Describe the religious conflict in Nigeria. What are factors that contribute to the violence?

The religious conflict is Nigeria is a very serious one, and it brings in lot of instability, violence, death, in the country. The reason why this happens is mainly because big portion of the population is uneducated, so the religious authorities that very often are extremists, use that and control the people with ease in order to satisfy their own twisted ideologies.  

 The fact that the Christians and the Muslims have traditionally had conflicts with each other, preaching hatred towards the other religious groups, and open call for violence, had made a mess of the country, and unfortunately it doesn't seem that the government has a solution for the situation.

Although Nigeria has had a democratic government since 1999, the country faces major social, political, and economic challenges. Charges of election fraud and embezzlement have marred the government. High unemployment, widespread poverty, and an unequal distribution of wealth have created ongoing economic problems. At the forefront of the nation's problems, however, is the ongoing religious conflict between the Muslim north and the Christian south. Sharia law was enacted in 1999 in the Muslim areas, and many are pushing to make Sharia law apply to the entire nation. Violence is common and is particularly bad in the "Middle Belt," or middle region, which divides the nation in half. Politicans exploit these religious differences for political gain, which adds to the struggles the country is facing.
