The Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND) has invited nomination of exemplars of love and forgiveness -from conflict actors to peace builders- from the six geopolitical zones of the country.<\/p>\n

The project in collaboration with Festzer Institute according to Project Administrator of KIND, Steve Aborishade is designed to identify and highlight the works of unspoken heroes of peace who have relied on the transformative power of love and forgiveness from different communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hoped that their examples will serve as an inspiration to other communities in ways that will transcend primordial sentiments of ethnicity and religious leanings and further promote and advance the capacity of our people to love and forgive,\u201d Aborishade stated.<\/p>\n

Individuals and groups are to nominate worthy individual(s) on this website http:\/\/www.nijaexemplarsoflove-forgiveness.org\/?page=welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is meant to replicate and localize the ever increasing transformative impact that love and forgiveness can have on conflict situations ranging between individuals, communities, and the society as a whole, in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask, beyond amnesty, can love and forgiveness heal our wounds? Can it place us on a new landscape of mutual coexistence based on respect and sensitivity to each other\u2019s diversity?<\/p>\n

\u201c KIND sees this project as a chance and platform for exchange of ideas and opportunities, and, an avenue for broader practical application of the lessons that can be gleaned from the works of identified exemplars, which can be replicated and built upon while growing an enduring awareness around the concept of love and forgiving as a transformative energy among individuals, communities and the larger society,\u201d Aborishade explained.<\/p>\n
