Abstract
A Socio-linguistics text records the cultural credentials, artifacts, icons, myths, history, and nuances etc of a particular society of their focus. The reason been to decolonize the particular society from the much acclaimed foreign values spelt out in western religion and western culture. The African performer, the example of Isiaka Aliagan negates these values and go on to accentuate his own native values and aesthetics. It does this through the accentuation of the sensitive part serving as the roots of the African Man what Aliagan is saying for instance is that a society in this portrayal the Ilorin environs and aesthetics sensibilities cannot be ruled out in the face of modernity that Man can only be acculturated through the intuitive knowledge he has gained from his background. Hence, it is only cultural hybridization that can make Man adjust to nutrient and this point acclaims the dynamic essence of culture. A legendary replay of the personality of Oba Mama is to show case his might and importance among the people of his society. Oba Mama is symbolic of the struggle of his people against new forms of livelihood that has come to disturb their salient peace security and stability. Part of the discovery in this write up is that Aliagan`s Oba Mama can best be approached via the socio-linguistic approach of the Literature. This approach exposes the societal language composition as historical reflections of Ilorin geographical setting.
