This book was released on 1994 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the origins of the Tiv, their sociological set-up and culture, migrations and dispersals, and what the Tiv people have contributed to Nigeria. More specifically it outlines social and political cultures of the Tiv, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the era of Tor Agbande, the Chamba wars, and the great dispersals in the Benue plains. It analyses the era of British chiefs until 1950, the impacts of the missionaries, and the subsequent so-called eras of politics. The author sets out the system of government amongst the Tiv prior to British conquest, and shows how this suffered dramatic dislocation once the Tiv were subjected to alien rule.

Download or read book The Tiv and Their Southern Neighbours 1890 1990 written by Emmanuel Chiahemba Ayangaor and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic, political and socio-cultural relations of the Tiv people of Benue State with their southern neighbours. In pre-colonial times, the Tiv, needing additional farm lands, began displacing their southern neighbours and settling on their farms. In retaliation, teams of Ogirinya headhunters targeted lone Tiv women and farmers. The Tiv's answer to this loss of life was to adopt Ogirinya themselves, and clandestine mutual headhunting then became a standing blood feud that escaped the notice of the colonial administration for years. During an official inquiry into the causes of the 1985 Tsar-Obudu War, both parties confessed that Ogirinya was the main cause of their inter-ethnic wars. Once the leaders of the neighbouring local government areas agreed to ban Ogirinya and to set up a joint monitoring committee, peace returned to the borderlands. In addition to the conflicts, Ayangaor also covers the intermarriages, friendships, pacts, and palm wine drinking orgies of these interdependent peoples. This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin.

Download or read book The Yoruba written by Akinwumi Ogundiran and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yoruba: A New History is the first transdisciplinary study of the two-thousand-year journey of the Yoruba people, from their origins in a small corner of the Niger-Benue Confluence in present-day Nigeria to becoming one of the most populous cultural groups on the African continent. Weaving together archaeology with linguistics, environmental science with oral traditions, and material culture with mythology, Ogundiran examines the local, regional, and even global dimensions of Yoruba history. The Yoruba: A New History offers an intriguing cultural, political, economic, intellectual, and social history from ca. 300 BC to 1840. It accounts for the events, peoples, and practices, as well as the theories of knowledge, ways of being, and social valuations that shaped the Yoruba experience at different junctures of time. The result is a new framework for understanding the Yoruba past and present.
