6. Nigeria
Total Christian Population: 80 510 000
In a study of Dr. Bulus Galadima and Dr. Yusufu Turaki, they discussed briefly the arrival of the Christian missions in Nigeria. The story of modern missions in the country began with the freed slaves in the Americas and Great Britain. These slaves, one of them was Bishop Samuel Ayaji Crowther, started spreading and building Christian missions on the West Coast of Africa. And in the 1970’s, there were around 50 mission agencies which operated in Nigeria. Over 45% of the population of Nigeria practices the teachings of Christianity.
