| Abstract | The plight of citizens being victims of violence, politicking, power tussles, inconsistent government policies, and approaches to resolving the protracted conflict between Offa and Erinie (also known as Erin-lle) from independence to now defines and explains the intractability between these two groups. Understanding and Transforming Intra-Ethnic Conflicts: The Case of the Offa-Erinie, Kwara State, Nigeria, by Yakub J. Yahaya, examines a sensitive and problematic socio-cultural aspect of intra-ethnic conflicts where two promising communities have ignored trade development and urbanization and settled for pettiness and violence. The book delves into the unique area of intra-ethnic conflicts while providing a background for understanding this conflict, highlighting the nuances ignored in the discussion. Above all, it highlights the underlying issues called "land conflicts" across Nigeria and Africa--back cover. |
