IGWEBUIKE: African Journal of Arts and Humanities

The presence of the colonizers has created a new form of con?ict in Africa. There was an established, recognized and effective system of resolving con?ict prior to the advent of the colonial masters. The presence of modern con?ict management has posed a great challenge to the existing traditional method. The work adopted a descriptive method to study the impact of modern con?ict resolution on Igwebuike philosophy. The study is necessitated by the experimentation of the novel model of con?ict resolution in the same environment and space, where the traditional con?ict resolution once blossomed. This research work will attract the attention of policy makers, traditional rulers and political leaders in deciding the best method to resolve con?ict. It has also exposed the de?ciency and corruption inherent in modern con?ict resolution. Thus, in the healing process, modern methods only rub and never massage the broken bones of con?ict in Igwebuike philosophy of peace and con?ict resolution.
