However, no longer shall you be in the dark because we bring to you all the true colours of Herbert Olayinka Macaulay. From his loud critic of the British colonial administration, advocating the rights of Lagosians, to establishing the first organised political party in Nigeria. He left a legacy which earned him his position as the 'Father of Nigeria Nationalism'.
