Modern scholarship on African development has generally engaged the important role of African traditional religions in the construct of human flourishing and development. However, these different studies have largely ignored the specific contributions of traditional “therapeutic topography” of fertility shrines, bone-setting clinics, and pediatric hospitals. Engaging this “therapeutic geography” in conversation with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the chapter interrogates the contemporary roles of these traditional African therapeutic sites in the development of communities in northern Nigeria. Historically, these traditional therapeutic sites have socially promoted and culturally engineered human flourishing to both Christian and Muslim communities of this particular region. In this regard, the chapter deploys an ethnographical method in underscoring the vital contributions of African healing spaces to the well-being and wellness of communities in the renewed context of violence and instability which have now characterized northern Nigeria. As the “poverty capital” of the world and the horrifying theater of violence, northern Nigeria provides a strategic stage for the social experimentation between the Sustainable Development Goals and the dynamics of religious communities in the construct of wellness and human flourishing.
