 A group known as The Search for Common Ground is calling for religious harmony amongst Nigerians irrespective of differences in mode of worship and callings. This call was made in Abuja at induction of the national inter-religious early warning and response platform for freedom of religion and belief in the country. Organizes of the event to participants through the true essence of the gathering and what it intends to achieve which is religious harmony amongst the different religions in the country. A lot of the conflicts in Nigeria have a bit of religious coloration. There's a Pew study that was done that says that 87% of Nigerians identify as people of faith. It shows that religion or belief is a huge identifier for people in Nigeria and this can go both ways. It can go either positively or negatively. What we're hoping to do as search for common ground is to harness the positivity around religion. We are not a faith-based organization but we realize the role, the dual role actually that religious leaders can play in either exacerbating the conflict or ensuring peace and tolerance. So we want to steer the direction towards positivity towards peace and tolerance. We have different stakeholders that can respond before any situation escalates to the point of death. That person will be saved with our early warning system. That is what we're looking at. That as it is happening somebody is responding at the community level before it gets to the point where the person is not mocked or get killed. Participants also express optimism that programs like these will help heal the country from religious bigotry and set it in the path of peace and unity. This early warning you discover that you know the reason why a conflict is coming up and by the time you able to sort things out things will work. So with this early warning and response it's a very important issue something that must be hold on to and not just thrown into dustbin anyhow. It is a fact things that we must embrace. When you understand how human beings are supposed to live you will try to promote peace and resolve conflicts and that is that that will be easy if there is if you are conscious about early warning when there is warning there must be response and that is where early warning early response is very important. We have to make sure that we remember that we are people and we have to live as people and we have to do the way that human beings will live together as social animals.
