AN OVERVIEW OF GOD, ALLAH, AND CHINEKE IN CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM, AND ATR AND THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATIONAL DELIVERY

Résumé

There have been disputes, quarrels between the three major religions in Nigeria, namely Christianity, Islam, and African Traditional Religion. This quarrel has continued and has gone as far as claiming lives. These issues prompted the researcher to go into the area of God, Allah, and ATR., and the use of technology in Educational Delivery. ln trying to delve into the area, the researcher did a comparative study of the three major religions in Nigeria, and on what they believe in, it was discovered that all three major religions in Nigeria have what they believe in. For Christianity, it is God, for Islam, it is Allah, and for ATR, it is Chineke. The researcher went further to discover that these three names in the three major religions are functionally the same and regarded as the highest being. The researcher also proposed that the teaching and learning of these beings, be it God, Allah, or Chineke, could be studied using the internet, distance learning, and a digital library instead of mere guessing. This is as a result of the fact that preservation of the knowledge of God, Allah, or chineke in Christianity, Islam, and African Traditional Religion is now technologically driven. The researcher did this using a technological educational approach. It recommends that there is no need for the tension between the three major religions; there is no need for the understanding between God, Allah, and Chineke since functionally they are the same. It equally recommends that technology should be used in this study since the world is now digitally friendly.
