Poverty of Yoruba Islamism and Fulani Ethno-Islamic Conspiracy

Ethnic and religious politics have remained the major vexatious Nigerian nationality question. POVERTY OF YORUBA ISLAMISM AND FULANI ETHNO-ISLAMIC CONSPIRACY¿ From Aare Afonja to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu presents a clinical analysis of how successive attempts by the Yoruba Muslim political leadership to forge alliance with the Fulani Muslim oligarchy have always ended up as a contraction to the underlying common Yoruba historical consciousness and how such a contradiction has often driven a strong political wedge in the collective political unity of the Yoruba nation. The work is not only intellectually challenging but a topical necessity at the present state of Nigerian nationality question.
