About the Journal

ÌJÍRÒRÒ is an African philosophy students’ journal of philosophy. The word ‘ìjíròrò’ is a Yoruba term for ‘conversation’ or ‘deliberation’. It is chosen because the journal is geared towards bringing in African philosophy students, (post)graduates and undergraduates alike, into academic conversations for the ultimate goal of adding to the existing body of knowledge and possibly proffering solutions to the existential problems in our society. Accordingly, the journal is first African, because it accentuates African wisdom. It is for students, because it is geared towards making the voice of students heard in the African dispensation – soro soke!

ÌJÍRÒRÒ is published three times in a year and this is the maiden edition. The staff of Ìjíròrò are Philosophy students, drawn from several universities across Africa and the world, some of whom belong to The Ìjíròrò Network for Young African Scholars.

As you progress through your career as students, be aware of the opportunities you have to edify your education and build your experience. Consider writing and revising essays to submit to journals. Contributing to academic journals has lots of untapped potentials. There are numerous testimonials on the internet about how it has prepared people for their careers.
