ShymmexOBE: Well, I don't know much about the divisions. I just know Okupe, while Agbonmagbe is the family name, but some chose to use both names as a compound surname (Okupe-Agbonmagbe). The Agbonmagbe house is located at the Adekunle entry/exit of 3rd Mainland bridge just at the end of Herbert Macaulay Road Yaba. It's a house built by Doyin's father, the industrialist. Same Doyin's father also developed an estate in Maryland Lagos, called Okupe-Estate. All the houses are actually sold out but some are occupied by family. I believe there are 3 ruling houses, Agbonmagbe(Okupe), Amororo, never knew the 3rd. If you must know, my surname isn't either of those names, but I can trace my maternal links to Iperu Remo via the Okupe family amongst other popular families. Notable families from Iperu-Remo are Olushola (Late Amb. Segun Olushola), Ogunlesi, Adebutu (Kesington Adebutu of premier lotto - Baba Ijebu). It's been a while I've been to Iperu Remo. At least not in a decade. I'm no big uncle ooo, just a dude with a flair for world history, and charity has to begin at home. 11 Likes |

Octaves:No it wasn't. Nigeria was an underdeveloped, deprived hellhole under the whites. A footpath led to your village under the whites. Today under the blacks a tarred road leads to it, filled with cars. |

ROSSIKE: Good, my earlier comment was centred or limited to Nigerians way back then. That is why I said corruption, stealing and the likes were almost zero. |

ozodigboo:Free scholarship for how many people? 1 in 100? Today we don't need scholarships because post independence govts have built thousands of schools and 200 universities. What "better" power supply are you talking about? There were no power plants worthy of the name until after independence. The colonialists didn't even build a grid! The "several Europeans'' who lived in Nigeria then were holed up in pampered cocoons of comfort like Ikoyi from which blacks like you were barred, unless you were a servant. 4 Likes |
