ABSTRACT
Conflict is a fact of life, it is found among the religious groups and it can never be completely eradicated. The dream of any nation is to grow to an enviable height and fully maximize her potentials both in natural and human spheres of life endeavours. But this will only be possible in an environment devoid of crises, misunderstandings and wars, a situation that has eluded Nigeria not long after her independence in 1960. In multi-ethnic and religious diverse society like Nigeria, with some forms of contextual discrimination, relationships between people are characterized by lack of cordiality, mutual suspicion and fear as it is the case among the various components. There is still an increase of religious crises in Nigeria as a result of intolerance. Often, innocent citizens are killed purportedly in the name of God. Religion has now been transformed from a unifying and edifying force into a disintegrative element, which threatens the peace and security of lives and properties in Nigeria. The religious atmosphere in Nigeria compels one to believe that violence is complimentary to Christian-Muslim relations. It is on this premise that Samsudeen Saka, founder of Chrislamherb (Oke Tude) religious movement sought to bring together Christians and Muslims to worship together without rancor under one roof. This study evaluated the religious ideology of the founder of Chrislamherb (Oke Tude) movement, towards peaceful co-existence of religions, especially between Christianity and Islam in Nigeria. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Data were analyzed using socio-missiological approach which aims at investigating the trend of events in the society by the religious group in management of conflicts. The historical method which involves extensive fieldwork was also used. For the critical examination of the study, George Simmel’s theory of conflict as natural and Mary Parker Follet’s theory of human relations were used. The study discovered, using these two theories that resorting to violence as a means of resolving religious problems is dangerous. That the merging nature of the movement does not place one religion higher than the other. It is observed that the best element in any religious practice is love, and this has enabled the movement to practice the best elements in Christianity and Islam together under one canopy for the purposes of religious solidarity without bitterness or rancor. This study therefore submits that the religious ideology of Chrislamherb (Oke Tude) movement in the unification of the two major religions in Nigeria is an attempt to bring about peaceful coexistence of religions in Nigeria. This study therefore advocates the need for religious, government and other private agencies to join hands in creating an enabling environment that facilitates cross fertilization of ideas among the different faiths.
