Marriage among the Yoruba people of Nigeria

This book "Marriage among the Yoruba people of Nigeria: Its challenges and the way forward from the pastoral perspective" is intended to be a basic guide to pastors and all people who wish to be true missionaries either to themselves or to the cultures that surround them. I have divided it into six chapters. The first chapter represents the purpose of the book; the second chapter is about the Yoruba traditional marriage; the third chapter presents the Marriage in the Catholic Church; the fourth chapter discloses the challenges of marriage among the Yorubas; the fifth chapter leads us into a way forward from the pastoral perspective; and the sixth chapter outlines the pastoral recommendations. No doubt this book will assist missionaries, priests, religious and lay faithful to carry out the divine, human and ecclesial task of evangelisation as they continue Christ's saving mission. It is an excellent book that unveils the secrets to live marriage life fully, give hope, and renew confidence and vision to those who are confused and in a state of despair.
