dc.description.abstractThe value attached to Yoruba (Panegyrics) is waning in our contemporary society. Despite the efforts towards stemming the tide, the problem persists. The use of (Panegyrics)is multifarious, one of which is its use to trace the origin of an individual. The (Panegyrics)of Alaafin is dynamic in so many ways. It is in this view that this work seeks to explore the historical angle of the P O ‟s (Panegyrics)can be used to tell the history of successive Aláàfins. Further to this study is the effort made to look at the linguistic features of this (Panegyrics), which makes it unique among other (Panegyrics)available in the literature. This paper observes that (Panegyrics)Alaafin is a master key to the secret room of an Alaafin because chanters and listeners can know about the history and strength of an Alaafin. With this traditional relevance, it is suggested that more importance should be attached to (Panegyrics) in the lesson plan both at primary and post-primary schools so that literature and orature of the Yoruba could be sustained.
