IGWEBUIKE‟ PHILOSOPHY VIS-A-VIS RELIGIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF THE YORUBA

Résumé

This work examined the Igwebuike‟ Philosophy in the Religio-Cultural Activities of the Yoruba People of Southwestern Nigeria. The idea of Igwebuike philosophy as communal life was related to living and sharing together of the Yoruba people no matter the age and condition and age of such. Living together in a large number, with a recognised leader give much strength to them in times of good and bad, especially at every celebrations. Also, in bad times like during dispute and mourning. They have time to do things together or in common even to the extent of raising children up or educating them in the community. Igwebuike Philosophy is not distant from Yoruba style of life because, Yoruba life is based on community living.
