An Introduction to the Ibibio of Nigeria primarily describes the Ibibio of South-Eastern Nigeria, their origins, social organization and world-view, their pervasive belief in witchcraft, the role of ancestors and how this belief system underlines every sphere of activity in Ibibioland. It also examines two very formidable traditional associations and their conflict with colonial administration, missionaries and their converts; slavery in Ibibioland and their immediate neighbours; the role of chiefs; conflict resolution in Ibibioland as well as the practice of traditional healing.
