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.
