| dc.description.abstract | This article draws attention to the devastating impact of global wanning African indigenous religion. It x-rays how global wanning has led to the extinction of time honoured medicinal plants and herbs, and species of animals and fishes considered essential in traditional rituals and medicine. It further argues that global wanning has also introduced a variety of new diseases, which the generality of African traditional medicine practitioners are finding increasingly difficult to grapple with. This, as the paper observes, has opened a new window of challenge to traditional medicine men, diviners, herbalists and a host of other specialists who are saddled with the responsibility of predicting, explaining and controlling our space world. | en_US |
