| Religion and Peace-Building in Africa |
| It is generally accepted in some quarters that religion constitutes the second nature of the African people. Religion, no doubt, permeates the way of life of an African. It dictates the likes and dislikes of an African. No wonder J. S. Mbiti observed that “Africans are notoriously religious.”1 Religion is such a powerful force that can be used to make or mar a particular society. It can serve as a tool for unity or disunity depending on how it was employed. In recent times, Africa has been engulfed with series of security challenges and violent conflicts, some of which can be attributed to religious intolerance. In Nigeria, for instance, there are cases of religious crises almost on a daily basis. Human beings are killed and properties are destroyed on the ground of religious violence. |
