Barbilius:
Exactly. Middlebelt in the region that actually produces bulk of food in the north. In fact, if northerners claim they supply us, much of the food we eat down south can't even grow in the core north, abi palm oil dey grow for NE and NW, cassava nko? They only grow things like millet, etc which are not staple food in the south

Thank you very much. Even the Millet, Guinea corn & Maize, middlebelters farm it more than Hausa fulanis.

Hausa fulanis are the biggest parasitic thieves known to Mankind.

Yorubas & Igbos only speak for themselves, why can't Hausa fulanis speak for themselves alone? Why must they say NORTH and drag we the tribes into their madness & stupidity?

Dtribeless:
Schools/businesses are in the SW because we are tolerant. A Yoruba brother/sister cannot incite me against an Igbo/hausa person just because of their tribe. Our culture will ask such to "park well". It's our liberalism that's paying off. Nothing more: we are not smarter or wiser, we tolerate. That's all!

Schools & Businesses are mostly in the SW because of Lagos, nothing else.

LegendHero:
You guys problem is that you don't always want to give the required credit to the Yorubas. C'mon, we are minorities in the Christian faith with respect to the other tribes in Nigeria due to to the fact that the Yorubas are basically 50/50 Muslim- Christianpercentage.

SE - Maybe 95% Christian
SS- Maybe 90% Christian
NC: Maybe 50-65% Christian

Yet, the Yoruba owned churches are the lifeline of the Christian faith in Nigeria. Most of the mega-churches are Yoruba owned and the Universities are majorly those of the Yoruba people. Why are the Igbos not successful in establishing those mega-universities? Even if you say they are catholic, why don't they have those mega-institutions? Why are the SS'ner and the Middle Belt Christian not doing same?

Why is it that the Yoruba Christian are successful with all those that made those Christian from other tribe patronize their universities and churches? Doesn't that tell you something is exceptional about the Yorubas? Why not for once face reality.

You said on your other reply that the Yoruba churches/universities will collapse if those tribe leaves? You are joking right? Do you know the number of countries that Redeem and other Yoruba churches are situated? Do you know the number of churches in USA and UK alone?

You are the only people that always shout you develop people and that without you others are Nothing!! Haba!

Bro, I give full credit to the Yorubas for developing Pentecostalism in Nigeria. I always mention this. Same with the Music industry. I give u guys the credit.

However, what I will not take is you guys disrespecting or downplaying the contributions of we Non-Yorubas to the building up of these churches.

You Yorubas have the smallest population of Christians in Nigeria. Igbos have 40 million Christians, Middlebelt/North has 35-40 million Christians, Nigerdeltans have 25 million Christians while you Yorubas should be like 20-25 million Christians.
How on Earth do you think your Pentecostalism or Pentecostal based institutions can survive without us?


I laugh at you when you talk about the presence of Yoruba churches in other countries.... Do you think the Westerners are as religious as us? How many Oyibo people dey pay tithe, firstfruits, vows & pledges? Other Black Africans are also not as religious or heavily miracle seeking as Nigerians! They also don't have the numbers and rich people like us.

Take Yakubu Dogara (former speaker) from Bauchi for example.... He is a very devoted Winners member and he gives so so much to Winners church.
Go to his branch in Bauchi and ask what he used to do there!
Do u know how much such a person will be paying as tithes, offerings, pledges?

Do you think other people are like we Nigerians who steal and yet pay tithes from stolen money?
We Nigerians that will sell our houses & cars in order to sow just because we believe our grandmother in the village is after our destiny?

How many Oyibo people or non-Nigerians wan follow u do that one?

Dtribeless:
Everything will crash with Igbos, yet, Igbos, univited, show up everywhere. If you made us, please make yourself. YEYE dey smell. Igbos have the MOST to lose if Nigeria breaks up. The Exodus will be a sight to behold.

Oga, I am not an Igbo man. Tell that to the Igbos.
As a northern Christian, I know how many of my people attend Yoruba churches. It is much, but not as much as the population of Igbos/Nigerdeltans.

You Yorubas are very lucky that we Middlebelters & Nigerdeltans are not as emotional and sentimental as Igbos. If we were and we decide to gang up with the Igbos in order to sabotage Yoruba churches. Take it from me, your churches will collapse.

Ayekotoo:
Household of God founded by Chris Okotie has 80%Yoruba Pastors likewise Foursquare. Fact!

Barbilius:
Abi o. The Yorubas own pentecostalism in Nigeria and we rightly dominate universities owned by pentecostal churches.

Ayekotoo:
How many non yoruba are in Daystar Christian Center to Yoruba?
What about KICC, Latter Rain, House on the Rock, Household of God etc

Yorubas dominate leadership of Pentecostalism in Nigeria because you people started it, although we Middlebelters & Niger deltans have started giving you people a run for your money in Pentecostalism.
Igbos are the ones who are still very behind in Pentecostalism cos they are so attached to their Catholicism & Anglicanism.

Paul Enenche & David Ibiyeomie dominate Pentecostalism in Abuja & PH.

Abeg, all those Daystar & House on the Rock are one man churches. We are talking of churches like Redemeed, Winners, Mountain of fire, Deeper life e.t.c with more branches outside Yoruba land than branches within Yorubaland.

Ayekotoo:
What! I laugh in urhobo. Check the percentage of Yorubas in Covenant, Babcock, Redeemer, Top mountain, Abuad, AL hikimot, Crawford, Crescent, Anchor, Jabu, Bowen etc compare with all other ethnics combined.

Alhikmah & Crescent are Muslim varsities, so only Yoruba, Hausa fulanis & middlebelt Muslims like Igala & Ebira muslims can drag that one with you people.

But for the Christian universities, it is impossible!

I was the one who took my younger brother to Omu-aran last year when he was resuming Landmark universitiy.

There is only one park from Warri that goes to Kwara state. Come and see the numbers of people from Warri going to Landmark.
Almost everyone in the vehicle I entered from Warri were also taking their children to Landmark! Igbos & Nigerdeltans.

If only Warri can be like this, how much more Benin, Asaba, Onitsha, Jos, Kaduna, Abuja, Ughelli, Calabar, Portharcourt e.t.c?

When I reached Landmark universitiy, I couldn't believe the number of people speaking Hausa I met with there.
Plateau people, Southern Kaduna people, Adamawa, Southern Borno people (northern christians) were all bringing their wards to Landmark. And mind u, Landmark is a new university compared to Covenant.

My friend who also went to Babcock told me the same thing.
Babcock is a seventh day Adventist school. How may Yorubas are members of Seventh day Adventist Church compared to Igbos & Northern christians?

Let's not even talk about Redeemed. Mountain top can be slightly predominantly Yoruba cos mountain of fire church is not so popular in the Middlebelt & Igbo land. Only in the SS is it very popular.

Yorubas cannot outnumber Non-Yorubas in a Pentecostal Christian university, unless that Pentecostal church is not popular in the SE/SS/Middlebelt.

Dtribeless:
Why are these people not in Igbo universities? Have you ever asked yourself that?

Mind you, I am not an Igbo person. I am from Plateau state.

Most private universities in Nigeria are Pentecostal Christian based.

We all know that Yorubas dominate Pentecostal Christianity in Nigeria, so where do u expect all the Pentecostal varsities to be cited?

Most Middlebelt/Northern christians are orthodox Christians. Most Igbos are Catholics/Anglican. It is Nigerdeltans that have a strong Pentecostal population like Yorubas.

LegendHero:
So you got the above statistics from your brothers? That 70% of people in private universities are Other tribes?

So automatically that means it is the truth and you rush to Nairaland to speak authoritaively?

Brother you are saying nonsense!

tubolancer:
Stop the lie, so because your brother are in one or two, so you are telling us that your people dominate private University in South West, you must be high on weed.

See, I am from the Middlebelt and I lived much of my life in the SS. So, to an extent I can speak on behalf of both regions.

I know how many of my friends, relatives, neighbors, classmates went to these private schools in Yorubaland.

Most of these private schools in the SW are Christian based and tied to a religious denomination.
Apart from Cele church, Aladura & CAC can u mention one Yoruba dominated church that the population of Yorubas in that church outnumber the population of Non-Yorubas?

How many Yoruba Christians are in Nigeria compared to Igbos, Nigerdeltans & Middlebelters put together?

I attended both of my brothers matriculations & convocation and they usually give us a list of the names of all the convocating/matriculating students.

I take surveys of these names and they are something like 35% Yoruba, 35% Igbo, 20% Nigerdeltans and 10% Middlebelters.

Without Non-Yorubas, all these universities in the SW will crash!

Barbilius:
70%?That's way too exaggerated. Not even Covenant has 70% of those tribes and peoples you listed. Cc highered

Dtribeless:
Why are these people not in Igbo universities? Have you ever asked yourself that?

Perkins2018:
We just allow them to disgrace themselves. Even the op can only come up with agricultural produce for the north. The south west have that too. So there’s even no debate at all. My state supply the south east and Abuja with food.

Oga, abeg say u supply food to the East. Don't include Abuja.

How many food can u supply Abuja compared to the one that comes from Nasarawa, Plateau, Southern Kaduna e.t.c?

IamAtikulate:
66% of poor people in Nigeria are in the North and when you spread this across 3 regions, it gives an average of 23%

Yeah.

Average northerners cultivate their foods. Most of the food I eat in Lagos are sent to me from Kano .

Every year, I ensure that at least 70% of the food we eat are cultivated but in Kano, it is close to 99% except few things we buy to complement

Yorubas buy their food.

FACT

How many food do Hausa fulanis cultivate? Liar.

70% of food crops from the north are from Christian middlebelt tribes. Thief.

myobjective:
There is a difference between, the northwest has 23% of poor Nigerians than to say poverty rate is 23% in the northwest.

So u are falling for the statistics of that idiiot?

He is sharing the poverty of the NW into the NC. Is he not madd?
Why does he share the poverty rates of Hausa fulanis with Middlebelt tribes?

Iamgrey5:
Olodo! is that how statistics is analysized in your village

60% means 6 out every 10 Northerners are poor

Even if it's broken to the three region, it cannot be interpreted the way you did.

Or are you saying the total will reduce for every region as well.

Pls don't mind that Mallam called IamAtikulate.

The idiott is dividing poverty from the NW (Hausa land) into the NE & NC.

Hausa fulanis are the ones with the highest poverty rates due to their backward culture. They better not push that madness to Christian middlebelt tribes.

IamAtikulate:
Poverty in the north is currently at 66%. Spread across 3 regions, it is 23% per region.

An average Northern household count a million at least once in a Year.

Unemployment rate in the north is about 10% and when spread across 3 regions is less than 4% per region on average.

The 10% are mostly from almajiris

You must be high on weed! What are u telling Omonnakoda?

How can you share chronic poverty from Hausa fulanis into the lands of Middlebelt tribes? May thunder fire you for this.

So, this is what u have been telling people on this thread?

See, everyone knows that Northwest has the highest poverty in Nigeria followed by the Northeast. North central is 40% poor while NW is 80% poor. If not for my Southern Kaduna brothers, NW would have been 90% poor just like Niger republic.
Stop that madness at once!

IamAtikulate:
Yoruba mosques in the North?

Continue lying.

That nonsense can only be seen in the East outside SW

There are Yoruba mosques in the north. Stop lying.

Ayekotoo:
And the same Yorubas are establishing Universities everywhere. Who are the people being admitted most if they are not Yorubas.?

I strongly disagree with this.

70% of the students in Private christian Yoruba universities are Igbos, Nigerdeltans & Middlebelters.

My younger brother is in Landmark varsity and my senior bro finished from Covenant.

IamAtikulate:
In Kano, in Katsina, in Kaduna I have met only 7 yorubas.

3 are roadside mechanics from Oyo, 1 is a Medical Doctor from Kwara, 1 is a teacher from Kwara and the last is a banker, state unknown.

The last one is a student and I don't know his state.

All are Moslems and carry themselves as Northerners, behaves like them and dresses like them.

Oga go to Narya (Kabala west). It is dominated by Yorubas.
Kakuri & Trikaniya have many muslims (even though they are in Kaduna city south) and majority of these muslims are Yorubas.

Yo don't know Kaduna!

DanArrewa:
first of all... You're not south south... You're an igbo

You're hiding under the unmbrella of the south south... To insult the north so that I will not respond by insulting your unproductive south east...

South east is unproductive and contribute nothing to Nigeria...

Your land is muddy and unproductive... Ordinary maize can't do well in your region...

You guys are just parasite...

Every region contribute in one way or the other...

But south east contribute nothing... You're all traders scattered all over Nigeria... Benefiting from your host communities...

Any day the north decide to cut exportation of food to your region..that will be the end of south east!!

70% of the food crops in the north are from Christian tribes and not you Hausa fulani people.

Why do you Hausa fulanis find it so difficult to speak for yourself alone?

Do not drag middlebelt Christian tribes into your madness of NORTH pls. Speak for your ethnic group alone.

myobjective:
There are more Yorubas in the north than Igbos. Don't let the fact that you get involve in retailing business, petty trading and makes the loudest noise deceive you.

I have been to minna, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, kebbi etc. I see Yoruba in their university as students and lecturers, I see Yoruba in their organized private sector than any southerners.

Yorubas are more than Igbos in Niger state.
Kaduna & Katsina are like 50-50. No, Yorubas should be more in Kaduna city, but am not sure of Zaria.
Jos used to have more Yorubas, but many of them relocated after the crisis.

Kano should clearly have more Igbos.
NE has more Igbos.
Nasarawa/Abuja has more Igbos.

I think Yorubas are more in Kebbi.

IamAtikulate:
Yorubas should learn to travel.

I have met only 5 yorubas in the entire North.

Yorubas are nothing in Kano. Hausas, Igbos and Fulanis run that town and a lot of Hausas are making it legit.

It was in Kano that I know that Hausas get money and they don't make noise about it

This is a very big lie.
Yorubas are heavily present in Kaduna, Zaria, Jos & Zaria.
I can't speak for Kano cos I've not stayed there.

IamAtikulate:
What these yorubas don't know is that average Hausas families in the rural villages count about a million ateast once in a year.

The problem with Hausas is management and saving culture.

No, the problem with Hausa fulanis is Illiteracy and religious extremism.

A Hausa guy and a Plateau guy will both go to the South to do Maigadi work.
The Plateau guy will save the money from the Maigadi work to go back to his state to further his education, but the Hausa guy will go and marry a new wife and breed more and more poverty stricken almajiris.

Hausa fulanis are good in business just like Igbos, but a Hausa man will rather marry a new wife with his profit, rather than building a house, investing or expanding his business like the typical Igbo man will do.

Perkins2018:
Are you telling me what I know? That they come from the east and benue means they are also not coming from ondo? That we buy yam from the north means we don’t cultivate yam in Yoruba land?

Plantains, Bananas & Tangerines are the crop products we know Ondo (Yorubas) dominate.

Yams are 90% from the Middlebelt. Not even Hausa fulanis. Hausa fulanis do not farm Yams.

Perkins2018:
Offor
Ogbono
Yam
Plantain
Pepper
Your ngwongwo na ngwongwo used in making all kinds of soups.
Planks from our sawmills

Etc. you can come here to take a look. We even take food to Abuja. Their yam season is different from ours. We supply them with our yams during their off season including palm oil and garri. We supply north too with timber.

Are u really serious when u say Yorubas supply Yams to the north? Perhaps u are talking of the core north and not middlebelt.
Cos we all know that the Middlebelt is where 90% of Yams in Nigeria are produced.
Nasarawa, Benue, Taraba, Niger & Southern Plateau is the Yam belt of Nigeria.

How on Earth can Yorubas supply Yams to these areas?

Iamgrey5:
No you are using your village as yardstick not Lagos

There's no where in lagos with more Igbo artisans than Yoruba artisans.

Granted! the Hausas(Northerners) are used to do hard labour across Nigeria because they don't often have the skills to do semi skilled labour, but that doesn't mean they contribute to Nigerian economy than an average Yoruba artisan.

Stop using your village as a yardstick for Nigeria. It's quite remote.

I so much agree with you. Yorubas dominate the handskill and handworks in Nigeria.

KunleyY19:
I would have continued with you but this your stat ain't correct at all... "Kwara South has more indigenes than Kwara Central and Kwara North Combined."

That's a big fat lie. I bet you don't know kwara state.

I never said COMBINED. I meant individually.
Kwara south is like 40% of the state, while Kwara central & north are like 30-30%.

Evercurious:
.

THIS IS WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES..But why don't you speak up

I am not a Hausa Christian or a core northern Christian. I am from Plateau state, but I am neighbors and relatives with these core northern christians, so I know what they pass through.

You know, we Christians are told to turn to other side of the cheek and leave vengeance for God. And that is our biggest weakness & foolishness.
Anywhere Christians are 35% or less in the north, they tend to keep quiet and allow oppression go on without speaking up.

Core northern christians manage to survive by answering Hausa/Islamic names.

Onlyonebuhari:
I think u guys will argue without bias but u are so gullible. The percentage of Muslims to Christians in Ondo was the reflection of Buhari results in 2019. He won Akoko landslide and 2 senatorial seats while PDP won a Christian but dominated riverine arears.

This is a very very silly lie. Yoruba people do not play politics or vote based on religion.
Using votes to signify religion is a failed experiment.

Ogun is Christian majority but APC won while Oyo that has a slight muslim majority, yet PDP won.

Rahyberg:
Clap for yourself, Geopolitical Analyst.

Ijebu are 70% Muslim, u get am..

You can only say this to the naive and non indigene.

You're talking to an Ogun state indigene and an Ijebu man.

You might have been to Ogun state or you're living there presently that doesn't means you know the history or every fact about the state.

Apart from Ijebu-Igbo & Ago-Iwoye, no other Ijebu town has a clear muslim majority, but immediately u enter Ijebu land from Ogbere, u see Christian majority towns like Ogbere, Ijebu Itele & Ijebu Mushin that are clear Christian majority before u get to Ijebu ode which is a 50-50. Ijebu Ife is also 50-50.

Omu-Ijebu is 50-50, Ibefun has more Christians.
Oru Ijebu & Awa Ijebu has more Christians.

Shagamu, Mosimi & Ogijo are a complete knockout with a clear Christian majority which stretches into Ikorodu (Lagos State).
Currently, Muslims cannot outnumber Christians in Ijebu land abeg. Unless in the past like 40 years ago where muslims had the slight majority.

joeyfire:
This thread reminds me of how my Igala lecturer was complaining those days that "when it is time for politics they say all of us are one north but when it's time for us to be rewarded they say we are not core north". In my mind I said ntooor

Igalas, Idomas & Tivs are like the most foolish group of people I have ever seen. (Apologies to them ).
These people naturally do not even understand a word of Hausa language, unlike we from Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa e.t.c who speak Hausa as a 2nd language, yet u don't even see these Benue & Kogi people agitating for a middlebelt identity like us.

deltaprincess:
Correction, Hausa Fulani is a non-existent Ethnic group. There is no such thing. We have the Hausa ethnicity and the Fulani ethnicity.

Each Ethnic group has got it's own cultural values and respective language.

Hausa/Fulani is only used for political considerations.

So go back and do more research. After that, you can correct your write up.

Hausas & Fulanis have merged into the same social structure and that is why we classify them together. It is not as if we don't know that there is a difference.

Millions (majority) of the Fulanis live in NW Nigeria and almost all of them have become Hausanized .... Hausa is their only mother tongue and they intermarry like nonsense.

How do u want to differentiate these people?

Alanpoza007:
Stop saying nonsense about a place you are not from or very familiar with. Can you mention up to 30 towns in Ondo North. We're talking about a place where I live and work for ages now. Aside Ikare-Akoko and Owo with a reasonable number of Muslim populations, mention which other places in Ondo North where you have majority Muslim population? Even Ikare has a large following of Cherubim & Seraphim Church as the founder of that church, Moses Orimolade is from there. There are 6 LGAs there, how many Muslims can you find in a place like Ose LG, or the entire Akoko Land with 4 LGAs.. Orthodox churches like Anglican, African Church, Baptist and Catholic have a large following. Even the Marian Shrine of the Catholic, Oke-Maria is situated in Oka Akoko. Most of the Muslims in this place are actually non-indigenes, mostly Ebiras from Kogi State. Be guided please and stop spreading falsehood.

Senatordave1 is an ignorant Fulani herdsman who goes about supporting lies & lies. Don't mind him.

Rahyberg:
I don't want to comment before but I had to.
Can you prove to us why Ogun is predominantly full of Christians?.

You'll all sit at the comfort of your home and be peddling diluted and non-statistic facts.

Ogun state is divided into 3 sub ethnic groups.

Egba, Ijebu & Yewa.

Egba & Ijebu are Christian Majority (70%), while Yewa people are 50-50. Do the arithmetic for yourself!
It is impossible for muslims to be more in Ogun.

Not to talk of the development of Lagos into Ogun that has brought in more and more Christians from SE/SS extraction.

LivingSage:
Are you sniffing something lately? Okuta, patigi are majorly Christians? :
Lemme ask you, they're NUPE, are Nupe majorly Christians? No, so stop lying.
All those your wrong data about kwara, Ondo and Ekiti can only be believed by liars like you. meanwhile, MORO is just a village, the only town in kwara south with more Christian is Omu-aran so how can Christian be more in kwara south when Offa, Erin, ijagbo, Ajase, Omupo etc are Muslim towns?
You can only f.o.o.l. who are ready to accept your lies. Kwara is 30% Christian and 70% Muslim
[s][/s]

Why are u such a liar? Where did u put Ekiti & Oke-oro LGAs that are entirely Christian? (90% Christians)?

Kwara south has 7 LGAs and 4 are Christian majority! (Irepodun, Isin, Ekiti & Oke-oro), while Ifelodun, Offa & Oyun are muslim majority.

Nupes are majority Muslims, but Christians are a strong minority in Nupe land and they also dominate some towns and villages, even in Niger state, let alone Kwara state.

plantist:
But idiots like you do not see any thing wrong in the lopsidedness of the appointments in Ekiti, Ondo, Rivers, Delta States and others.

Oga, Indigenous muslims are non-existent in Rivers & Delta state. Can u mention one town or LGA in Rivers or Delta that is muslim majority?

In Ondo & Ekiti, Christians there are like 20% & 10%.

You cannot compare this with Kwara where Christians are up to 40%!
Only Ogun state u can compare with Kwara. Ogun is 35% Muslim and yet a Muslim has become governor. What can u say?
