Mikehot:
It's not a tribal thing from Igbo though they bring it out

Ondo and Ekiti have a majority of christians

Osun and Oyo have a majority of Muslims

Ogun is a 50/50 blend

Lagos is 50/50

Essentially it's an even balance

Yoruba Muslims are always in the throat of the entire Yoruba race because they need to justify their Islamic loyalty to the fulanis who control Islam in Nigeria

They always need to go extra length, betray their race, sell out to be accepted by the superior Muslims (fulanis)

Non yorubas don't have problem with Yoruba as a tribe, rccg, winners, mountain of fire, deeper life etc are churches owned by yorubas excelling across east and south south more than the south west where Yoruba Muslims are 50%

For correction
Lagos is slight Muslim majority
Ogun is slight Christian majority

sangresan:


You're a dumbo like Akintola....There was nothing like Sharia Court in South Western Nigeria before the advent of colonialism..What we had were native courts..I don't know where Akintola got his information from.

It’s part of the propaganda to push Islamic agenda in Yoruba land

Asiri1991:





Wait oo. Are you are Yoruba? I've been on this forum for years and believe the Yoruba Muslim of a thing is just for tribal war from the Igbos. I never knew it's actually true that Christianity and Islam are 50/50 in the west. Since you confirmed this, it could be true that western governors are mostly Muslims too.

Yorubas don’t vote based on religion I’m using 50/50 as analogy !

Shariah law is dead on arrival in Yoruba land
For two reasons
A sizeable number of yoruba Muslims don’t believe in it
All Christain Yorubas will say no to it

So remember Yoruba land is roughly 50%-50% in religion
So once half of Muslims say no and the other 50% Christian says no that’s 75% saying no to shariah law
So it’s impossible

myobjective:


Don't mind him! That is their mode of Operandi.

Yoruba are the most liberal group in Nigeria. I remembered how I was allowed to stay in a Redeemed family house despite being a Muslim. The only thing my fellow Yoruba Christian needed was the fact that I'm Yoruba. Even though I categorically told them that I wouldn't take part in their worship and praises.
This event opened my eyes to Yoruba togetherness. Without that accommodation that year in PH I wouldn't be stranded when I went there for my NYSC.

I will always take my Yoruba brother first before any group. My ethnicity is a better bond than any monotheist religion I may have been born into.

Me too Yoruba first anytime even if we argue over this minor issues it’s all love

myobjective:


MURIC has no supporters even among Muslim Yorubas!

We don't listen to that blind man for guardians. He is only interested in his pocket.

If you say so I choose to believe you

OperationcowLeg:
96% of Osun State is Muslim Ah , lol, where did u get ur statistics from ?

I think the IPOB statistics have influenced some of our Muslim brothers looool

myobjective:


This your analysis doesn't reflect the reality on the ground but the question is why does it matter what demography of follower of both religions is more?

Who has carried out any census to determine what faith has the largest follower?

Religion will continue to play the second fiddle in the life of the Yorubas no matter how hard extremist from both religions tries.

I'm from a town with a predominantly Muslim population and will still have relatives that are Christians. Live and let live is the true Omoluabi ethos. Religions will always play second fiddle no matter how hard the Pentecostal churches and Salafist element tries.

That’s how it should be ideally but MURIC is disturbing everyone
Accusing Christians of discrimination
Abusing Yorùbá Christian governors and using sentiments to attack them

BeansAndBread:
I agree with your assertions about Ogun State, however, it's not a majority Christian State. More like 50/50

Stop deceiving it’s a Christian majority state Simple
From Sagamu
Even Ijebu has a major Christian population
All the rich men in Ijebu are Christians
Egba Shagamu

There’s no state in Yoruba land with 80% Muslim population oyo and osun are not 80% Muslims
Even kwara isn’t
But there are 3 zones with 80% Christian population in Yoruba land and that’s a fact Ondo Ekiti and Kogi
Deal with it

BeansAndBread:


Una no get sense Wallāhi, and it's this that annoy me about Yorùbá Christians. Y'all are hypocrites, you claim we're one and the same yet you find ways to frustrate our lives, this same hypocrites that pull Hijab from Muslim kids are the same people that have Muslims in their families. Why not demand the Muslims in your family should stop wearing the Hijab?

Those schools in Kwara are no Christian schools they are owned and funded by the state govt, and if it weren't for the peaceful nature and docility of Yorùbá Muslims, Ilorin would be in crisis by now. Ansarudeen in Ilorin has Christians students and never have the Muslims forced the Christians to wear the hijab, I challenge you to disprove me.

This same Christians in Oyo, Osun and other Lagos fight our Hijabs in Public schools, they refused to register a sister for Jamb because she refused to remove her Hijab, another Yorùbá Christian removed the Hijab of kids outside the school premises after school hours and then embarrassed them on assembly grounds. This is the Christians that would now come to cry how Muslims are violent!



I told you, they can play their politics, it's not your concern. If Yorùbá Muslims come together and select a tapa or kannike, it's not your concern. In case you don't know, the kingmakers in Ilorin are 75% Yorùbás not Fulani or Gambari and they can choose to take charge anytime.



The original inhabitants of Lagos are Muslims, stop this rhetorics of being majority Christian. Yeebhoes and other tribes being around doesn't mean the Christians are more, if you wanna mention immigrants, I'd mention the northerners therein too. Those are wealthy families and they can choose to enter politics

Many of these families are returned slaves!

Ojora , Ogboro & Agbeje are now a slave descendants

What a wow and hot pot of lies

As for the hijab lies im not even joining issue
All I know is no Shari’ah in Yoruba land
You don’t have the numbers to enforce it and you will have to deal with it

Even in Lagos state with 86% Muslim law makers i dare Tinubu to declare Islamic holiday like they did in oyo and osun and you will see if it won’t end his reign in Lagos state

There’s a reason he’s consistently mingles with pastors
He knows LAGOs RESIDENTS are majority Christian

BeansAndBread:


Let them try and deny our women Hijab first and you'd see what would happen!



That's why you pull Hijab from our children abi? Or you are always in our necks everytime concerning Hijabs? Oppressing Muslim kids and denying them their rights whilst claiming victims. It's sad Yorùbá Muslims are docile!



Nobody is attacking you, if that's the case, there wouldn't be peace in Yorùbaland. Ilorin is a Muslim town and there are people of different origins, albeit the majority are Yorùbá Muslims. They can play their politics anyhow they like, it concerns you. Some towns in Yorùbá land have single families becoming Oba and they relegate other families, it's none of your concern

It’s only in Christian schools and private schools they enacted such laws because Muslims are known for demanding for the most and contributing the least

If Ilorin Yoruba can play their politics the way they wish
Then let Yoruba play there politics the way they wish amd stop disturbing us with Jihad

Also why are indigenous Lagos Christian not properly represented in Lagos politics ?

The Agbajes , Otedolas & co , Fernendez, Okoya Thomas , The Ojoras , The Georges, The Alakijas & Pedros despite majority of Lagos residents being Christians

Are they not Yoruba enough

BeansAndBread:
Load of crap, the Ijebus are majority Muslims and they even have an event after every big eid, egbas is slight Muslim majority. Notice I'm not giving figures, stop chunking our figures you can't back.

Otedola family are Muslims, the father of Femi Otedola was one of the unfortunate Muslims who were made to convert to christianity before being educated. This is one of the wickedness Yorùbá Christians and missionaries perpetuated on the Muslims, requiring that we convert before we're educated. Today, other branches of the Otedola's are Muslims!

The Christians in egba land are mostly descendants of returned slaves and they aren't much, I'm never said Ogun is overwhelming majority Muslim but it is a majority Muslim. The Ijebus accepted islam when many Chiefs such as Balogun Kuku embraced Islam, there's a large Muslim minority in Ekiti and Ondo States and that's why I cap it at 30%!

All the ruling kings of egba are Christians
Alake
Ibara
Tejuosho

Even Amosun knows this hence the first Muslim governor to ever rule the state

No amount of islam history can change the fact that Ogun is a Christian majority state


Islam came first but Christianity took over r

Barre in mind the converts to Christians are still Christians so Ogun is not majorly Muslim sorry
Even the next governor after Abiodun will be a Christian

Alake was already in Uk accepting bible lol

BeansAndBread:

Some of you talk rubbish, don't claim victory on the Hijab issue because we now wear our Hijabs and even our women now wear niqab. If dem born una well, make una go commot am. The Ilorin saga, Muslim kids now wear hijab to that same school in case you don't, wake up from your slumber.

Ilorin Fulanis didn't make the Emir, it was the Muslim community who came together to elect the Emir. Do you know the palace personal guards of the emir are Ijesha Muslims who volunteered to protect the Emir?

Yorùbáland isn't 99% Muslim but there's a large Muslim population and we want Shari'ah for our affairs in our land. Shari'ah doesn't concern you, it is for Muslims and the Quran made that clear!

Your missing the point
Ondo and Ekiti can afford to say no to hijab
But they allowed it ! And it’s 99% Christians It’s concession since we believe we are one and I don’t think we want a society based of religious discrimination


Yoruba christains are not in the business of policing what any adult chooses to wear It’s Muslims known for doing that

As for Ilorin saga
Towns like Iwo oyo have a Muslim majority and still select Yoruba Muslim Obas
Are Ilorin Yorubas not worth enough to be emirs and it must be sultan a Fulani that will tell you who to rule you
But send you to come and attack your Yoruba Christain counterparts

BeansAndBread:


What's wrong with you guys sef? Did I mention anything about Northern Nigeria? Yorùbá land had Shari'ah in the past before many areas in the North, we Muslims want Shari'ah to judge between our matters!



Did I deny this? I only stated we need Shari'ah courts to judge our matters, how can issues of inheritance, divorce, waqf etc be judged by secular courts in our own land?



There's already extremism in Yorùbaland but Muslims like you are too blind to see, you always want to please the Christians and that's why they don't respect you or your rights. That's why they'll pull Hijab from the heads of your children outside school premises because they know we have odes that call themselves Yorùbá Muslims. How can you tell me, I can't judge by Shari'ah in my own land? You must be crazy!

Be rest assured any attempts to introduce shariah in Yoruba land will religiously divide the society in a way not seen before
The Christian community has conceded to Muslim/Christian ticker and hijab in public spaces
Pls let the Ilorin Fulanis allow a Yoruba emir
Yorubas are not a 99% Muslim tribe so there’s no way in hell Shari’ah law will rain supreme
Yoruba culture does not even support it
I’m sure a lot of yoruba Muslims will say No to it

BeansAndBread:
The rate at which you yoruba Christians chunk out stats is mind-blowing, Ogun state is a slight majorly Muslims. Ijebus are majorly Muslims, egbas are split and aworis has slight Muslim majority. Ekiti and Ondo are majority Christian but Muslims would number around 30% if not more.

The indigenes of Lagos aren't fairly split, they majority Muslims, 85% of traditional rulers and lawmakers are Muslims. Lagos has always had many Muslims even before colonial times, Lagos having Muslims doesn't mean there are no Christian indigenes! Apart from Ilorin that fought against missionary activities in Yorùbá land, Lagos was the next!

I will attach a list of Ogun monarchs here
Bare in mind Oba sikkru is the first Muslim Ijebu Oba in a while his predecessor was a Christain

As for Lagos I repeat under Tinubu there as been an over representation of Muslims in Lagos politics
Simple

The likes of Otedolas and the numerous Lagos Christian family are not well represented in Lagos politics

Those are the kings in Ogun state and its Christain !
Egba is to Christianity what iwo is to Islam

It’s called the GATEWAY state for a reason
The gateway of Christianity and there’s a reason those churches HQ in Ogun state

T. M. C
Lagos 2,000,000 1,200,000 800,000
Ogun 5,000,000 1,750,000 3,250,000
Oyo 9,000,000 5,400,000 3,600,000
Osun 5,000,000 2,600,000 2,400,000

32,600,000 13,306,000 19,294,000


Muslims in Ondo and Ekiti are not up to 30% that’s why a Christian Christian ticket will always win

The Yoruba Christain majority status is powered by Ondo Ekiti and kogi who embrace Christianity 100%

There are also loads of Muslim converts to Christianity
Who have full Muslim parents


If you take out kwara and kogi
The distance is even worse
It’s 61% Christians 39% Islam and the rest

NaijirianKing:
It is actually a fact that Muslims are the silent majority in many states in the SW region, it is just that it is not widely publicized. Otherwise, how can many of the governors and state representatives be majority Muslims and the population not also be Muslims?

This was recently covered here:
https://businesspost.ng/general/muslims-form-majority-of-south-wests-population-muric/

Islam is the world's fastest growing religion and eventually it will be undeniable.

MURIC is your source loooool
Pls come with something more tangible

That’s because Yorubas don’t vote on religious lines
In oyo state there’s also Christian over representation despite not being 90% christin


The population of indigenous lagosians are not even up to 2M

Juliusmalema:



What is wrong there? He is like the bishop of all Muslims.

More he serves as head to all Muslim families in Nigeria.

Yoruba land will never be a Fulani leadership
Get that into your head
Worst case Yoruba land will vote based on religious lines amd you don’t have the number to impose your will on an entire state even Oyo and Osun with Muslim population is not 80% islam

Juliusmalema:



If majority of lawmakers in Lagos are muslims then it means Muslims are of greeter population in Yorubaland.

The christian population you have in Lagos are other ethnicities residing there...who may vote or decide not to vote..... giving way to the Indigenous Muslims population.

Infact this your statement shows that Yorubas were never originally christians but Muslims..

False statements
Point is yoruba Christians in Lagos are not being religious aware
Cause if they vote based on religion
Apc will be out even Tinubu knows it
So continue with the threat
It’s only oyo and osun I can’t vouch for

Has for Lagos Ogun Ondo Ekiti kogi yoruba
It’s a Christiandom

Why do you Tinubu returned the schools to church when when they demanded for it loool unlike in kwara
Also a Christain governor was installed immediately the christin community demanded for it
Looool why do you think they can’t demand for Islamic new year like they did in osun and oyo
So they will also vote using religious line

BeansAndBread:
If Muslims make up the majority of the lawmakers and traditional rulers in Lagos, that's should tell you that the indigenes of Lagos are majority Muslims my Yorùbá Christian brother

Yorùbá Muslims are majority in Kwara, Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos. Ondo and Ekiti are the only states with clear majority Christian, Ogun state has slightly higher Muslims

Majority of traditional rulers in Ogun are Christians
The numbers in oyo and osun are fairly split
In Ondo and Ekiti it’s 90% Christians 10% Islam
Kogi yoruba 90% Christians

The indigenes in Lagos of fairly split but under 1999 it has favoured the Muslims at the expense of the Christain hence they called for a Sanwo olu cayse if Lagos is to voted based on religion they will be out of power

So as you about to remove the gullibility of Muslims elsewhere
Be rest assured an equal dose will be served to you in Lagos where there’s an over representation of Muslims in politics

Ikinternational:


muslims are docile abi.

nairaland has some award winning liars

Let them continue they will know it’s the Christians that are docile when they vote based on religious lines

motayoayinde:


ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU TYPED HERE IS FALSE.

NOW LET'S ANALYSE THE RELIGIOUS DEMOGRAPHICS OF YORUBA-SPEAKING PEOPLE OF NIGERIA CAREFULLY AND IN TRUTH.

LAGOS: THE INDEGINOUS PEOPLE OF LAGOS STATE ( Epe, Awori, Ikorodu, and Lagos Islanders are predominantly Muslims)
ITS STATUS AS THE MELTING POT OF ALL TRIBES AND FAITHS (mostly non-Yoruba southerners) SEEMS TO BE THE REASON YOU'RE CLAIMING A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY MEDAL FOR IT.

OYO: THIS STATE IS PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM NO DOUBT. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY MAJOR TOWN IN OYO (apart from Ogbomoso which appears evenly split between the two faiths) THAT HAS A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY.

KWARA: THE YORUBA-SPEAKING POPULATION OF KWARA IS ALSO PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM. EVEN THE IGBOMINA PEOPLE PUT TOGETHER, HAVE MORE MUSLIMS THAN CHRISTIANS

OSUN: OSUN CLEARLY ALSO HAS MORE MUSLIMS THAN CHRISRIANS NO DOUBT. THE ONLY TWO MAJOR TOWNS HERE WITH A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY ARE IFE AND ILESHA. THE ONLY TOWN IN WESTERN NIGERIA SAID TO HAVE EVER IMPLEMENTED THE SHARIAH LAW, "IWO" IS IN OSUN.

KOGI: THIS STATE IS NOT A YORUBA STATE BUT IT HAS PREDOMINANCE OF MUSLIMS, CONTRARY TO YOUR CLAIM.
THE THREE MAJOR TRIBES IN KOGI ARE IGALA, EBIRA AND OKUN, IN ORDER OF SIZE.
THE SMALLEST AMONG THE THREE IS THE OKUN, SOME OF WHOM IN FACT CLAIM NOT TO BE YORUBA.
THEY HAVE MORE CHRISTIANS THAN MUSLIMS THOUGH BUT ARE NOT A LARGE GROUP.

OGUN: THE THREE MAJOR GROUPS IN OGUN (according to dialect) ARE IJEBU, EGBA AND YEWA AND ALL ARE MORE MUSLIM THAN CHRISTIAN.
IN SPITE OF THE CONVERSIONS FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY SEEN IN THESE AREAS, THERE'S STILL A MUSLIM PREDOMINANCE.

EKITI AND ONDO: THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO STATES IN THE SOUTHWEST WITH A CHRISTIAN MAJORITY.
EKITI HOWEVER IS THE LEAST POPULATED AMONG THE SIX S/W STATES. IN FACT THE POPULATION OF OYO STATE IS ROUGHLY THE SAME AS THOSE OF EKITI AND ONDO PUT TOGETHER (check the 2016 population estimates of Nigeria), AND OYO IS PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM

NOTE: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YORUBA PEOPLE (mostly Muslims) WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE NORTH FOR GENERATIONS AND WHO READILY IDENTIFY AS YORUBA.

Clever by half statistics
The numbers of indigenous Lagosians are not up to 2m
And they are fairly split even though you see a lot of Muslim dominance in Lagos politics courtesy Tinubu

Ogun state
Is majority Christian but not outright dominance more like 60/40 egba Sagamu Yewa iganmu are outright Christians

Oyo / Osun
Both have a Muslim majority however it’s more spilt in osun than oyo and it’s not outright dominance

Kwara yoruba
Majority Muslim with sizeable christin community especially kwara south

Kogi west
Majorly christains like 87%

Ekiti
Yes they are not a lot but they are more than lagosians and are 90% Christians. Indigenous Lagosians can’t boast of 90% Islam

Ondo - 90% Christian

The outright dominance of Christain in Ondo and Ekiti make Yoruba a majorly Christian group
Also more Muslims have converted to Christianity than vice versa



Yorubas are fairly split in the north I a Christian grew up in Kano
Yoruba Muslims will never have the same benefits like Hausa who are 99%
Yoruba is a fairly split so we have to manage it

BeansAndBread:
This is the problem with Yorùbá Christians, they think they can continue to play on the docility of the Muslims. I'm a Yorùbá Muslim and I want Shari'ah to be judge of our matters and we not backing down. The era of gullibility is over!

Pele the gullibility of Lagos Christain residents will soon be open
When they start voting based on religious lines and remove the majority Muslim in house of assembly that doesn’t reflect the population make up of the state

https://www.lagoshouseofassembly.gov.ng/meet-our-members/

Explain why Lagos has 75% Muslim lawmakers when Muslims are not up to 30% of state population

Ogun Christians will also follow
The only states with Muslim population is oyo and osun and it’s not outright dominance

Saying Egba is majority Muslim is like saying iwo is majority Christian

BeansAndBread:
Why can't we Muslims have Shari'ah to cater for our issues? What's wrong with you Christians sec?

Not the one under a Fulani ruler
Under Odua republic we can do it
Worst case Yorubas can create 3 government one for Christians and traditional and Muslims
Tax generated by each faithfuls can be used to do as they wish I think that’s fine for anyone

Juliusmalema:
I love that

That true definition of sophistication.

Even Osun state, Oyo and Ogun needs needs sharia law as of present to carter for the increasing yoruba Muslims population...

What is the essence of having sharia in Kano when it can't be replicated in Osun that shares same faith and are almost 96% Muslims...

Of which Ogun is not predominantly Muslim its Christain

Juliusmalema:


So it is now a crime to commend what I feel is good for the people.

Setting sharia court will effectively carter for the Muslims population.

I have Always been in support of Oduduwa republic, infact in Oduduwa republic Lagos State can now have the Special Status recognition it has been crying for so long.

Only in Oduduwa republic will such ever be possible

Sharia courts in Yoruba land under Nigeria is impossible cause that’s handing over Yoruba land to sultan of sokoto

35824L:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the overwhelming favourite to succeed PMB among the northern elite. And where the northern elite goes, their masses follow. Jagaban Borgu 2023 is a done deal. The Muslim/Muslim ticket that won MKO the presidency in '93 will be re-enacted in 2023. The North and SW winning formula shall be brought to the fore again.

No Muslim Muslim ticket pls
Nigeria is 50/50 and it’s leadership must reflect just that
Hope 93 is gone

Let him get a Christian VP from north

No problem kwara is Muslim majority they can even convert all the churches to mosques

All the best with MURIC coming to SW to champion hijab right
The game plan don clear
Hijab first school take over second

The Lagos political scene may be dominated by Muslims doesn’t make Lagos a predominantly Muslim state and what is the population of indegeniosu Yoruba lagosians they are minority in Lagos state and are less in number compared to Ekiti why do you think

Majority of Ogun is Muslim is the joke of the year why do you think Amosun is the first Muslim governor ever what Iwo is to Muslim is what Abeokuta is to Christain
It’s not a coincidence churches are headquartered in Ogun state and it’s called the GATEWAY state

As for oyo and osun our analysis are the same it’s fairly split however for the sake of argument let’s say oyo is Muslim majority it’s not an outright dominance like how Ogun is not an outright dominance

As for kogi state I was referring to the Yorubas there which who outright Christian majority

The Yorubas in the north are mostly from kogi and kwara so both Christians and Muslims are existence

The only state with outright Muslim population is Kwara and it’s not part of SW
but Kogi Ondo and Ekiti have at least 80% Christian population which no Yoruba state can boast of having such in terms of numbers of Muslims

princepalace:
muslims dont have monopoly of violent, the christians, this time around are battle ready for chaos just to protect our heritage. if the state government insists on hijab wearing, we shall remove all the roofing sheets of the school buildings, if possible set them on fire even pulling the buildings down. it is the buildings that is causing fight, since they are no more and it shall remain so for years. we dont mind to start from the scratch, and this time around, we shall start as private schools. let the muslims start ember of war.

That’s the best solution blow up those schools
Those lazy ile kewu Muslims should go and build it over Gaia.

slivertongue:


nobody is contesting ur right to use hijab but do it in govt and non faith based school. Christians ain't naked people and have morals and academic attainment than Muslim girls. what makes kwara a Muslim state and others are not Christian state? what about saying crude oil is a Christian resources and so kwara should look for Muslims resources. we promote unnecessary tension in the name of religion, just return mission schools simple. what about if Christian states cease Muslim schools and turn it to a public school, how wud u feel?

Leave them let them use their numbers to suppress Christians
We are waiting for them in areas where Christians outnumber Muslims which is vast of yoruba land
