 Medical student members of Society of Nigerian Doctors for the Welfare of Mankind (IPPNW /Nigeria), launched a radio series “Bringing Peace to the People” on Silverbird Rhythm FM 93.7 radio, Jos, Nigeria.  It was designed to educate about and inspire people to work for peace in Nigeria, and to support IPPNW’s global Aiming for Prevention campaign, a public health approach to violence prevention.

Why radio?

 Radio is the predominant source of news and information for the African public.  Studies have pointed to high rates of illiteracy, the importance of oral tradition, and the costs of other media (e.g., print, television, and internet) as contributing to a reliance on radio.  Nigeria radio is largely state-controlled, there is a need to develop community radio stations and worthwhile broadcast content.  Everyone has - or has access to - a radio receiver!!!!!!

 "Bringing Peace to the People" is one of the first attempts to use radio in Nigeria for these more beneficial ends:  Community development  Education  Violence prevention

 Jos is a city in Nigeria's middle belt and is the administrative capital of Plateau State.Nigeria'sPlateau State  In recent years (2001, 2004, 2008 and 2010) it has suffered violent ethno religious & political clashes where many Nigerians have been injured and killed

 The first spate of violence of 2010 started on 17 January. At least 200 people were killed.  Hundreds of people died in fresh clashes in March The state police command said that there were 326 deaths and 313 arrests. Guns were fired by the perpetrators.

 Youths  Religious leaders  Government officials  General public

 We drew on projects of IPPNW as well as other evidence-based research on the impact of armed violence. Program topics included: 1. One Bullet Stories 2. Small Arms Violence and Health 3. Youth, Violence and Health We invited health professional guests such as physicians to speak to the target youth listeners. Program Development

 Mainly divided into 2, aired alternatively 2 weekly.  A. a live phone in interactive session where we discussed topics mentioned above  B. an educative session where topics were also discussed & listeners asked to send comments & messages.

 We mixed peace music & popular music during sessions.  The standing policy of the radio station demands that all programs should have music interludes.  The popular music was aimed at drawing the attention of listeners, then the peace song to drive the message home immediately after sessions.

 We received comments and contributions from individuals and groups including: ◦ I love your program, a big well done, keep it up. ◦ The message was passed & good examples of peoples stories when discussing one bullet stories. From action group on adolescent health

We surveyed 40 randomly selected youths from 8 areas in Jos.  84% surveyed recommended the program.  75% believed that the radio is a means of reducing violent conflicts.  75% are frequent listeners of radio  18% believe in the possession of guns for self defense, 63% do not agree to possession of guns while 19% are not sure.Results

 Independent radio seems to be a useful tool in educating youths on the need for nonviolent forms of conflict resolution.  Civil society should encourage and support more independent radio programs such as “Bringing Peace to the People.”  We need more rigorous data on injuries and deaths from armed violence in Nigeria, and more data on factors that may prevent violence.
