As an avowed pacifist I am deeply troubled by the incessant recurrence of religious violence in Nigeria. Houses of worship are targetted for destruction. There is killing and arson on a large scale. This is sacriledge. I am keen on finding lasting solution to this quagmire. I wish to focus my attention on Northern Nigeria where this scenario is most common. I will like to link up with both Christian and Muslim leaders up there to facilitate a dialogue session.
Can anyone offer names, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of stakeholders in the region? I am also requesting likeminds within and outside Nigeria who can be of help in any way to please link up with me as quickly as possible. This bloodshed must stop. I believe that peace is possible in my beloved country, Nigeria.
My e-mail addresses are is: drishaqakintola@gmail.com

My telephone number is: 234-803-346-4974
