Among the Yorùbá and others who speak its language, a significant predicament has persisted since the colonial era and arrival of missionaries. Many people, essentially from the Abrahamic religions, either on purpose or not, have erroneously equated È?ù, an Òrì?à in Yorùbáland with Satan. As Chinua Achebe wisely said, ?Until lions have their own historians, the sons of hunter will always write history to glorify their hunting." It is imperative to clarify that such an equation is fundamentally flawed. Hence, the primary purpose of this book is to discover our Yorùbánity?essence of being a Yoruba; explore and understand the Yorùbá indigenous practices and worldview; discern the person and true essence of È?ù within Yorùbá Indigenous Religion and differentiate its identity from the concept of Satan in the Abrahamic religions.
