Nasboi, has shared a story about his religious upbringing and why he identifies as both a Muslim and a Christianity. The entertainer made the revelation on his X page, explaining that his diverse background made it difficult for him to see religion or ethnicity as dividing lines. Nasboi said he grew up in a home where both Islam and Christianity coexisted peacefully.
His father is a Yoruba Muslim, while his mother hails from Warri and is a devout Christian. He wrote: “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.”
He noted that living in different parts of Nigeria exposed him to multiple cultures and shaped his neutral approach to faith and ethnicity. When a fan asked him directly about his religion, Nasboi gave an unexpected but humorous reply: “I am Christmus [both Christian and Muslim],” he said.
