Oyekan I

Oba Dosunmu disapproved Oyekan's actions and cursed him saying "The boy who has thus acted should be lost".Chief Taiwo Olowo, Chief Apena Ajasa's rival, was delighted by Oyekan's action and countered Oba Dosunmu's imprecation saying "The boy shall not be lost but he will live a long life of prosperity"[2] The Obaship declined both financially and in terms of influence during Oyekan's reign.Oyekan accepted a drop in income paid by the British colonial government from £1,000 to £200 (eventually raised to £400 in 1898).[3] Oyekan also lacked the backing of powerful chiefs such as Apena Ajasa who he clashed with in 1883.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.This biography of a member of an African royal house is a stub.
