Abstract:
Insecurity is a situation where lives and property are not safe. It is a state in which lives and property
are in danger. Insecurity means a condition in which there is incessant loss of lives and property.
Therefore, the work examined the role played by African traditional religious values in curbing
insecurity in Igboland for peaceful and orderly society. The study used phenomenological approach.
It was descriptive and analytical. The researcher used two sources in collecting data. The two sources
used include primary and secondary sources. It was discovered that there was no guarantee of
protection of lives and property. Insecurity put human lives at risk and ushers in disorder in the
society. Insecurity was a bane to the security of lives in both urban and rural areas due to neglect of
African Traditional religious values that held sway in the past. The work recommended that city
dwellers should imbibe the cherished African traditional religious values in order to checkmate the
high rate of insecurity in Igboland. |
