Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 4.1, , course: History and International Studies, language: English, abstract: This research inquires the forms of relations that existed between the Ebira people of Kogi State and the Owos of Ago-Panu, Owo, Ondo State in the colonial period of 1943-1960.
