The most popular means of transportation in Abeokuta are taxicabs and bikes. Buses and trains are less and are least popular in terms of movement. Perhaps this is due to the population and movement rate of the populace (approximately 500,000) compared to lagos which houses over 20 million. http://www.nomadicnegro.com/2016/09/25/centenary-hall-ake-the-hall-which-took-egba-people-100-years-to-build/ 8 Likes 2 Shares

OBALORLA: You're right about many people not knowing the existence of such historical monuments. Part of the reason is because we live in a country where history is not valued. Another reason is that tourism (local and international) is almost nonexistent in Nigeria. Sad, right? 3 Likes |

You and your old man better go back and learn, the history of Abeokuta and his Kings were documented far beyond 1920. The first Alake of Egbaland was Sagbua Okukenun who ruled between August 1854 to 1862. Prior to the appointment of Oba Sagbua Okukenum in 1846, Shomoye was installed as a Regent for one year, between 1845 and 1846 and following the demise of Oba Sagbua Okukenum in 1862, Shomoye return to the throne of the Alake of Egbaland as a regent where he spent four years between 1862 and 1868 before the appointment of Oba Ademola I in November 1869. He ruled for eight years until his demise on 20 December 1877. In January 1879, Oba Oyeekan was appointed has the Alake of Egbaland. He spent three years on the throne as a result of his death in September 1881. Thereafter, Oluwajin was appointed in February 1885 and ruled in this capacity for four years (died 1889). After two years of the vacant seat of Alake of Egbaland, Oba Oshokalu was appointed in September 1891. He ruled in this capacity for seven years until his demise on 11 June 1898. In the same year, Oba Gbadebo I became the Alake of Egbaland. He spent twelve years on the throne until his death on 28 May 1920.He died at the age of 66 years (1854–1920). Following the demise of Oba Gbadebo I in 1920, Ladapo Samuel Ademola II became the new ruler. He ruled for 42 years but was on exile for two years, (following protest by Egba women led my Mrs Funmilayo Ransome Kuti) between 1948 and December 1950. After his death in 1962, the throne was vacant for one year and on September 1963 Oba Adesina Samuel Gbadebo II was appointed as the new Alake of Egbaland. After the death of Adesina Samuel Gbadebo on 26 October 1971, Samuel Oyebade Lipede became the king. He ruled in this capacity for 33 years until his demise on February 2005, which led to the appointment of Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo III 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I hope they included the names of the Ransome kuti family members in the roll call of Egba heroes,because they used activism to fight oppressive governments for the advancement of humanity;particularly Fela and Madam Ransome Kuti.Obasanjo is very controversial and so i dont know whether his name should be there or not |
