“…Though, the ideological philosophy of having the father, mother and children as the segments of family structure has both theoretical and empirical backings. Aize (1995) further explained that, family structure in Africa is dominantly extended to other members such as cousins, in-laws, grand-fathers, grand-mothers within the family. This is because the extended family structure serves as networks of economic, social and emotional security for members of the families.…”

“…The issues are compounded by the polygamous nature of family relationships where men can marry several wives and have children from multiple women (Ogundele, Idris & Ahmed-Ogundipe, 2000). Researchers such as Obayan (1995) believe that the extended family system is a burden on entrepreneurship. This state of affairs can lead to more successful family members looking after less successful ones with no incentive for the less successful ones to strive for themselves (Joseph, 2014).…”

The study examines how traditional meanings attributed to housing and the rituals relating to death and burials on private properties are being challenged due to modernisation, familial politics, and contending sets of interests (i.e., valuing property for its economic capital vs. social/cultural capital). The methodology approach is based on in‐depth interviews with 12 respondents from a diverse range of socio‐economic backgrounds. Findings reveal how negotiations and renegotiations of interests affect the physical state and marketability of houses in the Yoruba communities. The findings also sign‐post a fascinating entry point for exploring the way Yoruba are negotiating and navigating the relationship between modernity and tradition. An important implication for marketing and consumption praxes concerns the dynamism in the narratives of ritual behaviour, especially in the non‐Western tradition. The paper contributes to the navigation of relationships between the living and the dead within a Nigerian subculture from a marketing perspective.
