Abstract

The origins, causes and effects of religious oppressions on the Nigerian politics is the focus of this study. It argues that Nigeria would have been more united if Christianity and Islam-the two universal religions were not introduced into the country. If Nigerians were allowed to continue to practice the traditional religion which also had in it the politics of the people, the Nigerian nation would have been united religiously and politically irrespective of numerous tribes and tongues. The study which drew heavily from secondary sources of data is historically descriptive in method. In its findings, the study discovered that the chaotic, unstable, poverty stricken nature of Nigeria is as a result of the incursions of these two great religions which dominated the various ethnic groups, and further divided Nigeria along political lines leading to discriminations and divisions along ethnic lines. The study then recommend among others that religion should be put far apart from politics since the two have different focus entirely. Good leadership can produce a petrifugal effect since religion has a centrifugal effect.
