  • Protestantyzm w Nigerii – składa się z ponad 4000 denominacji funkcjonujących w Nigerii. Według różnych statystyk obejmuje od 26 do 42% ludności Nigerii (wliczając rodzime Kościoły afrochrześcijańskie). Szczególnie popularny wśród ludności Joruba, Ijaw i Edo. Najwięcej wiernych (ponad 10 mln) posiadają anglikanie, zielonoświątkowcy i rodzime Kościoły afrykańskie. Inne wspólnoty liczące więcej jak 1 milion wiernych to: baptyści, Ewangeliczny Kościół Zachodniej Afryki, metodyści, Kościoły Chrystusowe, kalwini i luteranie. (pl)
  • Протестантизм в Нигерии — крупнейшее направление христианства в стране. По данным исследовательского центра Pew Research Center в 2010 году в Нигерии проживало 59,7 млн протестантов, которые составляли 37,7% населения страны. За последние 40 лет численность прихожан протестантских церквей значительно выросла; в 1970 году в стране было лишь 10 млн протестантов (или 18,5% населения). (ru)
