After seeing the meaning from all dialects in nigeria. I think i can now give a general definition.

Peace is defined as a situation whereby the hausas sheath their daggers, burying their bombs, The igbos thinking about things that can contribute to the developement of the nation rather than what happened 43years ago. And the yorubas stopping their loud mouth.
