Albert Ellis REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) of 1955 sought to prove that sound rationality aided by a professional psychologist direction could effectively control and checkmate irrational behaviours of people namely anxiety, depression, anger and other negative thoughts among other psychological disorders affecting human behaviours and attitudes. Albert Ellis’ ABCDE paradigm is a behavioural therapy aimed at rescuing someone from the clutches of depression, anxiety and disbelief in oneself, God and others. Giving the fact that Ellis hypothesis was formulated on western culture, it nonetheless cannot deny the intrinsic influence of his Jewish origin and culture. This work therefore tries to adopt Ellis standard to understudy the role of Igbo culture and religion in addressing COVID-19 and COVID-19 and post COVID-19 problems of depression, belief and anxiety in Igbo society. The work is a qualitative research which will use analysis to explain the relationship between rational emotive behaviour therapy, and African/Igbo culture and religion in relation to preventive medicine. The mention of African religion and culture in this piece should not be understood as two different concepts, rather it should be understood as a collary, one explains and supports the other concept effectively. This work is expected to justify African religion and culture in treating negative behaviours and thoughts in the individual person. The end result is the wellbeing of the client and the success of the professional.
