Voodoo or Vodou is a mix of African religious traditions, Catholic beliefs and practices, and folk magic. Some Haitians practice it either because it is a part of their family's customs and beliefs, or because it called to them.
Haiti is majority Christian, but many Haitians also practice Voodoo. (It is not common to practice both Christianity and Voodooism)
Haitians practice Catholicism and protestantism. In fact, in Haiti one is free to practice any religion one feels appealing. Some Haitians practice voodoo, but not openly. I would like to demystify the thoughts that all Haitians practice voodoo. That is not true at all. Just because some people believe in superstition does not mean they practice voodoo.
I am sure there are people in Panama that do practice Voudo/Voodoo.
The population of Haiti is 8,924,553(2008 estimation). more than half of the population practices it.

No just about all Nigerians don't practice voodoo should no because I'm Nigerian and only a small percentage in west Africa practice it. But about 9 million people in Haiti practice voodoo.
Some of them do, yes.
of course not
While voodoo dolls are often seen as an ancient ritual to some, there are still cultures that practice the use of dolls. In Haiti, people who practice with voodoo dolls are called "vodouists." In the United States there is still some voodoo culture in the south, such as Lousiana.
Grandmothers are just other people. Like all people, there are some who practice voodoo and many who do not. It depends on their culture, how they grew up and what they choose to do.
voodooists practice vodoo. people who are serious about voodoo (I mean very serious) are called serviteurs.
Voodoo/Voudo/Voudun is a fascinating and beautiful faith and practice. It deserves great respect and reverence.
