As part of activities to mark the World International Interfaith-week and Harmony in Kaduna, a group of clerics of both muslims and christians has taken campaigns to a rehabilitation and skilled acquisition centre to sensitize inmates on the dangers of drugs abuse and other vices.
The rehabilitation centre. Nigger, situates at Rigasa in Kaduna Metropolis, Northwest of Nigeria.
Led by Pastor Yohana Buru, the clerics stressed the importance of religious tolerance, peace and harmony among the people.
Buru said, last year they organized reading and written competition for the inmates to mark international interfaith week and harmony, so as to encourage them to be fully committed to studying religious books, as a way of promoting better understanding and religious tolerance among them.
“This year, we are focusing on teaching them ways to shun drug abuse and religious extremism, and better ways to live in peace and harmony, and also to educate them on the real teachings of the holy books, in order to enable them have the fear of God; as well as sensitizing them on the need for peaceful co-existence, tolerance and harmony amongst people, regardless of their religious inclinations, culture and tradition.
“This is the 6th time we are organizing conference and event at the centre with inmates from the 36 states of Nigeria, they are mostly drug addicts and mentally challenged persons, and people with other forms of deformities, which we believe will help them in living in peace and harmony with every inmate that is in the house”
Buru said religious leaders could play a major role in educating youths on various ways to counter violent extremism by promoting peace and tolerance through corrective interpretations of the teachings of the holy books.
“We must teach our youths what the Bible and Qur’an say so as to promote peace and harmony, as well as to educate them on the dangers of religious extremism”
Religious preachers, he said, could provide psycho-social support, and enjoined them to preach genuine teachings of their respective religions to their followers.
He was also of the opinion that the Press could play a major role towards averting religious violence and promote peace and stability in the country.
He stressed the need for the promotion of inter-religious dialogue in Nigeria, which according to him will contribute a great deal in averting religious violence.
Buru observed that the problem of religious violence could be tackled through poverty alleviation programmes and the involvement of religious clerics in educating youths on the teachings of the two religions.
The leader of the Centre, Mallam Lawal Naduru expressed appreciation with the kind gestures, adding that it was indeed the 6th time they are organizing this type of meeting aimed at raising awareness on the importance of tolerance among different faith based organizations that are residing in the centre.
“This centre has been here for over 14 years, and has been helping transforming mentally challenged and drugs addicts youth to normal, only that it lacks financial support to carry out more awareness” he said.
He disclosed that the centre has over 20 Christians who performed their religious rites without any form of hindrance considering the perception of people within the state; adding that, the centre has graduated over 1700 youths that came to the centre for rehabilitation and counselling.
“Majority of the inmates are young people including women who are affected mentally, drug addicts as well as some faced with spiritual challenges that need assistance. We give everyone here equal right and permit them to practice his/her religious without discrimination,” he said.
International Inter-faith week and Harmony is usually celebrated on every first week of February.
This year, we are focusing on teaching them ways to shun drug abuse and religious extremism, and better ways to live in peace and harmony, and also to educate them on the real teachings of the holy books, in order to enable them have the fear of God; as well as sensitizing them on the need for peaceful co-existence, tolerance and harmony amongst people, regardless of their religious inclinations, culture and tradition.

we reported on the dividend declarations from two of the gold standard mutual insurance companies – Northwestern Mutual and Massachusetts Mutual. Both are very highly rated carriers, and have paid dividends each year for well over 100 years. However, like most insurance companies these days, both are feeling the effects of the historic low interest rate environment, and as a result, have reported lower dividend interest rates (DIR).
Buru said, last year they organized reading and written competition for the inmates to mark international interfaith week and harmony, so as to encourage them to be fully committed to studying religious books, as a way of promoting better understanding and religious tolerance among them.

This was a excellent informative post you have shared on this page about the health insurance requirements for the save of your life but You should ask them about all the details about the medical insurance plan, including cost and detailed information about what will be covered and if dependents can be added (if that is relevant to you). You often have the option to waive the school-sponsored plan and purchase another insurance plan that you prefer which is more often a better value while still matching the requirements.
Thanks.
My son, aged 25, is just starting his fourth year of alcoholism. After two years of terrible binges when he would be absent for two or three days at a time on a fairly regular basis, at the beginning of this year he saw the light and just stopped and was completely sober for eight and a half months and even had a job to pay off the debts incurred while he was drunk. For three months now he has been back on the bottle although, so far, he has not gone on any binges outside the home, preferring to drink in his room. I know his drinking his linked with anxiety and depression and at least he voluntarily goes to see an addict specialist and a psychologist. I feel so sad for his wasted life, it is heartbreaking. I have come to the point where I must protect myself and will go to an Al Anon meeting as soon as I can
