Does truth have a universal characteristic or standard? Does it differ in socio-cultural, socioreligious and socio-political terms? Truth is often seen as being in accordance with fact or reality. But that fact or reality can be argued by the relativists to be subject to change or only spurred for the moment. This present paper tends to look at Igwebuike as a concept and see how the term as an Igbo worldview represents a universal search for truth in reality and how it relates to relativism. Is truth absolute or is it relative? The Study seeks to answer this and the related questions. For the purpose of this paper, the Igwebuike Research method of inquiry was employed.

Philosophy is viewed by some people as an irrelevant discipline; a discipline that lacks human touch. It is also viewed as an abstract enterprise only. Some people are of the view that philosophy was only relevant in the past and no longer relevant in our era of ever-growing science and technology. The pertinent questions now are: Is philosophy actually irrelevant to the contemporary society? What role does philosophy play or should play in our society? Therefore, employing the philosophical methods of analysis and phenomenology, this paper maintains that philosophy plays a vital role in our contemporary Nigerian society. The paper submits that philosophy is essential for an integral human development. It recommends for at least a little dosage of philosophical training for all, especially in all levels of our educational sector. This is premised on the fact that philosophy tr...

Philosophy of life has to do with the general principles that guide an individual or group of individuals. It has to do with the ideology that helps individuals to understand and interpret the world. Studies have shown that Igbo philosophy of life is summed up as community consciousness, hard work, competiveness, adaptability to change, determination to success among other things. These are some of the qualities that characterize Igbo philosophy of life. Today, the proliferation of prayer houses in the southeast Nigeria is growing in geometric progression. Most of these prayer houses lay more emphasis on miracles, divine intervention and devil possession. Employing the philosophical methodof phenomenology, this study observes that the proliferation of prayer houses in Igboland –southeast Nigeria –encourages...

It is important to note that there are principally two kinds of virtues, namely, moral and theological virtues. The former is acquired by proper education and constant effort while the latter is said to be infused by God. It is not within the scope of the present work to go into a detailed discussion of the two kinds of virtues. Suffice it to say that our focus in this book will be more on moral virtues. Akam (1995) states that moral virtues “are strengthened by natural acts” (p. 26). The implication here is that virtue is all about knowing and doing but more of doing than mere knowing. It makes no sense to say that a person knows the good without doing the good. Such a person cannot be said to be virtuous.
The book in your hands: The Virtuous Woman: Reflections on Nnemuruoha Susanna Onyemaechi Onah is an attempt to recognize and appreciate the efforts of Nnemuruoha Susanna Onyemaechi Onah towards imbibing and most importantly manifesting good moral character despite all odds and challenges of life. It is undeniable the fact that Nnemuruoha Onah is truly a virtuous woman who is quite loving, altruistic, disciplined, caring, industrious and very well committed to the things of God, human and community development. Her imprints within and outside her immediate environment are testimonies of her outstanding way of life and noble qualities. The Holy Scripture says: “by their fruits, you shall know them” (Mtt. 7:20). This book is written in thanksgiving to God for the 70th birthday (1950 – 2020) of Nnemuruoha S. O. Onah. It is my sincere and earnest prayer that God will continue to keep Nnemuruoha in sound health of mind and body to enable her to continue to live virtuous and exemplary life. Happy 70th birthday Mama!
