Abstract
This study focuses on the impact and spirituality of Ori-Oke (mountain prayer) on the socio-cultural life of the people in Ilorin, North-Central Nigeria today. A lot has been written about the origin and missionary engagements with African society and culture and much of the writings expectedly are biased and negative. This study does not dwell on this issue from the point of view of whether what is happening in Ilorin is ethical or unethical; but rather, approaches Ori-Oke, a Christian tradition from the perspective of social change driven by challenges and benefits.
