Even so many Christians do not celebrate it so why will you force it in Muslims?

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

Including Israel check very well

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.

The story of Lebanon should easily answer this. It was a majority Christian country until less than 60 years ago. Its capital, Beirut, used to be called Paris of the Middle East. See where it is today.

When you put your mouth on a topic you don't even understand. The map is there clean and clear and someone still have this to say.

What about your beloved Israel? Is it a Public holiday there too or not?

Where Christmas is observed are greenish symbolizing fruitfulness. On the contrary, other colours represent doom, confusion, and extremism.

If only conversations can be as intelligent yet civil as this, the world might be a much better place for us all.

It’s part of their topmost agenda.

yomi531:
Dem no born anybody Papa to ban Christmas for Naija. I repeat , nobody Papa fit try am in the next 100 years.

Some of you kids should always try to listen to the words of wisdom from your elders. He said 30 years, but if not for Trump's recent attention to Nigeria and probably we are reliant on wishful thought like yours, it may not exceed next 15 years before it becomes a reality.

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

Hatred don blind the werey

datola:
Where Christmas is celebrated are places of growth and development

Like Nigeria, India and Kenya? 🤡

Eeyahhhhh! Because Christians don't rule Nigeria. Because Christians don't form majority of the Tinubu's cabinet members from the south. Oh, I have forgot! Genocide is currently going on against Nigerian Christians like there was a bomb blast that killed many people on the eve of Christmas

This is what happens when people don't read very well but rush to comment.

Stop the yeye false Alarm. C'mon, we have the largest Christian population in Africa. Even sultan as president no fit try am. Spare me that crap joor.
Note: We have over 100 million Christians in Nigeria. One of the highest Christian population in the whole wide world 🌎.

Unfortunately, Nigeria isnt a Muslim Country

Let them keep breeding. The more they breed, the more their children convert to Christianity.

Why do you lie to yourself so brazenly?
Baby daddy and baby mamma are epidemics in most western countries. Islam focuses on family and family values unlike what you see in most Christian homes where they have indiscriminate sex and produce children who have no idea who their real father are.

Many Christian sisters get pregnant for the same man or fathers impregnating their own children

lol…I no sure say this Uruguay correct ooo…

So how many have converted or seen converted ?

Biodun556:

Israel would ban Christianity too cause they are mostly Jewish and Christianity disgust a good number of them

As an M&E professional with experience across multiple facilities, this is no longer a matter of opinion but evidence.
Christians may appear to have more “baby mamas,” but many of these women would likely be married in an Islamic setting. Because Christianity largely practices monogamy, fewer women get married, leading to more births outside wedlock.
Islam permits up to four wives, not counting divorce and remarriage, which naturally increases marriage coverage and fertility. In practice, Muslim women also tend to have higher parity—on average nearly double that of Christian women. This is consistent with facility data.
In programs like AP3 Amplified, we often counsel Muslim women on family planning, sometimes discreetly providing methods like Sayana, Depo, or Implanon when spousal consent is an issue.
This is data, not bias. Once emotion enters a factual discussion, learning stops.

Don't breed, be waiting for Muslim converts, u go fizzle out with time

I doubt it if up to 10% Nigerian Christians are aware of that

Somalia is a Coursed country

Lol 😂
I know Christians who don't only disapprove Christmas,they consider it as idolatry because it has no basis in Christianity.

Na him another person wan give himself heart attack on top wetin some people go decide in the next 30yrs.

Delusion at its peak!

maasoap:

People perish or turn to clowns because they don't read. Israel have never been a Christian country as a matter of fact, Christians are only about 2% of the total population of Israel

Millions!

Raf4:
Millions!

😂 Yu are delusional
