LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Popular Nigerian skitmaker and musician Nasboi is making waves on social media after declaring that he identifies as both a Muslim and a Christian.
The entertainer, whose real name is Lawal Nasiru, opened up about his unique religious perspective in a recent post on his X page.
In the viral post, Nasboi shared that his upbringing in a multi-faith household shaped his worldview.
His father, a Yoruba Muslim, and his mother, a Christian from Warri, raised him in Port Harcourt, an environment he says helped him develop a neutral stance on religious and tribal matters.

“My papa Yoruba, my mama Warri. My papa Muslim, my mama Christian. I was born and raised in Port Harcourt. I studied at the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom. This is why I can never relate to tribalism or all the religious agendas,” Nasboi wrote.
The comedian made the statement while responding to a fan who inquired about his religion. In a witty response that quickly caught attention, he described himself as “Christmus,” a playful blend of Christian and Muslim.
While some fans applauded his inclusive take on religion, others accused him of being “confused” or not taking faith seriously. The post has since ignited a wider conversation on religious identity, especially among Nigerian youth navigating complex cultural backgrounds.
