The question of corruption and the problem of political and economic stability raise several discussions and arguments among Nigerian citizens. The popular opinion is that if the problem of corruption is addressed, it would spell an end to the Nigerian predicaments. Religions, particularly Islam and Christianity, have been known to play significant roles in the development of many nations of the world. For many centuries of their existence in Nigeria Islam and Christianity have not offered the same benefits to the country as those which they offer to the Middle East and Europe respectively. Nevertheless, these religions are spreading in Nigeria more than in many other parts of the world. The new awareness, however, is that Christianity and Islam have not optimally served the purpose of development in Nigeria. There is a legion of opposition to Christianity and Islam in Nigeria. Islam and Christianity are called Ẹ̀ sìn àjèjì (foreign religions). It is adduced that the foreignness of these faiths has made it impossible for them to adequately serve the purpose of development in Nigeria. There is, therefore, a frantic search for the alternative, which has been found in African Traditional Religion (ATR), otherwise called Ẹ̀sìn àbálaye in Yoruba parlance. So, there is a brewing revolution that is leading to the resurgence of ATR, which previous studies have not adequately articulated. The popular demand, which is brought to the fore in this paper, is the need to mainstream ATR into stemming the tide of corruption and Nigerian predicaments. The chapter is pitched on the theory of religious engineering as conceived by Spies and Schrode, which states that religion should be engineered for the transformation of the nation. Using the qualitative research method, the chapter raises the following research questions: What are the values and tenets of ATR for stemming the tide of corruption and the Nigerian predicaments? How can the power and prowess of the Òrìṣà (deities) be mainstreamed in the fight against corruption? Thus, this chapter provides a fresh prism through which certain qualities
and contents of ATR can be mainstreamed to help Nigerians out of their predicaments. It also recommends these qualities and contents in ATR as useful for stemming the tide of corruption and Nigerian predicaments
