Exploring an African Political Thought: An Exposition of Nnamdi Azikiwe's "Zikism" and its Relevance in Present-day Africa
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: African social and political philosophy is deeply interlaced with the daily life of Africans. Therefore, the paper explores one of the developments of this African philosophy, Zikism, which is a political philosophy or ideology propounded by Nnamdi Azikiwe, which is principally aimed at the decolonization of the minds of young Africans, in preparation for a battle against colonial Africans, brainwashed by their colonial masters. Bearing in mind that the era of colonization has come and gone, the paper x-rayed the relevance of such theory in ensuring that total emancipation from Political, social and economic neo-colonialism is achieved in Africa. It adopted the qualitative expository method to explain what the theory is, and what it stands for while outlining its relevance in present-day Africa. Keywords: Zikism, African thought, exposition, Relevance, Nnamdi Azikiwe
