WhizdomXX:
The Boss, I beg to differ. Igbos in Warri, Ughelli and Sapele outnumber Yorubas. I speak as a Deltan.

Have you done a proper census? Igbos stay in markets and are therefore more conspicuous while Yoruba are more of artisans, professionals and etc. Take a section of the city, places of work, churches, school attendance and etc and do a small census and then publish it. I am not saying it is not possible though but do a research and publish it. School is where everybody converge.

If course Muslims outnumber Christians in Nigeria. Nigerians largely vote on religious/ethnic interests. I said largely not wholly. Of course there are exceptions. But election in many cases reflect demographics.
If you believe Christians are more in number in Nigeria please tell any Christian candidate (e.g Obi) to pick a Christian running mate and watch how it will end!

Nobody can be sure of which is more unless you count. Many people have pointed out that Awo would have won with a Christian Christian ticket had Azikiwe not contested. A Northern Christian with Southern Christian vice can win elections in the country. So there is no finality on the matter. NW is highly populated and it is majority Muslim. That is the only edge and against that SS and SE are almost entirely Christian. SW and NW are like half of the population and between them it will be majority Muslim, NC, NE, SS and SE together will throw up majority Christian. So unless you count, you can not know for sure

Where's the genocide?

Point it out please, with facts and statistics.

In Nigeria, the term "genocide" is frequently used by advocacy groups and some international political figures to describe the mass killings and displacement of predominantly Christian farming communities in the North-Central (Middle Belt) and parts of Northern Nigeria. While mainstream international bodies like the UN often classify these as "terrorist insurgencies" or "communal conflicts," monitoring groups have documented high-casualty figures and systematic patterns of violence.
Key Statistics (2009 – 2025)
Total Christian Deaths: Estimates vary, but major reports cite between 50,000 and 125,000 Christians killed since the insurgency began in 2009.
Recent Lethality (2025): Approximately 7,000 Christians were reported killed in 2025 alone, averaging roughly 30 to 35 deaths per day.
Global Context: Nigeria accounted for roughly 72% of all Christians martyred worldwide between October 2024 and September 2025.
Destruction of Property: Over 19,000 churches and Christian schools have been attacked or destroyed since 2009.
Displacement: Between 3.5 million and 5 million Nigerians are internally displaced due to extremist violence.
Primary Actors & Regional Impact
The violence is driven by a mix of ideological and economic factors across different regions:
Boko Haram & ISWAP (North East): These groups primarily target state actors and moderate Muslims, but also engage in the systematic kidnapping and execution of Christians who refuse to convert.
Fulani Militants (North Central/Middle Belt): Often cited as the most lethal actor against farming communities, these groups are responsible for more than half of the documented Christian civilian deaths. In June 2025, a single massacre in Yelwata village, Benue State, resulted in over 200 deaths.
Banditry (North West): While often driven by economic motives like illegal mining and cattle rustling, these groups have increasingly coordinated with jihadist affiliates, such as IS-Sahel, making attacks more lethal.
International and Legal Status
Global Terrorism Index (GTI): Nigeria ranked 6th globally in the 2025 GTI due to the high impact of terrorism.
U.S. Designation: In November 2025, Nigeria was designated a "Country of Particular Concern" by the U.S. government due to ongoing religious persecution.
Genocide Watch: The organization Genocide Watch has issued a "Genocide Emergency" for Nigeria, describing the situation as a "killing field".
Conflict Drivers
Factor Description
Ideology Systematic religious cleansing and forced conversions by Boko Haram and ISWAP.
Resource Scarcity Desertification driving northern herders into southern farmlands, leading to violent land disputes.
Criminality Kidnapping-for-ransom and illegal gold mining funding arms purchases for extremist groups.

Say I agree with you that it's not a genocide, what do you call the killings?

lawani:
Check NIN registration data.

Edit

I have checked again. The NW is more than double the NE but the combination of NE and NC is around ten percent more than the NW.

Thank you but this means North Central is more populated than North East?
Hmmm, interesting.

About the market own, you got me for Ughelli and Warri this were my main mode of statistic. Among the professionals in Warri and Sapele, Yorubas are more.
But for Ughelli because Delta igbos are many here too) I am willing to put my money down, if not for the whole 3 cities.

WhizdomXX:

I'll call them killings.

That's all

Muslims are disproportionately the victims of bandits, ISWAP and boko haram precisely because these criminals operate largely in the Northwest and Northeast.

I don't know how victims killed in Kebbi, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Gombe, Zamfara, Kaduna, Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, and Sokoto are now suddenly Christians. Yes, there are killings occasionally in Benue and Plateau, but these are just 2 states. And in Plateau, there's no systematic killing of people because of religion: it's about land and farming and grazing, with endless reprisals between the actors. In Benue, even intra-communal and inter-ethnic killings are tagged as Jihadism.

While not downplaying the unjustified killings of christians in parts of the middle belt, the majority of murders occur in Muslim-dominated states in the North and this fact is indisputable. Besides, the criminals don't even discriminate and attack everyone they can get their hands on


Check the photos of the latest Kwara victims: it's a mix of Muslims and Christians.

So I ask again: where's the genocide against Christians?

The genocide is bring perpetrated by Islamic terrorists who scream allahu akbar, alhamdullilah while killing people and threaten to introduce a more radical version of Islam. Don't you see the lines. It's a genocide against Christains and less radical Muslims why should a Christain be killed for such and you just term it killings,
It's a jihad, if not a genocide. I'm sad that you don't see the error in just calling it killings. Sadly, many hypocritical Muslims don't want to come out to criticize it, instead their criticism is on Christains who call it a genocide when they themselves are being killed more disproportionately, like it's a battle of who is dying more! May Jesus heal your soul.

You should care cos two wrongs don’t make a right. Religion is the problem here.

maasoap:
Does it matter? Should we care? The whole of South East Christians also proved to us that they are ethnic bgots by giving Obi 100% of their entire votes. And they equally remind us that they are religious bgots too by threatening Muslims among them and also saying that no one can practise Islam in south east

They shout Allahu Akbar even when killing Muslims. It simply means "God is great". Saying it doesn't automatically make it a genocide, nor a jihad. They even yell it when burning vehicles.

If they introduce a more radical version of Islam in the northern states, then it's the Muslims who'll still largely be under their yoke. Except if your argument still suggests that Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna, Adamawa, Yobe are all Christian states.

You also have not explained how it's a genocide or jihad against Christians when the victims are in Muslim-dominated states. I don't understand how that math works. They attack people in mosques....yet it's a genocide against Christians. They attack people in livestock markets...yet it's a genocide against Christians.

In the last 2 months of near-daily attacks how many occurred in Plateau or Benue or any part of the south?

You people cannot concoct a tale out of thin air and expect anyone to fall for it. Just because the unhinged Trump is playing to the gallery pretending to give a hoot about Christians doesn't make your stories true. Many Christians are being slaughtered in South Sudan but Trump doesn't care.

You see what I mean then? Despite the fact that Igbos control a senatorial district in Delta state, Delta towns and cities can still not be said to clearly have more Igbos than Yorubas.

I don't think the first lady made this statement.

We have thrashed this on X(twitter), we don't have more Muslims than Christians but the other way round.

Among the Yoruba in southwest, a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket at state or national level may not matter because of religious tolerance, plurality and freedom.

There are 36 states in Nigeria and FCT.

NORTH

States with Muslim majority in the North : Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Yobe,

States with Muslim majority but with significant Christian population above 25% : Gombe, Niger, Kwara

Christian dominated states : Benue, Taraba, Plateau
States with more balanced population of Christian and Muslim(i.e. you need census to know actual figures): Adamawa, Nasarawa, Kogi ,Kaduna.

SOUTH

States with Christian dominated population are : Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, River, Akwa- Ibom, Cross River, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra

States with more balanced population of Christian and Muslim(i.e. you need census to know actual figures) : Osun, Oyo

States with Christian domination but with significant Muslim population: Ogun, Lagos

Note:

For the Muslim dominated states of Bauchi, Borno and Kebbi there are at least over 15% Christians who are indigenous of those states.

There is no way Muslims can be more, the argument has always been the population of the Northwest region with dominant Muslim population which will collapse in the face of biometric enabled census.
Even with the estimated census based on the 2006, Christians would be more.

Talking about biometrics enabled census, the most populous state in the north by far is Kano which may be around 14million people, this is less than the number of Christians in Lagos and at least 10% of that are Christians and they have small indigenous Christian population. Kaduna that is next say 9millionhas over over 40% Christians. This leaves Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Bauchi, Yobe and Borno as the Muslim dominated states.

Logically, there is no way Muslims can be in majority and I do hope someday, a biometric enabled census will happen and the outcome will shock many.

How is Osun not Christian dominated when more than half of Osun are from Ijesa and Ife? Where is the population in Osun outside Ijesa and Ife? If no allocations then majority of Osun revenue will come from Ijesa and Ife.

Sapele, igbos will still be more.
For Warri, the oil and gas sector skewed it in the professional aspect(more Yorubas in o & g), but of the population that reside in Warri, igbos will still be more overall, I'm quite sure. Also, many Yorubas here are usually half itsekiri too.

Because Muslims are more does not justify the decision of her husband to take a Muslim candidate as vice president.

WhizdomXX:

Obviously yes. How many known cities in Kano of 20 million people? Only metropolitan Kano and the population is not up to 5 million. Compare with Oyo state that has Ibadan, Ogbomosho and Oyo as big cities

Is Nigeria a Christian country before

lawani:
Osun is majority Christian. More than half of the population is in Ife Ijesa and the zone is majority Christian. The other zones still have Christians. In the nineteenth century there were many Muslims in Yoruba land but nowadays we have more Christians including hundreds of thousands bearing Muslim names. The SW is clearly majority Christian nowadays. The NC too is majority Christian. Benue, Plateau and Kogi are mainly Christian with Benue and Plateau almost 100 percent The NW will struggle to have ninety percent Muslim because of Kaduna while the NE may have a slight majority of Muslim. The SE and SS are more than ninety percent Christian. However the NW population maybe up to the NE and NC combined while the SW population is also up to SE and SS combined.

40% of SW is Muslim, 55% of north central is muslims.65% of ne

Eriokanmi:
It's a lie from the pit of helll. Oyo state is 40% Muslim. Facts are there. Osun is 47%. Ekiti Muslims are less than 3%, Ondo is 5% cos the akoko people constitute the highest number of Muslims in Ondo state. Lagos is of course a Christian dominated state. Ogun is 40% Muslim but some argued its less. Only in kwara you have up to 65% as Muslim.

In all the above, we don't discriminate when it comes to leadership.

Oyo is 60% Muslims, osun 55%. Lagos 35%

lawani:
Ijesa are the largest group in Osun state and they are more than eighty percent Christian. Ife Ijesa though a single senatorial district has over half of the Osun population and there is still significant Christian population in other zones. Osun will be close to 70 percent Christian. Ekiti and Ondo will be the same thing while Ogun and Oyo will be split almost equally. Among Lagos indigenes I agree Muslims may be more but Lagos don't have as much indigenes as even Ekiti state. The Yoruba in Lagos are up to ninety percent from other SW states and they will reflect the percentages in those states
Christianity is new to Yoruba land and Islam has been around for more than 500 years. I agree with that but somehow they guarded the space from being taken over by Islam. No significant Muslim monarch that I know of in the nineteenth century apart from in Iwo and Ilorin.

The North Central has majority Christian but you are right that the western part have majority Muslim but the difference is slight. In Benue and Plateau they have majority Christian and the difference is huge. Kogi though ruled by Muslims is clearly majority Christian. The local government chairmen are majority Christian

Nicely put. The Ebiras of Kogi however are overwhelmingly Muslims although I have a couple of very brilliant Ebiras associates that I have known for over 50 years now who are NOT Muslims. The Igalas also have a significant number of Muslims. However the Kogi State Yorubas (Okuns) are LARGELY adherents of Ifa and Christianity. I've never seen or heard of even one Muslim among the Okuns.

Just to add my thoughts on the religious inclinations of Yoruba folks in the 1800s, in my many decades of studyinh advanced archival materials on Yoruba history of the last 500 years (from books such as the "History of the Yorubas" by Reverend Samuel Johnson who is Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's cousin via Alaafin Abiodun of the Oyo Empire), Balogun Oderinlo of Ibadan who was one of the MOST respected Ibadan military commanders that defeated the combined Fula attack in 1830 (there were also Ilorin Yoruba and Hausa Muslims who took part in the attack on Osogbo), was actually a practicing Muslim. It is to the credit of people such as Balogun Oderinlo that many of his fellow Yoruba Muslims stood up to fight the Fula invaders of Yorubaland and defeated them conclusively. The brave Yoruba warriors of Ibadan also defeated the foreign Fula bandits at Otun-Ekiti and they never attempted to attack the Yoruba interior again.

I like the way you broke down your analyses here.

However, British Colonial population censuses and demographic distribution of Nigerians at my disposal from the late 1800s to 1973 CLEARLY show that Muslims have always been more than Christians. INFACT the adherents of the different indigenous religions spread in the West of Nigeria (Ifa) and the Middle Belt were far MORE than the Christians as of the 1950s.

The Christians are just a new religion in Nigeria. Islam has been in Yorubaland for over 500 years now.

There were already Muslims in Ekiti as of the 1800s but Ekiti is still largely NOT Muslim as of today same with Ondo State.

Moneyyman:
Do you see how stupid this sounds?

You are essentially saying that the Muslims (mostly the northern Muslims) won't vote e or Christian VP, especially if he's from the North!!!

That means the decision is not political but driven by religious bigotry!

See how stupid her explanations sounds.

Hypocrisy is when you expect Hausas to present a Northern Christian when Igbos have never presented an Igbo Muslim for presidency

The biggest religious bigotry happened in the south east when Igbos voted nearly 100% for Obi just because he is a Christian
