Looks at the events of Births and Deaths among Nigerian groups and how almost without exception such events spell a series of rites and ceremonies they themselves emphasize the communal nature of our existence. The event that marks births and deaths are strong factors of our sociability and evidence of our interdependence. The programme also examines in different Nigerian cultures the social implications of both occurrences, as well as the impact that Islam, Christianity and Westernization have had on the enduring, though changing rites and ceremonies that attend the new addition to a family and the passing away of a loved one.
