An Ancient & Modern History of Abeokuta

An Ancient & Modern History of Abeokuta tells the story of the home of the Egba people which started with their liberation from the ruler-ship of the Alaafin of Oyo around the year 1780, their sojourn to Abeokuta in 1830, the arrival of Christianity in 1843, the formation of the Egba United Government in 1893, their Kings (i.e. the Alakes) and the prominent sons and daughters of Abeokuta. #HistoryVille #Abeokuta

Great work. We need to tell our history more. Also, the first African to be knighted and Mayor of Freetown; Sir Samuel Lewis' family was from Abeokuta of the Egba's, although a second generation Sierra Leonean.

[@HistoryVille]

Wow. That's good to know. Thanks. Yes, we must tell our own history.

Oba ladapo ademola your granddaughter taught me as a kid. I'm grateful sir rest easy.

[@megaultimatepro4677]

Great video! I learned something new. Our history extends all the way to the ancient Hebrews of the scriptures in the middle east...
Many things aren't taught in schools. Our people do not know who they are. very sad!

[@efemzyekun900]

The middle east is from us and not the other way round...Africa is the birth place of man, not Israel or middle east...Take note.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Will also love to see a history of iseyin in your future videos.

[@adeyemiogundairo7518]

[@abideenadeniran4721]

Just to appreciate and thank you for our history much of the time overlooked and unknown. Hopefully we will one day embrace ourselves as legitimately created as any other race to prosper, take responsibility and advance our people to the promised land.

Abeokuta, sounds like Igbo (ebe okwute) meaning place of stone/rock

[@HistoryVille]

Nice.

[@Yoruba4U]

DNA has established that the Igbos, Akans and Yorubas are 99.9% the same people. Those of them that are E1b1a are Isrealites.... There are many similarities in the languages too like Ase & Ise
