Ogun State,was giving the name when Lagos State was still the Federal Territory Capital.Look at it critically,from Lagos to other states,you will pass through Ogun State.And from other States to Lagos State you will pass through Ogun state.

@Bawaa
You have a point there. But what happens now that lagos is no longer the capital.
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by AmeLonRo(m): 9:16am On Jul 26, 2011
This is a good topic indeed ad we need to face the topic to move ahead. Ekiti state recently changed their state 'slogan'. Bad mouthing ' winkthe state of harmony' and the 'confluence state' is not a good thing at all. We have very credible minds there you know!

Because she has produced many "firsts" in Nigeria.
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by chino11(m): 9:35am On Jul 26, 2011
Ogon is a rural state, like every other state in yorubaland grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by loverboy4(m): 9:40am On Jul 26, 2011
Ogun is Gateway because you have to pass through(by land) to get to lagos from anywhere in Nigeria. Lagos being the largest commercial centre in Nigeria attracts people from diifferent part of the country. Copy?
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by aldotun(m): 9:47am On Jul 26, 2011
Ogun is called Gateway State, because when the Europeans came into Nigeria, every Territory fought with them, and the first settlement without issues was Ogun State, they were independent long before Nigeria, so because of this, they were refered to as the Gateway to the Nation.
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by Akanbiedu(m): 9:56am On Jul 26, 2011
I don't think its about roads.
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by Finecat(m): 10:55am On Jul 26, 2011
Because they always "get away" with looting the treasury, look at Obasanjo, Gbenga Daniels, Bankole (Thick Lips) etc.
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by pynkspyce: 12:07pm On Jul 26, 2011
It probably sounded good at the time. Maybe "gateway to the grave by road" like some other poster said.

Many thanks to all that believed Ogun is s Gateway State. Kudos
Re: Why Is Ogun The Gateway State by byoolaleye(m): 2:40pm On Jul 26, 2011
Maybe they should have change it anyway, but it was a way in and exit to lagos when Lagos was still the capital of the country, You have to go through lagos when u going or coming to any part of the country.

@ Ileke,

Porto Novo Is the Capital of Benin Republique, less than 25 minutes drive to Badagry Seme Border.
The Yorubas in Benin are called Ajase ( Ajacheh ) My dad's grand ma came to Lagos from Porto Novo.
