IMPACT OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIETAL CHALLENGES LIKE OSU CASTE SYSTEM IN IGBO LAND NIGERIA AND ITS ABOLITION THROUGH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS.

Abstract

As enlightened citizens of the society, it is high time we mount very serious intellectual campaign against the eradication of the ungodly and obnoxious discrimination perpetrated against our brothers and sisters through the sustenance of Osu and Ume caste system in Igbo land of Nigeria. This reviewed paper titled “impact of education and communication in the management of societal challenges like Osu caste system in Igbo land Nigeria and its abolition through emerging technologies and innovation“ focuses on emerging Christian religion as the communication strategies in the eradication of this obnoxious Quagmire we find ourselves in igboland of Nigeria. The paper will critically examine the negative attitude of some Igbo elites towards Osu abolition in Igbo land. The language of communication and enforcement of Osu caste abolition comes from the church’s approval of non-discrimination as enshrined in the holy bible. For instance Paul’s teaching on non, discrimination, Peter’s justification on non-discrimination, baptism liberates man from original sin, Osu and Ume, were discussed. Critical evaluation and conclusion were made with recommendations for the way forward.
