However, it is important that one understands these renditions properly and their meanings as well reflected deeply upon for it to meet the purpose it was intended, hence, this makes understanding the Yoruba language pivotal in understanding the meaning, purpose and message embodied in these various chants, prayers, incantations and recitations.
