ABSTRACT
This research work examined the intricate and multifaceted impact of colonialism on African personality. Through a meticulous examination of historical records, oral histories, and scholarly sources, it uncovered nuanced insights that shed light on the enduring effects of colonialism on the psyche of African individuals and communities. The research has contributed significantly to the existing literature on this subject by presenting a comprehensive analysis that bridges gaps in understanding. We have underscored the long-lasting repercussions of colonialism on identity, cultural heritage, and socio-economic disparities within African societies. Moreover, this project shed light on the resilience and agency of Africans in the face of colonial oppression, emphasizing the importance of a multifaceted approach to comprehending the effects of colonialism on their identity. In sum, this work added a fresh perspective to the discourse on colonialism's influence on African personality, deepening our grasp of the lasting consequences while highlighting the resilience and adaptability of African societies in their quest for self-determination. Edward Blyden is credited with coining the term "African personality" when he evaluated Majola Agbebi's contribution to the establishment of what was thought to be Nigeria's first native African church. In addition, the study looked at pre-colonial African nations' cultural and social environments, considering the perspectives of Solomon Tshekisho and Chinua Achebe.
