Abstract

Various religions teach their adherents to imbibe and live out sound, moral, and ethical values that go a long way to create harmony in the human society, which is necessary for societal development. Religion cannot be practiced successfully without the teachings of its core ideas, principles, scriptural truths, etc. to its adherents. This study is hinged on the fact that the three religious traditions as practice in Nigeria have affected the way of lives of the people, thus giving Nigeria a unique religious identity. Religion, therefore, cannot thrive in any society without the culture of the people and that of the religion mixing. Every religion is borne out of a culture of the people. The study is an attempt to reveal that religious culture and tradition laid the foundation of educational development in Nigeria, for example, the establishment of mission schools and the development of Nigerian indigenous language.
