INTRODUCTION
African Traditional religion is the religion of the Africans. It is the culture, identity of the African people. African Traditional religion refers to the indigenous or autochthonous religion of the African people. It deals with their cosmology, ritual practices, symbols, arts, society and so on. Because religion is a way of life, it relates to culture and society and how it affects the world view of the African people (John Mbiti, 10).
Globalization according to Ogechukwu C. Ugbam is the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice-versa (retrieved www.iorjournals.org).
