This site, www.yorubareligion.org is an academic project of Southampton Institute, Southampton, United Kingdom. The course leader who accepted the title of the project is Mr. Fred Vermorel, the MA Media Course leader. The Supervision was done by Dr. Sandra Miller and Russell Richard. Fiona Western of Southampton Institute also contributed immensely on the technical aspect of the project.
I thank Southampton Institute for accepting my title and aims of this project. I also thank the institute for given me free- hand to go about the project.
My permanent technical partner on this project is Thomas Januskewitz, whom I got to know through my learning adventures in Germany. Immediately I put the idea of this project to him he got it and he started to work with me immediately without any condition. I pray that Olodumare, the Irunmole and our Ancestors would make us to reap abundant blessings from our efforts.
My special thanks also go to Engineer Dele Olawole, who developed the business plan of the project. Engineer Dele Olawole is the CEO of D-Net Communication Services in Norway.
Friends of Yoruba Culture e.V., Ibile Faith Society, Centre for Yoruba Art and Culture, Ostbevern Germany contributed immensely, both moral and financial supports to the success of this project.
My high regards also go to Egbefunnke Oyinlade, Mike Hoyos, Catherine Moore, Maria de Oxala (Oloosaala), Oribami LaTricia, Ebun Melissa Oliver, Helen Harrison and others for their encouragement in the begining of this project.
Iba goes to my father who lived and put me on the ways of Irunmole.
My family did and accepted a lot in order for this project to reach a conclusive end, I thank them.
I pray that this project www.yorubareligion.org would achieve its aim of making Yoruba traditional religion known to the whole world. As the religion is not yet known as world religion, I am sure this project would contribute immensely in its acceptance as one of the major world religions. Ase. Upon the whole, the religion is the first, the beginning, the foundation and the base of mankind. It belongs to all.
