Hinduism is a minority faith in Nigeria. Hinduism spread to Nigeria primarily through the arrival of Hindus from India and by way of ISKCON. Sindhis were the first to arrive in Nigeria in the early part of the nineteenth century.[1][2] Most of the ethnic Nigerian Hindus were converted to Hinduism by the works of ISKCON.[3]
