Abstract

Previous studies have shown the circumstances that led to the birth of Modakeke; the status of Modakeke and that of its people has always been a source of dispute and conflict due to issues relating to landlord/tenant relationship or indigene/non-indigene issues. The conflict has grown and matured to the extent it is no longer a physical battle alone. Its psychological dimension has reached the extent that the parties are in cold war, and become major elements in impoverishment, undermining human security and sustainable urban development in the region. Bridging the gap between conflict resolution and its termination, a survey technique method through administration of structured questionnaire to three hundred and seventy two (372) eye-witness as well as household members in the locality was adopted. The statistical analysis result shows that as long as the children of women from Ife/Modakeke that are inter-married see themselves as kinsmen unlike strangers and enemies; then, conflict will reduce drastically and peace shall begin to reign in the two communities. This paper concludes that for sustainable peace to be attained there is the need to pursue policies that encourages strong ethnic attachment in the communities. Finally, contact within an educational setting would also reduce intolerant attitude and lead to better intercrops relations between the communities.
