King Kosoko Of Lagos (c.1797. – 1872) Monarch, Statesman, War Strategist. by shinene2020: 10:40am On Dec 01, 2016 |
King Kosoko was the eldest child of King Eshilokun, the 7th historical king of Lagos,(c.1813 – 1829). He started trading early in his life, his father having been the hereditary ruler as prince Asajon of Ebute Iga, a slave trading outpost of King Ologun Kutere, situated on the northern foreshore of Ikorodu lagoon. His name appeared among the traders of Lagos who sold slaves to a Brazilian slave ship, “The Aviso”, in April 1825, when he was apparently still under 30 years of age. We do not know whether he speaks Portuguese language, the language of commerce and culture at that time in Lagos, several letters seized from his palace at Iga Idunganran, by the British navy, written to him by Brazilian slave traders, and published as propaganda offensive against him, exist in the archives, suggests that he may read in Portuguese language, but can write, unlike Chief Landuji, the Oshodi Tapa. When his father died late in October 1829, he was bypassed in the choice of successor, which fell on his youngest brother, Idewu Ojulari, who was apparently a purple birth. read more @ http://proudlyoruba.com/king-kosoko-of-lagos-c-1797-1872-monarch-statesman-war-strategist/
