A New African Philosophy by Philosopher1979: 4:46pm On Sep 05, 2014
i Just created a philosophy called Ogbonism. Coined from Ogon, the yoruba word for wisdom. I will regard Ogon as a form of native African intelligence.Ogbon is a principle or concept that is inherent in the Yoruba world view and even daily interactions. In fact, it is used daily by Yoruba people in their everyday conversations. From my point of view, to be gbon is to be wise or mature. It can sometimes be deemed to come with age and experience. This is referred to in the cliché that “o dagba gbon si” or as a person grow older he becomes wiser or more intelligent.
Ogbon is a concept that covers all facets of human life and can be interpreted as a way in which intelligence is being used to solve human problems. As in the cliché common in everyday speech in Yoruba “O dogbon si”, as in he used intelligence to solve a problem or situation. Ogbon is a concept that encourages an individual to use his innate intelligence to solve everyday human and social problems and so it can be regarded to some certain extent as creativity.

Now these days so many companies want these types of promotional tools and print the slogan and logo at the front of the product.

Existence of Philosophy in Traditional Africa: A Hermeneutical Approach

According to C.B Okolo: “A split of ‘no and yes’ was evident among scholars. It is clear that this initial problem of African philosophy was somehow grounded in the problematic nature of the very concept of philosophy in general and African philosophy in particular.”4 C.B Okolo further stated that another scholar E.A Ruch is of the opinion that African philosophy for whatever it was worth was mere cultural anthropology. He writes;
