dc.description.abstractThis paper hinges on Equity and justice as panacea for Peace in Nigeria. The issue of peaceful co-existence in Nigeria is of paramount importance. The paper was premised on the fact that Nigeria is multi-ethnic with multifarious religious groups. The task of establishing a sustainable moral yardstick to advance peaceful co-existence in Nigeria requires thorough attention of Christian theologians in particular and all religious adherents in general. In Nigeria there are many differences that gear up or promote disunity unless equity and justice are applied. An overview of the Nigerian situation since 1960 when it got its independence is an essential ground that tells its history of ethnic-ethnic and religion-religion conflicts. Both intra- and inter- crises always blame inequity, injustice or both and the result of this development tribal, religious, or regional disunity. This in the past had led either to temporary or permanent damages in some cases. Everyone wants his/her face to be seen and his/her voice to be heard and this will instil in them the confidence to make progress in their daily living through sense of belonging. To foster peace in Nigeria, the study therefore recommended that all Nigerians, whether majority or minority; regardless of their locations and status should be given equal opportunities in all the geographical locations of Nigeria while, the three tiers of government in Nigeria use Nigeria's resources for the common good of all without any discrimination, partiality or stigmatization.
