Shortly after the foiled ter­ror­ist plot to blow-up a Detroit-bound flight on Christ­mas Day, blog­ger and reg­u­lar Nige­ri­ansTalk Con­trib­u­tor, Seye Abim­bola, described sev­eral instances of reli­gious fun­da­men­tal­ism he wit­nessed while school­ing.  Emeka Okafor, in his blog, Africa Unchained, shares a series of links (here and here) on the increas­ing trend of “reli­gious zealotry” amongst Niger­ian uni­ver­sity students.
