Introduction
RX350_Navi_U (L/O 0601) Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual in your vehicle at all times. The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle accessories ever developed. The system receives satellite sig- nals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Using these signals and other vehicle sen- sors, the system indicates your present position and assists in locating a desired destination. The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. The system is also designed to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The system uses DENSO maps. The calculated routes may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowl- edge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calculated routes. The navigation system’s database includes about 75 Point of Interest categories to allow you to easily select destinations such as restaurants and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the system will guide you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The au- dio instructions will announce the distance remaining and the direction to turn in approaching an intersection. These voice instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are timed to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.

CHANGE AND ADAPTATION IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR OF OSUN DIVISION, WESTERN NIGERIA, 1900-1960 By Abiodun AJAYI B.A., M.A. (Ife) Matric. No: 142176 A research thesis Submitted to the Department of History, University of Ibadan in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN Department of History University of Ibadan Ibadan APRIL, 2014 i ABSTRACT The advent of colonialism in Osun Division occasioned changes which impacted greatly on the commercial sector of the division. This is well attested by the remarkable adaptation of the sector to the changes. Issues relating to change and adaptation in the commercial sector have been neglected by the available studies on Osun Division. This study, therefore, examined change and adaptation in the commercial sector of Osun Division in the areas of transportation, currency, banking and entrepreneurship between 1900 and 1960 with a view to ascertaining how the colonial innovations were integrated into the Yoruba commercial practices. This study adopted the historical approach. Oral interviews were conducted with 30 purposively selected key informants. They comprised kings and chiefs, former railway officials and passengers, artisans and traders whose ages ranged from 68 to 120 years. Interviews were carried out in major towns of Osogbo, Ikirun, Inisa, Okuku, Ejigbo, Ogbomoso, Gbongan, Ede and Iwo. Archival materials were derived from the National Archives, Ibadan and Sopolu Library, Ikenne. These included Colonial Secretary’s Office papers, Government gazettes together with annual and intelligence reports. Town Series and maps were collected from relevant government ministries in Osogbo and Ibadan.

The Lore of Religious Festivals Among the Yoruba and Its Social Relevance
LUMINA, Vol. 22, No.2, ISSN 2094-1188 THE LORE OF RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS AMONG THE YORUBA AND ITS SOCIAL RELEVANCE Olatundun Abosede Oderinde Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye [email protected] Abstract Religious practices, ceremonies and festivals are part of folk heritage. They are essential materials in culture that circulate traditionally among members of any group in different versions. Festivals are occasion of public manifestation of joy or the celebration of a historical occurrence such as the role of Olumo rock in the victory of the Egbas. Culture and information about a particular community are often being transmitted through the songs, music and other activities that go with the festivals. The traditional festivals today are to a large extent seen by some as idol worship because of the deities associated with the festivals while some elites see the festivals as occasions that promote vices such as stealing, fighting, immorality, casting spell (by trying newly discovered charms/juju) on people. Hence many educated (Christians and Muslims) would not participate in these festivals. The festivals however are still very relevant as they provide a rallying point for people in a particular society, create cultural awareness and avenue of getting a practical experience of the people’s customs, their way of life and their belief systems. The paper is, thus, an attempt to bring to fore the social significance of religious festivals. (Key Words:Religious Practices, Ceremonies, Folk Heritage, Festivals, Culture). INTRODUCTION The Yoruba traditional society is a corporate and religious society. Ogungbile (1998: 125) identifies two major forms of identity in Nigeria-religious identity and ethnic identity.

The majority of the Yoruba speak the Yoruba language (Yoruba: èdèe Yorùbá; èdè). The Yoruba constitute between 30 and 50 million individuals[1] throughout West Africa and are found predominantly in Nigeria and make up around 21% of its population.[2] The Yoruba share borders with the Borgu (variously called "Baruba" and "Borgawa") in the northwest; the Nupe (whom they often call "Tapa") and Ebira in the north; and the Edo, the Ẹsan, and the Afemai to the southeast. The Igala and other related groups are found in the northeast, and the Egun, Fon, and others in the southwest. The Itsekiri who live in the north-west Niger delta, are closely related to the Yoruba but maintain a distinct cultural identity. While the majority of the Yoruba live in western Nigeria, there are also substantial indigenous Yoruba communities in the Republic of Benin and Togo, plus large groups of Yoruba migrants living in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Factsheet: the SANTERÍA TRADITION in CUBA: February 2021 2 Their Social Media Accounts and Used Them to Spread Government Co-Opting of Santería Smear Campaigns
UNITED STATES COMMISSION on INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FACTSHEET February 2021 SANTERÍA IN CUBA Gayle Manchin The Santería Tradition in Cuba Chair Tony Perkins By Kirsten Lavery, Supervisory Policy Analyst Vice Chair Anurima Bhargava Vice Chair Introduction This factsheet highlights the Santería practice in Cuba, providing an overview of Commissioners this tradition and detailing the religious freedom conditions of its practitioners. Gary Bauer Santería is a syncretic religion based significantly in the traditions of the Yoruba and incorporating elements of Catholicism. Today, roughly 70 percent of Cubans observe James W. Carr one or more Santeria or other religious practices based in an African tradition. Frederick A. Davie Elements of Santería and its African roots permeate Cuban culture, including by Nadine Maenza influencing Cuban art, food, music, and dance. Johnnie Moore Many Cubans can openly and freely practice Santería, including when interwoven with Nury Turkel Catholicism. However, some Santería practitioners and religious leaders, especially those who are part of unregistered and independent communities, have experienced ongoing violations of religious freedom, including harassment, detainment, and Erin D. Singshinsuk Executive Director repeated attempts by the government to co-opt their religion. While this factsheet is focused on the Santería community, the Cuban government’s treatment of independent Santería practitioners and the impact of restrictive laws and policies on the Santería community’s enjoyment of the freedom of religion or belief is illustrative USCIRF’s Mission of broader religious freedom conditions in Cuba. Background To advance international Afro-Cuban religions have long been an integral part of Cuban society.
