dc.description.abstractWith the enhancement of information and communication technology, science and society has begun to accept that "indigenous knowledge and indigenous knowledge systems are blending with the modern scientific and technical knowledge" (Jain & Jibril, 2016:2). More and more, indigenous knowledge is becoming significant world-wide. The continued existence of every culture, depends on its folklores, legends, customs, rituals, beliefs the knowledge that supports this needs to be preserved for future generations. For this reason, the capturing and preservation of indigenous knowledge is definitely essential for the preservation of the local communities and their identity, which is strongly related to their culture and development of Africa as a whole.
