Something miss in pronounciation
This has been an informative narrative on the Yoruba People. The context was balanced and certainly worth reading but I would recommend for Yorubas to read the book rather than the audio. The Narrator tried really hard. But as a speaker of Yoruba I found myself playing catchup because I was rephrasing the words in my head, as Yoruba words are very beautiful when said correctly

Decent narration.
Informative, would be immensely improved by using a speaker who can authentically pronounce the people names and places.

Good read
As a non Yoruba was great to hear about Yoruba history only downside would have been to have someone who read it who could pronounce the names properly as i had to cross reference with my Yoruba friends for clarification.
Good read either way
