This book is a painstaking in-depth study of a race, the Ebira, from its earliest times to the period of exit of the colonial governance in what was then known as Ebira Division of Kabba Province. This work is particularly welcomed at this time when after the long neglect of the study of history at primary and secondary schools' level, the Federal Government of Nigeria recently directed the return of the study of the subject to these levels of the country's educational system. This book is recommended to all those interested in the evolution of a modern polity in Nigeria.
