“…The high priests were always the points of contact with the Gods -and in key communal issues, the high priests advised the kings and elders. Political control remained with the kings and elders but religion held much sway that the high priests also influenced the masses and key decisions (Areh, Onwuama & Ajah, 2020;Wantu, 2018). With this level of communal process in decision-making, misinterpretation of religious laws or rituals was unlikely.…”

“…The complete loyalty benefitted the kings and rulers since the synchronicity kept governance very simple and easily controllable. The rulers had little opposition and there was no motivation to misinterpret or influence the misinterpretation of the Gods' commands (Wantu, 2018;Olalekan, Olokor, Hanafi & Charles, 2018). In places in the north, the ruling class was established and no opposing force existed.…”

“…The earlier people that lived in smaller societies had few religious leaders that interpreted religious laws and rituals -and there were no easy means to find or connect with similar cultures or more aggressive versions of their cultures. The implication is that even if anyone developed more radicalized versions of the religions at the time, it will be difficult to find support or followers since no connecting precedence existed (Wantu, 2018;Achunike, 2009). But with trade across the border in northern Nigeria and the coming of colonialism, these patches were exposed to foreigners and extremist ideas that could have failed hitherto now find references, supports, and sympathizers -and found acceptance to grow.…”

Fanaticism has brewed into different forms in the Nigerian context – and the gravest is religious fanaticism. It has taken hold of most clans, religions, and ethnic groups across Nigeria. Religion has always existed in Nigerian societies and also has fanaticism but the level of violence precipitated by this fanaticism is apparently unprecedented. This paper journeys into the beginning of religious fanaticism in Nigeria and its changing patterns of violence. It highlights the root causes of religious violence in Nigeria and visible patterns in this violence. The paper adopted structural-functionalism theoretical formation and gathered data from textbooks, e-books, journals, online articles, newspapers, and magazines. At the end, the paper recommends that Nigerian governments initiate comprehensive programs to reconcile the religious differences that have evolved over time between Christianity, Islam, and African Traditional Religions.
