ABSTRACT

No disease has affected contemporary society like the COVID-19 pandemic. The deep penetrative effects of the pandemic on social institutions are problematic and concerning. While studies continue to bourgeon on the impacts and trajectories of the pandemic on countries globally, there is, unfortunately, a dearth of knowledge on the ramifications of the pandemic on Indigenous populations especially in Africa. This chapter examines, and contributes to knowledge on, the experiences of Indigenous Peoples of Ìbàdàn, Nigeria, during the COVID-19 pandemic using an ethnographic approach from a glocal perspective.
