Summary, etc. | The Igbo are one of the ethno-cultural language groups in Nigeria who live on both sides of River Niger. Every human society is blessed with a culture that is properly hers and the Igbo’s is not different. The Igbo society is richily endowed with enviable cultures, traditions and religious values. It is a nation with deep religious and moral code, Omenala, which permeated every aspect of their lives. In their worldviews, the world of the spirits and that of the material are together, separate though but at the same time, intertwined. However, the early missionaries and colonialists in their encounter with the Igbo traditional customs started from non-recognition of the Igbo cultural and religious values to condemnation and total destruction of Igbo traditional and religious values as well as their symbolisms. They gave the impression that Igbo has no history, laws, morality and therefore, no social order or social organizations. The total disregard and destruction of the cultures, traditions and religion of the Igbo people has resulted in discrepancies between the private and public lives of the Igbo Christian. The rim of this study is to examine Ikpu-alaas an Igbo social justice valuesystem and to investigate if Igbo social value system could be integrated into Christian social value.In the study, the researcher used sample populations from a cross-section of Igbo communities. This approach enabled the researcher to generate data from large pool of respondents. The methodology of this empirical research was modelled after the Richard Osmer’s and Ray Anderson’s model in practical theology. The analysis of the data generated in this study showed that Ikpu-alaas an Igbo social justice value system has been and is still an effective tool in the administration of justice among the Igbo of Eastern Nigeria. The result of the study also showed that Ikpu-alais integral to social justice and reconciliation in Igbo land. The result of the study also indicated that Ikpu-alawith its theological value can assist the Igbo Church in the Sacrament of reconciliation. |
