(Anchor books Publisher, 2018) Ayantayo, J. K.; Ayantayo, G. N.
It is no longer news that there is conflict of different colours and shades across the globe vis-a-vis several approaches to resolving it. The reality is that global conflict remains unabated hence the need for a new approach to handling it. Extant scholarly works on global conflicts and procedures for resolving it has not factored into it the place of ethical education. This is the gap this paper intends to fill in the entire discourse as it argues for the essentiality of ethical education as needed toolkits and lubrication oil for engineering functional global conflict resolution. Leaning on consequential ethical theories, this paper brings to the fore the meaning of ethical education, in features, methods of application, challenges and the expected results while factoring it to global conflict resolution processes

Clothing rite, a major aspect of the culture that affects Nigerian in the new drive towards a better Nigeria via change mantra has not received much attention in the previous scholarly works on how to achieve the so much change in Nigeria. This is the gap this paper filled as it adopted interview, observation and focus grip discussion as research methods at tools to probe the ' wearing Cloth Religious Rites’ among the Igbo people of Nigeria. Consequently, it underscores the trust of the tradition which consists of some socio - religious activities such as dedication to duty, honesty in social relations, participation in community development and shunning all indecent behaviour often associated with youthful exuberance. Leaning on Durkheim theory of functionalism of religion, the paper proves that integration of the tradition as a home grown agent of change would help drive home the philosophy of Buhari’s change agenda. This is predicated on the fact that the youth are energetic, aware of the importance of socialization and building friendship using modern technologies and communication facilities to advance change and development
