Abstract

Right from traditional African philosophy, down to its modern and contemporary era, there has been a strong link between African philosophy and language, underlined by the principle of complementarity. This is not disconnected with Placid Tempels' employment of force to explain being, and Alexis Ka game's NTU, as the underlying principle of reality. Pantaleon Iroegbu explained being as belongingness. In the thoughts of Innocent Asouzu, Ibuanyidanda, was used to explain the complementary nature of reality. In the . face of ever growing complexities, African philosophers have continued to employ African categories for the search for solutions to African problems. At a time like ours when many African governments have failed in national development, especially in their ability to improve the social welfare of her people through the provision of social amenities like quality education, portable water, transportation, good roads, good medical amenities, security of lives and property, basic infrastructure, etc., this work employs Igwebuike philosophy, another African category, as a framework for Africa's development. It devel­ops a model of development which is inclusive and wholistic, and traces Africa's problem of underdevelopment to the employment of non-inclusive political and economic institu­tions. For the purpose of this research, the hermeneutic and Wholistic indigenous method of inquiry was employed.
