At Cocoa House in Ibadan on August 7, 2026, Goldberg Lager unveiled a monumental talking drum installation above the iconic building, bringing one of Yoruba culture’s most recognisable symbols to one of Nigeria’s most historic structures. The talking drum has long played a role in Yoruba communication, celebration and storytelling, while Cocoa House, completed in 1965, remains a landmark of indigenous enterprise. Today, the Goldberg Talking Drum extends that legacy as a living celebration of Yoruba heritage. Cocoa House has stood over Ibadan for more than six decades, witnessing the growth of a city that has played an important role in Nigeria’s history. From Ibadan, the talking drum has found a new place to speak.
