Religious pluralism threatens Nigeria's social stability and its hard-won democracy by pitting different religious and cultural beliefs, particularly of new, radical Christian evangelical and fundamentalist Muslim sects, against one another. Religious pluralism is fostered by the Nigerian Constitution's promise of religious freedom, by the right to travel and reside in the country, and by Nigeria's participation in the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). This article examines the problems of religious pluralism, religious and cultural differences, and social instability in Nigeria. In so doing, it analyzes the religious rights granted to every Nigerian by the Nigerian Constitution. It also discusses the religious differences mi...

There is clearly a high level of talent among Nigerian journalists, and a number of high quality publications, but what we are trying to accomplish is an alternative business model, whereby the advertising and editorial pressure during future election cycles will not impact the quality of the product," said Executive Editor Salisu Suleiman, who previously served a ten-year term as an Information Officer of the Federal Government of...

Those familiar with Fela Anikulapo Kuti's work and his festival-like concerts will be struck by the precision and accuracy of [Bill T. Jones]' production.

One picture on the wall is the center of attention for Sahr Ngaujah, who portrays Fela with astonishing believability. It's a depiction of Fela's mother. Like her offspring, she was a political activist who died after she was thrown from a window by the Nigerian army. The army and the government of Nigeria were constantly harassing Fela and his followers, and his mother was a victim following a raid at Kalakuta, a commune founded by Fela in the ...
