This is in addition to the spiritual assistance and healthcare services provided by religious leaders and institutions in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our previous book - \u003cem\u003eReligion in Contemporary Nigeria\u003c\/em\u003e- we addressed issues in the use and misuse of religion in Nigeria.
