You are infact correct! I just confirmed it at your catholic secteriat website.

Am not sure I saw such figure on the site, do well to copy and paste it here if you did see it, maybe I missed that part.

PastorKun:


So by your twisted logic, as it not occurred to you that muslims are abandoning the religion in far higher numbers and converting to christianity than those you claim are becoming rational thinkers A few years down the line, going by the trend, Nigeria is. Likely to be 80% christian, 10% muslim and 10% traditionalists/"rationalists"

kikikiki... pastorkunU,how did you arrive at your figures?
You can't just be churning numbers at us and expect us to believe without a credible source.

Why don't you take your own advise and provide us with a credible source for your figures below:

herald9:
Out of the 50.5% of Christians... Atheists,Deists,Agnostics and other rational thinkers constitutes about 15-20% ....With the alarming increase in the number of rational thinkers on Nairaland only,we would be looking at a percentage of 25-30% in few years to come and more.

SalC:
As much as I believe the research isn't trying to be sentimental, it isn't true that Anglicans are larger than Catholics in Nigeria.
From wiki we have 18m Anglican in Nigeria and 18-19m Catholics in Nigeria according to whatever statistic taken some years back.
According to one of the interview recently, a Catholic bishop in Nigeria said there are approximately 30m Catholics in Nigeria. This though am yet to verify and I don't think this is actually the purpose of this thread.

You may be right though. I tried sourcing of anglicans 2014 statistics, but I couldn't get a hold of it. I only got access to her 2008 statistics which puts her membership at 18m. But one thing is certain, Nigeria has the highest number of Anglicans in the world.

Thanks.
So you see, the Op is somewhat wrong. With the statistics so far, Anglicans can't be 10.1% while Catholics are 8.2% when Anglicans has 20m members and Catholics has 30m.

The statistics in that ^^^ is dated 2010

But however wikipaedia is mostly likely wrong because I don't see how they would grow by more than 12million+, in 4years time given the fact that they growly by an average of 0.0008% anually. The wikipeadia figure is an exaggeration.

Kikikikiki my figures are credible enough... I didn't exaggerate...
imagine him saying many years to come the population of Muslims will decease to 10%...That's somehow hilarious and awkwardly ridiculous.

I came about my figures through careful observation of people on NL and those I interact with....

He's just hallucinating.

Your observation on nairaland your 'credible source'?


SMH!!!

Can you imagine How ridiculous?

OP is somewhat misleading. Anything can be picked from Wikipedia without proper verification.

This thread goes into details and cites proper sources, analyzing the issue of religion in Nigeria in a non-biased, credible way.
