Nigeria has a population of 158 million, 51% of which are Christians (South) . 45% are Muslim (North). Life expectancy is almost 48 years and literacy is at 69%. Corruption is a large evil in each level of society in Nigeria. Constitutionally, Nigeria is a secular nation with a freedom of religion, but Muslims receive preferential treatment while Christians get discriminated against. Islamic violent groups are growing and Muslim leaders are imposing shari'a law in 13 states. Nigeria is labeled as one of the world's most corrupt societies, with its e-mail scams, drug trading, embezzlement, and international crime. The North and South have constant tension, but Church grow is making large strides, though there is a great need for focus, leadership, and discipleship; some of the largest prayer meetings in history have been held in Nigeria.
For the safety and security of these missionaries, last names have been abbreviated.
