Henceforth, the colonial officer would calculate the amount of tax expected from all Ibadan taxable adults and would go to Adebisi Idikan’s residence to collect the money. Too much money 3 Likes |

A good and inspiring story, however, Adebisi Idikan is not the first Ibadan entreprenuer. Generations before him people like Efunsetan Aniwura etc were already big business guru. Efunsetan was a big supplier of ammunitions to the Ibadan war lords and these were imported goods. Adebisi father was said to have migrated from Efon Alaaye in the present day Ekiti State not Ondo as stated in the write up. 4 Likes |

There is an adage in Yoruba which translates to "if you say you would build your house like Adebisi's, you might not build anything". It was then I asked my grandpa who is Adebisi and how big is the house. Then he told me the story |

ventilation:Barry only used Adebisi Idiikan's lineage to praise Olanihun Ajadi. They are not the same. Mufutau Ajadi Olanihun was also a philanthropist. He built a school comprising of Preprimary, Primary and Secondary school and gave it to government to train our children. As history did not Forget Adebisi Idiikan, so also will Mufutau Ajadi Olanihun's name will continue to be remembered. The young generations of Ibadan people will not forget them and others like them. |

dominique:May I, for clarity sake. That Adebisi is a man, both gender bears the name. No, there were so many entrepreneurs but he was only bizman that has the drive, mission and accomplishments. He was the most successful among his peers. He expands the coast of his empire that makes all to benefited from it. His mansion in idikan is still a cynosure of all eyes till tomorrow despite being built close to 80 year ago. 1 Like |

A worthy businessman to emulate. Not the greedy ones will have all around throwing their weights without doing anything or giving back to the people. Continue to rest in peace Messrs Adebisi Idi-Kan. |
