KAIROS PEACE CLUBS
APPLI is happy to introduce KAIROS Peace Club to students
unions, academic and administrative communities of high
schools, colleges and universities. KAIROS means the in-
breaking or appointed time of God. It is time for peace to reign
on our campuses.
It needs to be emphasized that schools are models for society
in its entire ramification. Ranking next to Ethnoreligious
conflicts in Africa is student riots and student violence. The
situation at our learning institutions is worse because many
factors (ethnic identity conflicts, tribal hatred, religious
differences, socio-cultural diversities, economic hardship,
political and ideological differences and campus cult practices)
combine to create student violence on campuses. The spare
of religious riots and cult killings in African campuses is
alarming. The cults have turned the citadels of learning in
African higher institutions to battlefield of undeclared wars.
Many promising lives had been cut short in their prime ages by
campus violence. The dreams of many families had been
dashed through the wicked killings of their children and many
parents have been thrown into perpetual sorrows. Incessant
news reports on campus killings are indeed ear-tingling and
mind-boggling.
