Abstract

The Hebrew Shalom (peace), mentioned three times in Esther (2:11; 9:30; 10:3), being the primary blessing to a people harassed by foes remained the quest of a people in exile at Susan the palace as recorded in the book of Esther. This quest for peace was actualized through appropriate information and records kept in the Zikkaron that is, royal annals or book of records (Esther 2:23; 6:1-3; 10:2). The information generated and utilized in the episode recorded in the book of Esther exhibited the characteristics of information which comprise of authenticity, accuracy, accessibility and completion. The paper infers that there was no appropriate usage of information regarding Nigeria's alliance with South Africa against the apartheid rules hence the unwarranted xenophobic attacks on even Nigerians, ft fitrther holds that there has not been appropriate usage of the blueprint from the National Conference especially in Nigeria hence the chaos in Nigeria's socio-political terrain. The paper therefore submits that proper information and records management could result in friendly policies that would enhance peaceful co-existence as evident in the book of Esther, and as such, the application of this text of Esther in Africa's quest for peace in the face of violence and conflicts remains pertinent and incontro vertible.
