Over the years, religious sectarianism has threatened the corporate existence of Nigeria. Christianity and Islam have spread rapidly in the country at the expense of indigenous religions become dominant. Since 1980, sectarian violence, resulting in thousands of death, injuries, and arrests has engulfed the country creating a general sense of insecurity. This paper looks at the sectarian clashes in Nigeria and their ramification on the internal cohesion of the country. Aside the violence in Nigeria, the paper discovered that these clashes are likely to continue until the Nigerian government recognizes that the problem requires more than military action, as those clashes have in fact much stronger concerns like the uneven distribution of power and wealth.
