Silence the Violence
Breaking the Cycle of Violence
Affiliate:West Africa
Club:Jamz Base 1
Location:Lagos, Nigeria
Created:5/24/2009

Project Goal: To lower the rate of gang system and create understanding between brothers through motivational talks and other approaches!

Root Cause: The rate of Violence and gangsterism in the Nigerian Campuses due to youth Cult activities can be traced to the neglect of the Nigerian government of the falling educational system. their has been a huge communication gap between the youths and the leadership of the country. The youth don't have a role model and somewhat express their anger through violence and gangsterism in the University campuses. There needs to be a stop to this evolving state of the Nigerian Youths.

Project Plan: I intend to approach the violence with a somewhat peace approach. There is going to be a massive empowerment concert called "Silence the Violence". There is going to be music and motivational talks and a dynamic approach to educating the youths that the way forward is not violence but PEACE. We need to Silence the Violence with PEACE.
