Ideological differences are normal behavior for a nation that state authorities are rigidly or flexibly controlling. The lowest level of ethnic ties in a country is the society. The stronger the religious values of the people of that society, the stronger the bond between the people of a country and the patriotism between them can be more intense and patriotism is most important for the overall development of a country. Religious freedom of a country can create a peaceful environment among the people of that country which is essential for the economic progress of the country as a whole.
What is your opinion?
Sometimes religious values doesn't equate good economy and Nigeria is a typical example. Nigeria is one country with a high religious followership, there is literally no Nigerian that doesn't believe in one religion or the other, from the president, to the governor's and LGA chairmen all belongs to one religion or the other.
However this has not helped to build a sustainable economy for the country. in building a country, you need strong institutions and laws to guide the society of any country, if you check in the world, there is no country that is great economically based on religion values alone, what has made them to be strong economically has been policies of government that has been followed over time.
So if we want to improve our economy, we need to have instant laws and strong institutions like the judiciary, the police, civil service system that is not corrupt and the law enforcement agents in general to do their work diligently, that way we can build our economy.
