AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION FOR AFRICAN DECOLONISATION

Abstract

Africa has been an unfortunate continent. Unlike other continents that were discovered and explored, the exploration of Continental African nations nevertheless turned into exploitation: from slavery to colonization unto neo-colonization through the capital flight-open market and indebtedness to either Europe or one of the Asian dragons. However, the colonization that was meant to develop African states left them truncated leading to many challenges like African predicaments amidst geopolitics of underdevelopment. Hence, the need for an African Philosophy of Decolonization in stricto sensu. As an applied critical enterprise, it is the statutory deAfricanization of Europeanized Africa as well as the cloned Africa while pruning the overly dependent African nations from their colonial branches; emancipating them from imperial servitude and Bob Nestor Marley’s mental slavery. The researcher with firm analysis proposes a functional and complementary African Philosophy of Decolonization that will in its complementarity acknowledge the Magisterial and Papal legacies of Decolonization.
