What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

I witnessed for the first Time in my life, the devastation of Lives and Property from Ethnic Conflicts in Takum, Taraba State of Northeastern Nigeria in 1994. I was shocked at the amount of wanton destruction of Lives and property. I also watched a documentary once on the Ruwandan Genocide, and i wonder when has Man become so savage that we can hardly distinguish him from his Domestic Animals?
