Isaac Ladipo Oluwole

Isaac Ladipo Oluwole was a Nigerian doctor who made important improvements to the public health services in Nigeria.

Isaac Ladipo Oluwole was born around 1892, son of the Anglican bishop Isaac Oluwole and Abigal Johnson, a music teacher. His father was principal of CMS Grammar School, Lagos at the time he was born. He was raised in a christian household which was also influenced by the victorian lifestyle of Lagos in the eighteenth century. He briefly attended CMS Grammar School before moving to Kings College. He and James Churchill Vaughan were both among the pioneer students at Kings College, Lagos when it opened in September 1909. Oluwole was the first Senior Prefect of the School. Later Oluwole and Vaughan both went to the University of Glasgow in 1913 to study Medicine. The two students were conspicuous by their colour, and were subject to racial prejudice. Oluwole was called Darkness visible after the phrase from Miltons Paradise Lost.
