Same for a number of other places in Africa and around the world. I doubt they really know what’s going on right now.
The Nigerian understanding of religion is fascinating. They just take what they need from any place they want. In the western world most people stick with the faith they were born in, or maybe switch once or twice in their lifetime. In Nigeria it’s common to switch very frequently, always taking the parts they like best and leaving behind the rest.
It’s a very open and interesting way to look at things, not so much tied to their own personal identity (“I am protestant, so I must hate catholics” as it used to be common in the west), but instead they build their own faith from all the best sources they can find.
That’s hilarious, if true.
Really shows how culture can be shaped over time.
Nothing in that explains why the majority of the population would have favourable views of Israel. There are several things that would appear to support the opposite actually, such as the Nigerian government arresting and deporting the Israeli film crew.
