This is The History of Yoruba Land Newsletter, which is primarily focused on recounting a history of the Yoruba peoples and land from their legendary inception in tales of Oduduwa, the semi-mythical founder of the nation, to the incorporation of the nation into the century British protectorate of Nigeria in the early 20th century, the involvement of its peoples in agitating for the liberation and independence of not just the nation, but the country as a whole, before finally touching upon its continued influence over the development of the country to the modern era
