Do You Believe in Juju? - Uncultured

What this episode covers

A crisp 500 naira note on the floor could either mean free money or a new life as a goat. On this episode, host Olamide challenges our superstitions to a face-off with facts. Juju is the colloquial catch-all for the occult but also a synonym for indigenous spirituality. Joined by writer and author of the Afrireligions blog Martha Laraba Sambe, the two crawl through our criminal underbelly, traverse colonial canyons, and climb the fiery mountains of the Pentecost to demystify juju’s reputation as an African villain origin story. Listen as they re-tell our lore without the gaze of the wild wild West. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
