Summary
| Description |
English: The Grand Mosque is a landmark nature can be seen from the Olumo Rock, one of the historic centres in Ogun State Nigeria It was built in 1925 on the site of the very first Mosque erected in the 1830s, on a piece of land donated by Oba Sodeke shortly after the Egbas had settled there. The irony is that this Islamic place of worship was designed by Afro-Brazilian returnees based on the architecture of the Baroque Colonial Churches in Brazil.
Abeokuta was founded around 1830 by Sodeke (Shodeke), a hunter and leader of the Egba refugees who fled from the disintegrating Oyo empire. The town was also settled by Christian missionaries (in the 1840s) and by Sierra Leone Creoles, who later became prominent as missionaries and as businessmen. In 1893, the Egba United Government(EUG) of Abeokuta was recognized as an independent nation by Britain. She had her own laws. Many developments were made until 1914, when it was amalgamated into Nigeria.Yorùbá: Mossalassi ti o tobi jẹ ẹya ti o ṣe pataki ni a le rii lati inu Oku Olumo, ọkan ninu awọn ile-iṣẹ itan ni Ogun State Nigeria Ọdun 1925 ni wọn kọ si aaye ti Mossalassi akọkọ ti wọn kọ ni ọdun 1830, lori ilẹ ti Oba ti fi funni ni ẹbun.
