Abstract

Oral traditions in African history are replete with accounts of avid concern for and actual cultivation of communities built on the foundation of intergenerational solidarity. Africans, in general, believe firmly in the ethos of establishing healthy, inclusive societies in which the community shares very warmly in achievements and challenges as they come. Africans have, therefore, established, maintained, and cherished intergenerational relations fostered by the dependence of the young on the older generations at some point in the lifespan and the dependence of older persons on the young in a reciprocal manner.
