Most Muslim countries banned Christmas celebrations, and I see that happening in Nigeria by next 30 years if Nigeria does not break

Those ones who celebrate Christmas on January 6, what is their problem?

Somalia, Tajikistan and North Korea are the only countries that have banned Christmas as stated in the map.

These are the Eastern Orthodox churches, Ethiopia is one of the most important, they have a slightly different Bible and recognize different dates

Inferiority complex @ play...

Why didn't you say Salah will be banned in the next 20yrs if naija did not disintegrate.

Where Christmas is celebrated are places of growth and development

The person is a bot, it won't reply you

It exists here solely to push an agenda

Dry land is where Christmas is not celebrated.

Those of uus in Ethiopia, will celebrate Christmas (Gana) in January (7th, I presume). New year is in September. Pretty confusing because it's 2018 here.😭

God bless Nigeria
God bless Nigeria

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day…

Ok. Wow. Very educative. Nice to know

The biggest festive period of the world. Nothing else come close. Take it to the bank.

Even young Chinese celebrate it. Their street and public place are light up.

Even Muslim celebrate it knowingly or unknowingly

That is not what the data says, they don't declare public and only few banned it. Truth be told!

Christmas is not banned in most Muslim countries. It is simply not a public holiday. Go to UAE, Qatar, Oman etc, you will see shopping malls decorated with Christmass trees, Santa replica etc.

The irony is that there is no country on earth where Salah celebration is banned... Jesus Christ came and preached LOVE...that's why in Christian dominated countries, no one is prohibited from practicing his religion openly. In Christian can change his religion at anytime, there is no penalty...but in the religion of peace, once you switch to another religion, the penalty is DEATH. While the Quran emphasizes freedom of religion ("no compulsion in religion"), Hadith literature contains verses like "whoever changes his religion, kill him"

Look at Nigeria carefully, not emotionally. One of the quiet forces shaping religious numbers isn’t preaching, miracles, or debates—it’s demography.
In many Muslim communities, polygamy is normal and accepted. One man, two, three, sometimes four wives. Naturally, that means more households, more children, more rapid multiplication. It’s not addition; it’s compound growth.
On the other hand, Christianity largely promotes monogamy—one man, one wife. Growth here is mostly by addition, not multiplication. Two parents, a few children, and that’s it.
So while Christians are often busy arguing doctrine, Muslims are quietly expanding their numbers at home. No noise. No controversy. Just biology and culture doing the work.
Does this mean Islam will “dominate” Christianity? Not automatically. Numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Education, urbanization, personal belief, and conversion still matter. But ignoring population dynamics is like ignoring the engine while arguing about the paint color.
It’s not an insult. It’s not fear-mongering. It’s just a conversation about reality.
And the uncomfortable truth is this:
Growth favors systems that multiply faster.
Whether Christianity responds with strategy, adaptation, or simply awareness—that’s another conversation entirely.

are you alright or something? at the least even you don't understand geography, you understand colours.

These are regions we need more of evangelists.

Does it mean if I am in Saudi Arabia, I cannot eat chicken and jollof rice in my house?

If you want to be merry on a Christmas day anywhere you find yourself, will anybody stop you?
