- This is a short documentary about the coronation of Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, ll, in 1965. It was shot by my grandfather, Chief Olu Holloway. Over the next few months, I will upload films he shot, chronicling parts of modern life (now history!), in Lagos, between 1965 and 1971.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please leave comments and feedback below.

His reign saw so much development in Lagos. Heaven where he is, Peace ! Peace ! Peace!!!
It's pretty rare to come across such valuable footage with clear video and audio!
Many thanks to your grand dad and also to you for uploading to RUclips.
We look forward to more of such vintage videos 👍
When God enthrones you ,no body can dethrone you. You reigh will be peaceful,.. your subjects will love , respect , honour you & will support you because they are blessed from your wise counsel... Happy is the memory of a good leader...lm sure his children & generation will be delighted to see this.....this video was very well recorded..
When an Oba is not imposed, the land prosper and there will be peace. We can compare this to the current Oba of Lagos. It's said in the video that the Oba during the coronation is dressed as a commoner like his people so that he will know he is one and a part of them. But we see what can happen when an Oba build a wall around himself like the current one who coincidentally was chased off his palace during last skirmish that happened after the EndSARS protest was forcefully put down by the government.
Thanks indeed for this piece of history. It's quite fascinating going back memory lane like this. Please do upload more similar videos. God bless you sweetly always..
Thus is beautiful! God bless the memory of Oba Oyekan.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Thanks to your grandfather’s recording, we can catch a rare glimpse of our history.
Thank you for your comment. Hoping to turn this into a cultural and historical documentary channel with more videos, over the next few months!

In the days when obas were classy, cultured and felt the pulse of those whom they ruled over.

Yorubas still need to go back to their root, asa ati ise yoruba ti ku,eje kia pada si orisun wa, ise se lagba either we like it or not
Indeed you made someone like me felt very happy, may you also be feeling happy in your life...but a question... Seen sheu shagari confused my medulla memories and perception... So sheu shagari had been a prominent and well familiarity with Yoruba tribe very long time before becoming the president? Or was he his father? Please clear me on this... I have subscribed to your profile
That was Shehu Shagari, who later became the president of Nigeria. He had been in government in various positions previously.
I think d king Oyekan was installed in 1965
