The specific objectives were to examine as starting point, the origin of the Yoruba; to examine the growth and development of the Yoruba in the pre-colonial period; to examine the nature of relations among the Yoruba in the pre-colonial period; to look at the various Yoruba sub-groups and the basis of their relations.
