When Queen Elizabeth came to Nigeria In 1960 before the independence, we reveal to you where she passed the night. When we talk of Nigeria history, the Ijebu people will always be noted as one of the wealthiest Billionaire tribes and there is in another dimension as they’ve been rich right from the pre-colonial era. One of the Notable billionaire of the old who flexed their dough hard includes Ijebu born businessman and philanthropist, Timothy Adeola Odutola. Before we go into the evergreen edifice this man built, we would love to run a short profile of him. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola (1902- 95) Is a prominent businessman and Philanthropist from #Ijebu-Ode. He attended St Saviours Primary School Italope and Ijebu-Ode Grammar School. He started work in the Colonial Service and later went into business selling damask and fish. He became a Produce buyer opening large storage units and transportation lines. By 1960 he had created a conglomerate including three factories, a retail franchise, a cattle ranch, a 5,000-acre rubber and palm oil plantation, a sawmill, and export business. Chief Odutola became so rich that he had a personal relationship with the father of Queen Elizabeth, George VI. In 1956 during her Official visit to Nigeria, the Queen of England; Queen Elizabeth II was scheduled to visit only Ibadan, Enugu and Kaduna as the regional capitals. Queen Elizabeth requested her visit be rerouted to include Ijebu-Ode to enable her to visit Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola, the Ogbeni Oja, her father’s friend who usually wined and dined with the royals at Buckingham Palace. She passed a night at Ijebu-Ode and what a privileged visit indeed. Behold the Adeola Odutola Lodge, Ijebu-Ode (built, 1939). https://www.anaedoonline.ng/2020/02/29/see-castle-where-queen-elizabeth-spent-a-night-in-nigeria-photos/ 152 Likes 27 Shares

Interesting story But I find it hard to believe that the Queen went to Ijebu Ode, and there is no picture of this historic visit Aunticate this story by posting a picture of the Queen visiting Ijebu Ode as such visit would been groundbreaking at the time 72 Likes 11 Shares |

Why's the house supposedly built in the 50s in coloured pictures but the one with the queen is in black and white? Propaganda is the word here. 34 Likes 6 Shares |

bergs2: There's a difference between slave trade and colonialism, these are 2 distant eras. The queen never enslaved any Africans, before everybody becomes an online activist, try to get proper knowledge. Perhaps Mary Slessor too shouldn't have stopped the killing of twins in Nigeria because African societies were "perfect" ![]() Colonialism was what ushered Africa into the present stage of enlightenment and development. What would we achieve without Christianity and education? Just like the Uju woman insulting people up and down on Twitter, most of you love to deceive yourselves. 142 Likes 17 Shares |
