THE BRIEF HISTORY OF KEGITES CLUB


UNITY IN DIVERCITY

BY: LSF. China of illya du imobraska


The kegites club or the palm wine club   

is the most popular socio-cultural club in the Nigeria. The club
originated from the University of Ife ile ife (now
known as obafemi awolow university). The club was
formally formed in (1962). The club had it`s 1st chief
in the person of PROFESSOR OLUSEGUN ADESHINA

 The then members of the club included the Eternal Life Patrons (ELPs) Late Obafemi Awolowo and Late Tai Solarin both of blessed memories. While the club Grand Patrons includes two-time former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,GCFR and The 51st Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II and other notable Nigerians.
The first world chief is PROFESSOR SEGUN ADESINA. He was coroneted in 1962 and reign till 1966. He died on 16 January,2015 aged 74 years.

.
Incidentally, since the formation, the club has under
gone various kinds of transformation, for instance
the club had it 1st female member (okpeke) in the
person of L.S.F DUKPE AJAY, she was the 1st
female to join the club in (1968). In (1974), the club
started spreading to other schools in Nigeria with
Ilya Du Tractor (Federal College of Agriculture Akure
Ondo State Nigeria) as the first Ilya to get a Keg of
Office (accreditation) from the World Headquaters.
While the first Ilya to get a Keg of Office in Imo-Abia
hemisphere is Ilya du Kokoroko (Fed. University of
Agric. Umudike, Abia State).

In 1986, Chief ANTHONY UZODINMA OGIDI became
the first and only Igbo man to be made a World Chief
and it was during his one year reign that the name of
the Club was changed from Palm Wine Drunkards
Club to Kegites Club. This change was basically
because members of the club were being connoted
to be drunkards and irresponsible people. The club
also modified its motto from the initial Palm wine, the
Basis of African Unity and World Peace to 'Unity in
Diversity'.
Form inception, Kegites Club has remained one
supreme club with branches in almost all institutions
of higher learning both in Nigeria and other parts of
the world. As at this day, the club has over one
hundred (100) Ilyasis in Nigeria and overseas.
Outside Nigeria, we have in the United Kingdom (Ilya
Du Queen), India (IlyaPojab) etc. That is why today
the club is proudly revered with the nickname
SupremostComradiumKegites Club International.
Late ObafemiAwolowo was the Eternal Grand Patron
of the club and was succeeded by Ex-President
OlusegunObasanjo. Also other eminent people in our
society have identified with club as committed
members. The present Deputy Governor of Rivers
State, Chief Tele Ikuru is a chief of RSUST
