HARMONY

Among languages of Africa, Igbo is considered in the literature to give a model instance of vowel harmony based on the [ATR] feature. A record of the regular and the irregular examples are exhibited here, guided via autosegmental phonology. Along these lines, the present examination looks at vowel harmony and disharmony in Igbo on the premise of a corpus of exact information drawn from noncontiguous provincial dialects. The reason is to present empirical data to demonstrate the conventional depictions made on the basis of the standard Igbo. It likewise demonstrates that exemptions are noticeable, as instances of disharmony, which have not gotten satisfactory consideration in the writing, and would like to attract regard for them by concentrating on them. Inclining toward the autosegmental phonology for this record is down to earth as the hypothesis all the more exquisitely represents the inside constituents of the CV skeleton and the relative autonomy of a V-put as against a C-put, essential to the operation of vowel harmony. More than one vowel is observed to be opaque over the dialects, however share regular formal portrayal.

Peace is a concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence of hostility and violence (Wikipedia 2020). In a social sense, peace is commonly used to mean a lack of conflict (such as war) and freedom from fear of violence between individuals or groups. Relevant studies have shown that Nigeria has been tagged “a security risk nation”, because of the incessant crises, social vices, and lack of cordial relationship among its ethnic and religious groups. This project also showed the implication of conflicts as it affects peaceful co-existence in Nigeria and the roles of Christianity in solving the violence or conflicts in the nation. However, so much good has been done in the name of religion. Tasie (2002) reiterates that religion per se does not create problems, particularly the three main religions of Nigeria- African Traditional Religion, Christianity and Islam.
