The evolution and development of indigenous management theories in Africa have been tremendously affected by Colonialism. This actually accounts for the retarded progress of African management theories and principles. Introduction and infusion of western management literatures and practices have successfully silenced the astonishing management prowess of the pre-colonial Africa. The paper argued for the development of indigenous African management philosophy, which will be rooted in the Africa culture and value system that will bring about the panacea to some unique problems experienced by some African organizations in the continent. It was concluded that the Ubuntu management system that categorically discussed the humaneness, communalism and African patriotism has proven to be a source of comfort and the sterling African culture steeped in hardwork, honesty and team spirit is a starting point for the development of indigenous African management philosophies.
