this is a great idea. i would suggest some notation to the fact they came from okemesi in ilesha but lived in abeokuta. we may have to ask dele/deji to please arrange to get pictures that may seem appropriate to them. best wishes.sunmolu
ReplyDeleteThese are Aunty Ades Comments and suggestion.
ReplyDelete"i am suggesting cocoa pod or cocoa tree or waterspring -----because 1 moses--was a merchant ,2 had a spring in his house which never goes dry and which benefitted all neighbours "
Thank you very much for your imput Aunty Ade and cousin Sunmolu. I really like the history insight.It serves as education for the younger generation and a reminder for the older generation.
ReplyDeleteI really would like to see more participation from everybody so that we can invite the next generation to join the blog.
There is so much we can learn from each other.

ReplyDeletecocoa---pod or tree,spring---welling up in 'Iho sooto' which also has snails

Dad, when he was alive, used the Unicorn to symbolize the Sasegbon family.
ReplyDeleteIho Sooto sounds like a torture chamber. With snails in the chamber, the slaves would have had a horrible time.
i do not think a reminder of slavery would e beneficial to the family history. it is one aspect we need to de-emphasize.we should not expose skeletons.sunmolu
ReplyDeleteMany thanks everybody for your thoughts, views and suggestions.Please keep them coming.Its getting very interesting.I LIKE IT !!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% cousin Sumolu. Nobody wants to be reminded of the horrible things that man has perpetrated on his fellow man.
ReplyDeleteI was in Ghana a couple of weeks ago and had the rare opportunity to visit one of the renowned slave castles. I guess that memory was still fresh in my mind.
I hope all is well with you and the family.
More comments and views are welcome.I have invited the next generation to climb on board. We would like to hear from you guys give us some of your wakky ideas or not !!!!! (laugh) we would like to hear what you've got.

Hi every one.
ReplyDeleteThe momentum seems to have slowed down a little on the family Logo topic.
Dele can you possibly get a picture of the family symbol (the Unicorn) so that we can use that.If there are no objections?
I guess once we have the picture we can then propose the use of it, and if seconded it would carry.
Kindly post your comments on this.
Thanks.
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteUncle Dele's idea about the unicorn sounds really good so I'm all for it!

I forgot how to find the site Eku ise to every oneIwent to sash library yesterday with folabi junior and had a good time It is not too far from my current office
ReplyDeleteWe can continue with the unicorn Love to all odiakosa
Hey everyone,
ReplyDeleteThis is Mrs Laide Sasegbon here, just a few points. The unicorn is quite an appropriate logo for the blog, because it is a symbol of strength and fortrightness, which the forefathers had in abundance. It is our duty to pass this strength and fortrightness to the oncoming generation. I will endeavour to make about 10 plaques with the Sasegbon coat of arms, when I get to Lagos, God willing. A member of each arm of the family can come and collect their copy. The family crest (the unicorn shield) can be found in the Sasegbon library which is in lagos at this address.
No 46 Akinsoji street,
Fadeyi – Igbobi Lagos.
Best Wishes,
Mrs Sasegbon and her grandson (typist)
