The Meaning of Inter-communal Relationship
Inter-communal means existing between communities. Inter-communal relationship is, therefore, the way one community behaves towards another. It is the attitude of a community towards another. Such attitude or relationship can manifest in different ways. It could be harmonious, cordial, reverential or chaotic, disorderly and un-cordial. Whichever way it manifests, it is a function of communal ideals, customs, norms and world views. The relationship existing between a group sharing accommodation, goods, services, beliefs, religion and geographical boundaries or space is also referred to as “inter-communal relationship”. In Nigeria, there have been several communal feuds (quarrel) at different times. At times, they occur between people who have the same historical background, that is, people that have co-existed for hundreds of years through inter-marriage and trade relations. At the end of this long quarrel/bitterness, wanton destruction of lives and properties are usually the outcome.
Ideally, communities are supposed to co-exist happily, peacefully and harmoniously. Inter- communal relationship is a clarion call for peaceful co-existence in spite of dialectical, cultural, religious or traditional differences.
