Christianity in Nigeria represents one of several religious traditions in the country, including Islam and Traditional African religions.
Christianity arrived to Nigeria in the 15th century through Augustinian and Capuchin monks from Portugal.[citation needed] By 2020, it accounted for an estimated 46.18% of the Nigerian population; two-thirds of which are Protestant.[1] According to the Pew Research Center, in 2011, Nigeria had the largest Christian population of any country in Africa, with more than 80 million people in Nigeria belonging to various denominations.[2] Christianity is the majority religion in the southern and central region in Nigeria.[citation needed] The 2021-2023 Afrobarometer survey found that 54.2% of Nigerians were Christian and 45.5% were Muslim.[3][better source needed]
