Egba Kingdom
The Egba Kingdom is a historical Yoruba state located in southwestern Nigeria. It was established in the early 19th century as a refuge for people fleeing from the Oyo Empire and other conflicts. The kingdom is known for its rich cultural heritage, including traditional festivals, art, and music, which reflect the values and beliefs of the Yoruba people.
The capital of the Egba Kingdom is Abeokuta, which means "under the rock." This city is famous for its unique geographical features, including the Olumo Rock, a significant landmark. The Egba people have a strong sense of community and governance, with a traditional council led by the Alake, the king of Abeokuta.
