This book’s 15 lessons, designed with the beginning student in mind, are ideal for both classroom use and self-study. Each opens with a dialogue about an everyday topic, which is then broken down for the study of grammar and vocabulary. Cultural notes give the material its proper context, and exercises reinforce the student’s mastery of the lesson. The accompanying audio (available for free download) further complements the lesson material by helping the student learn the language as spoken. Beginner’s Yoruba also includes information on the various aspects of Yoruba culture, including religion, songs and folklore.

Wealth of the Yoruba People suggests that, contrary to popular opinion, African people are capable of building wealth without external influences. However, for this to happen, freedom must be granted to all individuals and all ethnic-nations to use their own resources as they see fit. African governments, in their efforts to be all things to all people, often stiffle the creative abilities of the citizens. They therefore constitute the major stumbling block to African development. The book uses previous efforts by Yoruba people for example and suggests ways for this ethnic-nation to recapture its former glory.
