The Rev. Abare Kallah talks about how early Christian missionaries and Colonial "masters" teamed up to "evangelize" persons in Nigeria, resulting in a politicized and compromised theology that carry profound implications to this day. Why are there more "sons and daughters of (Muslim) Emirs" engaged in Nigerian business and politics than those of Christians? Could this fact lead to some of the religious tensions that exist in Nigeria? Understanding religion in the CONTEXT of its historical frame is the first step to addressing religious extremism.
