Situation in the society warrant members to have value things as good or bad. Man’s efforts in any given situation are geared towards survival. Enu and Esu (2011), noted that values are basic beliefs and attitude in the society whether of individuals or groups which are considered worthwhile and serve as guide to choices and behaviors in our daily lives. Esu (2009), further Defines Values as ideas that guides or qualify your personal conduct, interaction with others and involvement in your carrier. Values help to inform one on how he or she can conduct once life in meaningful way. Different  school of thought therefore consider values to mean trade, practices, acts, ideas, beliefs, attitude and principles that a group a society acknowledge to be of merit, worthwhile, clear, acceptable and right. Values are therefore deep seated believes that influence peoples actions and behaviors. It is therefore essential that every individual, group and indeed the entire nations must have core values which serve as the driving engines for growth and development (NOA, 2009).
