Conflict
is an intriguing part of human beings that can never be done away with, but
which can only be managed.
For
the sort of the social status, Miss Nigeria, that Miss Lessi Peter
-Vigboro now occupies – she will need to have the skills of dealing with people
of different characters: there are some that will want to rubbish her status
and there are others who will try to help build her image.
The Bible is superb in this regard:
hear what it says
“Where no wise
guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is
safety.” Prov 11:14, AMP.
Everybody
should borrow a leaf from here: you must learn to be opened to corrections and
instructions in whatever you do. You cannot be all-knowing, because you do not
have experiences of all occurrences in the world.
The
Nation Newspaper reported that the
training in conflict management and non – violence, according to the chairman
of Air Peace and FEHN, Mr. Allen Onyema, would equip the pageant and others to
benefit from the three-tier training skills in resolving conflict related
issues including insurgency and ethnic agitation in the northern part of the
country.
This,
we can say, is unarguably needful at this hour (in Nigeria) when there is tension among the various tribes. Some Igbo People are clamouring for the State of Biafra and boko haram sects
are doing their own atrocities on a side: people are on edge to spark crisis at
any provocation, hence, we appreciate the decision to train these people in
conflict management.

Government
should also sensitise the public on how to resolve conflicts, while
organisations and well-meaning citizens should also endeavour to support
programmes – aimed at sensitizing people on social
responsibility, like our Leadership
Ethics Conference, LEC.
