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.

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

Since we don't have census based on religious lines u may have say and correct likewise mine. I know Nasarawa wellaa my guy.
From toto to laminga to lafia, mararaba-masaka-uke axis, eggon, to akwanga, keffi, kokona, Karu, Mada areas etc the population of Muslims we saw cannot be more than 28%.

My aim is to bring awareness to what Wikipedia and other search engines are showing the world even though I know the statistics are 100% wrong . Maybe just maybe this forum will help go a long way in correcting the figures erroneously pasted in these sites
