目前尼日利亚人流离失所的情况可归因于宗教政治，尽管人们不愿承认这是尼日利亚政治体的一个问题。自1980年代以来，穆斯林官员允许他们的宗教倾向支配他们的公共行动，从而使人担心尼日利亚的进一步发展将采取伊斯兰立场。因此，不受政府青睐的基督教团体采取了措施来维护他们的利益。教派集团的这种演变对尼日利亚的总体安全产生了不利影响。其多样化的社会现在包括国内的流离失所者和国外日益增长和广泛分散的人口。除非在一个世俗国家的范围内确保埃塞俄比亚人的安全，否则这种外流是无法阻止的。
The present displacement of Nigerians is attributable to religious politics even though there is a reluctance on the part of people to acknowledge this as a problem in the Nigerian body politic. Since the 1980s, Muslim functionaries have allowed their religious inclinations to dictate their public actions, thereby creating the fear that further developments in Nigeria would assume an Islamic stance. Consequently, Christian groups which have been out of favour with the government adopted steps to safe-guard their interests. This evolution of sectarian groupings has adversely affected overall security in Nigeria. Its diverse society now includes pockets of displaced people within the country and a growing and widely dispersed population outside the country. This exodus cannot be stopped unless the security of Nigerians is assured within the confines of a secular state.
