state is too backward, no infrastructures, no basic social amenities, who would even set up social amenities where bandits can just invade at any time? Hahaha

Comparing a fulani conquered emirate town like Ilorin to Jos is laughable.

To show how much you are out of reality.
There are 4 universities in Jos.

Bingham University (School of Medicine and University teaching hospital) &
Karl Kumm University are located in Jos!

Here are other things Jos bury Ilorin with.

1) Police staff college (the only of its kind in Nigeria) is in Jos.
2) College of Accountancy (only of its kind in Nigeria).
3) National film Institute Jos (the first & biggest of its kind in Nigeria)
4) NTA college of journalism Jos (only of its kind)
5) National institute for policy & strategic studies (only of it's kind in Nigeria)

6) Jos wildlife park (the only intra city wildlife park in the whole West Africa).

There are 5 agricultural colleges in Jos!
Including the largest Animal health and Veterinary research institute and colleges in Nigeria....

Compare these institutions to those terrorist breeding Islamic universities you are listing in Ilorin.


Talking about Amenities, Bridges are collapsing in Ilorin, killing people anyhow

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/06/five-feared-dead-in-ilorin-as-bridge-collapses-in-downpour/amp/

Are these the amenities Ilorin has?

Meanwhile, there are 2 standard flyover bridges in Jos.

And when you are talking about recreation centers, do you have a natural water resort in Ilorin, like the Rayfield resort in Jos?
And tell me which recreational center in Ilorin is worth as much as the JOS WILDLIFE PARK (The only of it's kind in West Africa).

You think Jos is your mate abi?

If not your fulani terrorist master's that are terrorizing the entire country, do you know how much Jos will rake in from Tourism?

Don't worry, very soon the country will divide and you and your fulani emirate Ilorin and the Sokoto caliphate will be left alone to self destruct.

Jos is x2 bigger than Ilorin.

And Just for the records, NASCO is still the number 1 cereal company in Nigeria and it is a multi million dollar industry.
Likewise GRAND, who now dominate the Animal feed and groundnut oil industry in Nigeria.

ALSO, INTEGRATED DAIRIES LTD, the biggest dairy industry in Nigeria is located in Jos....The biggest producers of 100% Indigenously manufactured Yoghurt in Nigeria and not those Danish & Netherlands imported packaged HOLLANDIA yoghurts in the SW...

Beat that!

Baba say he knows Iloffa and Omu-Aran very well, if not because of privacy, I would have reveal some vital informations about this places, these areas, namely, Ekiti, Isin, Oke-Ero and Irepodun...this is my base, my home.
I have the first class experience, Isin is like 95% Christians or more.
Oke-Ero, Iloffa is like 50-50, but the neighboring villages like Odo-Owa, Aiyedun, Ekan, Odofin are overwhelmingly Christian Villages, this will set Oke-Ero at 80% Christian , 20% Muslim
Ekiti too should be at least 70% Christians because Osi is Muslim town but others are Christian Villages.

these three LGAs, Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero are very small, their population is meagre.

now Irepodun should be 50-50 or slightly Muslim majority, the bigger towns like Omu-Aran, Oro, Ajase-ipo, Omupo are majority Christians, only the smaller towns are Christian towns like Oko, Aran orin, Roore, Igbaja.

You said you know Omu-Aran and Iloffa? right, Oya tell me the The villages that surround Iloffa and how to get to this villages from Iloffa.

we are talking about indeginous people only, a huge chunk of Ilorin population are people from Kabba and other Okun towns, Ogbomosho, Igala people, Igbo, because is quite cosmopolitan.

and lastly, I don't practice Islam, I have no reason to lie, I attend RCCG.
Ilorin west 99% Muslims
Ilorin east 99% Muslims
Ilorin South 99% Muslims
Asa 90-95% Muslims
Offa 80-85% Muslims
ifelodun at least 60%muslims
Irepodun at least 50% Muslims
Isin 5-10% Muslims
Ekiti 15-20 Muslims
Oke-Ero 20% Muslims or more.
Moro 90% Muslims
the 3 Ilorin LGA + Asa+Offa+Ifelodun has taken the whole Kwara population, others like Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero are very small, VERY SMALL.
I can't provide information for Oyun and the other four Northern district LGA but I know that Bariba and Nupe are overwhelmingly Muslims

the above is from my own estimation, only indigenous people.

Bariba & Nupe people are predominantly Muslims, yes. But not overwhelmingly Muslims. There is a strong Christian minority in these places. Thank you, so take that 90% Muslim Kwara north out of your head, cos it doesn't exist.

According to you, Moro is 90% Muslim, yet there is a huge Christian population in Shao & Jebba (the 2 biggest towns in Moro LGA).

That's how u claimed Nupes are 95% Muslim in Kwara, and yet Christians are outnumbering Muslims in Patigi & Gbgugbu (the 2 biggest towns in the LGA).

The problem with you is that you judge majority population absolutely without giving strong details to minority population.
Well, I don't blame you, cos you have been trained, schooled and wired by your Fulani emirate leaders in Ilorin, who lie for a living using Islamic taqiyya.

Kwara south has 50% of the Indigenous population of Kwara state! And that is why it has 7 of the 16 LGAs of Kwara state. I even doubt if Kwara central (Ilorin Indigenes) can outnumber the Nupes, Barubas & Moro of Kwara north.

Apart from old Ilorin town, and the few mushroom towns of Asa, can you list the other Ilorin Indigenous towns and and let us compare them in number with the Indigenous towns of Kwara north??

And don't give me that Ilorin population bullshit, cos the majority of people in Ilorin city are not Ilorin emirate Indigenes. They come from all over Kwara state.

Kwara south with half of the Indigenes of Kwara state is 50-50 or even slightly Christian majority (60% Christian) cos only Offa & Erin-Ile have a clear Muslim majority Indigenes.
Now let us assume that Ifelodun & Irepodun are 50/50, are you telling me that Offa & Erin Ile Indigenes will outnumber Oyun, Isin, Ekiti & Oke-ero Indigenes? Hell no!

Offa is the 2nd largest town in Kwara state, and as such it is also fairly cosmopolitan!
Offa Indigenes cannot make up more than 50% of the town's population and that is why the number of churches in Offa will outnumber the number of mosques by a wide margin.

So, just like you made the same mistake with Ilorin population, do not ascribe the entire population of Offa town to Offa Indigenes and claim it is 80% Muslim, hell no!
Abi all those Aladura, Cele, CAC oke Igbala churches all over Offa are being attended by Igbos settlers?

And just for the records, the largest non Yoruba, non Kwara settlers in Ilorin city are the Ebira people. Ebiras not Igalas. Ebiras were part of Kwara state for 25 years before Kogi state was created. They even produced the governor of Kwara at a time.
Igalas were only part of Kwara state for 9 years and were transferred to Benue state.
Even after Kogi state was created, Ebiras kept on migrating to Ilorin, because Igalas turned Lokoja govt houses to their private estate, as they dominated the civil service and everything in the state.

So you can see the Irony,. Ebira people are even a Muslim majority people, yet with all their immigration to Ilorin and your fictional grandiose of Ilorin, Offa, Ifelodun, Nupe & Bariba Muslim population, yet Christians are almost dragging population with Muslims in Ilorin city!

If you are a very sensitive person, you will notice that something is not adding up here! Are Christians being imported to Ilorin city??

Even if we say it is immigration from other Yoruba parts of the SW. Oyo & Osun states are the neighbouring states to Kwara and both states have the highest Muslim population in Yoruba land. So something is not adding up.


Ilorin city has so many Christians because the huge population of Christians who have left their villages from Kwara south and who you ignore, have all moved to stay in Ilorin.
The 2nd largest group of Christians in Ilorin of course, the Okun people from Kogi west.

So if you claim Kwara state is 80% Muslim as your fulani leader in Ilorin told you, can you kindly explain to the world, how come Christians make up to 40% in Ilorin city? Thank you.

ItsTutsi:
God bless u fam!! that guy @nowuse clearly relayed on Google to get his informations

he uses the trick of dashing out percentages and numbers to gullible southerners in order to appear smart and informed.. he doesn't know anything, just check his profile and see how he got every political permutation in the MB leading to the presidential election wrong!!

his trick is that he goes to Google and type "LG/tribe in kwarra state" and start attaching imaginary digits and percentages to it .. and as a southerner, if u don't have any kknowledge of those places, you'll easily fall for it! very cunning guy

I stopped reading and didn't bother to reply him when I saw kwarra, kogi, bauchi and gombe having 40% Christian.. its like saying bcuz Auchi is a majority Muslim LG, then Edo is 40% Muslim!! this is the argument he uses

I know as a Christian his trying to protect his religion, but the fabrication, concoction and lie is too much! he looks desperate to deceive southerners

the reason the guy has bitter hatred against the Yoruba of MB is bcuz u have refuse to join their destructive agenda against the north.. when they want to play politics is "Middle belt" but when u get appointment its "north central"

Oga, if you know you have any facts or proof to challenge my analysis, come forward and drop them and let me break down all the ethnic groups for you LGA by LGA.... Okay?

And pls, I never said Bauchi was 40% Christian.
Bauchi at most is 25% Christian.

Yes, Gombe state is 40% Christian or even more!

For starters, Gombe south senatorial district is around 90% Christian.
I challenge you to come out and mention any Muslim majority town or village in Gombe south.

There is no single emirate in Gombe south, It does not and never exist, not even during the colonial era

The Tangale, Waja, Pero, Bangwinji, Tula, Dadiya, Wurkum, Longuda and other tribes of Gombe south are almost entirely Christians.

Then in Gombe central, Most of the rural areas in Akko LGA are Tangale Christians. While Terawa people who dominate Yamaltu/Deba LGA are a 50-50.

If you ask Christians from Gombe state, they will tell you that Gombe state is 50-50. Many of them have tried to prove this to me, however I refuse to buy this from them, because all the factors of analysis has shown that Muslims outnumber Christians in Gombe state.

Gombe North is almost entirely Muslim, while in the Central, Muslims outnumber Christians 2;1 because of Gombe town with lots of fulanis.

And just for the records, I have no business or interests with Yoruba people.

TooMuchStuff:
Are you just knowing that...?
Why do you always have real tension created by hausafulanis Muslims of the north to ensure the primaries of the two important parties produce only Muslims?
Buhari will never allow Christians to rule
Walid Jibril is the BOT of PDP who ensure Dino Melaye was sent packing in primary of PDP Las year..!

Ebirra have about 30% Christians population
Igallas have over 55% of Christian population
The Okuns are over 90% Christians.

Don't just ask but take ya time to research the indigenous population. Fulani supremacists agenda have distorted a lot of realities to the disadvantage of Christianity in Nigeria just as Buhari is fixing Hausafulanikanuri Muslims in all federal positions to the tune of 99% of all. Is that the reality on ground?

Perfect analysis!

And among the minority tribes of Kogi state.

Ogori-Magongo are entirely Christian.
Bassas & Gbagyis are overwhelming Christian.
Kakanda are a 50-50.
It is only Egbura Koto/Mozum that are overwhelmingly Muslim.

Kwara is the most prosperous state in the north Central, miles better than your battle ground Plateau state, in the north Central after Abuja, Kwara is next....

Kwara is next after Abuja? Oshogbo weed at work
Can you compare the size of Ilorin to Jos?
In the entire Northern region, only Kano, KADUNA and now recently Abuja is bigger than Jos city in size!
Ilorin is in the league with cities like Makurdi, Bauchi, Maiduguri & Sokoto.

Jos city is like x2 the size of Ilorin.
Google maps is your friend.
There are more than 30 tertiary institutions in Jos.
The kind of million dollar industries headquarters you have in Jos like NASCO & GRAND, how many of such are in Ilorin?
ECWA, one of the biggest church denominations in Nigeria & COCIN too, with millions of church members both have their headquarters in Jos.

Oga, see, know your mate ooo
Better go and compare Ilorin with Makurdi or Lokoja.

northern Nigerian is just a political term, Kwara is culturally and geographically a Western state..

Nigeria has a Constitution and it classifies Kwara as a northern state.
Geography is inconsequential here.

have you ever wonder why Kwara is a state of harmony? it's because religion is not our identity contrary to the trash you said earlier that religion is the identity of northern Nigeria people..
OUR SLOGAN IS "THE STATE OF HARMONY" IT'S GOOD HERE.

Muslim extremists have burned down churches and attacked Christians in Ilorin, time and time again.
So pls shove that 'phantom' peace down your behind.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/north-central/254386-churches-attacked-ilorin-new-year-day-can.html

Peace that only comes by surrendering your land to the rulership of the fulani emirate of Ilorin & Sokoto caliphate.
Thank you, but I think I will pass for that kind of peace. Peace is slavery & servitude.

now back to business.

KWARA CENTRAL: have you ever seen someone from Kwara central that practice Christianity? Kwara central that consist of Ilorin east, Ilorin South, Ilorin west and Asa is at best 95% I've never seen someone from Ilorin that practice Christianity, the 5% would most likely come from Asa (Ilorin Emirate is 99.9% Muslim)

Kwara central constitutes like 40-45% of the whole Kwara population.

Yes Kwara central (Ilorin) has half of the state's population, but that is because all Kwarans live in Ilorin.
Non Indigenes of Ilorin have outnumbered Ilorin Indigenes in Ilorin 4;1.... That is why Christians are now almost equalling the numbers of Muslims in Ilorin city.

So, you either count Ilorin Indigenes (90%) Muslim with a small population, or you count everyone that lives in Ilorin with a large population (half of the state), and then it becomes 40% Christian.
You cannot count outsiders to Ilorin indigenous population and still label the city 90% Muslim, that is tantamount to madness!

KWARA SOUTH :

Offa, Erin-ile and other towns in Oyun are called IBOLO and not IGBOLO
(it shows that you rely on Google and not first hand experience)

Offa the second largest town is predominantly a Muslim town with very tiny Christian population.

In Irepodun, Omu-Aran Is not a majority Christian town, I know Omu-Aran like the back of my hand, Omu-Aran though harbours Christians from small Irepodun villages like, Oko, Aran-orin, Roore, E.t.c
the three biggest towns in Irepodun are;
Omu-Aran ----- looks like 50/50 or slightly Muslim majority, even most popular people from Omu-Aran are Muslims, like Lateef Jakande, Koko zaria, Owolewa, even Pastor Oyedepo was born to a Muslim family.

Oro is the second Biggest town in Irepodun and it's majority Muslims, 90% of notable people from this town are Muslims, Lai Mohammed, Pasuma, Yinka quadri, e.t.c

Ajase-ipo, the third biggest town too is majority Muslim.

the Christians dominated towns in Irepodun are small towns and villages, the Muslim dominated towns will neutralize the Christian towns.

Ifelodun too is majority Muslim, Share, Omupo, Idofian e.t.c are Muslim towns, especially Omupo (where Muslims used to have a mini- pilgrimage)

it's only Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero that are Christians dominated areas.

in Ekiti, the biggest town which is Osi is majority muslim, but other towns like Obo, Etan, Oke opin, Epe are overwhelmingly Christian Villages.

in Oke-Ero, the biggest town, Ilofa is 50/50, but other towns like Odo-owa, Aiyedun, Ekan, odofin are overwhelmingly Christian.

Isin is also Overwhelmingly Christian LGA.

Imagine someone saying that Omu-aran town has more Muslims, or Ilofa is 50-50.
This is a very big lie. I have stayed in these towns and I have 1st hand experience, this is simply not true.
Your problem is that you judge some of these towns with the religion of the families, you forget that over the years, so so many Yoruba Muslims have been converting to Christianity and keep on converting still.

It's just like Ijebu, originally, Ijebu people were a Muslim majority people, but over the years Christians have now become a majority among Ijebus due to high conversion rates. Check out almost every Ijebu Christian today, they have muslim father's or grandfather's.

Another thing is that many of the very small villages in Kwara have dominantly Christian population, and over the years, these Christians migrate to the bigger towns and further dilute the Muslim population.
Just like Offa, you claim that Offa is 90% Muslim. That could be possible 40 years ago, but not today! The Offa I know today is at least 35% Christian!

Thank God for technology, anybody who is interested in demographics, can help himself with Google maps.
If you look at Offa is Google maps, you will see that the number of churches outnumber the number of mosques. This cannot be possible in an area where Christians make up 10% of the population.
Now, I am not saying that the number of churches is directly equivalent to the Christian population, however, it shows the clear and strong presence of Christians there.
So, your write up cannot be corroborated with facts!

Most of those 'famous' people you are listing, check out so many of their wives and children, they are now Christians, just like Bukola Saraki.

KWARA NORTH : The Bariba people that occupies Baruten and Kaiama are 95% Muslims but the Nupes has a very small Christians in Patigi but not Edu.....

Moro, which is the only Yoruba area In Kwara north is also 90% Muslims, you will only find small Christians in Shao town, in villages like Malete, Elemere, Asomu, Kosubosu, Alapa where the Kwara state University is located you will hardly see Christians, In Malete, Elemere villges not even one single Christian...
if you doubt me, take a trip to Malete, where the Kwara state Uni is located, it's just a 45minute journey from Ilorin, then take a quick census or ask any indigene of Malete and other surrounding villages about the religion demography in the area, they will tell you that they are all muslims, 100%

Oga, do you know Bariba at all?
Elder Peter Kisira (former deputy governor) of Kwara state is a church elder and is from Ilesha Baruba. Do you think it would have been possible for him to be the most senior Bariba person in Kwara state for so many years if indeed Bariba people were entirely Muslims?

Go through Bariba towns from Ilesha Baruba to Kaiama, Moshi, Okuta, Gwanara, Yashikera, Chikanda...... There are lots of Christian Indigenes. ... In Chikanda town on the boundary with Benin republic, Christians even outnumber Muslims.
When you go to Benin republic, NIKKI town, which is the traditional headquarters of Bariba people in Benin and a stone throw from Nigeria, is almost 50-50!

It is the Bariba people in Borgu LGA of Niger state that are up to 90% Muslims, but never those in Kwara state.
There are lots of Baptist & Ecwa Christians among the Barubas.

As for the Nupes, you say only small number of Christians in Patigi and the same Patigi town, the christians outnumber the Muslims? What about Gbgugbu town (the 2nd largest in Patigi LGA)? It is also Christian majority!
Patigi LGA is around a 50-50! And it is no surprise because if you cross the boundary into Kogi state, you meet the Nupe speaking Kakanda people who are also 50-50!

Not even the Nupes in Niger state are up to 90% Muslims... Those ones are around 80% Muslims, while those in Kwara & Kogi are 50-65% Muslims, take it or leave it.

Kwara north is at most 70% muslim!.

the only Christian dominated areas are Isin, Oke-Ero, Ekiti, these areas are Soo small that Saraki came to campaign in one of these LGA he said the total number of votes in that particular LGA is less than his Polling unit in Agbaji, Ilorin.

and lastly, in respect to population, the igbomina are not the largest, the Igbomina only have the largest Landmass..
They occupies, Irepodun, Isin and some part of Ifelodun, Irepodun population is not up to Ilorin west, while the combined population of Ifelodun and Isin is not up to Ilorin east.
leaving Ilorin South and some part of Asa behind.

hence, the Ilorin are the largest Yoruba subgroup in Kwara.

if you remove Ilorin and Offa from Kwara, there is nothing left.

See, if you look at Ilorin city, the capital today, you will see that Christians make up to 40% of Ilorin city!
Most of these Christians are from other parts of Kwara state, especially Kwara south! They have all left their villages to Ilorin. Then you also have lots of Okuns from Kogi west.

It is impossible for a state to be 80% Muslim and yet the state capital is almost looking like a 50-50, it is impossible!

And when I say Ilorin, I don't mean the old Ilorin where the Indigenes are.
The Ilorin of today has far far outgrown the old Ilorin town like 4-1 in size and infact, in most parts of the new Ilorin, Christians tend to almost outnumber Muslims!
Or are all these Christians all over Ilorin Igbo people?

I don't need to proof that am a Christian, I just love being objective, and there is nothing wrong in being objective.

You don't need to. A head slammer is always a head slammer

stay away from Kwara, IT'S GOOD HERE.

Kindly beg your fulani master's in Ilorin to free you from the hold of the caliphate and ginger your cowardly people to demand a merger with the Southwest.... Until then, you cannot tell other northerners not to talk about Kwara.
Do you see me meddling in Osun or Oyo state affairs?

DZTech:
u can make ur point without insults or curse words.
it'll be nice to have a clean discussion for posterity.
kindly modify & remove them
cheers

He was the one who started the curse words. So tell that to him first. It wasn't me!

LukasPodolski:
I would love to make a correction on the issue of Kwara state as a BONAFIDE Kwara indigene.

I'm a Christian, but saying that the population of Christians in Kwara is up to 40% is not true.

among the Yorubas that occupies 12 local government area and 2 senitorial district (Kwara South and Kwara central ) + 1 local government govt in Kwara North which is Moro local government.

Kwara South has 7 LGAs (predominantly Yoruba)
Kwara central has 4 LGAs(predominantly Yoruba)
Kwara North has 5 LGAs (but Yorubas occupies one of these five LGAs )

7+4+1 = 12 Yoruba LGAs

the only Christian dominated LGAs are Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero (I came from one of these LGAs)
these three LGAs are the smallest in respect to population and Landmass in Kwara state.

Ilorin which is the largest City is 98% Muslim
Offa which is the second largest city is at least 90% Muslim
if you remove these two cities from kwara, then there is nothing left in terms of population.

among the Yorubas of Kwara state, the population of Muslims is 70% while Christians is 30%

now if we add Kwara north(an area which is 90% Muslims, the Nupes and Bariba people), this will reduce the population of Christians in the whole state to 15%-20%)

now to the concluding part which is also the most important part, you called yourself a northern Christian advocate or whatever, I think you should remove Kwara state from your activism or whatever, you don't create a problem where there is none, Kwara is a state of harmony, Kwara is arguably the most peaceful state in Nigeria, so don't come and cause problem here with your activism.

did you even know that Most of the popular pastors in Nigeria started in Ilorin?
from Adeboye to Oyedepo to Fatoyinbo to Sam Adeyemi and his brother and the list goes on.
here is a comprehensive list of Nigerian pastors that started in Kwara state.
https://www.nairaland.com/2584549/most-nigeria-top-pastors-tied

though most of them left for Lagos, Ogun and Abuja for wider audience, only Rhema Chapel still had it's headquarters in Ilorin.

Ilorin is the most lively city In northern political zone and the third in Yorubaland after Lagos and Ibadan.... despite the fact that the city is 99% Muslim (indigenous people), the ratio of church to mosque is like 8:2, you would see 8 churches in Ilorin before you will see 2 mosque.


even the the last 3 first lady were Christians
Toyin Saraki never convert into Islam.
Omolewa Ahmed was even a Deaconess.
the current one two is a Christian (though I don't know much about her)

this is how we roll in Kwara state and Yorubaland at large, we view ourselves as Yoruba and Human being before any foreign Religion

so don't take your activism to kwara, it's good here, unless you want Ogun to kill you.

thank you

You are a condemned liar.
You don't know nothing about Kwara state.

Before I proceed, I will like to clear your insanity.
Where were you and your cowardly fathers when the Yorubas of Kwara & Kogi were carved into Northern Nigeria?
You people cowardly let that slide away and even till date you keep quiet about it, so shut that hole in your face.
As long as religion remains the number 1 identity in the north and your useless Kwara state is still under Northern Nigeria, continue to cry forever.
If u think I give a fvck about Yoruba people, then u are insane.

According to you, Irepodun & Ifelodun LGAs of Kwara state are Muslim majority? Absolute nonsense and lies.
Omu-aran town ( the 2nd biggest town in Kwara south) and the 3rd biggest in the entire state is Christian dominated and it is the headquarters of Irepodun LGA.

Kwara state is 75% Yoruba & 25% Nupe & Bariba.

The Yorubas of Kwara state are divided into 4 groups, the Igbominas who are the largest and dominate Kwara south and Asa, Ilorin Emirates Indigenes, the 2nd largest, Igbolo who dominate Offa & Erin ile LGAs and the Ekiti speakers who dominate Ekiti & Oke-ero.

Igbominas are majority Christians with significant Muslim minorities for starters! Ekitis are entirely Christians while Ilorins & Igbolos are Muslim majority with significant Christian minorities.
So stop masquerading as a Christian and take that your Islamic system of taqiyya back to the pit of hell.


As for Kwara north, only a nincompoop will claim that this area is 90% Muslim. Are you aware that most times, the deputy governor slot goes to Kwara north and it is always a christian? Muslims are majority in Kwara north, yes, but the christians there are not less 35%!

In Patigi town, Christians outnumber muslims!
The 2nd biggest Nupe town in Kwara!

There are so many famous and politically powerful Christians who hail from Kwara north

Yujin:
I've said it here that clearly there are more Christians than muslims in Nigeria but for obvious reasons Christians have no political power to even stand for their rights. It's very saddening.

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.

ayomilore:
Don't believe this. Why is it that Muslim has been ruling the state since if the above is true about nassarawa?

The first governor of Nasarawa state (Abdullahi Adamu) was actively supported by SOLOMON LAR, cos he was Solomon Lar's former deputy governor in old Plateau state and close friend.

Solomon Lar (the old godfather of Plateau state) supported Abdullahi Adamu over his rival SOLOMON EWUGA!
And that was how a Plateau man foolishly stamped in Muslim domination on Nasarawa state.

Immediately Adamu became governor, he swore that over his dead body for a christian to rule Nasarawa state.

And Adamu is an Afo man, go to Afo villages and towns all over Keffi & Nasarawa LGAs, and count the number of Christians & Muslims, Christians clearly outnumber Muslims 70-30!

Apart from the Egbura people in Toto LGA, no other indigenous ethnic group of Nasarawa state is muslim majority among the about 30 ethnic groups that make up Nasarawa state.
The Egburas are not even the majority in Toto LGA, the Bassas who are the majority there are 95% Christian.

So, yes, it is true!
No LGA in Nasarawa state is muslim majority, it doesn't exist, but meanwhile, there are LGAs like Karu, Akwanga, Kokona & Nass Eggon that are up to 90% Christian.

TooMuchStuff:
Very Correct sir

Muslims in Nassarawa state are far less than 30% in all. I keep shouting this for all to know how hausafulanis are doing politics with reckless abandoned in Christians dominated states like Adamawa, Kogi, Kaduna and Nassarawa

SlayerForever:
Let me shock you. In Nasarawa state no local government area is muslim owned/dominated. None.

ayomilore:
Don't believe this. Why is it that Muslim has been ruling the state since if the above is true about nassarawa?

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.

DZTech:
many of us are unaware that there are many generations of Christians in the North.
from Sokoto to Borno, many original indigenes were Christians.
long before Independence, schools, hospitals and other institutions were built and run by locals, govt and missionaries.
- hence the large number of Christian girls in FGGC Chibok.
therefore boko haram knew what they were doing during the kidnappings.

so kindly name the LGAs in states that you know of.
further analysis will take place once this list is compiled.

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.

onchekpa:
I'm looking at January but would like a partner too.

Hello, I also hope to write TEF by January.
I was supposed to write this month, but I decided to postpone it cos I wanted to reach B2 level before writing, I am currently on BE level.

I don't understand, why should the curfew be placed only in Christian dominated neighbourhoods of KADUNA city?
