 The National Association of Gas Youth Movement, NYM, in Kaduna, has called on Nigerians to respect the diverse ethnic groups in the country in order to foster peace. The Engas people, also known as the Agas, are from Platte State, northern Nigeria. The chairman of the indigenous ethnic youth leaders of Nigeria, Comrade Nensok Gonette, said one of the major cause of conflicts in Nigeria is the misuse of ethnicity and religion in political discourse. As Nigerians, ethnicity should be seconded in whatever we do. We keep the ethnicity so our identity doesn't get missed, but for unity we use our ethnicity to unite our country. It is something that we will always advocate. And indigenous ethnic youth leaders of Nigeria, the purpose of our own coming together is to advocate for unity, peace among ethnic nationalities. And in that it will translate to national unity. And that is what we are collaborating on doing all the time. Then gas people are here with their rich cultural tradition in display. So basically it's about transferring traditions from one generation to another. So this is basically to transfer our tradition to the younger generation. Culture is one of the things that most countries survive by itself. So I will appeal to Nigeria, the good leaders of Nigeria, to utilize this culture as a tool to unite us and we will be one as a Nigerian. Only the gas people have a historical background in terms of their cultural tradition. We've come all over to South America, they've done on the yearly basis in Kaduna, Abuja, Jass, Lao Chi, Watercourt, Benin and other states across Nigeria.
