DELSU HOSTS 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The African indigenous knowledge systems which has hitherto been basterdized by Colonialism and unarguably helped by African scholars to undermine and disdain indigenous African ways of life, are now making a remarkable turnaround. They now believe that the solutions to Africa’s problem lie within and until we realize this and begin to make a conscious and painstaking study, analysis and utilization of Africa’s knowledge systems, development will continue to elude the Continent.
This was x-rayed by humanity scholars, at the 5th International Conference midwife by the Faculty of Arts Delta State University, Abraka with the theme: “The humanities and Reconstruction of Indigenous knowledge systems in Africa”.
Declaring the conference open, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Victor F. Peretomode, disclosed that the conference which started over a decade ago, to create a cross-fertilization of intellectual discourse among key players in the humanities, has continued to wax stronger over the years. While commending the Dean of Arts, Professor (Mrs.) Grace N. Ogwu, for sustaining the efforts of the past Deans to ensure that the conference ran smoothly in her tenure. Professor Peretomode, noted that the bi-annual conference has created the enabling environment for the undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as lecturers in the Faculty to update and intensify their knowledge of contemporary intellectual discourse in the humanities.
On the theme of the conference, the Vice-Chancellor said that it was germane as it would serve as a veritable tool for Nigeria as well as Africa’s artistic, socio-economic and technological development and not the present development based on sheepishly copying western models, which according to him are extraneous to our milieu and culture. According to him, “the juxtaposition of indigenous knowledge system of human endeavour will catapult Nigeria and Africa Continent from a developing country to a developed one”.
On his part, the keynote speaker and Director, Nigerian French Language Village, Badagry Lagos, Professor Raufu Adebisi, posited that as contemporary world system continues to experience stress and strains, experts in each field the world over are brainstorming on alternative means of going about development, in such a way as to avoid the degradation of the environment and its adverse consequence on man.
He further said that the reconstruction of indigenous knowledge systems implies that while the indigenous knowledge system of African communities could be incorporated into modern techniques so also that of modernity could be incorporated into traditional techniques so that modernity could be made to blend with traditional techniques of African communities. The essence of this combination is to achieve a harmonious mixture acceptable to a partisan of modernism and tradition so as to enable African communities to regain their equilibrium and contribute to the ongoing global efforts to find a balance between development and environment and between prevalence values of the modern world and those of indigenous community of Africa.
Taking his turn, Professor Onyee Nwankpa of the Department of Music, University of Port-Harcourt, blamed the extinction of the indigenous knowledge systems on globalization, ecrocentricism, urbanization, education development, modernity and the quest for white colar jobs. He urged academics to do alot of discourse on the indigenous knowledge system that will ultimately lead to a revival of cultural norms and ethos that are capable of repositioning the Continent to a comfortable place in the global socio-economic landscape. Professor Nwankpa noted that the indigenous knowledge system that is not humane in nature is exotic to Africa. In the health sector of African traditional society, healing is not carried out only on the physical level; it believed that it must also be takled from the spiritual realm. The Africans believe that what happens at the spiritual realm are exhibited in the physical.
Dr. Nduka Otiono, of the Institute of African Studies, Charleton University, Otawa Canada, taking his turn, called on Universities to create room for the teaching of indigenous knowledge in their Universities by those who may not have formal education. In his contribution, Professor G.G. Darah opined that, it is time Africa’s academia got off its high horse and embrace, rehabilitate and adopt indigenous knowledge systems into its fold to serve African societies better. The conference is an inauguration of the era of alternative thinking saying “that why not call the man who can stop rain as rain engineer and not rain maker”.
And on her part, the host and Dean, Faculty of Arts, Professor (Mrs.) Grace N. Ogwu, called on African scholars to come up with ideas that would catapult the Continent to work inward like China and the Asian tigers in order to achieve genuine and rapid socio-economic and technological development”.
Present at the opening ceremony of the conference were the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor (Mrs.) R.O. Aziza, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Austin Anigala, Provost Asaba Campus, Professor S.O. Asagba, the Registrar Mr. D. A. Urhibo, Ag. Bursar Mr. Justice Egbare and Ag. Librarian Dr. Daniel Emojerho among others. The ceremony was co-anchored by the representative of the Public Relations Officer, Mr. Henry Eseka and Dr. (Mrs.) Enajite Ojaruega of the English and Literary Studies Department.
