THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS OF VERBAL ARTS IN THE YORB INDIGENOUS HEALTHCARE PRACTICES
The above excerpt present Baraapetu ( ? rnml) as the protagonist who is informed of the malevolent spirits that are unkind to mankind. Baraapetu in this context symbolically represents the entire members of the society who are always informed of the evildoers who usually appear as stumbling blocks to the health of the society. The pristine Baraapetu profeers metaphysical solution through which the powers of those malevolent spirits could be curbed. The contemporary Baraapetu, we mean the living If Priests, herbalists and other indigenous healers, can therefore use the the power to profer solution to the problems of their clients. Through the verbal arts in indigenous healthcare practices, the aspirations of the Yorb society are given priority. Besides good health, the Yorb aspire to be blessed with children that will acquire qualitative and quantitative Western education. The Yorb make their intention/desire known through some of their verbal arts. The following excerpt taken from natal songs gives us a clue: Nbi t’wo?n ?j?gb?n w Ib? lo?mo? mi y lo? Or gb?mo? mi db? o May my destiny confirm my desire. Here, the nursing mother who is the encoder/addresser is appealing to her destiny to make her dream become a reality. In this context, the destiny of the encoder is the decoder/addressee. This aspiration of the above chanter will make some mothers who may be present and ignorant, to be aware of the value of Western education. The song plays a dual role aiding healing (through the psychological effect it gives to them) and creating awareness of the important issues in their immediate environment.Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 [19] 20 21
