THE AGBENEKUYÁ OF THE OMATSOLÁ ROYAL HOUSE, LAGOS – NIGERIA By: Dr. Christian-Sholá – The Pan-African Economist and Economic Advocate

In the heart of Lagos, the pulsating commercial capital of Nigeria, beats the royal legacy of The Agbenekuyá of The Omatsolá Royal House — a lineage rooted in the divine heritage of African kingship, wisdom, and destiny. Dr. Christian-Sholá, the distinguished bearer of this ancient title, stands as a bridge between the golden past of African sovereignty and the dawning age of continental economic renaissance.

Born of royal blood, his lineage traces an unbroken chain of divine rulership — from Atsé-Mudiará I, through Olú-Akengbuwa, the 16th Olu of Warri, to Olu-Ginuwa I, the first Olu of Warri and son of Oba-Oluá, the 14th Oba of Benin; further ascending through Eweka I, the first Oba of Benin, and Oranmiyán, the first Alaafin of Oyo, to Odùduwà (Olufé, Oghené, Ooni of Ifé) — the legendary progenitor of the Yoruba race.

This sacred bloodline flows not merely through veins, but through vision, valor, and vocation — a royal continuum of purpose that has found new expression in the modern economic and intellectual revival of Africa.

THE PAN-AFRICAN ECONOMIST AND ADVOCATE

Dr. Christian-Sholá is more than a name; he is a movement. As one of Africa’s most influential Pan-African economists, he has become the intellectual voice behind the continent’s push toward economic sovereignty and financial integration. Through his best-selling works — “AFRICURRENCY: The Path to Economic Integration in Africa” and “The African Economic Referendum” — he articulates a new economic philosophy founded on African unity, trade independence, and currency liberation.

His ideas have sparked what he calls the Re-Perception Awakening — a mental and spiritual revolution that challenges Africa’s youth to see their continent not through the eyes of dependency, but through the lens of divine potential, creative enterprise, and continental collaboration.

TAMARAH GROUP – a diversified conglomerate shaping Africa’s emerging markets.

SEMACO GROUP – innovators in energy, finance, and infrastructure development.

THE ROYAL LEGACY AND THE CONTINUUM OF PURPOSE

To understand Dr. Christian-Sholá is to trace the royal thread of African civilization itself. His ancestry is a living testimony of the interconnectedness of Africa’s great kingdoms — Benin, Warri, Oyo, and Ifé — each representing a dimension of wisdom, authority, and divine kingship.

In him, the royal DNA has evolved into a new kingship of knowledge — where the throne is not merely of gold, but of vision, service, and economic justice. As The Agbenekuyá (The Builder of Nations, The Reviver of Heritage), he stands as a custodian of the ancient yet modern covenant: that Africa shall rise again, not by foreign aid, but by divine wisdom, indigenous enterprise, and continental unity.

THE RE-PERCEPTION AWAKENING

Dr. Christian-Sholá teaches that the real emancipation of Africa begins in the mind. His doctrine of Re-Perception is both prophetic and practical — a call for Africans to see themselves anew as heirs of divine potential and architects of destiny.

> “Africa’s poverty is not the absence of gold or oil,” he writes, “it is the absence of perception. Until the African mind is re-perceived, the African economy cannot be reborn.” — Dr. Christian-Sholá

Through seminars, leadership forums, and intellectual advocacy, he is awakening the sleeping giant of African potential — guiding young thinkers, entrepreneurs, and leaders to align purpose with productivity, and heritage with innovation.

CONCLUSION: THE MAN, THE MISSION, THE MANDATE

As The Agbenekuyá of The Omatsolá Royal House, Dr. Christian-Sholá represents a sacred synthesis of ancestry and advancement — a royal economist with a prophetic mind, bridging kingdoms of the past with the economies of the future.

His life and work embody Africa’s divine trajectory: from royal heritage to intellectual rebirth; from colonial shadows to continental sovereignty.

Through his voice, books, and vision, he proclaims a timeless truth:

> “Africa is not a victim of history, but the architect of the future.” — Dr. Christian-Sholá

And as the drums of destiny beat across Lagos, Warri, Benin, and all Africa, the spirit of The Agbenekuyá continues to rise — building nations, reviving heritage, and awakening a generation to its royal economic destiny.
