Christian radio reaches three people groups in Nigeria http://www.mnnonline.org/article/9700 Nigeria (MNN/TWR) -- Three people groups. One country. One gospel. Different responses. This is what's happening with three of the languages Trans World Radio broadcasts to in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa.
The tall, dark Kanuri people number over 5 million strong people are mostly farmers who are from another major religion. Less than .01 percent of the people are evangelical Christians. There are some believers, but no formal church. The Hausa people are also of another religion with less than .01 percent evangelicals, but more believers can be found as well as the number of churches. And in southern Nigeria, the situation is much different. The Yoruba people, the third largest language group in the country with 25 million speakers, have practiced various indigenous religions such as voodoo. Recently, however, they've undergone a significant change and many are turning to Christ. TWR broadcasts daily half hour programs in the Yoruba language, and the church is growing. TWR is asking for prayer. As they begin broadcasting in mid-2007 from its new transmitting site in Benin, which boarders Nigeria, the current outreach in the country will only be strengthened, as several of the languages are already being prepared for broadcast. http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
