They say he has history and library in his head. How i wish, he can write them all down.

So if this man dies, all the history and library is all gone
That is another problem in Nigeria, poor record, no data, and lack of proper documentation. They must have started interviewing this man like 3 years ago, cos He can exhaust the history in the next five years.

Baba Kekere has served 3 Alaafins. His duty is to run errands for the king. He served :

1. Oba Adeniran Adeyemi II, Lamidis father between 1945 & 1956.

2. Oba Gbadegesin Ladigbolu II between 1956 & 1968 and

3. Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, between 1970 &
2022.

He walks briskly in and around the Alaafin of Oyo palace. He is very popular not only because of his diminutive figure but because of his humility and he does not get angry.

Some call him a man with repository of knowledge of the Palace for he has the history off hand and some call him the Palace library or an archive.

He is called Baba Kekere possibly because of his height. His age is unknown because his birth was not recorded but it is assumed that he should be over 100 years now.

His real name is Morenikeji Lasisi.

He should be around 87 years he may have started serving the first Alaafin at the age of 12 years that will put his date of birth at 1933 making him around 89years

Baba Keji is over 100 years. This i know for sure. I have met with him several times in the late 90s. I'm from Bashorun in Oyo town, Bashorun compound is very close to the palace. We used to go and play in the palace premises. There was a big tortoise that year but I don't know if the tortoise still alive.
