We have dieties in charge of all major creations of God.

And we these deities relied on roots and herbs to treat ailments. “The powers of these deities are still very potent. But we should not look down on them or treat them with disdain. We must turn to all these beautiful gifts of God to solve our health challenges.

My intention is to tell the world that we have trado-medical solutions to all health challenges plaguing mankind and that is what this agreement is all about. “Let us stop discrimination against African medicine and traditional religion. If we all belief in one God, then we should not discriminate. Let’s tolerate ourselves. We should stop discrimination.

We all belong to one God irrespective of our colour. “To ensure workability of the agreement, we have put in place a group comprising trado-medical experts from Nigeria and those from the institute. Through the agreement, we can bring in our traditional medical solutions to solve health challenges here in Brazil,” Ooni concluded.
