ETHIOPIANISM: A SYMBOL OF LIBERATION THEOLOGY VIS-À-VIS NIGERIAN SITUATION

Abstract

Our efforts in this research work have been geared towards examining the relevance of Ethiopianism in emancipation of the oppressed politically, religiously, and culturally. It is an ideology, which best expressed the union between African philosophy and nationalism with the Bible as a base. Findings showed that Nigeria needed this liberation theology in her contemporary security challenges. The objective of this research work was to present a way forward for Nigeria to handle the insecurity that is threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria. The paper used the word Ethiopianism and liberation theology interchangeably. Methods of approach were historical and phenomenological approaches.
