I just caught on to the proposed (now aborted) "Witchcraft Conference" at UNN. I know both Profs P-J Ezeh (taught me) and Opata (a luminary of indigenous African history). Regrettably, a whole lot could have been taken away from such conference, viewed objectively. But, no...

CAN (at least the daft ones among them) just had to remind the world how a federal university is the "property of the church." I hope this conference holds in, say, Ghana (who are a bit more secular with their institutions). We keep channelling our energies to where they are...

Least needed! Now they've gone and tweaked the theme to sth on "Human Behaviour..." yada, yada, yada. I remembered studying (under Prof Ezeh) S.F Marek's "WITCHCRAFT IN FOUR AFRICAN SOCIETIES: AN ESSAY IN COMPARISON." Pure ethnology! Still a classic today...once saw it in Rev Dr

Adibe's (of the Religion Dept. Wonder if he's still there?) car amongst other ethnorelative books. Anyways @_CharlesUche, I found these yesterday.

Prof Damian Opata will be fuming sha...can't wait to read his rebuttal on CAN.
