Abstract:
There is a grief over the increase in conflicts which have completely proved irresolvable in Igbo land. This study sought to determine the most effective model of Conflict management to mitigate such cases. It therefore, examines the peaceful role of conflict management as typified in Aguleri and Umuleri land conflict in Anambra East of Anambra state, Nigeria. This is with the view to discovering the effectiveness of such models in restoring peace where such had been lost. The study employed the qualitative survey model, where primary instruments like questionnaires were administered on respondents; participant observation and in-depth interviews were also used. Secondary data from books, journals, archives, newspapers, unpublished materials and others were also employed. These were analyzed and result presented in simple descriptive format. It was found out that the increase in these intractable conflicts was due to the fact that the people neglected their indigenous Igbo conflict management models which take care of their cultural peculiarities in conflicts and employed alien western models such as litigation and these could not handle their cases. It is consequently recommended that relevant Igbo traditional strategies for conflict management be revived and interfaced with current western models to form a more efficient model capable of restoring peace where same was missing.
