Nigeria and the Problems of Conflict Resolution in Africa

With a population of over 150 million people and a tag of the most populous black nation in the world, Nigeria has always seen itself as the big brother of Africa; the key principles guiding the conduct of its foreign policy equally reflect this stand. Nigeria strongly believes in the indivisibility of peace, that a threat to peace anywhere in Africa is a threat to peace everywhere on the continent. By extension, Africa at war and in distress is also a threat to world peace and security.
