PROGRAMME SIX
To the older
writers from Europe, the traditional healer is “a Witch doctor,” and even to
most Nigerian Western medical doctors, his practice is still viewed as
unscientific and unacceptable.
The
programme lays bare the traditional concept of health care as it operates on
the physical, social and spiritual levels. It embraces in this field the
ancient arts of divination and illustrates the basic similarities in the
concept and methods of Traditional Healing systems. It also examines how
various levels of the society – rural, urban literate, illiterate, Christian,
Muslim – relate to traditional healing and what impact foreign cultures and
modernity have exerted on it, in different Nigerian Cultures.
