There has been a sharp decline in our value system in Nigeria and most African Countries. The core values and ethical behaviours that characterized traditional African societies are gradually giving way for laziness, disrespect for elders and constituted authorities, “get rich quick” syndrome and other unethical practices. This has found outlet in crimes such as cultism, armed robbery, kidnapping and political violence perpetrated by youths in Rivers State. Consequently, there has been a state of unrest in the State. Some have attributed this to westernization. Whatever the cause of this is, it is common knowledge that everyone in the state desires peace as this is the only way development can thrive. There is an urgent need, therefore, for us to return to our roots by introducing the components of indigenous education that ensured we had saner societies where youths were taught the dignity of labour, respect for elders and authorities, neighborliness and patriotism
