Traditional medicine (TM) or native medicine is an essential aspect of the rich cultural heritage across the globe that has survived many generations, focusing on the indigenous way of preventing, diagnosing and managing diseases.

It's also gaining traction in other African countries. But the World Health Organization has warned it must be tested for efficacy and adverse side effects.

His enemies convulses like a frigging zombies slavering whitish froth.  Or when some lover runs haywire after being confronted by the news of the demise of his sweetheart from a fatal automobile accident. Or yet again, a scene portraying how a high priest plays the village Detective role to get to the root of a crime. He fishes out the culprit through his uncanny ‘unorthodox’ methods.
