I read about the Abeokuta part some years back, it is now corrupted to 'bekuta'. It was a settlement established by Enslaved Yoruba of Egba descent who were brought to Jamaica, after their freedom and obviously as they couldn't come back home, they decide to start a community like the one they left. Professor Wole Soyinka having heard of the story was too excited and decided to visit the place, himself an Egba man, he stated in his account how he saw the last surving woman who knew the history of the community. The woman told him of how she missed how people used to live communally, but most of them have passed away, how the people lived in the traditional ways, religion, food etc, the woman mentioned that all the Yoruba foods known were eaten in Bekuta. Unhappily it was said the woman talked about how things have changed, the younger generations have abandoned the older people's ways and most of them have moved away to the big city. I was deeply intrigued with the story.

illiterate research full of lies.

Shaw was a concubine, not wife.

Many lies in that your ojoro research

And if the queen wants to go to north korea, she must produce her passport

pls learn to read and not depend on hearsay.
lord lugard and flora shaw got married in 1902.
the union produced no heir, thus lugard's barony died with him.

That is not a fact.It is no surprise that some Sierra Leoneans and Liberians have Nigerian roots. Try Google for the history of both countries
