WE ARE NOT TERRORIST, WE ARE PEACEFUL PEOPLE.

-

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.

The United Nations Member States adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 because they understood that it would not be possible to build a peaceful world if steps were not taken to achieve economic and social development for all people everywhere, and ensure that their rights were protected.  The Sustainable Goals cover a broad range of issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, climate change, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, environment and social justice.




   Sustainable Development Goal 16 “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions” calls for promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
A peaceful society is one where there is justice and equality for everyone. Peace will enable a sustainable environment to take shape and a sustainable environment will help promote peace.


2018 Theme: “The Right to Peace - The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70



The celebration wasn't left out by youth in Lagos, Nigeria. As many youth came out to make the positive awareness in the environment. Also to encourage Nigerian to embrace each other and work together in peace and harmony. 



The youth that came out engaged them self in some exercise activities and also walked round their environment to make the positive awareness known. "Nigeria is known to be a non-peaceful country across the world but the most unfortunate thing is that, this is not true. we are one of the best set of people to be with, despite our difference we always find a way to see something good in our fellow human being. Let stop painting our country black and let do all we can to let them know we are not terrorist." This was said by the CEO of Global Initiative Miss Kareem Adenike.





The day activity ended with a lovely party as different youth across Lagos came together and had lots and lots of fun.

Examples of components that make up a good drainage system includes; closed ditches having pipe drains, drainage pipes, channels and conduits. Sustainable Drainage Systems are approaches put in place to manage the water quantity (flooding), water quality (pollution) and amenity issues in the environment.
