Word of the Day: “Fine words do not produce food.” – Nigerian Proverb.

Today in history in 1851, “Akitoye is installed for a second time as the Oba of Lagos. The British have helped by forcing out Oba Kosoko after what the Yoruba people have called Ogun Ahoyaya (“The Battle of the Boiling Canons”). Kosoko is Akitoye’s nephew who ousted Akitoye in a 1845 coup d’état. In three days, on 1 January 1852, Akitoye will sign a treaty between Lagos and Great Britain that outlaws human sacrifice and the slave trade in what will become Nigeria.” Source: https://www.africatodayyesterday.org/days/29-dec
