    This study gave an assessment of Roman 13:1-7 as a premise for the study of the implication of good governance in Nigeria. The study examined the position of Paul’s message in Roman 13:1-7 that Christians should co-operate with people in position of authority in the light of democracy and good governance. The Christian’s perspectives on contemporary democracy were examined critically. Views of Biblical scholars on Romans 13:1-7 were explored because of the importance it attached to the study. Methods employed in this work include historical, narrative and exegetical. The exegetical study of Roman 13:1-7 facilitated a comprehensive examination of the content and context of the text to enhance precise interpretation. The paper concluded with challenges for Christians in the governance and suggestions on what role the church can play in encouraging Christians in government, by setting good examples of good governance among their fold, then it will be possible to encourage church/state relationship. Keywords: Good governance, Democracy, Justice, Good authority

    Ethno-Religious Violence, Herdsmen and Terrorist Phenomena in Nigeria: A Hoax or a Reality” Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies
    (Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, 5, (2), 30-43. https://cognizancejournal.com/volume-5-issue-2/website, 2025-02-13) Daniel, M. T. and Iyanda, S. E.
    Nigeria has witnessed many conflicts in the last three decades, ranging from political, economic to ethno-religious conflicts. Religion and ethnicity have emerged as the constantly used elements in fueling crisis in Nigeria, due to the fact that it is a pluralistic society in terms of its ethnic, religious, cultural, economic and ecological diversities. The objectives of the paper were to see the reality or the hoax of the various ethno-religious violence, herdsmen attacks and terrorism in Nigeria. The study made use of historical and analytical methods of research to achieve the focus of this paper. It is admitted by some scholars that Nigeria is a British colonial creation "an encapsulation of pre-colonial independent nations which comprises of kingdoms, known and relatively unknown city-states, people with centralised and decentralised political systems and pastoral and agrarian social formation. To corroborate this, it is realized that 'Nigeria is a country with appropriate credentials for dysfunctional conflicts". Situating these conflicts, histories, geography and mentality, these anomalies serve as the basis of ethno religious conflicts in Nigeria. This paper concludes that the herdsmen's activity is a terrorist action that constitutes a major threat to the security of the nation. Consequently, the paper recommends that any act of terrorism that is a threat to the security of Nigeria should be nipped at the bud by meting out stringent sanctions on perpetrators.
