Traditional ethics in this paper refers to the norms, precepts, principles and moral codes, which regulate the conduct and actions of individuals in African societies. The paper provides a clear understanding of African Ethics and morality. It shows how traditional ethical principles helped to maintain and ensure social order and stability in traditional African societies. It x-rays the effects of Western civilization and culture on the smooth functioning of traditional ethics. It recommends the utilization of traditional ethical principles in the development of the abundant human and material resources in modern Africa, especially in this age of globalization. The paper finally, advocates a harmonization of the positive elements of traditional ethics with Western culture for a better moral society in contemporary Africa.

Although pots of ink and tons of prints have been expended on the gender question, nevertheless, most commentators on gender issues have not really addressed them in such logical and conceptual manner as to put the women problems in proper perspective. This is what this paper is aimed at correcting. The paper does not seek to argue for the equality of men and women or the replacement of male domination with a stronger female domination, but for the empowerment of women through the removal of the constitutional, cultural and social shackles that have tended to hinder their development and self-actualization over the ages.

尽管在性别问题上花费了大量的墨水和大量的印刷品，然而，大多数关于性别问题的评论员并没有真正以逻辑和概念的方式来处理这些问题，从而正确地看待妇女问题。这正是本文所要纠正的。本文并不主张男女平等，也不主张以更强的女性统治取代男性统治，而是主张通过消除多年来阻碍女性发展和自我实现的宪法、文化和社会束缚，赋予女性权力。《非洲哲学研究》Vol. 9 (1) 2006: pp. 154-161

Cultism is one of the social vices that have continued to defy solutions in Nigeria's tertiary educational institutions. Many students have been maimed, mutilated and even killed as a result of campus cult activities. This paper examines the origin, types and the initiation procedures of campus cults. The reasons for cult membership, the reasons for its continuous existence in Nigerian campuses and the consequences of cult activities have also been ex-rayed. Measures aimed at curbing campus cult activities are also brought to limelight. SOPHIA: An African Journal of Philosophy Vol. 9 (1) 2006: pp. 130-133

Traditional institutions and shrines play very important roles in the life of the communities within which they are situated in the African setting. These traditional institutions and shrines have existed from earliest times and in some cases are as old as the communities where they exist. Prior to the advent of Christianity, Islam and other external modernization influences, the traditional institutions and shrines had very far-reaching and important influences. However, in spite of the impact of these external forces, traditional institutions and shrines have maintained a central focus in the cosmic life of the typical African man and the community at large. This is because, though the African may not believe in the efficacy of the traditional institutions and shrines he is still conscious of their existence and influences. Thus in most cases, the individual conducts his/her affairs in such a way that he/she tries to avoid contact or conflict with the shrine and traditional institutions or their ceremonies. One of such traditional institutions and shrines is the Ekpe Fraternity shrine among the Efik of the lower Cross River Basin. The fraternity shrine had played a very major and significant role in the past and still plays some roles in the present. Although its influence had declined due to the introduction of modern institutions of government and the impact Christianity, it still plays a role in the lives of the inhabitants of the community. In this paper, we shall be considering the ethical-social and judicial significance of the Ekpe fraternity shrine and the changing roles of the fraternity over the years in the Efik community.

传统的机构和神殿在它们所在的非洲社区的生活中发挥着非常重要的作用。这些传统的机构和神殿从最早的时代就存在了，在某些情况下，它们和它们所在的社区一样古老。在基督教、伊斯兰教等外来现代化影响到来之前，传统的机构和神龛对其产生了非常深远和重要的影响。然而，尽管受到这些外部力量的影响，传统的机构和神殿仍然是典型非洲人和整个社区的宇宙生活的中心焦点。这是因为，尽管非洲人可能不相信传统机构和神殿的功效，但他仍然意识到它们的存在和影响。因此，在大多数情况下，个人以这样一种方式处理他/她的事务，他/她尽量避免与神社和传统机构或其仪式接触或冲突。这样的传统机构和神殿之一是埃克佩博爱神殿，位于克罗斯河下游盆地的埃菲克人中。博爱神龛在过去发挥了非常重要的作用，现在仍然发挥着一些作用。尽管由于现代政府机构的引入和基督教的影响，它的影响力有所下降，但它仍然在社区居民的生活中发挥着作用。在本文中，我们将考虑埃菲克兄弟会神社的伦理-社会和司法意义，以及多年来埃菲克社区兄弟会角色的变化。《索菲亚:非洲哲学》Vol. 9 (1) 2006: pp. 45-48
