The plight of citizens being victims of violence, politicking, power tussle, inconsistent government policies, and approaches to resolving the protracted conflict between Offa and Erinle (also known as Erin-Ile) from independence to now defines and explains the intractability between these two groups. Understanding Protraction and the Intractability of Conflicts: The Case of Offa and Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria, by Yakub Jide Yahaya, examines a sensitive and problematic socio-cultural aspect of intra-ethnic conflicts where two promising communities have ignored trade development and urbanization and settled for pettiness and violence. The book searches into the unique area of intra-ethnic conflicts while providing a background for understanding this conflict, highlighting the nuances ignored in the discussion. Above all, it highlights the underlying issues called 'land conflict' across Nigeria and Africa.

This book discusses one of the dominant themes in Yoruba intra-ethnic conflicts of the nineteenth century Yorubaland which has been glossed over in literature. Offa and Erinle in Kwara State of Nigeria are major actors in intra-ethnic conflict for an unusual prolonged period, which has made it a topic of interest in academic discussion. Intractable Intra-Ethnic Conflicts: The Case Study Of The Offa-Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria has bridged the gap in our knowledge of the history of Kwara State, especially in the revolutionary century. The book is highly valuable to studies in different sphere of knowledge. I highly recommend it.
