Il ne faut donc pas chercher dans ces mémoires une biographie individualisée de l’historien dont l’enfance, comme le confirme son oriki, poème-prière personnel, se confond presque entièrement avec l’histoire de sa ville et de sa famille et qui dit porter en lui à la fois son père, décédé l’année même de sa naissance, et Ibadan.
