Osuagwu, Ndubuisi; Chimakonam, Jonathan Okeke (Calabar School of Philosophy, 2018-01)In this article, we argue that language-based techniques have the capacity to generate original ideas and thus account for progress in any discipline.

Chimakonam, Jonathan Okeke; Egbai, Uti O. (Routledge, 2024)In this paper, we will investigate whether or not the name ‘Africa’ can be seen as a slur. Since the name was given by European exploiters, slavers and colonists, it raises the question of whether such a name should continue ...

Chimakonam, Jonathan Okeke; Agada, Ada (Springer, 2020-12)We note that a political consensus on LGBT rights equating human rights is nowhere in sight in contemporary Nigeria. We rekindle the debate between universalism, as represented by the claim that human rights are the same ...
