ÀKÀNLÒ ÈDÈ: 30 IDIOMS FROM THE GROVE

Just as the use of hieroglyphs "àrokò" is to deliver messages, though cryptic, the Yorùbá elders hold firm the belief that not every statement is meant to be put out in its naked form. Àkànlò èdè is always the go-to deployment to uphold this code of secrecy, euphemism and modesty.

While there are so many àkànlò èdè that cannot be exhausted in one collection, it is my hope that this book gets to serve its purpose. And that as you read over and over, you will get to receive thorough values and be impacted greatly, so greatly that you begin to appreciate the Yorùbá language for its unmatched beauty and literature.
