and political violence in Nigeria. It observes that even though religion
plays a pivotal role in triggering violence in Nigeria, other factors play a vital
role. It outlines some dangers of ethno-religious and political violence to the
Nigerian socio economic and political development and existence. The study
submits that if Nigeria must survive from the dangers of ethno-religious and
political violence, Nigerian leaders must adopt superior humanistic ideologies
that will ensure mutual respect, beneficial relationships, justice, equity and
fairness to everybody.
