description The study examined dirges among the Egba and Ijebu of Ogun State. It analysed their contents and examined the use of language in the genre, with a view to highlighting their aesthetic qualities and thematic preoccupations. Oral interviews were conducted with five purposively selected dirge chanters from each of the Egba and Ijebu communities. The chanted dirges were recorded, transcribed and analysed. The five Egba communities included Ake, Oke-ona, Gbagura, Owu, Ibara, while the five Ijebu communities included Ikene, Ilisan, Ijebu-Ode, Ipara and Ode-Remo. Sociological and hermeneutic methods were used in the analysis of the data. The study identified the following funeral dirges in the two communities. Igbala, Bolojo, Ege, Etutu, Apepe, Atoto, Agbe, Ekute and Iremoje. The dirges expressed in poetic form, homage to the ancestors, warning to the living and prayers for the audience. The language was found to be replete with poetic devices such as repetition, personification, metaphor, simile and allusions. The study concluded that dirges were a vital form of oral literature among the Egba and Ijebu Yoruba as it revealed their philosophy about life and about life after death. This was evident in their use of poetry as a means of sending messages through the deceased to the ancestors and of warning the living to live a virtuous life in order to make heaven.
