Luiz Gama, precursor of the abolitionist movement in Brazil
Copyist, lawyer, journalist, poet, abolitionist and revolutionary Luiz Gonzaga da Gama Pinto was one of Brazil's most active personalities in our history. Intellectual self-taught was a fervent abolitionist and a fleeting poet who is still unfairly banned reactionary of academic circles.
"The Emperor recognized his achievements on behalf of the nation during the war and listened to her pleas. He advocated greater political participation of blacks and an end to corporal punishment. Said proud "to be black." Was a "friend of the whites", but not all, of those who only knew "that the value is not in color." He ended his articles with expressions in Latin, Yoruba and Portuguese, as proof of his racial identity. Opinions are divided: for some, was pixilated. Freed slaves and respectfully called him Prince Oba, a reference for those seeking freedom."

Juliano Moreira was physician and one of the pioneers of psychiatry in Brazil
Interesting, we seldom here something like this coming from Brazil.
Ps, I remember in Nubia, Elephant island. There was a boat with a Brazilian flag on it. Such dedacation means a lot of Brazilians go there, since other boats had no flag or just local flags. I think I have it somewhere in my picture collection.

I had asked the same question myself.
But then I read that Dom Oba claimed that he was the grandson of King Abiodun of Nigeria.
He autographed his papers as such.
A man's testimony is often the most direct evidence of his claim.
Dom Oba was treated as a royal dignitary by King Pedro II of Brazil, his friend, who explicitly recognized the royal lineage of Dom Oba.
His contemporaries recognized him as a Nigerian prince.
Unless you are suggesting that Dom Oba's words should be disregarded, or that the commonly held view of the people of his time, that he was a Nigerian prince, was wrong.
Oba is a Nigerian Yoruba word for King.
