About

On the record

My research area is Epistemology and Philosophy of Culture (African, Asian, and Western), and Logic (Aristotelian and Symbolic) My teaching experience started during the National Youth Service where I taught "Physics for Nurses" and "Behavioural Science for Nurses" in Central School of Nursing and Midwifery, Ogoja, Cross River State (1994 - 1995). After my M. A. degree in Philosophy I taught on Part-Time at All Saints Major Seminary, Uhiele, Ekpoma, Edo State. Since 2003, I have been lecturing at the University of Benin, Benin City to date. I have published two books:"Personhood and Epistemic Interactivism in Indigenous Esan Thought: From theories of representation to an African knowledge system"(Peter Lang, UK: https;//peterlang.com/view/title/63034), and "Not Chosen to be a Priest: The life and challenges of the Ex-Seminarian"(SIO Prints, Benin City, Nigeria). I have also published articles in local, national and international journals (some of these articles are online and can be accessed when you google my name). Currently, I am researching on knowledge from the subconscious mind: Intuitions, Dreams, Telepathy and Feelings from African, Asian, and Western cultural perspectives. I am also working on the following books:"African Epistemology","Christian Phenomenology","Epistemology of the Subconscious Mind".
