Lagos Polo Club – Interview with David Adetokunbo Layoe

“Polo and horse riding has been a passion of mine for years. I’ve been involved with the polo club for about twenty years. I have served on various committees and I am now the president of the club. The polo club itself is over a hundred years old,” says David Adetokunbo Laoye, ECAD Architects, President of Lagos Polo Club.

“It is one of the oldest polo clubs in Africa and possibly one of the oldest polo clubs in the world. We have one of the oldest trophies in the world and we are very proud of that. It’s called the Kaiser Willem trophy. It was given to us by the Kaiser of Germany and as I don’t think they have Kaisers in Germany anymore you can imagine how old it is.”
