I am Mojima Etokudo from Akwa Ibom State in southern Nigeria, West Africa. I came in contact with May Peace Prevail on Earth International then World Peace Prayer Society in 1995 at the age of 19 during my short course on music at the National Theological Academy Ukanafun in Akwa Ibom State as a circular musician. I became Interested about the philosophy of the organization which centered on peaceful coexistence with all race and I applied for membership through regular mail.
In 1996, one of my musical album with the title “Give Them Right” was dedicated to the World Peace Prayer Society.
I was involved in various activities geared towards the promotion of the universal Prayer for world Peace “MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH” I also engaged students in our local schools and youths in our community on peace club, raising the consciousness of Peace on young people on the need for peace among their fellow human being and all life on Earth.
I 2001, I was recognized as the official Nigeria Peace Representative for the World Peace Prayer Society now May Peace Prevail on Earth International.
In 2002, I was privilege to participate at the All African Peace Representative Conference in Accra, Ghana, in this conference, the international president of May Peace Prevail on Earth International Mr Hiroo Saionji, the then Executive Director Rev Deborah Moldow, the Germany Representative Mr Patrick Petit, the Minister of Finance in Ghana and many others across the world.
It was a great privilege to meet other Peace Representative and Peace Enthusiasts at the conference.
In 2003, we organized our first United Nations International Day of Peace Celebration in Nigeria at Ukanafun Local Government Council Hall which has in attendance, Religious leaders, Legislators and other Political leaders, Traditional Rulers School Children and the media. Peace Pole was planted in front of the Ukanafun Local Government council Secretariat and other leaders in attendance receives it Desktop Peace Poles.
Since then, we have been celebrating yearly the UN International Day of Peace across Nigeria and many Peace Poles planted in schools, private homes, please of worship, Palaces of some Kings in the area and over 1000 Desktop Peace Pole to many in Nigeria and the Palestine during my trips to Israel and the Palestine.
When I recalled my pains as an orphan who lost both parents at the age of 8 and 14 years old without government scholarship to go to school and Family feeding support, I think of the downtrodden in the society and mostly the hinterland, we build in as part of our UN International Day of Peace activities to raised funds to trained the vunrable on Free Skill acquisition which we have successfully trained 50 young people on various trades and equipped some based on our available resources.
More would have been done but no sponsorship from the government of Nigeria and I hope we will have their support in the future so we can do more for humanity.
I pray for international support and locally to do more for humanity.
