Abstract

The place of peace in every society cannot be neglected. Peace is the condition on which every other human effort at nation building and national development are built. Any society that undermines the conditions for sustainable peace and security naturally creates fertile grounds for the rise of conflict, violence, insecurity and war. Unfortunately, when the flame of violence or conflict is ignited, the impact on the society is generally multi-dimensional and very problematic to manage. Both gender suffers from the heavy negative effect but it tends to weigh more on the female gender. Consequently, scholars of repute from different parts of the Nigerian state have outlined a number of studies that discusses the changing dynamics of these problem.
