OBALORLA:


thanks tosine25. all you need do is just stay tuned. the aim is to explore as many monuments as possible

You should visit benin city

Omo Ogun ki i se ole.

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

@Ephemm, thank you very much for the correction, as an Egba man I was already getting angry at this distortion of our history. The Op tried but needs a better grasp of Egba history.

Nice

OP, please kindly take a second look at the chronicle of Alakes succession. Oba Lipede came after Gbadebo and he was conspicously omitted.

you got it wrong it was launched in 1830 it was 100 yrs in 1930. go recheck your reference.

Good, but you completely omitted Oba Oyebade Lipede who Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo succeeded.

@op, I hardly respond to posts as I appreciate the fact that human beings in public fora such as this are varied and diverse both in their intellectual and spiritual development. However, I could not resist writing this partly as an Egba person and partly because of the information contained in your post.
You came across as someone who doesn't know the concept of the word 'research'. I do not know your level of education, nevertheless, DO NOT rely on a few sources of information before putting pen to paper especially for public consumption.
As you can see already, your write up has elicited some anger and corrections here because you are in the process of DISTORTING THE HISTORY OF A HIGHLY COSMOPOLITAN PEOPLE - THE EGBAS.
In this day and age where information abound everywhere, a simple Internet search could have given you more information on your subject than all your effort in this regard.
If this were to be part of a thesis or simple assignment in an academic setting, you would find your report in a trash bin.
Going forward, perhaps you need to overhaul your report on Abeokuta to save yourself from further comments such as this. Also if you wish to extend your adventure to other areas of the country, please do adequate research before bring your report to public fora.
All the best.

Op! Nice job. I owe you a plate of pounded yam and egunfe. Meet me at Alaga.

ephemm
I'm really very sorry if I had gotten on your nerves bro.
but i know you'd understand me as I put more stuffs up. the aim is to give a personal account of my experience as a novice traveler which is well spelt on my website.
thanks a lot though for the enlightenment.

aariwa:
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

how can history forget these people.
I wrote something in this piece concerning our poor data gathering attitude in Africa.
I only mentioned the pictures I saw. thanks for contributing aariwa

Funjosh:
Awa lomo olumo

my bad! thanks for that. I'd surely fix that.
the major reason y I had to paste this here is cos of correction and criticisms.
thanks again

WinningSun:


you got it wrong it was launched in 1830 it was 100 yrs in 1930. go recheck your reference.

I didn't check any reference. I went there and was told it was completed in 1930. perhaps you should comment this on the website so that people unlearn since I can't re-edit my experience

I report what I see and hear.
