Peace does not exist on its own in an environment of interactions between two or more people. It has to be created through strategy. As I have often said, peace is a product that must be created through innovation of leaders. Research by Institute for Economic Peace have established that the relative peace of a society is underpinned by the material and cultural circumstances of that society, whether it is the efficiency of the formal institutions of government, the strength of the economic conditions, or the strength of the cultural and informal norms that relate to corruption. To bring peace into existence in a society like ours that is not just with multi tribal and multi religious configuration, but also with pervasive corruption and mismanagement, there is need to set up a sustainable peace structure that will continuously provide the needed antidote against conflict. Experts are no longer in doubt that building structure for peace is the best way to address conflict. However,

STATEMENT BY CHIEF AWOLOWO WHILE BEFORE THE HIGH COURT BEFORE SENTENCING FOR TREASONABLE FELONY SEPTEMBER 11, 1963 I must say, and this may have to be taken up with a higher tribunal, that I do not agree with your Lordship's verdict, and the premises on which it is based. For upwards of 30 years, I have been in politics in Nigeria; during this period I have operated in various important theatres in the life of this great Federation. I have, with others, fought against British imperialism with all my might, and with all the talents that it pleased God to give me. Together with other nationalists, some of whom are with me and many of whom are not with me here, we have successfully thrown out British imperialism and enthroned Africans in positions which, 20 or more years ago, they never dreamt of occupying. I have been an unyielding advocate of a Federal Constitution for Nigeria. I have all along, with other leaders of this country, been a very active and constructive participan

PRESS RELEASE Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) has been informed of an unfortunate incident that happened today in Abuja at wuse market, in which a soldier who is part of security task force shot a taxi driver for no justifiable reason. The security task force reportedly dumped the victims body in his vehicle and ran away. We condemn the cruelty and inhumanity displayed against a fellow human by the security task force. Foundation for Peace Professionals also aware that the incident had led to massive protest which started in wuse market at the scene and quickly spread to other parts of the Federal capital. We appeal to the aggrieved protesters to remain calm and not take laws into their hands. Only in an atmosphere of peace can justice prevail.

Temmi Ovwasa, the one and only YBNL princess recently released a thought provoking culturally induced tract that is titled Bamidele. The latest single followed the pattern of her 2 previous tracks, Afefe and Jabole. Apart from Jabole, which was her debut single under YBNL and not so unique, Afefe and Bamidele are 2 great songs that were not promoted enough to catch the audience’s attention. If you ask me, YBNL should not allow Afefe go like that with such a little attention to a great song, Temmie should do a remix and promote that song seriously. When I first heard Afefe, I told myself that this would be a hit song if properly promoted. I was expecting to watch the song on all the music promoting TV channels, but it never made it. Everything mostly ended online. Even on her Youtube channel, Afefe had less than 30k views. I can’t understand why a song like Afefe was not given the required promotion. That song is magical and spiritual. There is nothing that would prevent a properly

The attention to Kwara Must Change has been drawn to a press statement credited to Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Media and Communications, Dr. Muyideen Akorede who claimed that the Kwara State Government is unaware of any worker’s alleged suicide in the state. Kwara Must Change is not surprised that the Kwara State government is denying knowledge of the man made tragedy created by it, in furtherance of its cruel, inhuman and bad governance. A state government that owes State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) workers over 6 months salaries, yet claiming to owe no worker is nothing but a lying government. So, how would people be surprised if the same government is denying knowledge of this tragic incident that has thrown the entire state into mourning. Rather than clear its debt, pay workers and apologize for causing so much hardship for the good people of Kwara, the government has resorted to cheap denial and propaganda, something we consider very unfo
