Are there any such cities or small towns in Nigeria where the indigenes are relatively tolerant to other people's religious beliefs or non-beliefs? Towns that are relatively free of religious fundermentalism and bigotry where more tolerant folks can coexist without the constant harrassments of religious bigots?

Please, if there are such communities in Nigeria, can you guys give some mentions in here. I am quite interested in such communities because i have no intention of living within religious bigot infested cities for the rest of my life when i get back home. I want a peaceful coexistent with everybody who will accept as a human being while i do the same thing to them. This is very important to me and to all tolerant and peaceful people.

Thanks.

Or perhaps anyone can point me to an index, if such an index exists.

none and it is a pity!

Both christian and Islam alike.

An average Nigerian is religiously intolerant.

Are you sure about that? There has to be quite a few around. Nigeria is a big country.

Haba! Not one mention of a single town till now! Abi na so e bad reach? Not one single town in Nigeria where the indigenes keep their spirituality or their religiousity to themselves? Incredible!

You are on your own oooo. Even president Jonathan said on CNN that we're a religious society.

My guy, you did not read my post well. I know that nigeria has a religious society. I am not looking for a religion free town to live in. I am looking for tolerant nigerian towns where people keep their religiousity to themselves, instead of accosting people on the road or even in their homes and beating them in the head with their bibles or qurans. Are you trying to tell me that such tolerant towns are impossible to find in the whole of Nigeria? I refuse to believe that. Maybe i am asking in the wrong forum.

Lol thats exactly what i'm trying to say. Nigerians include religion in all they do including when looting

lol, nigerians with their jesus & mohammed ))))))))))))))))

even if you go to the remote village you will findout that they have all been infected with the god virus.

You must mean the christian and islamic god virus. Africans have always had a concept of God. But despite that, they have always been tolerant. But it takes the infection of the christian or the islamic god virus to make people both intolerant and bleeping fanatics.

This is very sad, indeed. Maybe i should seriously start considering living in Ghana, or some other more tolerant african country. I just can't live with intolerance of any kind, most especially religious. It makes me sick. Religious folks who are intolerant of others because difference in ideologies emanate such bad vibes to pollute the environment in which they exist. And when they are many in a community, such negative vibes can be overwhelming to sensitive people like myself. This is the main reason why i have never, and will never live in the northern parts of Nigeria. I can feel the negative vibes right up to where i am at right now(in europe), talkless of living in Nigeria.

@jagunlabi,
you may really be surprised that you will find more tolerance in northern nigeria among moslems that in southern nigeria among christains.

i say so because i used to live in southern nigeria and christains did not allow me to rest because i am not one of them.

there is no physical violence but you will find your psychic space being invaded all the time with unwanted prayers and people who want to convert you by all means.

it was so bad that my neighbour stopped answering my greetings when she discovered that i was an Eckist and even went ahead to bring her pastor for a midnight prayer to rain prayers on my head and bind and cast me into bottomless pit. throughout the night i could not sleep because of the noise coming from her room. when of course the prayers failed, she started avoiding me but that did not bother me at all.

from morning till night you are bombarded with noise on the streets, noise in public buses and noise in public places and all you keep on hearing is repent or go to hell.

so i left the south and came to the north and since then i have been enjoying myself. moslems do not go out of their way to impose their beliefs on you and there is no preaching noise in public buses. and no noise on the streets.

the only problem with northern nigeria is the occasional riots that occur from time to time and the riots are more of political than religious.

if you will like to stay in nigeria i will suggest Abuja, the capital city for now. there is peace and security in Abuja and none of the annoying religious noises you hear in the south.
