In actual fact, today, Nigerians real capital comprises the peasant masses, thousands of jobless youths and graduates, the homeless, the armed robbers, the sick and the destitute who struggle daily for survival. Thus, the majority of the people have remained permanently marginalized by the current vicious cycle of poverty and dependence. Unfortunately however, successive Nigerian leaders have been using religion, culture and ethnicity as an instrument of playing divide-and rule game, rather than as a springboard for the inculcation and improvement of social ethical values which are fundamental to achieving correct human behavior as it relates to productivity and nation-building. This paper, therefore, examines the place of Christian religion in the development of Nigeria with a view to generating new ideas that will contribute meaningfully to the search for democratic principles and ideals that would usher in a well-ordered society, not only in Nigeria, but in Africa as a whole.

This paper is advocating the injection of Christian ethical values into the Nigerian political system for a better sustainable development in Nigeria and can also be advancement for African continent. The paper suggests a wayforward by means of recommendation and conclusion. The paper applied analytical method for its finding.en_US
