King and Counsellors: Pre-Colonial Indigenous Administrative Virtues in South-West Nigeria as Transformative Tool in Stemming Socio-Religious Tides in Africa
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: One of the major challenges to transformation in Africa is insecurity due to socio-religious upheavals. The level of insecurity in some countries in Africa is so high that it poses great threat to transformative bids in various facets of governance. Constant security reports in the audio-visual and print media are largely on the negative to the point that one is forced to assume that the experience is now the order of the day. The perpetrators of the evil act seem to be taking advantage of concentration of security vigilance on city-centres rather than local settings where the recruitment and training of the hoodlums seem to be carried out more. This implies that there is the need for an administrative procedure that will easily detect and nip the socio- religious upheavals in the bud. This paper therefore, proposes the indigenous administrative procedure of king and his counsellors in South-west Nigeria to transform the African societies to a more peaceful atmosphere. This is because the indigenous administrative virtues being proposed accounted for the enduring peaceful scenarios in the traditional African societies.
