The nineteenth century was a revolutionary period in Yorùbá history, producing great social changes that we are still trying to understand. The historical transformations that were to have this huge impact were documented by historian B. Agiri among others. They include: First, the disintegration of the old Ọ̀yọ́ Empire and the emergence of a new political order; second, the collapse of the maritime slave trade and the growth of new exports,... the arrival of Christian missionaries and the establishment of the British at Lagos, followed by the spread of British influence inland. For the average Yorùbá citizen, it was a century of confusion and chaos when the old traditions were questioned. Some customs were modified, while others were reinforced or discarded. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
