This
is basically an exposition on historical psychology with emphasis on African
history. The 19th century was a turbulent time in Ibadan and it
produced warriors like Aare Latosisa. Are Latosisa is a very important
character in the history of Yoruba land. His reign was eventful and it finally
brought about the era of British Colonialism that was preceded by Ibadan
imperialism, conflict and the 16 year civil war in Yoruba land. This
is a psycho-analysis of his character and it gives an insight into his motives
and state of mind. Basically the psycho-historical exploration of the African
society is rare. The events of Yoruba land in the 19th century were
shaped by inividuals with different psychological dispositions and their state
of mind determined the fate of social groups such as cities, villages, empires
and ethnic groups. Aare Latosisa was a typical example of an individual with NPD
(Narcistic Personality Disorder). He caused a lot of wars in Yoruba land with
his braggadocio, pride and impatience. This study is a psycho-historical
exploration of written records in order to understand the human persona and
enigma called Aare Latosisa. The political, social and cultural events of the
19th century in Yoruba Land created militaristic political figures
such as Aare Latosisa. It is important to note that there is a direct
relationship between the profession of an individual and his psychological
disposition towards life.
