History of the Eko Dynasty

Prince Bọlakale Kọtun

4.9/5 (26010 ratings)

Description:History of the Eko Dynasty is a fascinating, well-researched narration of the author’s birthplace and hometown, Isale Eko (Downtown Lagos).It presents a chronological sequence of the events in, around and after the founding of Eko as a town and carefully captures the details about its identity as a treasure chest of history, culture and the rich heritage of Lagos – it demonstrates how the history of Isale Eko is inextricably tied to the history of what is today known as Lagos State.Poised with a very logical and credible stance, this book is unique when compared with the various earlier versions of Lagos history in that it is over 20 years of a very intense and thorough research process being presented in simple, easy to understand language for readers of all ages and diverse backgrounds.There is a lot to be wished for in many ancient African written traditions – where most of the history and happenings were passed down through oral tradition, so they are rife with controversies and often, contradictory accounts of what occurred in the distant past. Yet, Prince Kotun has been able to justify his accounts of the history of Isale Eko and Nigeria somewhat, not only by diving into the events with verifiable facts, but also by explaining the ‘hows and wherefores’ of circumstances that surrounded the historical happenings.This book highlights the essential aspects of Eko's identity; its connection with Oduduwa, as well as the early links between Eko and the Benin Empire; Isale Eko’s history as the first port of entry of the Portuguese into what is now known as Nigeria; all valuable and insightful information for any lover of history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
