Since time in memorial, philosophy has played a central and significant role in human thoughts and civilizations. From the likes of ancient Indian, Chinese to Greek and other western philosophies.

Back here at home in Nigeria and Africa, we seem to be lacking philosophical tradition say at least in the Nigerian or African context. There are handful of philosophers of African descent.

Philosophy is understood as the study of general and fundamental problems. Looking at the magnitudes of problems and social ills facing Africa. After all, it was such uptick in philosophy that ushered in the 'Age of Reason' in the western world, and, therefore, contributed greatly to the development of their societies in every facets of life.

Do you think more emphasis on philosophical reasoning by trained philosophers will go a long way in addressing many problems plaguing Africa? Because the people I see on TV commenting on these issues are mere commentators. Some of them even happen to be after their own interest.
