Please don't come on a public forum and brazenly make false.
Even if the school was founded in 1899 which I know is most likely false,there is no way it can be first in anything when even before then a Sapara Williams had already been called to the English bar and some Nigerans like Dr. JC Vaughan were getting ready to go overseas to study medicine, the likes of Pharm. TK Phillips had opened the first Pharmacy in Lagos.
Please try and read wide.

Did you read what you are contending properly?
I don't believe he said what you are suggesting> I did not read anywhere he said it was the first school
He talked about first city state which of course is nonsense but that is another matter

Iyaebe:

Hahaha. this can never be Ijebu. And Ijebu is not Lagos.

Go to Ijebu, go and see Chief Adeola Odutola majestic building still standing. Yoruba don't have a history of walking naked and cannibalism.

Go to Ijebu, go and see Chief Adeola Odutola colonial majestic castle like building still standing and well maintained till date.

Two things you can not associate with the Yoruba; unclothedness and Cannibalism.

Yoruba don't have a history of walking naked and cannibalism.And here is why; the Yoruba have centuries old cloth weaving technology called Ofi or Asooke and the yoruba have always had food in abundance because there is abundance of water bodies and land. That is why the Yoruba are not land locked and barren.

Those two are never part of Yoruba culture.

I don't know you but I appreciate what you do in defending our dignity from these online keyboard warriors. You have been doing us proud,I really mean us,everyone, a lot of them you dont know but you are spoken well of outside this forum...thumbs up and one love. Loud it.

BKayy:

Thank you

BKayy:

LOL. It is amazing that Chief Adeola whatever has a magnificent building standing when the Alaafin of Oyo literally lived inside grasses and palm fronds after 8 decades of British contact.
Chai Afonja, softly dey lie oh

FreeStuffsNG:


As regards late Chief Odutola, his estate and legacies including one of the old elitist secondary schools called Adeola Odutola College,Ijebu Ode, is still standing till date.


His castle was completed in 1939 and this was decades after the picture of the old Alafin.

BKayy:

No need to worry yourself. Ade whatever you call him was born in 1902 and Sir Louis Ojukwu was born 1909.
So both are mates, hit their prime at the same generation but Sir Loius Ojukwu was the richest at the age, time and Generation.
I hope you get where I am driving at.

Whatever Ade whatever built can never match Sir Loius Ojukwu of the same Generation.
No need to post pictures

At least you agree that unclothedness has never been part of Yoruba

unclothedness and cannibalism are never part of Yoruba culture.

PressMyButton:

Those are not Yoruba women. Yoruba women cannot be found unclothed like ibo women whose pictorial evidences are replete with unclothedness.
Moreover, no Yoruba woman sat on a kinda of royal stool back in the day. It is sacrilege that Yoruba women take a seat in a royal posturing with bead-like ornaments around their neck.

BKayy:

This speaks of how low you know Yoruba culture. I've already posted one of your pictures. You Yorubas don't actually have any indigenous cloth. What you call Aso Oké is Fulani material imposed on Ilorin Yorubas which later spread to encompass Oyo.

As for Cannibalism, you might need to explain what happened at Oyo during Endsars or the case of Owolabi, his mother and his girlfriends heart or that of your ancient Ogboni cult
