Discussion

The 2018 edition of this journal published Prof. Okere’s “Igbo Concept of Justice and Peace” and with a critical assessment of it by Dr. A. C. Ajah. In 2019 edition Ass. Prof. Umezinwa criticized Ajah’s assessment, accusing him of misreading, prejudices, etc. However, this edition brings Ajah back to clarify his stand. More than that, he highlights the dangers of ethnophilosophy upon which Okere-Umezinwa’s arguments rest.
