You don't have to keep fighting everyday all because of this particular misunderstanding, why not allow peace to take over this constant fight and lie on your sword just for a moment, he said.
It all started as a joke when they were arguing about the method used in sharing the money that was given to them by one of the high ranking political party officers with other government officials that came to their ward for a courtesy call visit and after their stay decided to give the youth leader and the entire member of the party some cash to share amongst them.
When the program ended, the youth leader decided to play trick and unfair game with the sharing of the money amongst his members, before you know what was happening, misunderstanding and argument started and within a short period it turned to a serious fight that led to a long lasting fight amongst the youth which caused destruction of properties and serious injuries to some members who were fighting.
When the news of the fight reached to the hearing of the community head, he quickly called in the police and other security agencies in the community to quickly move in and stop the ongoing fight at the community square where the incident was already going on. When the police and other security agencies approached the scene of the clash, they immediately started calming the situation down and making arrest of the people that were involved in the fight.
After the fight was calmed and arrest were made, the community head requested that they all be gathered at his place so they can resolve the fight amongst the youths, the police released the detained persons to the community so they can settle the issue at the community level, when the youth leader of the party was asked what transpired at the place of fight, he began to say that he was about sharing the money given to them by one of the top party members of their party who came with his friends to the occasion that was held at their party secretariat and the sharing method didn't go well with the other youths so misunderstanding erupted and before we know what was happening, it turned to a serious fight that led to destruction of properties and Infliction of injuries on some members.
When the youth leader finished narrating his ordeal, the community head immediately started admonishing them all and he apportioned blame on the youth leader for not being a sincere and upright leader, he continued to tell the youth leader that he supposed to share the money equally because the money given to them was for them all to share equally, so there should not be any reason for such move that could bring misunderstanding.
The community leader said a good leader should always have at the back of his mind that he is to sacrifice at all times.
You should not allow greed and position you are occupying to cover your sense of reasoning and your heart into forgetting to do the right thing.
You should learn to carry everyone along that is under your care and make sure you propagate peace and tolerance.
Also being a leader should not make you to see yourself as superior more than others, because it's these same people that putin the position you are occupying and they should be respected and catered for.
Finally he told the youth leader to always think about his members welfare and wellbeing first before his own and by so doing, he is projecting unity, peace and love amongst his members and the community at large.
After he finished talking to the youth leader, we turned to the youths of the community that were there and told them these;
Please everyone should learn to stay in peace and never allow the enemy to use them to cause problems and bring misfortunes to the community where he or she belonged to.
They should all learn to stay out of trouble and do not take laws in their hands, rather when such incident occur, they should try and go to the appropriate authority and make their complain and aggrevances known for a proper action and correction.
He thanked the police and other security agencies for their prompt action and calming of the situation that almost wanted to disrupt the peace and harmony of the community.
Finally both the party youth executives and the entire youth members of the party should shield their swords and lie on their swords for peace to reign in the community.
