A man has expressed surprise after discovering a church, a traditional shrine and a mosque situated within close proximity to one another on the same street.
The unusual arrangement caught his attention as he moved through the area and filmed the three places of worship, drawing attention to how different religious traditions appeared to coexist within the neighbourhood.
In the footage, the man first showed what he identified as a traditional shrine positioned opposite a church before turning the camera towards a mosque located nearby.
Man reacts to unusual location of worship centres
What appeared to surprise the man most was not the presence of the individual religious centres, but how closely they were situated to one another.
The video showed buildings associated with the three faith traditions occupying the same immediate area, with the church reportedly standing opposite the shrine while the mosque was only a short distance away.
The exact location where the video was recorded was not provided, and no information was available about how long the respective worship centres had operated in the area.
Religious centres on same street attract attention
The unusual sight has provided a striking example of different religious practices existing within the same neighbourhood.
Nigeria is home to Christianity, Islam and various traditional belief systems, making religious diversity visible in different communities across the country.
However, seeing worship centres representing all three traditions positioned so close together was enough to leave the man surprised and prompt him to document the scene.
No dispute or confrontation between the worship centres was shown in the footage.

This can only be found in Yorùbá land.
Church, shrine and mosque almost at the same location.
Between! Where two or three are gathered, God is present.
