BiographyBandele Omoniyi was born in Lagos, in present-day Nigeria, and his parents sold their land to finance his studies in Britain, where Omoniyi first went in 1905. Enrolling at Edinburgh University in 1906 to study law, he eventually gave up his studies as he became increasingly involved in political activities, taking up anti-imperial journalism in socialist, Scottish and Nigerian publications.[4] He wrote to various British politicians, including the Prime Minister, Henry Campbell-Bannerman, and the future Labour Party leader Ramsay MacDonald, demanding representation for Africans in the colonies. In 1907 Omoniyi criticised colonial rule in a series of letters to the Edinburgh Magazine. He also wrote articles for the West African press, and in 1908 published his major work, A Defence of the Ethiopian Movement, in Edinburgh, dedicating it "to The Right Honourable and Honourable Members of the British Parliament".[5] Omoniyi later moved to Brazil around 1910, where he was subsequently arrested for his political activities. He refused assistance from the British Consul.[6] Imprisoned, he contracted beriberi and died, aged 28.[5] References1. ^Kevin Shillington, [https://books.google.com/books?id=Ftz_gtO-pngC&pg=PA349 Encyclopedia of African History], Volume 1, Fitzroy Dearborn, 2005, p. 596. {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Omoniyi, Bandele}}2. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=JPCKe-X7d3EC&pg=PA109 David Killingray, Africans in Britain, Frank Cass & Company, 1994, p. 109.] 3. ^Hakim Adi, [https://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/722845?uid=3738032&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=21101341855267 "Bandele Omoniyi--A Neglected Nigerian Nationalist"], African Affairs, Vol. 90, No. 361 (October 1991), pp. 581–605. 4. ^Jeffrey Green, Black Edwardians: Black People in Britain 1901-1914, Frank Cass Publishers, 1998, p. 147. 5. ^1 Hakim Adi, "Omoniyi, Bandele", in David Dabydeen.
