I didn't even see your post before correcting the idiot.

Ife and ijesha land are the largest areas in osun and they are 98% Christians.

I wonder how osun can be Muslim majority.
Why insult when making a point? Insults only shows ignorance.

You are not from the SW yet you display your ignorance. There's no state in SW with majority Muslim population.

The only areas of osun that are Muslims are Iwo, osogbo and ikirun. Ife, ijesha land which are the largest areas are mostly Christians.

In Oyo, only ibadan can you find significant Muslims.

Ogun has minority Muslims. Lagosians are only Muslims by name.
Ignorance is bliss!

I was about asking this same question of urs.

But anything can happen in prison. Remember the two thieves nailed alongside with Christ on the cross.

I read that Obasanjo became a born again Christian while in prison.

Prison Evangelism is another tool more people convert to christians lately. Its a powerful evangelism to get more people to Christ Jesus

Christians dominate southern Nigeria and the middle belt.

They are gradually outnumbering the Muslims in north east that's why boko haram was created.

In the next 100 years, Nigeria will be a Christian nation. We need to evangelise more and win ! more souls for God
God forbid.. Nigeria Rather bee an atheist country

Stop spreading lies, NW has large Christian population edging close to 35%.

The number of Christian alone in Kano City [not State] is more than moslems in the SS/SE except Edo.

There are Christian communities scattered across Katsina state.
please stop this nonsense.

River state has more population than kano

Islam as a religion was not supposed to exceed the generation of the first caliph of Abubakar. The apostasy verse had to be created and inserted as a creed thereby killing anyone that abandoned the death cult of a religion. It's the FEAR factor that make people to still practice Islam today. That's why the crave for political power to sustain the religion. Without political power to force, kill, cheat, practice extreme nepotism unhindered, loot to promote Islam, coercive power of state to create relevance and dominance , without which Islam would've been dead and forgotten in the history of humanity.

Why don't Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan refugees go to seek refuge in Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Qatar who are equally rich countries butb always prefer Germany or USA that are Catholic Countries..? It's because they want freedom from state power of coercion instead of worshiping God from their hearts[/s]
UAE population is made up 80% migrants,Qatar is 88% migrants,Oman is 35% migrant,Saudi Arabia 30% migrants! these are the highest proportions of migrant in the world,So how the heck can you claim Muslims aren't going there undecided
How many countries actually enforce the apostacy laws huh what about totally secular countries like turkey,still 98% Muslim.What about when most Muslim countries were colonised by your xtian imperial powers...how many left Islam undecided
Dont go focus on your faith,your religion is the one rapidly dying out in thinking,developed societies.
Re: Religion Population According To Geopolitical Zones In Nigeria by trapQ: 11:37am On Jun 22, 2019
Nope. Even if they reproduce like flies,
they still have the fastest apostasy rates in the world. They will all be converted to Christianity very soon.
tuniski:
In the next 100yrs, Muslim would have almost double christian at the rate population is exploding in conservative north.
Re: Religion Population According To Geopolitical Zones In Nigeria by trapQ: 11:38am On Jun 22, 2019
Oga, go check stats and you'll see that SW is only 35% muslim and at least 55% to 60% Christian.

SS is not 90% Christian. It is at least 96%
Christian. Only Auchi has a significant Muslim population in the SS and even at that it is nothing compared to the overall SS population.
Generalpatton:
Northwest is 90% Muslim.only southern kaduna and southern kebbi has a large christian population plus saminaka,kaduna south lga,chikun and fagge in kano.that cant be more than 10%.

Northeast has some christians in southern borno esp chibok,Christians in tafawa balewa and bogoro,in southern gombe,central and southern taraba,half of adamawa.out of 20million people in the north east with 7 million christians which means there are about 35% Christians there.

In the north central,niger,kwara has Muslim majority.kogi has a slight Muslim majority,benue and plateau had christian majority.nasarawa is 50 50 same as abuja.therefore north central has 55% Muslims 45 Christians.

For south west,oyo is majority Muslims,osun is slightly moremuslims,lagos is 50 50,ogun is 30-40 Muslims.ekiti and ondo are 80% Muslim.therefore,south west is 35%-45% Muslims.

For ss,it is 90% chtistians and se 95%

It is okay for you to continue in self delusion. In 100yrs Islam would be the number one religion in the world.

I didn't even know there were some Christian fulanis until my brother's regular fulani fruit seller customer didn't come to sell his goods one day. When my bro asked why he was away, he said he had gone for church service. I was really surprised.
OfficialAPCNig:
I don't know about your statistics and the submission, the only three I can relate with are:

1. You are slightly right about Christians in the NW but personally, I think it is about 35%. Hausa Christians answer moslem name.

A lot of Christians in the North answer Aisha, Musa, Zainab, Maryam, Yusuf, Ibrahim, Suleiman. They do that for protection and appointment.

2. In Nigeria, SW has the largest number of Christian converts from Islam. You won't believe that the number is overwhelming.

3. One thing North will never tell you is that Fulanis also do Christianity. Adamawa has the largest Fulani Christian population.

As for SW, the proportion edges closely to 50:50 but Islam is losing hold real fast.
Re: Religion Population According To Geopolitical Zones In Nigeria by trapQ: 11:49am On Jun 22, 2019
Lagos is 60% Muslim? Lmao
tuniski:
Lagos 60:40, Ogun 60:40, Oyo 70:30 and Osun 70:30 Muslim ; christain

Ekiti and ondo 80:20 Christain :muslim

However, lagos,Oyo are the most populous SW states.

Amanismone:
that's the lie they are trying to tell you.
Which election is the most freest in Nigeria? That abiola election.

River state had more votes than kano(most populated northern state) but now children now votes that's why they claim to have high population.

Just imagine if children votes during election in southern Nigeria.

Islam is dying, no one wants to be part of an oppressive religion
All evidence on ground point to the fact that Muslims in the north currently outnumber Christians and their population growth rate keeps increasing. If you've been to the north you'll notice that they have large land mass. Some States in the north are twice or thrice the size of one state in the southeast. In fact, kano will be like the size of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi put together.

Also, Islamic religion permits early marriage, polygamy and having multiple children! All these are pointers to the fact that they are more populated. Unlike the south(especially southeast) where people don't get married on time and even when they eventually get married they start struggling with conception and at the end they end up having just a few (2 or 3) children.

God bless you.

Niger State is bigger than the entire South East. The population of Almajiris alone is almost 50% igbos.

The rate at which population is exploding in the conservative north, by the time we reach 733m projected by world population monitor inn 2050, the conservative muslim north alone will be 350m+. Christians have small family sizes and like you said monogamous. To top that Late marriage or no marriage for many ladies sef.

At 30 a typical lady in the conservative north maybe divorced but, has between 6-8 children Spread across different failed marriages.
Just how many christain ladies have 3kids at 30 even if married?
