    Quite a lot. I correspond with Nigerian church leaders regularly. Do you have particular questions?

    Yes but this is something of a regional problem. Nigeria is a conglomeration of territory that no well-intentioned person would have combined into one country. (A number of the African countries have this problem but Nigeria is the largest.) The country has some regions which are majority Muslim just as certain tribes make up super majorities in various places. This results in not only Muslims oppressing Christians, but Christians oppressing other Christians due to tribal differences.
