AFRICAN TIME: A POSITIVE VALUE

Abstract

African time is perceived as cultural tendency in parts of Africa towards a more relaxed attitude to time. This paper examines the notion of African time. The paper observed that African time as perceived by many is more or less pejorative and a misnomer, since African does not operate a timescale different from the rest of humanity. However African time should speak of quality time. Time in Africa should not be synonymous with tardiness. This paper is of the view that time with respect to Africa, should be treated with every sense of dignity. There is need to expose this view  the more with every sense of dignity to Africa as a positive value and what it stand for. This write up emphatically states that African time is indeed a quality time.
