Abstract
This article examines how African continent that consist of 54
countries, out of which many of these have shown lot of potential for development
like South Africa, Mauritius and Nigeria still have not been able to undertake
rapid development due to ethno-religious conflicts and social inequality. One
finds that, Nigeria has the largest population and economy in African continent
and in recent years has undertaken lot of reforms nevertheless has been
crippled by democratic instability, poverty, social inequality and religious
violence. Nigeria has plenty of problems at hand where in right after
independence in 1960, it started on the path of democracy but soon intervention
by military dictator has derailed the process of development in the country.
Nigeria is said to be a country where it is estimated that about 54% population
consist of Muslims and 46% population are Christian. Christian and Muslims have
sizeable population Both the religious communities compete for land and other
natural resources by the way of political domination. As a result of which we
find that generally, the President of the country would either belong to
Christian community and other time a Muslim community.
