Naajjii:The major population of Nasarawa state is Karu LGA. Mararaba, nyanya, Masaka down to Auta etc these are mainly Christians of Southern and Middlebelt extractions. Together with the indigenous Christians make up 70% of the state. When Abacha created Nasarawa in 1996 he posted a muslim Military administrator there and made Lafiya the Capital as against Akwanga all due same Islamisation agenda 2 Likes |

Naajjii:Hmmm.that means many eggons are traditional woshippers or pagans and i once said that many of the people the media tag muslims or christians are pagans and they are many in the north central and may be up to 20% of nigeriab population. That aside help me with the religious breakdown of the 13 lgas of nasarawa if you can |

ZKOSOSO:Between akwanga and lafia,which is the largest and most developed as of then? We are talking of religious population of indigenous nasarawa people not settlers.most people in karu as you alleged are Christians.i think nasarawa is 55% christian 1 Like |

ZKOSOSO:Who gave you the statistic who gave you the figure? So there no Middlebelt or whatever you call that of Muslims extraction? This is the mistake you people are making , you are making this Central Nigeria a christian thing , we the muslim north central Nigeria are watching you people. You are Majority in Plateau and Benue we are more in Niger,Kogi and Kwara then FCT and Nassarawa is evenly divided, add that to the large population of hasusa people who came from the far north to settle most have become indigence, what makes you think you are majority in Central Nigeria? 2 Likes |

Naajjii:Think you have a problem accepting the Truth as usually the style of Fulanis anywhere you find them. Middlebelt itself is all about Northern minorities /Christians They are the 90% of the Middlebelt. While the rest Muslims in the region are less than 10% Anyone other than HausaFulanisKanuri Muslims in the north are Middlebelters.....! So grow up and belong..! |

senatordave1:Muslims are more , most times they count traditionalist as Christians for example in Kogi state there are alot of Igalas who are traditionalist but since they are non muslims people like the OP always include them as Christians, we just discovered that from recent research 1 Like 1 Share |

Naajjii:My brother,the bolded is very crucial.i discovered it last year.it is very difficult for a Muslim to also operate or combine Islam with paganism but it is very easy for christians to do so esp at the rural areas.in my community in cross river,most people are pagans but the media will all count them as Christians.same applies in the north central.its easy to tag non Muslims as christians than Muslims.if we actually go deep into these areas the op sees as christisn dominated,a lot of them are pagans even in benue 1 Like |

abduljabbar4: Okay, well I am available for the argument, maybe the person who you argued with knows nothing about Christian population in the north. People like us have been in this field for the last 10 years. Christians are naturally passive people and that is why muslims take us for granted. Kwangila & Palladan are more like a 50-50. But Samaru, Wusasa & Sabongari are a clear Christian majority. A place like Wusasa is not even in question. Everyone has always known that Wusasa is like the native Christian part of Zaria. Yes there are Muslims in these places, but are there no Christians in the heavily muslim parts of Zaria as well? Look below and see the screenshot of Google maps from a neighborhood in Samaru. Can u see the number of churches there? 5 Likes

Subduer: Christians couldn't see or notice these things then in the past, cos they still trusted the muslims with their hearts and saw everybody as one... Anyway you are very correct. Middlebelt generals were the biggest foools in Nigeria. Many of them have realized their mistakes and began to retrace their steps except for that old idiiot called Yakubu Gowon. I pray God keeps him longer to see how his one Nigeria will eventually end in shambles and he dies a shameful death. 9 Likes |

senatordave1: See, things in the south and in the north are not done in the same way or the same manner. Let me ask you a question. What caused the first religious crisis in Jos in 1993? I am sure u will never know it! It was the creation of Jos north LGA. There was once 1 Jos LGA where all parts of Jos and Bukuru were included. The indigenes of Plateau state then requested for the creation of Federe LGA but IBB rejected it and created Jos north with the hope of a muslim majority there, but it failed. This event lead to an outcry and unrest all over old Plateau state cos everyone was aware of the reason behind this. This is something everybody knows. Even the Hausa fulani knows. If you ask them, they'll tell you. Babangida created Jos north in order to give the Hausa fulani settlers a place where they could have a political stake! Like half of the Christian parts of Jos were pushed into Jos south LGA and merged with Bukuru and hundreds of other villages & rural areas. Why? In Kaduna state, can u explain why Sabo that was in old Kaduna LGA was pushed into Chikun LGA while Tudunwada that is north of the river was taken into Kaduna south LGA? Kaduna river is the divider between Kaduna city north & South and it was supposed to be the basis of the division of Old Kaduna LGA into Kaduna north & south LGAs. How then on Earth, did places in the north of the river fall into Kaduna south LGA? Is that not broad daylight voodoo? See, when people like us say things like this, no Hausa fulani muslims can ever dare to argue or challenge these things because they know that it is true. So, as a Southerner, I don't even think I owe you explanation of these things. Cos u will never understand them. If u must argue, Bring facts from the north to counter these claims of mine, not from the south where religion is not an issue. If u want to make comparisons btw the South & North, you ask questions like, why do core-northern states have more federal constituencies than southern states on average? Has Kano ever been more populated than Lagos for it to have twice the number of Federal constituencies that Lagos has? 11 Likes |

pazienza: Thank you. I think I know you on Facebook. Is your first name Christopher? And were you once on the forum PROUDLY ANIOMA, PROUDLY IGBO? Not just me. Most Northern christians of my generation have grown farther apart from the core-north mentally over the years. If you put Hausa fulanis, my people and Southerners together in one place, you will see my people relate with Southerners far better than we do with Hausa fulanis. This was not the case with the previous generations. I was even surprised when I went to Jos, Kaduna, Adamawa e.t.c to see the strong receptiveness of my people towards Igbos. Many strongly favor us being pro Biafran ![]() I knew it was just a matter of time for my generation to completely change the tide and direction of things. The only problem we have is that some old idiiots like Yakubu Gowon who put us in our current predicament still dominate our socio-cultural, traditional and political space. That is why we the youth are gradually coming together to put these old idiiots where they belong. 7 Likes |

Nowenuse:Before 1861,kano was the most populous area in Nigeria.the north west has the highest population therefore it will get the highest political units.kano and lagos both have 24 federal constituencies and 40 state seats.so,you lie.katsina has 15 federal seats,kaduna 16.they are very populated.rivers and oyo also have 13 federal seats. Kebbi 9,sokoto 9,zamfara7,jigawa 11.delta 10,akwa ibom 10,edo 8,cross river 8.there's almost equality.borno 10,yobe 6,bauchi 11,taraba 7,adamawa 9.anambra 11,abia 8,imo 10,enugu 8,ebonyi 6.almost the same. Jos south usually votes for pdp or for Christian inclined candidates while jos north most times goes for Muslim inclined candidates which means Muslims outnumber christians in jos north. 1 Like |

senatordave1: Where have I ever claimed that there are no Hausas in the middlebelt? Just that majority of them are settlers. Why should I count settlers in a situation where I am counting native populations? Are you aware that Kebbi south right from colonial days was part of Niger province? It was Wuruwuru by the core northerners during state creation that prevented them from being in Niger state.... So u want me to count them as Hausas or what? People who are in their ancestral lands? There are Igbos and Christian settlers in good numbers all over core-northern cities, do we also count these ones as part and parcel of those states when we are considering indigenous populations? Take Kano city or any Hausa city for instance, do you know the large population of the muslims there who are not Hausa fulanis? Do you know that at least 30% of the muslims you see in Kano, Kaduna, Zaria, Jos e.t.c are not Hausa fulani by ethnicity? They are Nupes, Ebiras, Igalas, Auchi (Etsakos), Yorubas, Baribas, Alagos, Kanuris, Buras e.t.c? Are you aware that a Nupe man and a Bura man have been governors of Kano state? An Ebira man governor of Bauchi? You cannot be talking of the presence of Hausa settlers in the middlebelt and ignore than of Middlebelt settlers in the Core-north. That is madness. 5 Likes |
