Here is the world we live in today

The whole of the place where the Oyo State Government House is located in Ibadan used to be known in ancient times before the founding of this third Ibadan in its present location as Idi Ogungun. (do-do-mi)

The Ogungun tree after which the area was named is still standing there, and the area within the immediate vicinity of the three is still called Idi Ogungun, the name it has been bearing since more than 200 years ago.

This same Idi Ogungun has been the theatre of many events in the history of Ibadan.

For an example, the confederate army of Ife, Oyo and Ijebu which destroyed the city of Owu were using Idi Ogungun as their camping ground. From there they used to sally forth to lay siege to the city of Owu. Owu was finally captured when the people of Owu opened their city gates to the confederate army when they had no more food to eat.

The city of Owu which then comprised of the areas now known as Bashorun, Iwo Road, Monatan up to her boundary with the sister Owu town of Erunmu was then very close to Idi Ogungun.

Owu people can be identified today by their tribal mark as they are only tribe of the Yoruba race that have the tribal marks of three broad vertical lines above three broad horizontal lines.

Since their dispersion from their original homestead, they have been mostly domiciled among the Egbas in Abeokuta where they are up till now, though they are still found forming part of the indigenous population in other towns in Yorubaland.
.
Some of the well known Owu personalities are General Olusegun Obasanjo, a two-time head of state of Nigeria and Prince Bola Ajibola, a former justice of the World Court.

But I digress....

As Oba Isaac Akinyele recorded in his book Iwe Itan Ibadan (the history of Ibadan) there used to be a saying in ancient times which went as follows “Oninure Idi Ogungun ti i seru domo” meaning “the kind hearted man of Idi Ogungun who will make slaves to become like free-borns”. This statement had been extant in Ibadan years before the coming of Captain Bower to Ibadan or ever before the coming of the British Government.

This same Captain R. L. Bower was one of the officers of the 7th Battalion King’s Royal Rifles and part of the force of the British Punitive Expedition that pacified the Ijebus in 1892 when they subjugated Ijebu-Ode and opened up the way to the Yoruba hinterlands which hitherto had been close because the Ijebus did not allow non-indigenes to enter not to talk of passing through their country, thus ending the age-old saying “Ijebu-Ode, ajeji o wo” meaning Ijebu-Ode, a place that is that strangers must not enter.

After successfully participating in the pacification of the Ijebus, Captain Bower was appointed as the first Ajele (Resident) of Ibadan.

He arrived Ibadan in 1893 with a force of about 100 soldiers. The Ibadan authorities wanted to assign him a place within the city-walls for residence, but he marched through and took up his quarters outside the city walls in the area known as Idi Ogungun, where he set up his camp.

The place where he set up camp on that day became the Residency and since then it has been the seat of Government for the South-West and it is now the seat of the seat of the Oyo State Government

Thus one can see that the seat of the Oyo State Government is located in the place where it is today because Captain Bower chose to settle at Idi Ogungun, and since then subsequent District Officers, Residents and Governors continue to have Idi Ogungun as their seats of government.

Though it is now known as Agodi, the whole of the area used to be known anciently as Idi Ogungun.

Now this is the part I find interesting:

After setting up his camp at Idi Ogungun the first act of governmental administration which Captain Bower did was to issue a proclamation to the effect that henceforth all slaves have become free and they could leave their master’s establishment to go to their respective homes and that nobody should ever be referred to as slave anymore upon pain of condign punishment.

Thus Captain Bower, the man of destiny, thus unwittingly fulfilled the ancient prophecy that had been extant ever before he was born: “Oninure Idi Ogungun ti i seru domo” (“the kind hearted man of Idi Ogungun who will make slaves to become like free-borns”)

He is currently immortalized by a tower erected in his memory at Oke-Are, which is called Bower’s Tower.
It is the spiral stair-case of the Tower that is referred to in local parlance as “Layipo”, giving rise to the saying “Ibadan lo mo, o o mo Layipo which simply means You have only been to Ibadan, but you have not been to Bower’s Tower which originally is used to refer to people who had been to Ibadan but had not been to see the spiral staircase (Layipo) of Bower’s Tower and does not imply as it is been now understood to mean that Ibadan people are very deceptive

Aina Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies, the Yoruba Princess Raised By Queen Victoria of England.
In about the year 1848, an Egbado town was raided by the Dahomey (modern day Benin Republic) Army, in the time of King Gezo. Among the captives was a girl of about 7 years old. Though very young and of royal blood, the little girl later revealed that her family lived in Oke-Adan part of Egbado area. King Gezo consequently gave the little girl away as a “present” to Queen Victoria through Commander Forbes, an English Naval Commander who was in Dahomey at the time. Eventually, Sarah was taken to England on a British navy warship called “HMS Bonetta.” She was baptized in the church and given the name of Sarah and last name Forbes Bonetta (Forbes from the name of Captain Forbes who rescued her and Bonetta from the warship she boarded to England).

Upon arriving at England in July of 1850, Sarah went to live with the Forbes family where she learned English very quickly and her gift of music was soon noticed as she was often found singing to herself. At 11 o’clock on Saturday 9th November, 1850, Sarah was invited to Windsor Castle where she met Queen Victoria. Sarah soon became a regular visitor to Windsor Castle .She also became close friends with Queen Victoria’s children, especially Princess Alice. Henceforth, Queen Victoria decided to take Sarah under her protection and to pay all her expenses. Sarah was in an exceptional position, with her connection to the Royal family she experienced what most people in England at the time could only dream about.

Queen Victoria was the most powerful emperor in the world, and it was very uncommon for anyone to visit her at her palace, however she enjoyed Sarah’s company whom she described as "brilliant and beautiful." During the winter of 1850, Sarah was repeatedly ill until the Queen became worried about her health and decided that she should be educated in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where she would probably cope better with the weather. Meanwhile, she had been distraught to learn of Commander Forbes' death from an illness while he was in Africa. Sarah arrived in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on 19th June 1851, 33 days after leaving England. Here, she enjoyed the privilege of being accorded as the Queen’s godchild. The Queen would always ship Sarah’s school and personal supplies to Freetown from England.

Queen Victoria would later declare a school holiday in England after Sarah’s daughter, Victoria, excelled in her music exams. On Thursday August 14th, 1862, 18 months after he had first proposed to her and she refused, Sarah and James Labulo Davies were married in St Nicholas Church, Brighton. Mr. Davies was a Yoruba missionary and businessman who was working and living in England at the time. The Queen had introduced the two to each other about two years earlier in England. Captain Forbes, brother of Commander Forbes who had rescued Sarah, gave her away on her wedding day. The wedding was a grand affair and was well-attended. There were ten carriages and sixteen bridesmaids, both African and British ladies; and groomsmen in likewise manner.

It was later decided that Sarah was to teach at the school where she had once been a pupil so she returned to Freetown as a teacher. Sarah and her husband Labulo had three children together: Victoria, Arthur, and Stella who were all educated in England and Europe.Q Victoria who was named after the Queen continued to visit her Royal godmother throughout her life and was given an annuity as financial allowance. Victoria Davies was one of Queen Victoria’s last visitors until the Queen’s demise in 1901. Sarah finally moved to Lagos (in today's Nigeria) where she worked as a teacher and helped the missionaries. She was a close companion of Bishop Ajayi Crowther in Lagos.

Unknown to many, Sarah had never forgotten the name given to her by her biological parents, she later added “Aina” as her official first name. Mrs. Aina Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies died in August, 1880, in Madeira, an Island off the coast of Portugal where she had gone to seek treatment for tuberculosis. She was buried in Funchal, Madeira. She was about 37 years old.

Unforgettable Yoruba Hero
Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu 'Penkelemess' (PART 1)

Adegoke Adelabu was born at Oke Oluokun, Kudeti Area of Ibadan, Oyo on 3rd September, 1915. He attended St David’s CMS, Kudeti, Ibadan from 1925 to 1929; CMS Central School, Mapo area, Ibadan in 1930, the Government College Ibadan 1931 to 1935 and Higher College, Yaba, Lagos in the year 1936 Adelabu earned accelerated (double) promotions on three occasions at Elementary, Primary and Secondary School levels, yet he never came second in any examination, but first at all times. He was extremely brilliant!

He was the first African manager of the United Africa Company (UAC) at age 21 in 1936, Nigeria’s first federal minister of social services and natural resources at age 39 in 1954, first chairman the old of Ibadan district council (now comprising II LGAS) in 1954, former first national vice, later the president of the now defunct NCNC political party, former leader of opposition in the old Western Region house of assembly and leader of the NCNC western delegation to the 1957 constitutional conference in London, UK.

A proud Ibadan indigene who flaunted his Ibadan tribal mark and dressed Yoruba. Man of the people he was, when he became the minister of labour, he immediately drove his official car, an American limousine all the way to Ibadan and asked all his teeming supporters to share the car with him. He boldly announced to them that the car belonged to them and not him

Similarly, when he was provided with a government house as his official residence in Ikoyi, the most exclusive part of Lagos, he turned up with drummers from Ibadan much to the discomfiture of the largely expatriate residents of Ikoyi. They protested vigorously about the noise but Adelabu would not relent. He called a press conference and stoutly declared: “If they do not like noise and drumming, they are free to go back to their own country.”

If Chief Adelabu Adegoke were still with us, the government would have neither peace nor slumber. He was an unrepentant activist and brilliant orator rolled into one and when he famously declared publicly that the government of Western Nigeria was in “a peculiar mess” over the management of its affairs, the audience, who were not all endowed with fluency of the English language, went wild with their own version of what they had heard. They translated it as “penkelemess”. That is how “peculiar mess” was supplanted by “penkelemess” which has since become synonymous with not only the name of Adelabu but also a short hand, abbreviation or acronym for any government that is considered grossly incompetent or outrageously corrupt.

Chief Adegoke sadly died in a fatal car accident in March 1958, at the old Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was only 43.
