This study examines kingship and chieftaincy issues in Orile-Igbon and Ibadan with a view to enunciating emergent challenges in Yoruba kingship culture. It explains the Yoruba perspective on kingship, using socio-historical and anthropological methods of data collection. The analyses are done qualitatively; the study explains the epistemology of the Yoruba kingship system as a culture that has been overwhelmed by a westernized structure which created issues of contestation that challenge Yoruba kingship as an institution. The article seeks to contribute to kingship scholarship in particular and to research in the humanities in general.

The informal economy has remained a major part of the Sub-Saharan African economic systems. Critical to this are market place transactions where people meet to purchase and sell wares. Due to the socio-cultural, geographic and economic infrastructures of many traditional African societies, goods to be sold and purchased are transported from one location to another for various purposes. The head porters (alabaru) are thus needed to transport market goods and wares particularly since the African urban market spaces are mostly un-motor able and heavily congested, and the adoption of related technologies is mostly traditionally and culturally determined. Also, against the backdrop of huge unemployment, especially of women, in Nigeria and Africa, head porterage has become and remained an important leeway. Unfortunately, head porterage is poorly studied in scholarly literature. Through comprehensive qualitative data collection and analysis, this article explores head porterage in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Colonial cities in the Africa of the twentieth century witnessed political and economic changes that aided infrastructural development. The First and Second World Wars also played significant roles in the social, political, and economic changes that occurred before the 1950s. Ibadan, a Yoruba city in south-west Nigeria, was greatly influenced by British colonialism. In the making of the city, several personalities contributed to its growth and development. Therefore, this paper examines the role of a World War veteran in the making of Ibadan city. The work analyses how one war veteran, Chief Thomas Adeogun Ojo (known as Ojo’Badan), contributed to social, political, and economic developments in colonial Ibadan. The work adopts the historical method by using the life and times of Ojo’Badan to explore changes in Ibadan city. Oral interviews, archival materials, books, and journals were used.
