dc.description.abstractIt is a known fact that, till date, the discriminatory attitude of the Whites and African religionists on the relationship between God and Africans in general and the Yoruba in particular persists. The notion that Africans (the Yoruba inclusive) have no idea of God persist sin some minds. To such people, Africa, "the dark continent", could not have an idea of God. The introduction of foreign religions (Christian and Islam) has further relegated the African ideas about God to the background. This paper critically examines the notion that Africans, in general, have no idea about God using the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria as its focus. The objective is to clarify further the erroneous notions about the African idea about God using the Yoruba as a reference. Yoru
