ETHNO-RELIGIOUS IDENTITIES IN NIGERIA. IMPLICATIONS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA
Abstract
When conflicts have not occurred, or have somehow abated, associated tensions have remained high, with all the attendant negative consequences on the country’s socio-political and economic development.
Under the current democratic epoch, competitive partisan political activities are being used as a means of mobilizing groups, rigidly reinforcing identities, often infused with excessive religiosity, violent youth gangs and militants being formed and armed, and ethnic tensions and conflicts being facilitated.
This is not to say that expressions of ethno-religious identities are always violent. Before narrowing down to specifics, the paper conceptualizes ethno-religious identities and analyzes the causes, extent, magnitude, and implications. The paper concludes by proposing solutions to Nigeria’s ethno-religious problems in order to promote good governance.
Keywords: Good Governance, Conflicts, Ethno-religious Identities, Civilizational Clashes, and Nigeria.
