Women in Nigeria really have a real to play. both genders have often been on the stage fighting for equality. In Nigeria are women really allowed ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nast Nephaeus Tepikor (talk • contribs) 08:44, 4 September 2020 (UTC) 

Yes Women are allowed, it is getting better now than the Ages. Though we can increase the population of women who are allowed by creating awareness, What do you think? Leezie eia (talk) 10:20, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Religion in Nigeria

What sources are there to claim Nigeria’s 53% population is Muslim? Nlivataye (talk) 09:54, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.html which is supported by https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/2001/5687.htm that says approximately half the population practices Islam. There are a number of figures and sources in the Religion section, and I encourage you to read them. Sjö (talk) 18:56, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Nigerian Muslim is more than 53 %, if we considered with the 3 tribe in Nigeria i.e Hausa Fulani, Yoruba and Kanuri, are major tribes in Nigeria. So 99, % of Hausa Fulani are Muslim and 60% of Yoruba are Muslim and History and analysis shows that 99.9% of Kanuri are Muslims, and those Kanuri people if go there and to find a Christian or other person that practicing any religion is hardly to get. So Muslims is more than 53 % of Nigerian. Iadamumar (talk) 11:05, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

SDG 1 and 2: Nigeria is not doing well

SDG 1&2 states about No poverty and Zero hunger by the year 2030.The achievability in a developing economy such as Nigeria is very doubtful. Observation of the recent hikes in prices of staple Food such as rice,beans,yam etc and the hardship that accompanied the price hikes on the teeming poor population is better imagined. In the 2015, a bag of 50kg rice sold for N5000 was hikes to N23,000 in the current year 2020.

The SDG started counting from 2015,so we are past one- third of the time duration,remaiy another 10 years.This shows that no progress has been made to eradicate poverty and Zero hunger, instead of the economic decadence Nigerians are subjected to due to the hike in the prices of the staple foods. The Government will only roll out huge figures of investment in the Agricultural sector but a closer look at the claim revealed that most small scale farmers are excluded. For the SDG 1&2 to be attained, there is the need for a radical review of the policies and procedures to Target the largely poor populations Unclebakky2020 (talk) 06:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Section Headings

I think we should just put some section headings, unbold them, and make them look more beautiful. I originally came to ask for permission to edit the page and then, do what I intended to do in my above made statements. What should I do? Should I just Leave it like that, or add headings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikola Tesla edit (talk • contribs) 21:06, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
