These associations which are recognized under Non-Governmental Organization are both formal and informal body organized for fulfilment of specific goals or purpose. Thus, it is imperative to understudy these women associations and their roles especially in governance etc. It is important to note that women associations have become stakeholders in governance and developmental matrix and since the 20th century women association has had an explosive growth in the number and sizes all around the world cutting across economic, political, socio-cultural, religious, business, professional, activist sectors. Nigeria is not left out as there are evidences of their activities. This chapter will interrogate the concept women association, disclose its evidence around the world streamlining it to Nigeria and then Kwale which is in the present day Delta state. The work will show how both formal and informal women associations in Kwale such as age group system, the women cultural organization known as the Umuada toe mention a few. It will also look at how they have contributed to governance, leadership, decision making and development in general. The work adopts historical methodological approach in gathering data this includes the use of primary and secondary sources and would cover women associations and their activities in Kwale up to 1950.

This has been possible due to several reasons, such as the preservation and innovations in the 19 th century during the slave trade era and the practises of the Yoruba in diaspora, especially in the present globalised world. This has played a role in the spread of Yoruba cultural practises to the most distant parts of the earth. This work therefore aims at examining the changing dynamic over time of Yoruba cultural and societal practises. The paper also explores issues like how the Yoruba spread to the diaspora, followed by how and why peculiarity was given to the preservation of Yoruba culture in a globalised world. The paper will also examine some countries where these cultures are practised, mainly focusing on Brazil and Cuba. The paper also concludes that globalization and popular culture have impacted negatively on Yoruba social cultural practises, and questions if indeed the Yoruba cultural values can stand the test of globalisation and popular culture in a changing world.
