Thematic Interests

With the inseparability of religion and politics among Nigerians and Africans at large, it has become imperative to figure out the right Theo-Political thinking that can give answers to the yearning and agitation of the Nigerian/African people, promote interreligious dialogue, sustain democratic principles and equitable share of the commonwealth. The overall intention of my research interests is to be able to teach and influence future political leaders, policy makers, religious leaders with Theo-political ideas that will engender sincere religious dialogue, tribal co-existence, political stability, and holistic human development.
