yoruba

Stephan Palmie's work on the globalization of yoruban culture, the adaptation and creation of the word itself takes the reader deeper into the lives of its creators. becoming yoruba seems completely religious and the article talks about the christianization of the nigeria. samuel johnson the pioneer of the word yoruba was not yoruban himself because he was born in sierra leone, and his parents were turned into christians there. he returned to "yorubanland" in 1858 where he wrote a book(45). this place is now known as nigeria, when johnson was alive it had not been named nigeria yet. 

through religion and preaching he is today known as a hero in nigeria.
