The culture of a people has been the guiding principle in most African societies for time immemorial. As a total way of life, it has moderated the activities of respective societies in all human endeavors. Culture defines individual identity as a member of an ethnic group, it has been the panacea with which prestige, honesty and integrity was obtained. It has knitted societies together in a manner that the observance of law and order was paramount, respect to elders and constituted authorities along traditional lines was supreme. It has molded the human mind to fear not only local cult systems, but the Devine Being with utmost sanctity. The 21st century marked a turning point in the African belief systems as a result of the high regard youths accorded to modernization. The result of this was the flagrant abuse on African deterrent systems. Heightened by the incursion of modern religions and the Information and Communication Technology, the African youth is on collision course with their heritage.
