IMPACT OF MODERN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT MECHANISM ON IGWEBUIKE PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The presence of the colonizers has created a new form of conict in Africa. There was an established, recognized and effective system of resolving conict prior to the advent of the colonial masters. The presence of modern conict management has posed a great challenge to the existing traditional method. The work adopted a descriptive method to study the impact of modern conict resolution on Igwebuike philosophy. The study is necessitated by the experimentation of the novel model of conict resolution in the same environment and space, where the traditional conict resolution once blossomed. This research work will attract the attention of policy makers, traditional rulers and political leaders in deciding the best method to resolve conict. It has also exposed the deciency and corruption inherent in modern conict resolution. Thus, in the healing process, modern methods only rub and never massage the broken bones of conict in Igwebuike philosophy of peace and conict resolution.
