A 33-year-old Oluwole Olumuyiwa at his Architectural Firm in Lagos, c. 1962. Trained at the University of Manchester between 1949 and 1954, where he graduated with First Class honours in Architecture and City Planning, Olumuyiwa refined his craft across Europe. He gained valuable experience with firms such as Architects’ Co-Partnership in London, worked on modernist projects in Rotterdam with Van den Broek and Bakema, and contributed to new town developments in Emmen, Stevenage, and parts of Switzerland, including specialised training in hospital design. In 1958, he made history as the first Nigerian-trained architect to return home and establish a private practice. By 1960, he had founded Oluwole Olumuyiwa and Associates in Lagos, laying the foundation for indigenous architectural enterprise in post-colonial Nigeria. A pioneer in both practice and policy, Olumuyiwa became the first President of the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria, helping to formalise and regulate the profession. He also co-directed Africa’s first architectural review, The West African Builder and Architect, and represented Nigeria at international conferences, including the Commonwealth Association of Architects in 1964, where he later rose to leadership. His work lives on through the skyline of Lagos and beyond. From Eko Hotels and Suites to Crusader House on Martins Street, the Management House on Idowu Taylor Street, UAC Housing Developments, and several educational and civic buildings, Olumuyiwa helped shape the physical identity of post-colonial Lagos.

The 19 inverted pyramids on the roof are not just aesthetic — they are natural ventilation funnels that pull out hot air without air conditioning. Built in Yorubaland. Built to last. That should bother every architect building glass towers in Lagos today 📌

PRESS STATEMENT Think Yoruba First (TYF) RE: Rising Terrorism and Urgent Call for Decisive Government Action Think Yoruba First (TYF) expresses deep concern and profound sadness over the alarming escalation of terrorist activities across Nigeria. What began as sustained violence in Northern Nigeria over the past decades has now spread across the country, with Southern Nigeria increasingly becoming a new theatre of insecurity. While TYF maintains its principled support for the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT), based on our conviction in his qualifications and leadership capacity, we cannot remain silent in the face of a worsening national security crisis. For years, innocent Nigerians—particularly in the North and North Central—have suffered at the hands of jihadist groups operating under the guise of religious identity. Today, these threats have evolved beyond rural attacks and highway ambushes into coordinated assaults on government institutions, with clear signs of expansion into Southern Nigeria. The South West, once relatively insulated, is now experiencing increasing and persistent attacks. Recent incidents involving staff of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), as well as the breach of security within the Oyo State Forest Reserve, are stark and troubling indicators of a dangerous new phase in this crisis. These attacks are not isolated—they represent direct challenges to the authority and sovereignty of the Nigerian state. The abduction of citizens from their homes and even from government-controlled environments signals a deeply troubling trajectory toward widespread insecurity, including the looming threat of urban infiltration. Across the country, Nigerians are being killed, abducted, and forced to pay ransoms that wipe out lifelong savings. Families are being devastated, and public confidence in the government’s response continues to erode. The apparent inadequacy of current security measures has emboldened these terrorist elements, allowing them to expand their operations with increasing audacity. TYF reiterates its support for the success and reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, such support must be anchored in accountability, urgency, and measurable results. We therefore call on the Federal Government to: •Immediately reassess and strengthen national security strategies •Enhance intelligence gathering and inter-agency coordination •Deploy decisive military and law enforcement operations against terrorist enclaves •Prioritize the protection of vulnerable communities and critical national assets Nigeria stands at a critical juncture. Silence and inaction are no longer acceptable. The safety, dignity, and future of our people must take precedence over all other considerations. Signed Think Yoruba First (TYF) For National Security and Civic Responsibility

Yoruba language is the language of music, commerce and the aristocrats along the coast of West Africa in the 21st century. If we keep it up like this, the entire West Africa will speak our language in the next 100 years. Our ancestors gave us not a culture but a soft power that many civilisations will kill for. We must protect and empower it.
