Child Soldiers in Africa and Implications for Nigeria

In the paper, I examine and argue on the conceptual issues surrounding the use of children as child soldiers in Africa, the international perceptions on the issue plaguing the continent besieged by conflicts and the implications therein for Nigeria. It recommends, among others, that practices, customs and traditions that encourage the use of children as child soldiers be abolished because what occurs in a community or society to a large extent informs what courses of action that community or society will take. Further, there must be a strengthening of international laws that can properly cope with the issue.
