THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS OF VERBAL ARTS IN THE YORB INDIGENOUS HEALTHCARE PRACTICES

The Yorb society is acquainted with the powers of the unknown through their health-related verbal arts.  Death, disease, and witches are the most dreadful unknown malevolent spirits that usually feature in the Yorb health-related verbal arts.  The verbal arts do prevent the problems that could be caused by the unknown spirits and thereafter convey the message on how the solution(s) could be proffered to mankind.  The following illustration is a good example of such genres:   ?sy awo ay   ?sy awo il? df fn Baraapetu, baba n t’k?l ?run b? w  s’k?l ay. pd wo?n gbgb Olf? l?n.  W?n nbo l n lo?.

Ifa divination was performed for Baraapetu,  old man was coming from heavenly k ? l to k ? l  earth.  He met the elderly men of Olf ? on his way.  They asked where he was going.  The old man said he  was going to earthly Ikole .  They informed him of the malevolent spirits, who were killing peoples’ offsprings on  earth, just for no reason.  He said it could not happen to him, because:   The household wizards, forgive me   The banana consumers on earth keep eating banana.
