In this lecture, Obiora Ike explores African traditional religions as rich sources of ethical values, emphasising community, respect for life, and harmony with nature. He explains that African ethics are deeply rooted in relationships—between people, ancestors, and the spiritual world—shaping moral responsibility and social cohesion.
He argues that these traditional values remain relevant today, especially in addressing modern challenges such as corruption, individualism, and social breakdown. Ike calls for integrating African ethical wisdom with global systems, promoting dialogue between cultures and religions to build a more balanced, humane, and ethically grounded society.
