This is a companion book to 'A Calendar of Nigerian Traditional Festivals' by the same author and presents in a clearly defined way, the layering upon layering of cultures which make up the Nigerian amalgram. It presents a compelling reconstruction of Ife-Benin and Igbo-Ife relationships that accords with existing documentary and archaeological evidence; and an account of the antecedents of Benin, Ife and Igbo Ukwu art, the abrupt end of Ife's classical art and Ife's relocation to its present site. The book explains the seeming incongruities and contradictions in the Moremi-Igbo encounters at lle Ife and the geographical and social distances which make them implausible unless the Ife and the Igbo were neighbours and the encounters between them took place in a different location of Ife. As proof, the book presents the existence of Igbo ichi marks on soapstone carvings at Esie in Igbomina territory west of the Niger from which the Igbo launched guerilla attacks against Moremi's Ife; and the ichi mark on the soapstone representation at the Ideta shrine in Ile Ife of Obatala, the Yoruba creator god who in the Yoruba Ifa divination corpus, is described as 'Oosa Igbo (the deity of the Igbo.) 'Between God and Man...' is designed to promote heritage awareness for transforming the diversity and pluralism for which Nigeria is known into building blocks for community cohesion and an investment capital for its economic development. It seeks to promote an integrated approach to the preservation and conservation of the cultural and natural heritage in Nigeria, reconcile the imperatives and requirements of development, strengthen endogenous capacities and the participation of local communities, local authorities and the private sector in tourism development in Nigeria.
