During such conflicts, many lives -were lost and properties running into millions of naira were also lost, the conflicts succeeded in limiting social interaction and harmony amongst the people. The crises have also resulted in the sharp increase in the number of widows and orphans leading to prostitution, unemployment, school dropout etc. The conflicts have affected the voting. and campaign patterns, democratic values and norms.

For where there is justice there will be peace and where is peace, there will be no conflicts.
