Synopsis

For decades, the Ijebu people — one of the most respected and prosperous ethnic groups in Nigeria — have been misunderstood, envied, and falsely accused of building their wealth through rituals or mystical means. In IJEBU: The Empire of Wealth, Wisdom, and World Influence, Mikail Abdulrazaq shatters that myth with historical precision and cultural pride. This groundbreaking book traces the real origins of Ijebu greatness — from the ancient Ijebu Kingdom that stood as a center of civilization before colonialism, to the modern era where Ijebu sons and daughters dominate commerce, education, and philanthropy across the globe. Through detailed storytelling, Abdulrazaq unveils how the Ijebu people mastered trade, embraced education early, upheld strong moral and religious values, and built legacies that shaped Nigeria’s development. The book celebrates the Ijebu spirit — a spirit of discipline, wisdom, enterprise, and silent strategy that transforms ordinary lives into dynasties of excellence. This is not just a defense against misconceptions; it’s a revelation of truth, pride, and identity. The Ijebu are not ritualists — they are reformers, thinkers, builders, and business visionaries. Whether you are a historian, student, or cultural enthusiast, this book offers an enlightening journey into the heart of African brilliance and the real power behind Ijebu success.
