Nigeria In Maps: Politics, Healthcare, Poverty And Etc.

Nigeria is a country with a lot of controversies. However, they become less complicated if we look at a set of maps by the BBC which illustrate Nigeria according to different criteria.
1. Political views
Mainly supported by Christian and animist south, Jonathan became the president in 2011 with 59.6% of the votes, while Muhammadu Buhari had most backing in the largely Muslim north. It was the first time a vote had split the country along these lines. Defections by state governors have since changed the country’s political map.

2. Ethnic map
Nigeria is also divided among numerous ethno-linguistic groups. The Hausa-Fulani people, based in the north are mostly Muslims. The Yorubas of the south-west are split between Muslims and Christians and the Igbos of the south-east and neighbouring groups are mostly Christian or animist.

Nigeria Will Survive Presidential Poll –Okotie


Founder and head pastor of the Household of God Church, Rev. Chris Okotie, has finally spoken on the postponed general elections in Nigeria.
According to a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Okotie, a two-time presidential candidate, condemned those who threaten “to set the nation on fire” should their candidate lose the oncoming presidential poll.
The clergyman also added that the election “should never be regarded as a referendum on the corporate survival of Nigeria.”
He said the country’s oneness was settled during the Civil War; and that the upcoming election would not break the country, just as past critical political upheavals that challenged its unity in the past.

Okotie, who insisted that the country’s “unity was purchased at a high price,” described the past ethnic crises, including the civil war, as sibling rivalries. Hence, he said, they were resolved internally without “violent separation.”
