Abstract:
Intercultural relation has been a very serious issue especially where nations would have had one
kind of issue or the other. This was a major issue in the Asian nations before and during the time
of Jesus. The subject matter of this project work was the discourse between Jesus of Nazareth and
the woman of Samaria recorded in the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John in relation to some
nagging socio/political cum religious issues in the Nigerian state. The conversation reflects the
dichotomy between the Jews and the Samaritans which the woman expresses in her wonders and
amazements as to why Jesus would demand something from her.
The analytical and liberational approaches were used in the course of the study. Analytically, the
author took time to appraise the selected text vis-à-vis the text and the Nigerian people especially
as it relates to the Fulani-non-Fulani issues in Nigeria in the recent times. Secondary and primary
methods were equally used in sourcing materials for the work and the data gathered were used for
elucidation of facts in the work.
The teachableness of the Samaritan as well as that of the teaming majority of Samaritans regarding
their responses to the message of Jesus is commended in the work. The work recommends same
to Nigerians especially our Fulani brothers or hardly will be peace in the nation.
