Abstract 
The study is an attempt to examine the perennial incidents of religious crises in 
Nigeria which is ever on the increase, claiming hundreds of lives, destroying 
properties worth millions of naira. The colossal lose to violent religious conflicts 
in Nigeria did not end with loss of lives and properties. In fact, its attendant 
effects on peaceful co-existence, political stability and socio-economic 
development is beyond comprehension. Hardly can one speak of progress in 
Nigeria when our social, political, economic and religious systems fail to 
maintain at least a minimum level of social decorum. At the same time, 
sustainable and lasting religious peace across the nation have been aborted times 
without number owing to the recurrent cases of religious conflicts. As those 
religious conflicts linger on, distrust and suspicion became the order of the day, 
more especially between the adherents of Islam and Christianity in Nigeria. 
Though, there are records of occasional conflicts between African Traditional 
Religion and other religions for a number of reasons. These may include 
superiority complex, that is, claim of superiority by both Islamic and Christianity 
over the African Traditional religion and culture, disregard and contempt for 
African traditional religion and institutions. The paper, therefore, gave an 
overview of the general concept of conflicts, causes of conflicts in Nigeria as 
well as implications of conflicts in Nigeria. Historical method was adopted. The 
work recommended among other things that conscious efforts should be made by 
the adherents of Islam and Christianity in Nigeria to build bridges of religious 
understanding and religious respect. And to emulate the adherents of African 
Traditional Religion (ATR) that are more tolerant, and tolerance as a virtue is 
recommended in conflict management.
