| 1 | ADULTERY AS A THREAT TO PROGRESSIVE STRUCTURES, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STABILITY IN YORÙBÁ SOCIETY |
Abstract This work focuses on the manifestation of adultery which has been a limitation to the progressive social structure and the economic stability in Yorùbá society. It is established in this study, as a general belief in Yorùbá society, that any person found of perpetual irrational love for women is regarded as a fanatic of Ìyámọ̀pó (praise poetry). Hence, this study analysed some of the Yorùbá wise sayings about irrational sex abuse against females which their male counterparts enact. Then, the study employed both social-historical and hermeneutic analyses. The study eventually concluded that adultery is not only a death trap but also an impediment to peace, unity, love, economic and political stability in the society. | Aransi A.
