ABSTRACT
This project explores the concept of suicide within the framework of Ibibio ontology, a philosophical tradition deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the Ibibio people of Nigeria. Drawing upon indigenous knowledge and philosophical perspectives, it examines the moral, social, and metaphysical dimensions of suicide within the Ibibio worldview. Central to this exploration is an analysis of the underlying beliefs about life, death, and the interconnectedness of human beings with the spiritual realm in Ibibio culture. The project investigates how suicide is perceived within Ibibio ontology, considering factors such as individual autonomy, communal values, and spiritual consequences. Furthermore, it discusses the ethical implications of suicide and its prevention efforts in light of Ibibio philosophical principles, emphasizing the importance of cultural sensitivity and contextual understanding. By engaging with Ibibio ontology, this study contributes to a broader philosophical discourse on suicide, enriching our understanding of this complex phenomenon from a cross-cultural perspective.
