Decent narration.
Informative, would be immensely improved by using a speaker who can authentically pronounce the people names and places.

Good read
As a non Yoruba was great to hear about Yoruba history only downside would have been to have someone who read it who could pronounce the names properly as i had to cross reference with my Yoruba friends for clarification.
Good read either way
