*PeacePro urges Nigeria, AU to mediate in Russia-Ukraine crisis*

_Urges UN to discourage unilateral action against Russia_

A peacebuilding organization, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has called on the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and indeed the African Union (AU) to initiate move to mediate in the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, instead of taking sides in a crisis they don't have full understanding.

PeacePro also said that, taking sides in the conflict will be premature and counter productive, especially since most countries are yet to fully understand the circumstances that led to the conflict, neither has United Nations, saddled with responsibility to maintain global Peace made any resolution.

Executive Director of PeacePro, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat made this position while speaking with the press in ilorin, the Kwara State Capital during the week, explaining that the spirit of international law and order is to address issues of global peace and security in a collaborative manner, not take side in a conflict situation in a manner that makes every member of the global community a party to the conflict, leaving no room for mediators to address the situation in an apolitical manner.

"While it maybe tempting to want to take side as a result of political pressure and media propaganda, it is more profitable to engage both sides of the conflict at the highest level and continue to prevail on them both to tow the path of reason" Hamzat said.

According to him, unilateral action by individual nations, in terms of sanctions against one party over the other amounts to undermining the United Nations capability to respond appropriately and that will escalate, not de-escalate the situation.

"United Nations must be allowed to lead de-escalation process and coordinate an appropriate response, adding that "History had shown that, sanctions has never been an effective tool for resolving any conflict, neither has it worked in softening any nation from pursuing what it deemed necessary during conflict, instead it hardened them and led to further escalation"

PeacePro therefore called on the United Nations to lead the process of joint problem solving and prevail on individual nations taking unilateral action to key into the UN led process.

Global response should seek to resolve, not escalate the already bad development, Hamzat said.

Your house is on fire and you're going to make peace for matter wey no concern you. Werey!

What is interesting is that when Isreal was bombing Palestine everyone forgot that the victims were human. We forgot about innocent women and children who were killed. No one talked about mediating. Please let African concentrate on the war in Ethiopia and leave Ukraine and Russia alone. Both of them are racist countries to blacks and we stand to gain nothing from them being at peace or war.

When the AU has it's own sea of problems to solve?

Nigeria should have collected loans from Russia as Pakistan did for that to be easy

But Africa shouldn't involve itself in European diplomatic issues

We never evacuate our students that are stranded their finish, we wan come mediate

They won't even listen to Africa or Nigeria

Chukwu Obinigwe should bless Putin


and before you castigate me I am an Igbo man that's a Christian, born and brought up in RCCG home

Something that NLders has already taken sides

See set up oh...
Did they seek us when times were good? Why now?

They should leave Africa out of their madness o.

We never finish to deal with our own war (corruption and bad leaders) na to dey carry bigger countries matter for head like gala seller.

Ok

They say charity begins at home

They should leave them since they say Ukraine is winning the war

Who is mentioning nigeria in this Ukraine-russia matter self...putin know buhari ni?

This one make me laugh kikikiki

Heavy weight and middleweight Dey fight, dem say make nylonweight come separate fight.

African race like Nigeria has been used to the points of dilapidation by the so called white men. No wonder it has no reasoning when it comes to playing sensible political part of world politics at large, and as such tends to be a senseless race by the so called white they regards as their saviour. imagine Nigeria involving in Russia Ukraine war, how will it be when the two parties involved doesn't even identify or count anything called African race? if it's either be a win-win for Russia or a lose-lose, why are we so bothered ?



The pathetic part of this is that Ukraine lift their ban and said any willing African countries can come and defend her integrity.

So.....so...... Foolish being a Sacrificial lamb at end

Good

Everyone is interested in Russia-Ukraine, but Palestine,Yemen and others are left alone

who started the bombing in isreal....

really

All this over sabi. Abeg face front.

I was even pissed that Nigeria joined in voting against Russia in the unga.

We seem to not realise this is NOT OUR WAR!
this is not our business.

As a matter of fact, Africa should even be the one anticipating it, if only we have smart leaders.
With a war to handle in Eurasia, these imperialist will have less resources and time to focus and meddle in Africa, we can steal that moment to reboot and rejig our system.

Also trade wise, one of the fallout of wars is the strain it puts on the economy of the actors as it affects production, we can seize that to turn the balance of trade in our favour.

More over, these pale skins don't give two flying fish bleeps about us.

If Nigeria was up and doing, with our crucial position as the most populous black nation, with our resources, we should be a world power or something close to it, at least a shot caller.

Foolishness
