Mobile Phones and Non-Violence Conflict Promotion among Undergraduate Students of University of Ibadan, Nigeria
Abstract

It is unpretentiously obvious that Mobile phones (MP), a brand of Digital technologies have come to stay and have become part and parcel of the peoples’ lives not only in developed nations alone but also in the developing and under-developed countries of the world including Nigeria although MP usage varies and depends on different social classes including students. A quantitative research approach was adopted for this study. A stratified and simple random sampling
technique was used to select 200 participants. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from participants and data were analysed using simple percentages. It was found that young students use their mobile phones more frequently for making and receiving calls, for browsing the internet, messaging, watching films, playing games, chatting on websites like WhatsApp, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Music, Radio, Photography and so on rather than using it to disseminate information that promotes and enhances peace and peaceful coexistence in and outside the school environment. It is therefore recommended among others that students should endeavor to be proactive and law abiding in using their MP so that peace and stability can reign on campuses and in our society generally.
