Building Christlike Peace in Nigeria's Extremist Communities - Ameh Kenneth Seidu | 01
**SUBSCRIBE & COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW**
----
Ameh Kenneth Seidu is a peace-builder in Nigeria. The director of Peace Cord Nigeria, Kenneth specialises in deradicalisation, freedom of religion or belief, and empowering women and youth.
Kenneth is a ray of light and so talented at what he does, it was important to me to have this conversation as one of my first on the podcast to highlight his incredible insights and experiences. There is much we can learn from Kenneth on striving for peace.
Some highlights from this episode are Kenneth's own faith journey, his process for deradicalising, his thoughts on what righteous masculinity is, why there are communities where opening his scriptures is dangerous, and much more.
