Colonial cities in the Africa of the twentieth century witnessed political and economic changes that aided infrastructural development. The First and Second World Wars also played significant roles in the social, political, and economic changes that occurred before the 1950s. Ibadan, a Yoruba city in south-west Nigeria, was greatly influenced by British colonialism. In the making of the city, several personalities contributed to its growth and development. Therefore, this paper examines the role of a World War veteran in the making of Ibadan city. The work analyses how one war veteran, Chief Thomas Adeogun Ojo (known as Ojo’Badan), contributed to social, political, and economic developments in colonial Ibadan. The work adopts the historical method by using the life and times of Ojo’Badan to explore changes in Ibadan city. Oral interviews, archival materials, books, and journals were used.
