It’s usually northerner that scream Muslims are more

We southerners that have lived in Yoruba land know the Christains are more

The leading political class may be Muslim Bisi Akande and Bola Tinubu
But Yoruba remains a predominantly Christain group
Even Tinubu knows he can’t try much religious wahala in lagos he will loose his empire in a second

The largely Yoruba Christain population in Lagos have favoured him over others

Actually Christians are more than Muslims in SW.
Rough analysis
Lagos...
Excluding Non Yorubas, Yorubas in Lagos are about 60% Muslims - 40% Christians.

Ogun
Excluding Non Yorubas, Yorubas in Ogun are about 80% Christians - 20%muslims

Oyo
Excluding Non Yorubas, Yorubas in Oyo are about 55% Muslims - 45% Christians.

Ondo
Excluding Non Yorubas, Yorubas in Ondo are about 91% Christians - 9%Muslims.

Ekiti
Excluding Non Yorubas, Yorubas in Ekiti are about 98% Christians - 2%Muslims

Osun
They are about 53%Muslims - 47%Christians.

Note that,
there are some towns in Ekiti that doesn't have any Muslim presence.
Only Akoko areas of Ondo State has significant Muslim population.


For me
Lagos - Yoruba christains - 60% Muslims 40%
Ogun - Yoruba Christains - 65% Muslim’s - 35%
Oyo - Yoruba Christains - 45% Muslim’s - 55%
Osun - Christains - 40% Muslims-60%
Ekiti - Christains -80% Muslim’s - 20%
Ondo - Christains -90% Muslim’s -10%
Kwara - Christains -25% Muslim’s - 75%
Kogi Yorubas - Christains - 80% Muslim’s - 20%

Overall christains - 52% Muslim’s -38% traditional -10%

Muslims in Lagos I believe are more than Christians who are YORUBA

Then the figure you gave to Muslims in ekiti is too much...

Muslims in ekiti are not many...

There are some towns in ekiti where you won't find a single Muslim except the Hausa and Fulani barrow pusher.

I should be able to agree with the rest.

So far kogi Yorubas ekiti and ondo have over 80% Christians populations.

Indigenous lAgisions May be predominantly Muslims but most Yorubas in Lagos are not from Lagos that’s why I think overall the Christains are more in Lagos

You are close to the truth but not there.
Osun has Oshogbo, Ede and few villages here and there with higher Muslims population but in all 60 Christians 40 Muslims.

In Lagos over 50% of Lagos are non yoruba settlers who are 98% Christians.
The yoruba are 55 :45 Christians to Muslims ratio

In ondo, they are not up to 5%. Check the governors in ondo since creation, only mimiko is a Muslim of which he's not even real one, his wife is a Christian.

In Ekiti, if the Muslims are up to 1% they try. It is hard to see Muslim in that state. No Muslim ever govern that state before. They can't even come out.

You're right! I do a lot of research work that involves the use of questionnaire and one on one interviews which shows a higher percentage of the Yorubas are Christians. They are more in Osun and Oyo states, but Ondo and Ekiti has very few, while Lagos and Ogun has a bit of both. However, my personal observation is that the Muslims support each other more, hence their ability to get financial aid easily and do better in businesses
big lie .....Muslims don't help Muslims financially in SW....even wen dey have dey would advice you to go acquire loan from lapo....

Right now Of 6 governors 5 are Christians. Sanwoolu Abiodun Makinde Fayemi and Akeredolu

Around 2012 about 5 governors were Moslems Fashola, Aregbe, Mimiko, Amosun and Ajimobi

Around 2007 5 governors were Christians Daniels, Agagu, Oyinlola, Fayose, Akala

Around 2002 about 3 governors were Moslems Tinubu, Lam, Akande while 3 were Xtians Adebayo Adefarati Osoba

Bottom line no religion dominates the political landscape, it revolves

sammy07 and osaze007

you also have to factor in that in Yorubaland many people cant be categorized as Xtians or Moslems because of intermarriages and they openly worship in both places

Tinubu is a Moslem his wife is a Xtian, what do you think the children are? Don't be surprised if the children are both. They go to church and go to mosque. Tinubu himself probably can recite bible and his wife recite koran. Same thing with Saraki, Ajimobi, fashola etc.

I know many people when its time for church they go, when its time for mosque they go

If an average Yoruba person has a small problem he will visit Alfa, Pastors and even Babalawo

To make the research more dynamic
Instead of asking for just one religion a lot of Yorubas practice traditional religion by their side

Only about 10% of the population practices pure traditionalist but
Safe to say 50% of Yoruba Christains visit babalawo

Gbenga daniel is a chronic juju man
Safe to say 50% of Yoruba Muslims visit babalawo
Everyone in Egba knew Amosun was a traditionalist

So
Yorubas most likely are 52% Christians 38% Muslims 10% traditionalist

But when you dig deeper
51% traditionalist
While the other 49% adheres strictly to foreign religion

I doubt the core traditionalists are up to 10%. Even the royal fathers even though traditionalists still have a religion, Ooni is a Christian he goes to church, Alaafin is a Moslem he attends Eid
Gani Adams sef na Moslem on the side
Those that are core traditionalists without any mixture are less than 5%

So I can say Xtians about 51%, Moslems about 46% and Traditionalists(without any mix) 3%

Its like a Venn diagram
