It was discovered that at 0.05 level of significance, the P-value was less than 0.05, meaning, there was a significant difference in children ever born across religious affiliation among young women in Nigeria. The BONFERRONI test revealed that young Christians women were less likely to have more children comp;rred to young women who were adherents to the Islamic faith or other religions.

A further analysis revealed that the disparity in children e_ver born to young women across religious group was due to any of the following factors; Level of Education, wealth index, place of residence and marital statuses. ·However in the face of these aforementionecl factors, religious affiliation becomes incapacitated in deciding the fertility behaviour of young women in Nigeria.
