| dc.description.abstract | The cultural worldview of a people encompasses their beliefs, philosophies, norms, ethos, taboos, superstitions and traditional practices which sum up to folklores. The values contained in the folklores are usually expressed and portrayed through ritual festivals, ceremonies, art forms, proverbs, riddles, and even through the significant given names. Therefore, every given ethnic group is peculiar with the worldview which forms the bedrock of their moral values and identity. It is not news that a good number of people in modern times hold onto an ill-informed notion that indigenous African traditions and practices are fetish. On the contrary, a deeper exploration into the cultural worldview of any given ethnic group in Nigeria will actually reveal that a good number of traditional practices were nurtured on the principles and philosophy of good moral values. This paper therefore explores the cultural worldview of the Ebira ethnic group in Nigeria as an embodiment of uprightness, integrity, honour and goodwill meant to guide and keep up the moral sanity of the people’s thoughts and actions. Hence, the prevailing moral decadence will not thrive in our societies if the moral values embedded in the various cultural values such as in the Ebira cultural worldview are upheld and practiced with utmost sense of obligation and dedication | en_US |
