I’m a Christian, but I want to look at this honestly and without emotion. Having lived in Kaduna, Jos, Enugu, Abuja and Lafia, and visited places like Ogun, Delta and Lagos, I’ve seen how significant the Muslim population is, particularly across much of Northern Nigeria.

When you factor in population growth, birth rates, mortality and marriage patterns, it’s clear that Nigeria’s religious demographics will continue to evolve over generations.

But beyond the numbers, Nigeria belongs to all of us. Christians and Muslims are not enemies competing for space; we are Nigerians sharing the same country and hoping for a better future.

We can acknowledge demographic realities without turning them into fear or division. Numbers may change, but our shared humanity and responsibility to build a peaceful Nigeria should remain.

Turkiye is a Muslim country not because there are no Christians but because they're minority.
Turkiye was a Christian country. Before the Muslim shoved them aside.
Go and read their history

DSS is supposed to arrest all pastors too that have used their nonsense pulpit to campaign for any candidate

You christians started this nonsense by allowing Obi to use the Churches
But he did not use the platform to canvass for and call for attacks against others like this one is doing now tagging others as infidels . did he?

I don't need to remind you what you guys are encouraged to do to "infidels'.!

Kontinu

If not FG and some alliance and pact that's make you to make this acidic hubris comment of yours

Southern Muslim as president and Northern Christian as vp can't win presidential election in Nigeria, it is as simple as that. But does that mean declaration of war against Christians in Nigeria? That's a stretch, total bullshiitt
So a nutshell you are saying Mr. Tinubu is not Muslim enough and Christians in the north are not northern enough... exactly what is the point here because what you say here is in the portfolio of what the Sheikh meant...that Christians are irrelevant in this country as far as politics at the highest levels is concerned.
Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by rummmy: 8:27pm On Aug 09
Christians should unite and prove their value...
2 muslim presidential candidates vs 1 Christian candidate..
No Christian should vote a Muslim let's teach the shirk a lesson..

Christians marry one wife and bear number of children they can cater for, Northern Muslims marry as many women as they see and give birth to uncountable children that they cannot cater for
That one na talk. Multiple wife thingy is everywhere. My papa married multiple women. Same as my grandfather. How can u just use population of NW and NE to judge when, we have about 4 regions out of 6 that's dominated by Christians

If Christians no plenty pass Muslims, why are Muslims always talking about Christians? Mind you, Nigerian constitution is built purely on Christianity, that alone should yell you who plenty pass for Naija.

It helps them to win votes that align with islamic believes like terrorism

u dey Jonce. If Muslim plenty pass Christians, make I bend. Most Christians don't take this voting stuff seriously like their Muslim counterparts. Take me for example, I ve been eligible to vote since 2007 but, I only voted once in my life in 2023. Churches like JW, Seventh day Adventist , deeper life and the likes don't vote. That north wey una dey always shout about, na there dem born people like us. We know wetin dey...
Oga! All these ones nah assumptions. You heard the man abi. Nah the vote be the data.

Why are Christians crying about terrorism if they can't vote in right leaders?

But when next census comes, your muslim leaders will threaten fire and withdrawal if religious and tribal data is to he added into the census questionnaire. What they are your leaders afraid of?
Despite they are busy sponsoring mass weddings for polygamous couples, to breed millions of bandits, whats your problem, black people?

Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by CSTRR: 9:05pm On Aug 09
Thats why you cannot blame European and American conservatives that are wary of Islam.

These islamists are always looking to dominate, always looking to have the upper hand.
Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by CSTRR: 9:07pm On Aug 09
These Muslims will overplay their hand one day and the biblical story of Rehoboam and Jeroboam will come to pass.

I am not a lover of FFK but his response earn me his respect it is not easy to be in power and speak truth to it. This is the first time I am seeing this form of audacity!
Lol
Are you sure you understand English
Where is the truth to power he spoke
Where was his voice when Remi Tinubu said same thing not even in Nigeria but on the international stage
He sounds as if he's even pleading with the man and careful not to offend him

FFK is n iddiot. Only iddiots respond to iddiots. FFK is a serial adulterer and fornicator, so I am not surprised that he responded to a mentally unstable so called Islamic nonentity whose brain is empty

Least you forget, I am a Muslim married to a Christian. There is no difference between the Quran and the Bible, I only see differences between Churchgoers and Mosque goers
It seems like some thing is wrong with your head. You left the mad man who made a demon-possessed statement and you are attacking FFK.

Anyway, you are muslim.

How many Muslims in Nigeria have been slaughtered overnight by Christian religious extremists since 2023?

How many pastors and priests have told their congregation to vote only Christians to assert their dominance over other religions?

There’s something fundamentally wrong with your line of thought
There are many pastors if not all pastors that do that constantly but they are not as reckless as this Sheikh.
It is absurd to play religious cards in politics but it is a common practice in Nigeria
We have many states with a substantial number of Muslims in Nigeria where both the governor and the deputy are Christians.
Many religious political games are happening behind the scenes from both Christians and Muslims but Christians do theirs discreetly.
Re: Sheikh Jingir Says Muslims Outnumber Christians In Nigeria; Fani-Kayode Reacts by MrGerald(m): 9:18pm On Aug 09
All they think is Muslims, Allah, taqiuh or whatever it is called. You're in the North seeing mostly Muslims and you think that's how it is all over the country, thank God we didn't allow this retrograding, tribalistic and bigotry of a religion in our backyard. Muslims and Christians are almost equal in this country.

We’re not talking about what people say within their homes or in private chats, this is about religious extremism resulting in thousands of deaths.

Stop typing nonsense. Do you know the meaning of "very small"?
