According to the late Alaafin’s grandson, Prince Siyanbola Oladigbolu.
the relevance of Alaafin remains top-notch for eternity. When it comes to displaying royalty in Yorubaland, comparing the stool of Alaafin with any other royal homes is a big insult.
The heir apparent to the stool of alaafin and the late Alaafin Ladigbolu’s grandson voiced in.
The narration that Olayinkka Habert Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay, widely known as Albert Macaulay, was the first Nigerian to own a car was untrue
I am not just saying that those telling such history were lying just to deny credit where it is due; I have evidence that they are wrong.
First of all, no one should be deceived by any celebrapalsy lie. The first motorable road in what is today’s geographical expression called Nigeria was from Ibadan city to Oyo alaafin.
The road was constructed in 1906 for the sole purpose of moving cocoa and other crops from Oyo to Ibadan to feed Alaafin’s warriors. This is verifiably a word that can be taken to any conventional bank in Nigeria.
My great-grandfather, Alaafin Lawani Amubieya Agogo-Ija, ascended the stool of Alaafin in 1905 after the passing of his father, Alaafin Abdul Rahman Adelu Agunloye A year later, the first motorable road was constructed for farming purposes. No Nigerian had a vehicle at that time.
In March 1906, Sir Walter Egerton was appointed Governor of the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria by the British Council. Immediately after his resumption in March 1906, his first project was the construction of Ibadan to the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo’s motorable road.
Those saying Herbert Macaulay drove a car in the early 19-00 should be asked, which road did Macaulay drive the vehicle? Oyo Prince, who may be the new Alaafin, asked.
The youngest surviving biological grandson of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Siyanbola Oladigbolu, Prince Siyanbola Jnr, boldly told journalists in Ibadan that no man born of a woman in today’s Nigeria had a moving vehicle before his great-grandfather, Alaafin.
