Abstract

The two world religions that invaded the African continent have no doubt influenced African world view in all aspects. Again the response given by African continent has been interpreted in several ways by many authors. This paper advocated that Ịgwebụike as a key principle to this interpretation can give us a good explanation of what happened years ago and what is still going on. With African solidarity and complementarity, explanation on religious change or conversion will be comprehensive. Then African traditional religion will also be among the world religions. Ịgwebụike as a key principle of explanation will also account or explainfully the reasons behind the mushrooming of independent churches or the rise of penticostalism in Africa. By way of quick understanding, the paper tends to explain the historical approach of religious change as explained by Fisher (Historical approach) and socio-structural approach by Ifeka-Moller.
