ABEOKUTA NIGERIA | INSIDE AKE PALACE , HOME OF EGBA HISTORY

Abeokuta is the capital city of Ogun State, Nigeria, and one of the most historically significant cities in southwestern Nigeria. Founded in the 19th century, Abeokuta is widely known as the homeland of the Egba people and a city deeply rooted in Yoruba history, culture, and traditional leadership. In this video, I take you inside Ake Palace, the historic residence of the Aláke of Egbaland. Ake Palace is not just a royal home-it is a powerful symbol of Egba identity, unity, and governance, and it plays a central role in the political and cultural history of Egbaland. As we explore the palace environment, I share insights into the history of the Egba people, the significance of Ake as one of the original settlements in Abeokuta, and the importance of traditional institutions in preserving Yoruba heritage. This visit offers a closer look at how history, culture, and monarchy continue to shape life in Abeokuta today. If you are interested in Nigerian history, Yoruba culture, and exploring historical places across Nigeria, this video provides an informative and immersive experience into one of Abeokuta's most important landmarks.
