Abstract

Nigeria after a century of birth and over five decades of freedom from shackles of colonization
and imperialism is yet to be one of the great nations of the world. The socio-economic and political problems, which have stampeded development and progress in Nigeria (nay Africa in general) calls for a sober reflection. The problems include economic quagmire, insecurity, corruption, bad leadership, ravaging diseases high death rate, ethnicism, etc. This paper argues that African philosophy will play a key role in revamping this ugly situation for the achievement of national greatness. This would be achieved through its effects on the human agent and structures of development in one hand and by providing solution to invisible problems of cultural alienation and identity crisis that have adversely affected the development and progress of many African nations.
