whatever u might mean, my point is simple-
every nation seeks to get the upper hand over it's neighbors.
there are conflicts in almost every country, so Africans can develop and grow only when they (we) accept responsibility for our situation.

the West is no more guilty than the middle East; it's all our ancestors- who fought and enslaved each other thru the millennia.

Zimbabwe was wrecked and looted by Mugabe and his cronies.
South Africa has been ruled by blacks since Mandela, yet poverty and corruption are rife- even worse- there.
who do Nigerians have to blame for the State of the nation?
Nigerians.

unless ur saying we're either mentally deficient- which is the only reason why outside forces can influence us; or the continent is full of children.
is that what ur saying?

Bros you can’t be boasting with the cosmopolitan population of Ilorin saying one polling booth there will cover entire townships in Kwara south and yet in the same breath be re-iterating that the city is 90% muslim.

Ilorin that I know today is not even 70% muslim talk more of a whole 90!

You either talk about just the native and their average populace or the city as a whole with its huge population but also in all its diversity. Don’t contradict yourself.
I was talking about Indigenous people only, there is no doubt that Ilorin is a Cosmopolitan city with hundreds of thousands of people from Kogi, Kwara South, Ibos e.t.c...

In Kwara non- indeginous people don't vote, they used to travel back to their hometown/state to vote.
Now if we use the number of registered voters in each local government to judge the population, the three Ilorin LGA are the top three (massively), Saraki wasn't actually wrong when he said his adugbo vote(I exaggerated when I said polling Booth) is far more than a certain LGA (Ekiti, Isin and Oke-Ero), he did said that.
And if we look at it very well, He wasn't wrong, looking at the massive registered voters in Ilorin west (Saraki LGA), it's possible for Agbaji to pull more voters than one of (Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero)
You can Google the number of registered voters in each lga.

NOW BACK TO THE SUBJECT UNDER DISCUSS (though I don't want to discuss this further)
KWARA CENTRAL : which constitutes 30-40% of the whole state population should be at least 95% Muslims (throughout my stay in Ilorin, I never meet and indigene that practice Christianity, I'm being fair with 5% I gave Christians, actually it should be 98% Muslims, from my own experience)

KWARA SOUTH :
Offa is majority muslims(massively)

Ifelodun too is majority Muslims

Irepodun looks like 50/50 or slightly Muslims majority.

the above three are the largest and the most populous LGA in Kwara South out of 7.
If you are coming Southward from Ilorin, it's when you get to OKEONIGBIN in Isin that you will start seeing Christians dominated towns, from OKEONIGBIN downward are smaller towns and villages except OMU-ARAN(Irepodun LGA)
OMU-ARAN that I know very is like 50/50

Now back to OMU-ARAN (and Irepodun), omu Aran is cosmopolitan with influx of people from nearby small villages like (Oko, Aran orin, eleyin, Roore, Olla, e.t.c), these smaller villages are Christians dominated but very small in population.

Irepodun looks like 50/50, in Irepodun, bigger towns like Oro, Ajase-ipo are Muslim dominated, while smaller villages are Christian dominated.

Next LGA is Oke-Ero, Iloffa which is the biggest is 50/50 (I personally know this place) but other towns like Odo-owa, Ayedun, Ekan, Idofin with massive Christian population will set Oke-Ero at 80%/20% in favour of Christians.


Ekiti has the same pattern with Oke-Ero, the biggest town, Osi is muslim dominated and the rest villages are massively Christians 80% Christians with Oke-Ero.

Offa+Ifelodun will surely cancel Isin+Oke-Ero+Ekiti (while Irepodun will remain neutral)

OYUN LGA is what I don't have an idea, but it's also small and very close offa, I believe it should be 50/50, Offa should have an influence on this LGA, even most people don't know the difference between Offa and Ijagbo.

KWARA SOUTH AT BEST IS 50/50 or slightly Muslim majority (judging by the analysis in the last two paragraphs)

Hence I wasn't wrong when I said the Yorubas (Kwara central and Kwara South) are 70% muslims, 30% Christians, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ADD MORO(the other Yoruba LGA in Kwara north) Moro is majority Muslims and will surely cancel Oyun (that I said I don't have an idea about)

70%-30% in favour of Muslims looks fair.

Now since we all agree that Kwara north is Majority Muslims, won't that reduce everything? Kwara north will reduce Christians to like 20-25% at best.

So why did you people have Emir in Kwara State since is not a conquer Territory.

it's Only in Kwara State that you see Emir among all the Yoruba State.

Kwara is a conquer Territory
The people of ILORIN are not conquered people, albeit the Emirate system was forced on them.
The Emir (Emirate) title, is not an Ethnic title, it's a religion title... the Ilorin people fell in love with the title, I think because they are devoted Muslims, they prefers a religion ruler to ethnic ruler.

But the Kwara South where I came from is a different ball game, each town all have an Oba( the Yoruba traditional title), out of the 7 local government areas in Kwara South, only one doesn't have a FIRST CLASS KING, one (Irepodun even has TWO FIRST CLASS KINGS) IN TOTAL THERE ARE 7 FIRST CLASS KINGS IN KWARA SOUTH.

THE EMIR OF ILORIN IS ALSO A FIRST CLASS KING, AND HE'S NOT SUPERIOR TO THE 7 KINGS IN KWARA SOUTH.

I think there is a difference between KWARA AND ILORIN.
If you say ILORIN people are conquered people, we may agree (but I don't think so) they are not conquered people.
Saying Kwara people are conquered people is nonsense, ILORIN IS NOT THE WHOLE OF KWARA STATE.



DELTA people are not conquered people, in Asaba, The traditional ruler is an Obi, using your analogy, is it safe to say, Urhobo, itsekiri and Isoko people are conquered people?

Same with EDO, Oba is a Yoruba title, but the Bini king is an Oba.

Hence,
Bini people are not conquered people.

URHOBO people are not conquered people for having an Obi in the state capital.

Ilorin people too are not conquered people (Emir is a religion title and not Fulani title)

Thank you.

I wan ignore this question before Sha, so don't ask another stupid question.

98% of voters in Kwara State are indigenous people (the other 2% is even negligible)

non-indigenes usually go back to their home state to vote since they registered in their home state, is this even a rocket science?

and this happens in other states too except states like Lagos, FCT and some other states.

Voters are adviced to register in their hometown because it's gives their hometown opportunities, I mean having large number of voters give their hometown some special status.
and that's why some towns do organize free transportation for their people living outside during voters registration.

No matter what is done, a local folk will remain local. You were offered a life-line to modify the nonsense you wrote but you doubled-down instead.

Is it conceivable that any smart person would claim that only indigenous people vote in any jurisdiction and even refer to that as "science" in December 2020?

Why then do politicians all over the country (including Kwara State) reachout to different settler communities in their domain to canvass for their votes?

If they all settlers travel to their villages and home states as your "science" taught you, who do politicians go to see for support during elections?

Do you know what intelligent people do? They refrain from throwing figures and percentages everywhere without anything to back them up otherwise they are seen as charlatans or quacks.

Except it is something everyone can verify or a survey you conducted or participated in (which, of course, should be in public domain) it makes more sense not to make bogus claims like you doing here.

In the absence of a scientific survey or a census (headcount), demography is difficult to ascertain. All the percentage you have been dishing out here amount to mere assumptions or wishful thinking or falsehood.

Oga, Higgi (Michika) people are 90% Christian and that is a known fact.
If they had so many Indigenous Muslims as you claim, they wouldn't have been able to chase away all Muslims from Michika town in the past.

Can you kindly mention one Indigenous Higgi town that is Muslim majority? Am waiting.

And stop lying that Adamawa Indigenous tribes are mixed!.
Most of Adamawa tribes are either entirely Christian, overwhelmingly Christian or predominantly Christian.

For starters, the largest Indigenous tribe in Adamawa state, the Bwatiye (Bachama & Batta) are over 98% Christian. There is no single Bwatiye village or Hamlet that is muslim majority. Finding a Bwatiye Muslim is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The same with Lunguda people of Guyuk LGA!
The same thing with the Indigenous tribes of Mayo Belwa (Yandang, Satte, Kungama).
The same thing with all the minority tribes of Numan/Lamurde/Demsa axis (Bali, Bille, Mbula, Chobo).

Most of the Indigenous tribes of Gombi & Song (Yungurr, Lala, Ganda, Ngwahi, Ngwaba, Bura) are 90% Christian.

The tribes that are mixed in Adamawa are Kanakuru, Kilba, Chamba, Marghi, Mumuye, Verre, Fali, Gude & Nzanyi....

But even at this, all these tribes are clearly Christian majority (65-85% Christian), except for Nzanyi people of (Maiha LGA) who are a 50-50.

Among most of these so called mixed tribes, you will only find the Indigenous Muslims residing in the LG headquarters, as soon as you enter into the interior rural villages, they disappear!

Even among the Kilbas, Marghis, Chambas, Kanakurus & Mubi tribes, that Muslims will claim are mixed tribes, go into many of their rural interior villages, you will not find any mosques!

Let's take Kilba for example, there is no Kilba town or village that is overwhelmingly Muslim in the whole of Hong LGA, it doesn't exist!
If you think there is, kindly mention the name. You can ask your Kilba Muslim friends.
However, up of half of Kilba towns and villages are overwhelmingly Christian or entirely Christian.

Adamawa Indigenous tribes are 85% Christian!

Among the 50-60 Indigenous tribes of Adamawa, none of them is muslim majority!

Only 1 of them (Nzanyi) can muslims claim 50-50!

So yes, apart from the few fulani and cin Rani settlers in Numan, Lamurde, Demsa, Guyuk & Michika. These 5 LGAs are up to 90% Christian!

Then I dare you to mention 1 LGA in Adamawa state that can claim up to 90% Muslim!

The LGA with the highest Muslim population to me is Yola south LGA and it is not even up to 80% Muslim, Yola south is at most 65-70% Muslim.

Then Maiha with like 60% Muslim.

Besides these 2 LGAs, no other LGA in Adamawa is Muslim majority.

Plateau Christians wanted to carry the muslim minorities along in everything cos we never knew these people were evil.
Then in old Plateau state, every deputy appointment was meant for Lower Plateau (Nasarawa) people and it was always given to a muslim.
It's not as if Muslims were more in lower Plateau, but just for the sake of carrying everybody along.

So by the time Nasarawa state was created, all the big shots in the state were Muslims! They formed a muslim clique (led by Abdullahi Adamu) and since then vowed that by hook or crook, a Christian will never rule Nasarawa state.

It is your analysis that is terribly flawed Mr. Shola. Prior to colonial contact and rule, MOST Middle Belt ethnic groups had either resisted the Islamic onslaughts or had zero contact with them at all.

The Missionaries had already done extensive work translating the Bible to Hausa to preach primarily to the Hausa Muslims first. But the met a strange and stiff Luguardian policy that forbade or restricted them from preaching to Hausa or Fulani Muslims.

So it is in this regard that the Missionaries observed that a lot of non-Fulani/Hausa pagans were more open and receptive to Christianity...where Hausa or Fulani contact with these natives were entirely minimal or zero at best. The Colonial administration grudgingly allowed the Missionaries to work with these pagan populations. But the unfortunate reality was that since there were hundreds of different minority languages but the Bible had originally been translated to Hausa using a lot of Hausa terms and Hausa-translations equivalents for Hebrew names (like Jacob being translated to Yakubu etc.,) the only option at the initial time was for the Missionaries to begin preaching to these pagans in Hausa. In the places the built schools, English was used but for the local people in the villages--who were not educated, Hausa was used to preach using the Hausa Bible. This was how many also adopted the names from the Bible based on the Hausa translation as well.

It had entirely nothing to do with being "brothers" with any Hausa. Today, there has been a lot of effort to translate the Bible into indigenous Languages as it is in the Bible Translation Trust in Jos.

The 60s was a time filled with a lot of ignorance. But clearly with the level of enlightenment today, there was a clear reason why Plateau for instance massively voted for Obi and were so very disappointed--even depressed when he did not win.

I laughed when I saw someone said there are almost 25 Christians in Katsina State and Kano .

This is the kind of tread that made Peter Obi to use religion to campaign and eventually led to his failure. Christian population in the North is over estimated in this tread, especially in Nasarawa,kwara, kogi and Niger. I am from Niger but I just laugh when someone say Niger is 50/50 Muslims and Christian population.

You have counted the Christians in the North , so what about the Muslims in the south ?

I think the whole Oyo , Ogun , Osun and Lagos are Muslim dominated state , only Ondo and Ekiti are Christians dominated state in the south West .

And how many towns and villages are Muslims dominated in South South ?

You nailed it man. Just as a Christian clearly won this just concluded state gubernatorial elections but the president and many Muslim top shots have to leave their states come to Nasarawa and turn the votes. It's unfortunate that Christian top politicians couldn't come and help

Zamani Lekwot happens to be my God father. Ironically after all thus years El rufai and some fucking Northerners are still clamoring for his head. God in heaven knows if I were in his shoes, I won't sit back and watch my people treated like filth. You're right on your observation though, cos am yet to see a Commodore in NN, or equivalent from other services, who hails from SK. God help my people.
