“…Boko Haram is able to recruit more people because Borno State, where the organization was founded, has one of the lowest literacy rates among all of Nigeria's Northeastern States and about 72% of children between the ages of 6 and 16 have never attended school, this made it possible for boko haram to have ready made people available for recruitment due to the high level of illiteracy rate in State [22].…”

It will be rare to have a discussion on human existence without mentioning violence; but it will be unfair to see religion as the main reason for violence. Although, religion has an input in violence, but religion in isolation can’t breed violence without the input of some other factors which are further explain in this article. This article adopted qualitative method and secondary data. The secondary data was collected through website, publications, journals and textbooks. The data collected through secondary data reveals that religion on its own does not breed violence but it is a component of violence that can be aided by poverty, inequality, bad governance among other factors.

“…For emphasis, the concept of knowledge acquisition is a sine qua non to philosophy, as the latter is envisaged literally as the search for knowledge and wisdom. Central to any philosophical inquiry is the concern about what one claims to know and how one comes about such knowledge [3][4][5][6][7]. Various epochs in philosophy have recorded the pursuit of knowledge acquisition, dated from the era of the Greek Sophists, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, till this contemporary era.…”

This paper dwells on the concept of Buber's 'Ich and Du', popularly known as 'I and Thou', as it concerns knowledge production and acquisition. From Buberian parlance, 'I and Thou' can be seen in twofold, 'I-It' and 'I-Thou'. While the former emphasizes separation, the latter accentuates relation. In its original position, this paper raises questions as, what knowledge is, what lie is, what constitutes truth, how knowledge becomes different from belief, who is/are to be educated, amongst others. The paper further clarifies terms as, 'to know' and 'to learn', and critically examines the philosophical anthropology of man, essence of man and relevance of knowledge acquisition. With the realization of human advancement, this paper submits that an individual to/with individual must strive to realize one another’s potentialities and intend each another as a particular person specifically reaching out in a bipolar situation not seeing one another as mere objects but rather same as oneself.
