Human Growth and Development / Unit 17   HGD 2420 short lesson, about 20 seconds

No Single National View

Captions available

The idea

In Nigeria, Christian, Muslim and ancestral traditions coexist and sometimes conflict over death, from its causes to widows' inheritance.

In practice

One family explaining a death as God's will, another as witchcraft, in the same town.

Where people slip

A person's origin is no substitute for knowing the person; there is no single national view of death.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
