Download or read book The Spread of Christianity in Yorubaland of Nigeria written by Taofeek Muhammed Thani and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is both historical and analytical and examines the recent development of missionary activities and its impact on the Muslims in Yorubaland. It traces the origin of Christianity in Nigeria and identifies some salient factors that may have triggered the spread of Christian influence in Yorubaland and highlights the roles played by mainstream churches to complement the efforts of missionary activities: it shows that churches, schools, health centers and chapels were built around towns and cities to further facilitate the process of evangelization. The findings show that Christianity has become more integrated into the Nigerian society and has impacted greatly on the local culture. This is facilitated by the introduction of a new way of life which includes western education, the romanization of the Yoruba language, modes of dressing and the use of the English language as the medium of communication among other changes. All these would not have been possible had it not been for the collaborative efforts between the missionaries and the colonial masters. Data for this study are drawn from both primary and secondary sources in forms of books, reports, scholarly journals, magazines, and occasional papers, proceedings of relevant conferences, newspapers and internet sources. Interviews were conducted to complement the qualitative methodology upon which this research is grounded. The research concludes, in view of the findings, by suggesting a constructive resolution of religious disputes and dialogue as a means of establishing a long-lasting peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in the South Western Nigeria.

Download or read book A History of Nigeria written by Toyin Falola and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-24 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and the world's eighth largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant official corruption and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to Nigeria's recent troubles through an exploration of its pre-colonial and colonial past, and its journey from independence to statehood. By examining key themes such as colonialism, religion, slavery, nationalism and the economy, the authors show how Nigeria's history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential.

Download or read book City of 201 Gods written by Jacob Olupona and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author focuses on one of the most important religious centers in Africa: the Yoruba city of Ile-Ife in southwest Nigeria. The spread of Yoruba traditions in the African diaspora has come to define the cultural identity of millions of black and white people in Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, and the United States. He describes how the city went from great prominence to near obliteration and then rose again as a contemporary city of gods. Throughout, he corroborates the indispensable linkages between religion, cosmology, migration, and kinship as espoused in the power of royal lineages, hegemonic state structure, gender, and the Yoruba sense of place.

Download or read book The Nigerian Nation and Religion written by Hyacinth Kalu and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which is the first of a-three-volume series of interfaith relationships in Nigeria, presents Nigeria as a multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation, with religion controlling almost every aspects of life. It highlights the deep-rooted religious divide in Nigeria and looks into various ways that we can move beyond the religious bitterness existing among the three dominant religions in Nigeria: African traditional religion, Islam, and Christianity, and live, work and co-exit peacefully with one another as sisters and brothers. Although this volume begins with the history of Nigeria as nation, its primary interest, and indeed, the interest of the entire series, is not with the politics, economics, and culture of the Nigerian people per se; its primary focus is the religion of the people. Hence, it is a study of African Traditional Religion, Islam, and Christianity in Nigeria. The focus is not the theological and dogmatic principles and faith life of these religions, nor the individual and various sects within these religions; rather these religions are studied from the standpoint of interfaith encounter and relationships, as a requisite for peace, unity and harmony in Nigeria.

Borgu was just one of the affected areas, dived by the French and British in 1894 and 1898. Now independent after years of British rule, the Nigerian Borgu is here examined in thorough detail, from earliest times to now.
