Nonviolence approach in conflicts resolution is a legal means of fighting the higher authorities within the premises of the laws, whenever the masses feel oppressed. The likes of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela are good examples of people who used these philosophies in their times.

In the year 2009, the Niger Delta people were given the legal permission to carry out nonviolence actions in Nigeria by the presidential amnesty deal. The introduction of the two weeks nonviolence transformation training was for the people of Niger Delta to further their struggle through nonviolence approach because the amnesty deal was not the final solution to the Niger Delta struggle, in that it has been used by the federal government to condemn the armed struggle in the region in order to enable the government to drill her crude oil successfully without disturbance from the youths.

It's a fact, that Niger Delta struggle was born out of oppression and political marginalization by the Nigerian states, which means the Niger Delta struggle is a legal one but the legal laws has condemn the violence means by which people go about it.

Research has revealed that the same presidential amnesty offer (the federal government pardon) that has condemned the armed struggle in the region has already given the legal permission to the people of Niger Delta to carry out nonviolence actions in Nigeria.

There's a need to carry out nonviolence actions because after the acceptance of the presidential amnesty offer by MEND, the Nigeria government was supposed to implement frue federalism/resource control as democracy demanded in federalism which is the root cause of the Niger Delta agitation.

Knowing very well that without true federalism/resource control, the youths of the Niger Delta would likely to go back to armed struggle on the long run because the situation will only get worse due to the total absence of the principles of democracy in the Nigeria government system that makes it normal for leaders to be swimming and dining in corruption.

Now it's obvious that the problem of the Niger Delta has become the problem of Nigeria. The recent End SARS protest that took away the lives of numerous Nigeria youths is just a signal to the Nigerian leaders that, if this unitary system of government which is being dressed in pretense of democracy is still continued, then another civil war might break out in Nigeria in the future, and if that happens then Nigeria is going to break the world history of genocide.

What we are calling peace in the Niger Delta today is not peace but just a break of violence which might result to a greater violence in the future, due to the non attendance of the root cause of the problem by the Nigerian government.

Rev Martin Luther King Jr describes this situation as peace or peacefulness without justice and he goes further to say that nonviolence approach in conflicts resolution is not the opposite of violence; that peace or peacefulness without justice are the main opposites of violence. But nonviolence approach in conflicts resolution is the antidote to violence and peace or peacefulness without justice.

He also said that nonviolence approach in conflicts resolution is not a means of protest against an oppressor, but a method by which the mindset of the oppressor is brought to the understanding of the negative effects of his actions in the society, and the future dangers of his actions which might be capable of destroying him also. That it is this simple understanding by the oppressor that makes him to submit to the ideologies of reconciliation with the nonviolence practitioner in order to create a permanent solution to the problems of the society.

So, our aims and objective is to expose  the true manifesto of democracy to Nigerians and sensitize the larger public on how to agitate for the correction of this political error that is already threatening the peaceful coexistence of our country Nigeria within the premises of the legal laws inorder to prevent further destruction of lives and properties in our society.

Nigeria is not operating on the principles of democracy! Join hands with Nonviolence Campaign in Nigeria let's make Nigeria a home. Home is not a place where we live but a place were we find comfort. Nonviolence Campaign in Nigeria is creating a peaceful and prosperous society for a better Nigeria.
