Africa is confronted with challenges of social unrest such that many years after independence of most African nations much has not changed in the socio-humanistic experiences of Africa and Africans. The importation of some extraneous ideologies and institutional interventions on Africa to serve as solutions has successfully failed. This perhaps accentuates the irrelevance of imposing certain western categories on African problems. But this confirms the wisdom that "our philosophy must find its weapons in the environment and living conditions of the African people". African culture and identity is therefore relevant in fashioning a solution(s) to African problems. One of such solutions is African Humanism which is an important constituent of African culture. The paper employs the analytic and critical methods of philosophy to show the richness and the dynamics of African Humanism in minimizing the challenges of social unrest and enhancing the general human well-being of Africans. African Humanism expresses strong distaste for extreme individualism, unnecessary competitions and personal enrichment that characterize governance in the continent of Africa. African Humanism also favors a community-based society which amplifies the virtues of social well-being and solidarity which is conducive for social justice. With its theistic ethos, African Humanism brings with it the spiritual dimension that complements and satisfies man�s spiritual needs and helps people treat others as God�s images like themselves. The paper believes that a successful blend of these three aspects of African Humanism will help in the actualization of life�s aspirations both for the individual and the community at large.
