Description

The governor quarrels with the Eleko over many developmental problems and decided to banish him. Herbert Macaulay, supported by some concerned Lagosians, coordinates a relentless agitation. The success of that spirit is recorded in a monumental judgment of the Privy Council in favor of Lagosians which culminated in the triumphal return of the Eleko to Lagos from Oyo where he served his banishment. Akinwumi Isola re-tells the history of Lagos with so much flavour that keeps the reader spellbound.
