A Nigerian Family on the Web.
This site was last updated on Saturday August 13, 2005
This site is about the Nigerian cultures seen through the eyes of a Nigerian family - the Oloruntoba family resident in Ilorin, Kwara State of Nigeria. The State is fondly called the "State of Harmony" and the town of Ilorin is the "Gateway" between the North and the South of the country. We are interested in the agriculture, arts, family norms, lifestyles, folklores, geography, history, and home making in different cultures around the world and to relate these to the Nigerian cultures. |
We want people and families in other lands, who are interested in these values, to visit us regularly so that we can learn from each other. We believe that the understanding of the way of life of peoples around the world is one good way to preserve world peace. On these web pages, you'll find much of value in the Nigerian Cultures as you read about the Oloruntoba Family.
