“…The traditional and cultural process of child rearing and upbringing had quality attention and consideration (Omobowale, Omobowale, & Falase, 2018;Busari, Owojuyigbe, & Okunola, 2017); this made the transmission of the cultural value from one generation to another achievable in African societies to maintain the continuous upholding of marriage values and practices. Societies in Southwestern Nigeria place the high cultural and religious value on child-bearing and rearing.…”

“…This also amount to the significant structural changes observed in family settings and system in sub-Saharan Africa as norms in traditional African family patterns are progressively altered by globalisation and substituted with modern values (Wahab et al, 2012). Moreover, Ime and David (2013), Busari et al (2017) as well as Obaro and Agbontaen-Eghafona (2003) found that child fostering and other means of spreading childrearing cost among relatives are fading out in a number of Nigerian societies.…”

As a basic unit of kinship relationships, the family plays a significant role in every Nigerian society. With the occurrence of social change in every society in the contemporary period, Nigerian traditional family structure and setting have undergone significant alterations as a consequence of the influx of the superfluous forces through globalisation. The sole objective of this review was to pinpoint the cultural aspects of the indigenous family system that technological, socio-cultural and economic factors, as components of globalisation, have altered in Nigerian society. In this systematic review, integration of a large body of both quantitative and qualitative findings from previous relevant studies was carried out to achieve the sole objective of this study. Via the available relevant previous studies, this systematic review concluded that several family structures and settings, such as mate selection, family size, family settlement and resident rule (from patrilocal to neolocal), child rearing as well as relationship between work and family role of gender have undergone changes while new pattern of family structure and setting such as nonmarital childbearing, single parenthood, non-marital unions, cohabiting couples, single parent family, blended family or contract marriage, homosexual couples are on the increase in the country.

“…Even though it was through hardship, what was learnt at initiation schools helped prepare initiates to learn and develop good morals and discipline. According to Busari et al (2017), in the precolonial traditional setup, children were taught to do good right from the infancy stage; this was done through instructions and day-to-day practical examples from parents and elders in the household. Other cultural aspects such as song, moral lessons and proverbs were employed during moonlight story sessions.…”

“…The primary concern here is to make an omoluabi out of a child. Omoluabi translates to a responsible person (Busari et al, 2017, Dauda, 2017; Omobowale, 2008). A responsible child is such who respects and honours parents and other elders and internalises normative values and conforms to same in actions and interactions.…”

The Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria describes children as the heritage of the society because children occupy a special place in societal survival and continuity. Children are esteemed and appreciated. Thus, the embedded culture propagates the essentiality of children, the need for proper socialisation and internalisation to make a responsible being ( Omoluabi). Also, children are prioritised above material wealth, and the essentiality of child wellbeing and education is emphasised in aspects of popular culture such as oral poetry, proverbs, local songs and popular music among others. Using extant elements of Yoruba popular culture which have remained dominant, this article contextually examines the value of children among the Yoruba.
