Title:   IGBO CULTURAL VALUES: THE ISSUE OF GLOBALIZATION

Globalization has been an issue in developing countries, of which Igbo people are no exception. This issue of globalization has created a lot of misconception in the mind of the populace. Western norms and practices are gradually being transported across the globe as the acceptable way of behaviour. This phenomenon has had its positive and negative impacts since its inception. Igbo cultural values have been relegated to the background through the impacts of globalization. The Igbo seem to be fighting colonialism but have identified themselves most intimately along with all the other ethnic groups in Nigeria with the culture of the white man they have been fighting due to globalization. These call for an immediate cultural revival in Igbo land. This paper will attempt to examine the extent globalization has affected the cultural identity of Igbo people.
