    About this ebook

    King Oduduwa, the pacifist, the liberalist, the transcendentalist, the thinking thinker, the pioneer of Yoruba folk philosophy, the planter of the seeds of enlightenment and the progenitor of the holy city of Ile-Ife, belongs to the demythologized ancestors/pedigrees. In order to straighten things out, in order to meet Yoruba scions in the six continents of the world, and in order to establish his oracular authority, has resolved to tour the world, Americas and Europe, in particular to confirm that the terracotta artists of the 6BC to 900A are the founders of the Cultural Guilds of Philosophy in Yoruba land. (Reviewed and updated with mints of ideas from the reams of research monographs).
