Abstract :
As cultures from the sub-region of (Nigeria and then Africa), a continent which falls under those parts of the world that have experienced great political, economic, social and religious turbulence and restiveness, care must be taken in examining their systemic progression in a world that has become a global village. Under globalisation, the challenge is thus to bring to its barest minimum, social inequalities, poverty, displacements, environmental degradation, human and civil rights abuses, war, hunger and disease which in their entirety constitute problematics to the world today. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) defined globalisation as The rapid integration of Economies worldwide through trade financial flows, technology spill overs, information networks and cross-cultural currents” (IMF 101). This definition has come under close scrutiny with scholars alleging that, globalisation is not about the ‘integration of’ but the ‘opening up’ of all economies and all productions, services, natural resources, cultural and other sectors to the business operations of expansionary global corporations (Keet 4). The intellectual muscle seeking to open up the authenticity and/or sincerity of the globalisation movement is not remotely our concern in this study.
