Okenla, John Owolotan (a.k.a. Balogun Onigbagbo Egba, from 1860-1888) c. 1800 to 1888

-
John Owolotan Okenla hailed from Itoku township in the Egba Alake section of Egbaland. The date of his birth is not known. He was from among the Egba people that migrated from the erstwhile homestead of the Egba (popularly called  Igbo Egba , Egba Forest) and who were en route from Ibadan to Abeokuta under the leadership of Chief Sodeke in 1830. He was probably a middle aged man at that time. He became a Christian when the missionaries arrived in Abeokuta in 1842 and was one of the early converts. From oral tradition, we have learned that he was a warrior, a man profoundly religious in a way that his heathen kinsmen could not fathom.  When he became a Christian, he became one totally, surrendering all to God.

The second is that he took a new name, John, as was the custom. In those days and even until now, converts are give...
