I don't doubt south South at All...the way edo,Delta and river people drink eh

Bundaweber:

.
true. even though am from south south, the yorubas and the binis have that in common. my great grandfather was a Muslim same with his children.he allowed them freedom to choose. my grandfather felt more comfortable with Christianity(Catholicism) so he chose that same with other of his siblings who chose Anglican,Baptist some even went to form their own churches. what I am trying to say is that there is religious tolerance. on Muslim holidays we go and celebrate with our family members who are Muslims and on Christian holidays they come and celebrate with us, even other celebrations we participate fully. that's why I laugh at those who ignorantly claim Yoruba Christian or Yoruba Muslim. there is really no such thing as father maybe a christian, son may be a Muslim. THAT IS THE HEIGHT OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND A CIVILIZED SOCIETY. IF YOU ALWAYS SAY YORUBA MUSLIM/YORUBA CHRISTIAN, IT SHOWS YOUR LACK OF TOLERANCE AND THAT YOU DO NOT COME FROM A CIVILIZED BACKGROUND.

Yoruba and who has what in common? You are uneducated.

It's the etsako in Edo state that has a Muslim population. You will hardly see a *Bini* Muslim, it's like finding an igbo Muslim.

Have you forgotten Benin was the first to embrace Christianity?

South-south leads Nigeria’s huge alcohol consumption, NBS data shows


Alcohol consumption is a big business in Nigeria with consumers spending just less than a quarter of a trillion naira in 2016. According to the latest data from the nation’s statistics bureau, in 2016 alone, Nigerians spent at least N208 billion on alcohol – this amount was more than the budget of Ondo State for that year.

A breakdown of the nation’s sobriety pattern shows the South South zone is the least restrained community of alcohol consumers. There, N74.4 billion was spent on alcohol, making the states of Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross Rivers the section of the country inhabiting the most enthusiastic drinkers in the year.

The seven states of Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Kano, Sokoto, and Zamfara, making up the North West zone, comparatively have the most restrained drinkers. But they still spent at least N2.6 billion to assuage the palate of alcohol drinkers.


Federal statisticians at the NBS say the South East with N44 billion, the South West with N37 billion, the North-central with N30 billion, and the North-east with N19.6 billion follow in that sequence of alcohol consumers in the country.

However, in terms of rural-urban divide, federal statisticians say there are way more drinkers in Nigeria’s rural communities than in the urban areas. Rural communities spent N125 billion naira on alcohol consumption, whilst the urban spend N82.5 billion naira.


Abubakar Jimoh, director of special duties for the nation’s food and drug agency, NAFDAC, blamed what appears to be the high level of alcohol consumption in Nigeria on factors that include the relatively unfettered access to the products, and a disposition of Nigerians to abuse the bounds of regulation.

“Many of this alcohol are stored in a sachet and as such it is predisposing people to more alcohol consumption which is injurious to public health, under the realm of packaging and trying to modernise things.

Though alcohol consumption differs among the various ethnic groups in Nigeria, the contours of rituals, marriage ceremonies, and chieftaincy enthronement provide passage for it to find entry in the cultural demands of many communities and people.


What health experts say about alcohol consumption
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), one of every 10 cancer cases in Nigeria can be traced to alcohol, and 4.7 per cent of overall cancer cases in Nigeria last year can be attributed to alcohol.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said in 2014, Nigeria consumed an average of 23.1 litres of pure alcohol annually, while 50.1g of pure alcohol is consumed daily by drinkers aged 15 years and above.

In its Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health, the WHO also estimates that in 2016 more than three million people died all over the world as a result of the harmful use of alcohol.

This represents 1 in 20 deaths. Men accounted for more than three-quarters of these deaths. Overall, the harmful use of alcohol causes more than five per cent of the global disease burden.

Expert speak

Tavershima Adongo, a medical consultant with the medical journalism programme at the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, explained that “Alcoholism is the chronic condition that develops from uncontrolled drinking and preoccupation with alcohol, leading to a physical and emotional dependence.” He added that “this condition affects about 1.5 million Nigerians yearly, often progressing from a state of alcohol abuse were individuals consume alcohol in sufficient quantities that can be in infrequent periods as once a week.”

Mr Adongo remarks that “immediate short term effects can include systemic effects such as nausea and vomiting, behavioural and mood affectation such as aggression, self destructive tendencies, hyperactivity and anxiety, to long term disease and personality changes that lead to disorganization with an overall effect on individual performance and interpersonal relationships.

Unlimitk:

I'm really tired of osun oyo Muslims, same with kwara Muslims

these ppl make Yorubas land to b underdeveloped

anthonyuncle:
na south east still be number 1 coz 50% of da consumers for South west and 35%of da consumers from South south are from da south east

and who said is by tribe?

micfoley:
Even before checking, I knew South South would be tops. It would be interesting to see a State by State breakdown as l am sure Delta State would be number one

At least we can afford to buy alcohol here in Delta unlike some people that sniff lizard shit because no money to buy tramadol

kanubiafra:
going by what you just wrote it means they also have the highest population too?

In terms of drunkards

KingOdart:



The stupidity you exercise on this platform alone Prove that you are a Bastard.

You sound very stupid

Must everyone have same opinion? Must everyone opinion be shaped by tribe?

Beninempire:
everyone knows that. UK just gave Muslims Nigeria not because they have higher population.

States in the north like Bauchi has like 25% Christians, taraba has 80% , Adamawa has 35% Christians.

Kaduna,kano, jigawa, borno has huge number of indigenous Christians unlike their southern counterpart that you hardly find indigenous Muslims.

In south west, only Oyo and osun has high Muslim population. Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun and Lagos are Christians majority.

In north central, Christians dominate plateau,benue. Has high numbers in kogi, kwara and nassarawa.

In ss/se only auchi in Edo north has high population of indigenous Muslims but they going down in a rapid speed. You can find churches in every street in auchi now and Christians now have higher population than them.

I don't believe in this Muslim majority.

Christians are like 59% of the country population, Muslims 35%> traditionist take the remaining.

. Suke suke. If I don't know every other part of Nigeria I know kwara very well. Am from kwara christain have very few numbers here. But am not here to talk too much.

Remember Islam come back strongly after when christainity have spread through lies 2000 years back, Islam came as new religion and it has second population in the world, just wait and see, soon Islam will soon be number 1 in The because people have tired in hearing lies of pastor and other christain, everyday people leave christainity for Islam. Go to US ,UK etc you will understand. Christainity will be soon end on Earth because it base on lie foundation.

Don't get it twisted, the figures are higher over there in the SS and SE because they spend money on quality drinks unlike them up there who consume too much of these 50 naira sachet stuffs and dangerous chemicals

People of Iran, Jordan and Egypt are fast becoming aithests.
Cos your religion is based on bombing and killings, people are tired of your Mohammed lies and his 72virgins, they are tired of killing in the name of allah. Your women are tired of hijab nonsense, they revolting and getting killed or imprisoned.
A religion that force people to stay or get killed. People are waking up, stop dreaming.

If you are truly an Atheist then what concern you with which religion is better?

Atheist should be neutral

What are the Igbo Christians doing to bring progress to the Igbo other than being hateful, backward and constituting nuisance wherever they are?


Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, etc are Muslim countries and they are still miles ahead of Nigeria in every thing.

Islam is the second Religion after Christian in USA and it never stop the development of USA.

If Yoruba muslims are dragging the Yoruba backwards then what are Igbo Christians doing to move the Igbo forward other than smuggling drugs in Asia and constituting nuisance where ever they are?


You are just too stupid to be a Yoruba

You are total disgrace

Will there be progress in USA if Muslims are allowed to run the country? Will all the great women in US history not be said as belonging to the kitchen?
I will rather live in Nigeria than live under the dictatorship going on in Egypt (Egypt still depends on aids from US) and UAE where there is no freedom.


If we have to compare Muslim and Christian countries, Christian majority countries are mile ahead of Muslims majority countries
