dc.description.abstractUntil now, the oral art of Ado-Ekiti people in Ekiti State has not received considerable academic attention. The present research work is borne of the strong need to explore a specific art form - the traditional praise poetry among Ado-Ekiti people. The work focuses on the richness and fascinating relations between aesthetic form and content in the traditional praise poetry of Ado-Ekiti people. This enables us to appreciate the aesthetics and intellectual patterning of the art, along with its functional values in society. This thesis therefore discusses the status of Yoruba aesthetics in traditional Ado-Ekiti from a holistic perspective, with emphasis on how culture has impacted positively on their well-being, although there are benefits derived from their status in society. While caution must be exercised in the quest for the foreign culture so that African cultural values can be retained, and thus not destroyed under the guise of civilization. It is in light of this, that research deployed the functionalist criticism in doing justice to praise poetry.en_US
