Abstract: It must be an interesting study to embark on review of some sociopolitical aspects of Islamic Theocracy in a multireligious state such as Nigeria.
This paper is determined to focus on those areas impinging on our experience in Sharia Application efforts from the beginning of the Nigeria State till the present time.
Such effort then necessitated the search for a world widely accepted study with which to juxtapose our experience in Nigeria. A survey which serves this purpose is being copiously consulted.
The three main political regions of the Nigeria State at the Independence (North, West and East) are my nidus of the Socio political discuss from where all other created states emanated.
The challenges posed by the heterogeneity of the socio-political arrangements starting from the pre-Independence, Independence and post-independence periods, are discussed. The small socioeconomic gains achieved at our Independence has been virtually dissipated due to the sociopolitical conflicts poorly managed by our leaders accentuating the negativity of multireligious coexistence.
Islamic Theocracy in its normative or modernized form is arguably a solution which should be considered for the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria, and then the solution which is necessary for the expected progress to be made.
