With a population of almost 115 million people, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation, and although the country is rich in agricultural land, mineral resources, and oil reserves a third of the population lives below the poverty line. Nigeria is located just below the African segment of the 10/40 window which is comprised primarily of Muslim countries. The Islamic influence extends down into Nigeria and the northern part of Nigeria is primarily Muslim, but Christianity has taken root in the south. The church in Nigeria is in an ideal position to launch mission outreaches into the unevangelized northern areas and is hard at work spreading the truth about Jesus Christ.

This country, once known as the white man’s graveyard because so many missionaries from Europe and America were affected by tropical fevers there, is now sending out Nigerian Missionaries. In 2009 The Tide began broadcasting in Nigeria using the Efik language. Nigeria is home to over 490 ethnic groups and 470 indigenous languages.  Approximately two million Nigerian people speak and understand Efik. Our prayer is that our broadcasts, and the literature and tapes that we distribute there in Nigeria will help to strengthen and build the Nigerian church and encourage Nigerian Christians not only to mature in their faith, but to boldly continue in their mission efforts to share their faith in Jesus Christ.

Recently, thanks to listener requests and your support, our Nigerian broadcasts now include ministries in the Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa languages--three major languages in Nigeria. With the Hausa language, the Nigerian Muslim community's native tongue, we have been able to save many people who have been unsatisfied with and frightened by their own Muslim background.
