The Effects of Islamic Movement in Nigeria’s Protest on Peace in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria.
Abstract
Peace is an essential instrument of development and sustainable well-being in society. However, the increasing protests by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria in the Federal Capital Territory have the tendency to undermine peace and economic activities in the Federal Capital Territory. However, existing inquiries on the nexus of the protests by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and peace in the Federal Capital Territory are limited. As such, this study relied on field responses elicited through interviews and questionnaires administered to 400 respondents determined through the Taro Yamane (1967) sampling formula as data source. It relied on the conflict management model advanced by Thomas-Kilman (1976), inferential statistics, and content analysis to show a significant negative effect of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria’s protest on peace in the Federal Capital territory. Specifically, the regression result showed that a percentage increase in protest by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria will lead to a significant 68.7 per cent decline in peace in the Federal Capital territory. The result from regression analysis is validated by the content analysis, which showed that the poor management of the conflict by the government affects socioeconomic activities and peace in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. In view of the findings, the study concluded that the Islamic Movement in Nigeria’s protest, characterized by violence, undermines peace and economic activities in the Federal Capital territory. This calls for a non-violent approach of collaborating advocated by Thomas-Kilman (1976) that incorporates the concerns of conflicting parties in the peace building process. By addressing the concerns of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria through diplomacy and negotiation, there will be an increasing likelihood of peace and sustainable well-being in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria.
