Abstract:
There are existing traditions which teach that the Yorubas and their culture originate independently or from Egypt or from Israel or from Mecca or even from Etruscan sources. Many scholars and contemporary Yorubas have accepted the Egyptian thesis for Yoruba origins as true because there are many aspects of the culture of the ancient Egyptians that are similar to Yoruba culture. The question arises: what are the cultural aspects that are similar or different between the Yorubas and the Egyptians, or the Israelites, or the Arabians, or the Etruscans? How can the study of these foreign cultures

Abstract:
Culture and leadership research in the last decade witnessed a general upsurge. Empirical studies that determined the scores of the subgroup cultures and examined leadership styles and preferences in Nigeria, have not been exhaustively carried out. This study therefore examined subgroup cultures and leadership styles in Nigerian organizations. Due to the structure of most Nigerian public organizations which are characterized by multi-ethnic groups with heterogeneous cultural beliefs, this study examined the differences in the Hofstede’s culture dimensions’ scores, leadership styles and prefere

Abstract:
This study evaluates the religio-ethical implications of name change among the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria. The Yoruba culture places significant value on names, which are believed to influence an individual's destiny and character. However, the increasing trend of name change among Yorubas raises important questions about the religio-ethical dimensions of this practice. This qualitative study employed a multidisciplinary approach, combining anthropological, sociological, and theological methods. Data were collected semi-structured interview. This study is grounded in the theory of c

Abstract:
Before Islam and Christianity religions came to Yoruba land, a typical Yorùbá man always earned respect, honour, and always acclaimed to be a rich man by the number of wives he married in his home. Polygyny then, to a larger extent was popularly practiced among the Africans especially the Yorùbá people. This paper discusses the crisis that always bewilders a polygynous family especially among the Yoruba people whose culture and tradition embrace Polygyny.

This paper delves into the hidden cultural and symbolic significance of Yoruba traditional headdresses, exploring their multifaceted roles within spirituality, social identity, and everyday life. Headdresses such as gele and fila are not only symbols of status, but also spiritual tools that connect the wearer to the divine and their ancestral heritage. Specific headdresses are associated with different Ori?a and carry unique meanings particularly in the areas for healing, protection, and spiritual alignment. In addition to their spiritual, cultural and symbolic significance, headdresses play a

Abstract:
Travel writing criticism has sometimes suggested that little travel writing has been produced by Africans. This thesis shows that this is not the case, through a literary study of writing about travel published in Yoruba-speaking southwestern Nigeria between 1914 and 2014. This is a study of writing about domestic travel – Nigerians travelling within Nigeria – and of both Yoruba- and English-language texts. It is both a study of conventional ‘travel writing’ such as first-person travelogues, and of the motif of travel in writing more broadly: it encompasses serialised newspaper columns, histor

AbstractThis chapter draws on a detailed transgenerational case study, the story of ‘Masimbo’, which involves migration, to highlight the conceptualisation and journey of mental illness within an African cultural perspective. In Masimbo’s story, African understandings of mental disorder are side-lined by Western approaches with untoward consequences for him and his family. The implication that is drawn from this, however, is not that African perspectives should replace Western approaches but rather that they should be used together.

Abstract:
Nigeria is a heterogeneous country that comprises about 450 ethnolinguistic speech communities. These are divided into thirty-six states and three major linguistic groups: Hausa in the North, Yoruba in the West and Igbo in the East. Due to its ethnic diversity, cross-cultural contacts with the Trans-Saharan trade of the 8th century as well as colonization, the Nigerian naming system received an impetus of assimilating lots of foreign words into its lexicon. This study considers such multicultural names with the aim of unearthing their sociolinguistic imports.
