Nigeria is a country where religion thrives in the form of Christianity, Islam and African indigenous
religion. Paradoxically, Nigeria is also a country where amorality thrives. A t all levels of governance, amorality
has been a prom inent feature of Nigerian politics. This study discusses religion, morality and politics nexus in
Nigeria. It argues that though religion has played indispensable roles in the authoritative allocation of values
and distribution of political offices in Nigeria, it has failed to make positive impacts on political life and
governance in the country. The study also demonstrates that the “shepherd model”, an ideal biblical form of
leadership, is the right solution to Nigeria’s governance and perennial leadership crisis.
Key words: Religion, leadership, governance, corruption, shepherd, ,
