This study by Human Rights Monitor focuses on ethnic and religious differences in Nigeria. such differences have led to serious divisions and sometimes violent conflicts among various groups. These divisions have been exacerbated by the "divide and rule" legacy of colonialism, structural problems in Nigerian federalism, iniquities in the distribution of wealth, and a double standard in the society's approach to secularism.
