Historical Analysis Of Ìrágbìjí Town - Osun State by Racoon(m): 8:27pm On Jul 30
The town of irágbìjí consists of 194 villages grouped into 22 districts, each governed by a Baale, who in turn is supported by chiefs. Irágbìjí is situated in Boripe Local Government, Osun State.

The Origin of the Name Ìrágbìjí

The name Ìrágbìjí originated from an encounter between Sunkúngbádé and Kasaun at the base of an Ira tree. At the time, the Ira tree was providing shade. When describing the location, they would say they were going to the foot of the Ira tree that has shade. "Ira" means tree and "Iji" means shade, which combined to form "Ìrá to gba Ìjí," eventually evolving into Ìrágbìjí.

krushdripper:
...Tinubu said on his inauguration that he knows most of us did not vote him so who voted him?? He is an unrepentant criminal, a tyrant with severe mental health issues hence he must go.

Such person doesn't deserve to occupy the highest office of any country. He should be somewhere in iragbiji keeping his great grand children & grand children company.
See his home that he left undeveloped to be claiming he built Lagos from the Atlantic ocean.
