Colonialism and the resilience of indigenous institutions in Africa
Colonialism exerted a profound influence in reshaping the cultural landscapes of numerous African societies, and Igbo culture inclusive. However, it is an oversimplification to presume that every facet of Igbo culture was fundamentally altered by colonialism without rigorous, in-depth investigation. One cultural institution that demonstrated remarkable resilience against colonial transformative pressures was the Ọzọ institution. Consequently, thi…
Reassessing Tradition
In 1900, when the British Government assumed administrative control over Nigeria from the Royal Niger Company, Sir Frederick Lugard, implementing Indirect Rule, retained the Company’s policy of applying indigenous laws and customs in the administration of justice. However, these native laws and customs were required to pass the repugnancy test, which served as a filter to eliminate aspects of Nigerian customary law deemed incompatible with Britis…

The roles and consequences of foreign involvement in Nigeria’s internal violent conflicts
Nigeria has suffered several cases of violent conflicts since its political independence from Britain in 1960. Prominent among these were the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), herdsmen-farmers clashes and Boko-Haram insurgency. Unfortunately, extant studies on Nigeria’s violent conflicts have focused mainly on the internal dynamics of these conflicts to the neglect of the significant roles played by foreign actors. It is this gap that this paper ai…
Colonialism, migration and intergroup relations in Africa
Migration has been an inseparable and indispensable part of the history of the Igbo nation. However, the nature, dynamics, and drivers of migration among the Igbo significantly altered since colonial era. Scholars have interrogated aspects of migration and its impact on the Igbo nation. Not many studies; however, have interrogated Igbo migration into Cameroon as well as the Igbo-Cameroon Intergroup relations during the period under review. This p…
Official Development Assistance and the Third World’s Debt Crisis
There had been calls over the years for Official Development Assistance to developing countries of the world, particularly to countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These calls hinge on the belief that the fund will resuscitate the ailing economy of the recipient countries. After channelling resources to the developing countries after almost half a century, it would appear that little development has taken place. This study, however, examined the impac…
