DOWNLOAD EBOOKOsamaro discloses the origin of Arun or sickness, the wife of Death and how they gave birth to all diseases that ravage the earth. He also discloses how the earth, like heaven would have enjoyed eternal immunity from sickness and diseases, were it not for man's insatiable greed for material and political power. The book also reveals the temporariness of the benefits derived from cheating and stealing. Thereafter, it goes into the heavenly and earth experiences of the fifteen Odus of Idi-meji.
The Numeral Systems of Nigerian Languages

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe papers in this collection present the numeral systems of more than twenty Nigerian languages. The papers mainly emanate from a workshop on the numeral systems of Nigerian languages organised by the Linguistic Association of Nigeria during its 23rd Annual Conference which was held at the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The workshop arose from awareness created by Dr. Eugene S.L. Chan on the need for Nigerian linguists to document this severely endangered but very important aspect of natural languages. The quantum of mathematical computations - addition, multiplication, subtraction, or a combination of two or all of these - involved in the numeral systems of Nigerian languages is remarkable. The papers reveal that a variety of numeral systems do exist, such as: binary, decimal, incomplete decimal, duodecimal, quinary, quaternary, ternary, mixed, body-part tally systems, and much more. The book is a resource about how different languages manipulate their numeral systems.

The novelty In this edition, we have added enough illustrations of the important aspects that must stand out in each Odu, with the aim of facilitating the English-speaking Babalawos, who are not very related to these Afro-Cuban dialects, used in Ifá and Osha, may have a clearer idea of the different aspects that are discussed here. To these people, I suggest, that to have a better understanding of these dialects, to be helped by other complementary literatures such as, "Yoruba Vocabulary and Lukumi "and" Food and Adimú for the Santos "both by Marcelo Madan, which will be a very valuable help for the understanding of these terms and languages used regularly in the works and Eboses.
