This kind out topic needs to cancel or remove from the site. This is basically hate speech thread. This thread encourages violence, so, it needs to be stopped.

Muslims are in the majority in the SW. The percentage of Muslims of ogun is flatly wrong. The only state where Christians are in the majority in SW are Ondo and Ekiti.

MelesZenawi:
The Muslim population in South west , let me correct that impression today is 76.8% against Christian's against 19.9% population.

Traditionalist there is just 3.3 percent or thereabouts.


Now basically Osun is a full Muslims state with nearly 92% Percent Muslim population if not 96 by statistical survey...How many churches are in Osun state?...few

Now Ogun state would have been a total Muslims state if not for her Lagos proximity , more reason the Muslim there are defiant to lock down..


[b]Oyo Should be pegged at 70 percent Muslim population though still contestable that Christian population there is not up to 26 Percent..



Ondo was devoted to God even before the British arrived. The only Christian state with Aketi leading the fate. Most of their Indigenes are religiously ok and I pray they make heaven at last.


Ekiti is another body of Christ but it seems today that the light Christ dropped for them is leaving the state.


Lagos is where the remaining low percentage of so called Christians from osun, Ogun and Oyo now congregate to cause problem and destroy Christianity.
your last line got me laughing so hard. grin

When I saw the moniker of OP, knew he is on another mischievous mission to deceive. For you info the only muslim gov of Osun was rigged into office by Buhari ''remote control'' as confessed by Buhari himself

So Based on all your assumptions that the religion of the gov reflect the population of his religion.....

SW is 18% muslims and 80% Christians and 2% ATR
at some points, out of the 6 governors of that region, 4 were Muslims - in fact, segun abdulrahaman mimiko is from a Muslim family and I even heard he's a nominal Muslim. Do you now say that gave 90% of the population?

We should appreciate the SW for their religious tolerance and growth. That's the best region in Africa where you're free to practice anything. You people should stop trying to sow seed of discord in that peaceful region.

Nigerians are religiously stupid!

How has that helped Yorubaland in general?
Imagine Osun state sharing same educational ratings with Kaduna in SSCE.
Fanatics would soon breed a Yoruba Sheka

The guy is right, religious tolerance should be celebrated and other Nigerians from the north and the east should also learn how to be tolerant like the Yorubas.

I have told you to stop counting traditionalists as a different religion in Nigeria. This is because almost every traditionalist in Nigeria goes to a church or a mosque. Full blown traditionalist who never step their foot in a church or mosque in Nigeria are not more than 1% of the country.

If you want to identify a traditionalist as anyone who goes to a Babalawo or anyone who dances with masquerades and goes to shrines occasionally, then Nigeria would be like 40% traditionalist and Yorubas would be like 80% traditionalist grin


So, let me give u the religious breakdown of the SW & Yorubaland in my own opinion, regardless of the traditionalist.

Oyo 60% Muslim, 40% Christian
Osun 50% Muslim, 50% Christian
Ogun 35% Muslim, 65% Christian
Ondo 20% Muslim, 80% Christian
Ekiti 10% Muslim, 90% Christian

Lagos indigenes 65% Muslim, 35% Christian
All Yorubas in Lagos 40% Muslim, 60% Christian
Everyone in Lagos 20% Muslim, 80% Christian

Yorubas in Kwara 55% Muslim, 45% Christian
Yorubas in Kogi 20% Muslim, 80% Christian.

This is far better than your analysis about the north,its more realistic.though i have some little reservations.no state can be 50 50.it is very clear that osun is slightly dominated by Muslims,even the yorubas here have agreed.the indigenes of lagos are too few so leave them,it is better decay yorubas in lagos.i feel they are more Muslim yorubas in lagos but i must admit,there's no evidence to that and its not clear.

I was referring to the 6 states of the southwest so kwara shouldnt be there but it is very clear that yorubas in kwara are mostly Muslims so i an baffled.but lets leave it there.at least we agree that they are more yoruba christians
