About this audiobook
The Roots of the Crown: Oduduwa and the Children of Destiny is a powerful retelling of the origin and legacy of the Yoruba people. Through rich storytelling and vivid emotion, it traces the divine arrival of Oduduwa, the rise of his son Okanbi, and the epic journeys of Oranmiyan and his descendants who built kingdoms across the land. Each chapter reveals not just history, but the spirit of unity, courage, and wisdom that continues to shape generations. This is more than a story of kings, it is the heartbeat of a people who remember their roots and carry the crown of destiny in their souls.
