The problem that bothers this study is those violence acts that happen within an ethnic group. These violence acts in most cases present themselves in form of wars. Among the Igbo ethnic circle, the Ezillo people and Mgbo people between 2017 and 2018 destroyed lives and properties on issues affecting land. In Anambra State between 1999 and 2002, it was Aguleri, Umuleri and Umuoba and numerous others within Nigeria. The aim of this research is to advocate for utilization of some African ideologies in human lives to avoid intra-ethnic violence. The idea of 'Oguadimma', 'Udoka' et catera should come into play. The research uses historical research method, but data collected were analyzed with sociological style of analysis. The data were collected from primary and secondary materials. The paper recommends that children should be disconnected from viewing any type of display of violent acts either electronical and physical, forums should be created to inculcate good cultural values to the young and old etc.
