Of course, Chidi could not possibly be referring to the "Witch -Doctor" or the traditional Medicine Man. If what Chidi is saying is that Western-trained African medical doctors are not allowed to prescribe African herbs to patients, " the efficacy of such herbs notwithstanding", then that must be in violation of the very Hippocratic Oath, they have taken, the oath to save lives.
In that case, Chidi has to do something about this. Until or unless Chidi helps to facilitate the birth of the New Pecking Order, it will remain the old pecking order, that is, they will first test the new medicine on the rats, then the monkeys, and then some voluntary or involuntary Africans, and then on the lily-white Hippocratic hypocrites themselves. Perhaps Biko Agozino who is already an unabashed apologist for Mary Jane will begin to write an article or two about criminalizing this practice and decriminalizing the efficacy of the traditional herbalist and his herbs.
Good music: African Herbs
I know how people hear words differently, so, just in case the onomatopoeic poet wants to conflate the pecking order with Peking, here's a list of traditional Chinese medicines
African medical doctors practice on "Hippocratic Oath", meaning that it is "unethical" to prescribe African herbs to patients, the efficacy of such herbs not withstanding. The politics of global vaccines validation have also always denied African oriented drugs approvals.CAO.
