Superstition in Nigeria
Superstition in Nigeria plays a significant role in the Nigerian society.[1][2][3][4]
Some aspects of superstition result in discrimination against vulnerable groups in Nigeria. Many people in Nigeria still believe in witchcraft, with many victims being children.[1][5] Other negatively affected groups include people with disabilities[6][7] and women.[8][9]
Superstions in Nigeria can also affect aspects of Nigerian economy,[10] such as farming (ex. duck raising).[11]
