THE MELODY OF PEACE

It is better to strum the string of a guitar, to produce sweet melody, good harmony and beautiful memories; than to pull the trigger of a gun that brings fear, tears and unrest.

It is true that no meaningful development can be attained in an atmosphere of rancour, where vicious cycles of violence oscillate. A society ridden by war, turmoil and conflict is likely to experience retardation and stagnation, rather than progress and development.

Unity Life Magazine is geared towards promoting peace. It is designed to provide a framework for redefining and subsuming all Nigeria’s domestic and international efforts in the peace operation. This edition takes a look at the various   issues assaulting the peace operation in Nigeria plus other articles to thrill, educate and inspire you.

Nigeria is multi-ethnicity, multi cultural and a state of various religion, having about 395 ethnic groups with religion having unparallel diversity in social organisation. Rather than nurture harmony and unity, this diversity tends to birth crisis.

Such crisis has resulted not only in an increase in death toll, but also loss of valuable infrastructure, personal properties and a decline in national development. Therefore, it becomes germane, for each of us to engage in activities that anchor on reconciliation, reconstruction and rehabilitation.

Join us, as we reposition our energies towards upholding our social and cultural differences, in building a united nation.
