Abstract

This impression focused on the concept of politics and the erroneous views of many practitioners of Christianity who believe that politics in the Nigerian and African perspective is a dirty practice o r concept, meant for dirty people. According to this school of thought, politicians engage in obnoxious practices in efforts to succeed. In this regard, the concept of politics, meaning, characteristics, the Nigerian political experience, a determination o f who a Christian is, the concept of participation and a justification for Christian participation in politics are considered to re-indoctrinate the erroneous view.
