Video Discription |
Consummate politician, astute businessman, a diplomat second to none, a natural ruler, who knew instinctively, that power hinges on the strength of a monarchy being able to reinvent and evolve itself, so as to keep moving into the future.
He was ahead of his time. He built his today, with his tomorrow in focus.
Oba Sir Titus Martins Adesoji Tadeniawo Aderemi (Atobatele I) was Knighted Commander of the Order of St. Michael & St. George (KCMG), by Late Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) in 1956 before Nigeria gained independence.
Oba Adesoji Aderemi was a traditional ruler, the spiritual head of the YORUBA people and a public figure, having been the Sole Administrator of the IFE NATIVE AUTHORITY during colonial rule, a minister in the first central government of Nigeria constituted in 1951, member of all the constitutional conferences leading to Nigeria’s independence and the first black governor in the English commonwealth upon his installation as the governor of the Western Region of Nigeria in 1960.
He had many firsts, which included being the first indigenous governor in black Africa and the British Commonwealth, (before Nigerian independence in October of 1960) whilst still holding down his spiritual job, as the Ooni of Ife and running successful produce, commodities trading, mining and transport businesses.
He eventually joined his ancestors on 3rd July 1980, after 50 glorious years on the throne of ile-ife, the cradle of Yoruba culture and civilization...
Opppsss, sorry I meant to say the cradle of humanity.
