Abstract

It is obviously very easy to identify many countries of the globe experiencing a very fast growth in technologies, human capital improvement, to mention but a few. The third world countries precisely witness the same trend of modern advancement at their own levels and pace. Nigeria particularly is not kept aside in this trend of modern development. The traditional Igbo society is grossly affected in the face of these modern trends of development. These developmental tendencies have cushioned or motivated the development of this paper. It has been found among other things that modern trends of development in Nigeria have influenced the archaic/traditional institutionalized observances given to crimes and abominations. Certain crimes and abominations have turned to be blue-prints people appreciate or honour in order to simply achieve their quest for worldly or mundane pleasures. These are the problems this paper has been designed to address. For example, it was traditionally a serious offense for a child to pilfer. It was also an abomination for an adult to watch a tethered goat or sheep give birth to kid(s). In the midst of the ugly situation, the paper recommends to mention but a few that various prohibited criminal acts and abominations of various Nigeria traditional societies should be kept at alarm and made known for all and sundry to note them in their lives. The paper adopts historical and evolutionist research approach. Data were secured from primary and secondary sources. Data collected were analyzed with phenomenological method of data analysis.
