Abstract
Nigeria, with over 250 ethnic groups distributed among the two major religions of Christianity and Islam, was engulfed in a catalogue of ethnic and religious resentments up to 1967, which eventually culminated in the thirty-month Nigeria–Biafra War (1967–1970). This paper examines the manifestations of ethnic tension, resentments, and sectarian violence in Nigeria up to 1967, highlighting their causes and proposing new management strategies for the control of this social phenomenon, which is fast becoming a permanent feature of the Nigerian social landscape. The study relied on a qualitative research methodology, sustained by extensive secondary sources.
