Baba Ijebu can also be seen as the basis of all lotteries in Nigeria today. After attracting a lot of people in the early 2000s, the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) was founded in 2005, four years after Premier Lotto.
The first private lottery in the country has been running for over two decades now, while a lot of lotteries founded earlier have fallen off.
‘Baba Ijebu’ is a name given to both the premier lotto and the founder, Sir Kensington Adebukunla Adebutu (Father of Segun Adebutu) who is an Ijebu indigene.
Today, the game is played all over Nigeria and Ghana by wealthy and ordinary men. Premier Lotto has millions of local kiosks and it is also available online. Their official website is babaijebu.ng
