Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

KNOWLEDGE & SKILL OF NONVIOLENCE ACTION & STRUGGLE IN NIGERIA



Knowledge, mean information and understanding about a subject, which someone has in his mind. Skill on its own is the knowledge and ability to do something well.



Violence is a behavior which intends to hunt, or injure or kill people, while struggle means applying all seriousness and achieving something regardless of difficulties.



In Nigeria today, violence have caused us a lost of harm, it is affected us in so many ways, violence has diverted the interest of foreign investor, caused so much death, left may people injured and some physically challenged. Our economy would have been far better than what it is today if we had a good knowledge and skill of non violence action and struggle and also practice it.



The bible says that “the devil cometh not but to still kill and destroy” Youths are the devil’s target for the instrument of violence, and most of them lose their lives in the struggle, and their ends their bright future and good contributions they would have made to their generation.



The knowledge and skill of non violence and struggle is the key to conflict way resolution in Nigeria because by its nature, it contains no intention of hurting, injure and killing. With the knowledge and skill of nonviolence actions, the aim of a struggle can be achieved not with violence.



Violence have not done us any good and will not until we take it up as our point of duty to put a stop to it, by applying the knowledge and skill of nonviolence action and struggle. If Nigerian youths will stand up and say no to violence, we will have better Nigerians, better economy, better government and a better country.



If these youth who are engaged in violent action will be thought a better way to struggle for their right or whatever they want, and get convinced that with nonviolence action they can achieve at lest 75%-80% of what they want, they will have no option than to change their pattern of struggle from violence to nonviolence.



Youths from the 36 states of Nigeria can organize a reconciliation programe, in all the states to empower fellow youths with the knowledge and skills of nonviolence actions and struggle. These will help to achieve the spread of the knowledge and skill of nonviolence and struggle in Nigeria.



Having the knowledge & skill of violence & struggle is not all it takes, it takes move than that because knowledge and skills without work is equal to zero result. The Youths who acquired this knowledge and skills should be engaged in practice of nonviolence action and struggle and report to a superior person, so that success can be calculated.



Finally, time has come when we should know the kind of country we want and work tirelessly to achieve it. The government may not give us all we want, to achieve this goal, they may delay to give the little they can but we don’t have to wait.



Dialogue and reaching a compromise can also help as factors of nonviolence action and struggle, with the above few words of mine, the knowledge and skills of nonviolence action and struggle will be achieve, and its practice will give us a better Nigeria.
