 Reflecting on the event’s success, Oludamola Adebowale, the founder of 1851 Agidingbi, remarked, “This momentous event served as a catalyst for enlightening visitors about a pivotal historical event: the bombing of Lagos in 1851, along with the gripping stories surrounding it. But this is only the beginning of the journey. The visionaries behind the project have ambitious plans to take the 1851 Agidingbi Chess Game to every corner of the globe, armed with state-of-the-art immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR).”

 The Erelu Kuti VI of Lagos, HRH Abiola Dosunmu  said: “I am happy we are telling our story. I must congratulate Oludamola for telling our story through chess, and all along where you have seen the game of chess depicted by foreign gladiators but this time, he has pitched the African gladiators against the invader.”

 The event served as a reminder of the historic 1851 Bombardment of Lagos by the British Naval Forces, effectively connecting the past with the present. Visitors were also taken on a journey through Lagos’ rich history, with the display of the prototype created in 2017 and revamped in 2023 serving as a powerful testament to the organisers’ planning.
