A lot of people don't know this. In fact, many northern moslems deny this but it is a fact.
No muslim denies that. They call them maguza.

There are more christians in nigeria than muslims. Islam has no soul winning mechanism ( except jihad). The Christians have thru schools, media, miracle( majorly fake), publicity and helping of church members. The officials stats of 55 45 was done in 1960s.

Islam is spreading fastest across the world. By the way for every christain born in Nigeria today 3 muslims are born.

And come to the north and clear your doubt you think it is by soul winning gimmicks of christain businessmen aka pastors only that religion grows.

You are quite limited.

This is an aljazeera interview of Shiekh Ahmad Al katani and here he speaks of actual statistics from their research that shows how 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity yearly in Africa alone.

Religious population in Nigeria from wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nigeria

Pls note before anyone quotes me or call me names.. I'm not a fan of any religions though I was born Christian.. but I think the world is better off without any of them

And I also think Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Nigeria .. due to what I've seen here in Sw Nigeria myself

What's your proof to this?? Islam was stated to be the fastest growing religion by maternity rate.. not through convert.. while christianity it's the other way around..

Even here in the south west.. though I was originally born in the ss.. I can mention more than 20 of my friends who where born muslims.. but are now Christians.. but I cant mention 1 if it's the other way around..

I presented facts from Muslim researchers. Aljazeera (an Islamic apologist network) will not grant an interview with a person with baseless facts especially when it doesn't show Islam in a positive light.

I was talking about Africa. Next time,
read well before jumping into conclusions. Islamic population in America is only at 7m after about 100years whereas Christian population grew by several millions. Christianity is also projected to grew exponentially in South America.

Most of the Muslim population in Europe are immigrants escaping war in the middle East. Islam isn't growing among Europeans. Infact, over 90% of new converts to Islam in the uk leave islam within the first two years.

Apostasy laws are the only reason Islam still exists. Bye!

thank you for this.

If those Islamic countries allow Christians to practice their religion freely, Islam will just die a natural death

The population of real Muslims in SW is not more than 5%. Yorubas don't take Islam serious.

How can you call people like Tinubu, Gbaja, Saraki, Ajimobi etc Muslims? Yorubas are only Muslims by names.
And they are Christians by what

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?
These are just very simple things that a credible census will decide.

Why go through this lengthy conjectures when a proper headcount will take care of the confusion?

Without a credible headcount, everything remains mere assumptions.
Re: Religion Population According To Geopolitical Zones In Nigeria by OfficialAPCNig: 8:42am On Jun 23, 2019
Jman06:
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.
Yorubas moslems are just hateful. Who told you they struggle with conception in the East?

Tufiakwa!!!

Let me speak for Christianity,only God knows how many Christians there are,but we know they are very very few and it's not hard to tell considering the people we meet every day who call themselves Christian's.
Those who come here to spit hate speech daily are Christian's too? Those fornicators and adulterers,those drug peddlers, ritualist are Christian's too because they come from a particular geo political zonehuh

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
Idiot !
Re: Religion Population According To Geopolitical Zones In Nigeria by jhubril(m): 11:13am On Jun 23, 2019
Amanismone:
Areas of Nigeria which are generally referred to as belonging to the Middle Belt are: Benue State, Plateau State, Taraba State Niger State, Kogi State, Nassarawa State, Kwara State, Adamawa State, and the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), as well as the southern parts of Kaduna State, Kebbi State, Bauchi State, Gombe State, Yobe State and Borno State.

The definition of the Middle Belt areas are subject to great debate due to the presence of significant number of ethnic Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri groups. In addition, the Yoruba who are the predominant ethnic group in Kwara and Kogi have a strong affinity with the larger Yoruba body and frequently prefer not to be associated with the Middle Belt identity. The population of the middle belt is estimated to be over 35 million or more who are predominantly Christians and some few Muslim converts. The area also has a very large significant number of the Hausa-Fulanis who are roughly 20% percent of the population. The Christians make about 70-75% of the population while the Muslims constitute 25-30% of the population.
Why are you telling lies? All you have got here are basically unfounded. No official stats , only conjectures. slowpoke! Spit!

I am a northerner,I live in the north and I am muslim. I perfectly understand you however, you are far from the truth. Islam is not for showmanship that is why many of you dont get it.


The so many christain in kafur LGA doesn't even make christain 60% there and that is only a local govt. Oya expand your horizzon to the remaining LGAs with next to none christain presence, and have massive population.

No need to argue go and peruse the census figure then do your own adjustments as you deem fit.

I picked Kafur because it is a Sharia hot bed, a former Emirate and one of the most popular LGA in Katsina.

Malumfashi has more Christians than Kafur, there are more Christians in Funtua than Malumfashi.

There are more Christians in Katsina city than Funtua. So, what are you saying?

There are more Christians in Kano than Katsina.

There are more Christians in the North than moslems in the South #FACT.

Excluding MB who don't even identify as Northerners, the population of the South is more than of the North.

There are more Christians in MB than moslems.

You don't get it still, Katsina is home to the largest indigenous Christian in the conservative North west. They are called maguzawa. However, when compared with the overall population of the conservative north, they are micro minority.

In the South there are equally strong muslim population in South west. The SS/SE however have almost insignificant muslim presence.

Overall, religion must be downplayed else we won't have, a united prosperous nation. If only same faith vote for themselves it will be almost a one sided victory for muslim.

By the way, many who call themselves Christian in the south are traditionalists or even irreligious.
