Abstract

This paper explores politico-religious cum historical perspectives in analyzing a crucial issue: the infusion of politics in religion and its consequences in Northern Nigeria. It commences with the definition of key concepts; politics, religion and conflict. This is followed with an analysis of the religious taxonomy of Northern Nigeria, interlaced with concerns of its overlap to other regions in the country. The crux of the paper provides a compelling and engaging narrative of the political and religious nexus and its attendant consequences. The paper concludes with some recommendations on the decoupling of politics from religion in a bid to reduce the religious crisis that have been prevalent in Northern Nigeria.
