The progression of the native African management philosophies and its effectuation in Black Africa has been grossly in remission and adulterated by Western management ideas. Management philosophies alien to Africa is generally unsuccessful in achieving determinable objectives for Africa as they undervalued African work beliefs and communal environment in management practices. This paper reviewed the management styles peculiar to Africa and Nigeria in particular with a view of ingraining an endemic African management philosophy and praxis as a more efficient model, founded on indigenous beliefs system, ethos and theories. The review appraised the proficiency of afro-management ideas in Nigeria for organisational stability.
