There are more Christians in Nigeria than Muslims even though the gap may be 0-5%. Lagos has more Christians than any other states in Nigeria and we can assume at least over 80% of residents are nominal Christians. Indigenous Lagosians are mixed, Muslims, Christians and traditional adherents.
population is a thing of deceit in Nigeria and the entire population thing is bogus and deceitful.

So says the Almajiri media houses. This what they talk about in their mosques everyday.... cook up figure....and keep hyping on it till it sticks and be accepted.

For ya info...I have been to all the states of Nigeria as a Consultant.

Kaduna has less than 50% of Muslim population.
Nasarawa has less than 30% of muslim population
Lagos has less than 30% of muslims
Adamawa has less than 50%of muslims
Kogi has less than 48% of muslims
Kebbi has less than 60% Muslims
Sokoto has about 78% of muslims
Kano has indigenous Christians of 15%. Aside Migrants.
Jigawa also has 20% indigenous Christians. Aside Migrants
Katsina, Bauchi, zamfara all have indigenous Christians.

But due to the Orientation of Islam as a political movement of dominating others, u hardly observe these Christians in the polity of these HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims dominated states. They treat them as infidels and nonentities when it comes to holding political power. This is the MAJOR problem of Nigeria today.
lol this figure keep me laughing Stop masturbating and face reality.

OP u can lie, Kaduna christians and muslim are 50/50, Lagos christian 70% the rest 30%, even in Kano christians 30%, Brounu christian is still 25%
which Kaduna state? Apart from Sabo, Gonin gora where do you see christains population? Only Rigasa Population can cover those places i mentioned.
In Kaduna state christains separate their selves to stay far from the town, only places you will see christains filling at home is Kaduna south am not saying southern Kaduna o, places​ like Kakuri, Barnawa and some part of nassarawa.

I may not be sure in totality with your statistics but I am sure that :

Taraba is predominantly a Christian State (90%)
Same for Benue (90%)
Same for Plateau (90%)
Nassarawa is about 50/50
Adamawa is 55% Muslim, 45% Christian

Even Gombe state has a number of its citizens who are Christians.

This is what they preach in the mosques every Friday. After that killing sermon fellow. Nobody get time to teacher them how to live in peace with others at all if not why do they kill people daily? Bad orientation. These people need change more than any human being on earth thats if the world particular Nigeria will ever get peace. Their religion madness has gone beyond.
Re: 6 Nigerian States With Largest Muslim Population by Nobody: 8:46pm On Jun 02, 2017
Yoruba Muslims and Christians at best share an equal population. However I think we Christians are more. Also considering the fact that SE and SS represent the 2nd and 3rd most present ethnic group in Lagos. For instance Lag population is 21M, Yorubas could be 10M with 50% for each religion. The SS could be 5 million with almost 95% christian while the SE could be 4 million with 98% Christians. Northerners which could be 1 million represent 60% of Muslims while the rest could be left for other west African and foreign immigrants.
This projection would leave the Christian population of Lagos at about 14 million.

I lived in both Ekiti and Ondo states, the percentage of Muslims in those states cannot exceed 5% or even less.

All my educational pursuits are in those states and believe me I attended up to 4 secondary schools there in different local government areas, so, I can rightly inferred that giving Muslims 5% is even generous.

I was in SSS 2 before I came across a Muslim classmates and a Muslim teacher, all had been Christians
