DOWNLOAD EBOOKA TIME OF TROUBLES descends on Yorubaland. Set in motion by the collapse of the old Oyo Empire, a hundred years of discord unfolds. It is a time of mayhem, social upheaval and slave raids as the Yoruba city-states are torn apart by fratricidal war. Warlords such as Oluyole, Ogunmola, Kurunmi and Ogedengbe, with their ‘war-boys,’ achieve power and infamy in their various theaters of war from Owu and Ijaiye to Kiriji. Caught up in the chaos are the author’s forebears, the Warrior from Ife, his son Solesi, the war-boy who came back home from capture and exile, and Baba Mamu who, tiring of war, takes solace in his cocoa farm. The story culminates in the bloody defeat of the Ijebus at Imagbon and the imposition of British rule over Yorubaland.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrisha worshippers who were not subjected to forced migration to the Americas in the nineteenth century remained their own masters, inhabiting cities, towns and farm villages in their West African kingdoms. This study uses documentation from Yoruba writings and from the written record of European missionaries to describe the various facets of their religious life. Arranged in the form of a phenomenology, the work deals with such matters as the veneration of the environment; carved images of the divine; the orisha celebrated in festival, worship and sacrifice; systems of divination; female and male religious specialists; and the protean divinities themselves. The comprehensive use of archival material will ensure the abiding value of this historical picture of the orisha, useful for comparisons with the present day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a proverb in Iboland that says, "When the harvest season ends, it is the time of the year when everybody is at home." The Yam Festival has come to an end, and The New Yam Festival has begun. It is an extraordinary celebration of the harvest season, the culture, and oral traditions of the people who live in the village of Uwaoma. It is also an occasion for giving thanks to all the gods of the land for making the harvest possible. Achuwanike was the first yam farmer in his village to win a yam title at The Yam Festival. Now that the harvest season is over, he is in close communion with his family, relatives, neighbors, friends, and the spirits of the ancestors of the past, present, and future for the next harvest season.
