Review Quotes

This book discusses one of the dominant themes in Yoruba intra-ethnic conflicts of the nineteenth century Yorubaland which has been glossed over in literature. Offa and Erinle in Kwara State of Nigeria are major actors in intra-ethnic conflict for an unusual prolonged period, which has made it a topic of interest in academic discussion. Intractable Intra-Ethnic Conflicts: The Case Study Of The Offa-Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria has bridged the gap in our knowledge of the history of Kwara State, especially in the revolutionary century. The book is highly valuable to studies in different sphere of knowledge. I highly recommend it.
