Aareonakakanfo: Have never being to London but I hear one of my uncle says he takes metro train to work everyday, a journey of 3hrs hence my view. Abi how many hrs journery is Ilorin to Lagos. I also witness man hrs wasted on Ikorodu road, while the inland water ways is under utilised. For instance we have pple living in Ijede when their place of work is VI. |

Funjosh: I did answer your question. I said not just the Akoko are Yoruba but also many other tribes not well covered in Samuel Johnson history which centred on Oyo empire. Tale the Ogongo Magori ,Igala, Olukumi and the Bini royal houses |

IlekeHD: Efunsetan. she was not a queen. She was very mean because she did not have any child. She was very rich and powerful. She has many slaves and she was always maltreating them. She was the Iyalode. More or less like the Leader of women. Then, she was controlling the route between Eko and Ibadan. The egbas and ibadan always deal directly in trade through her. she was an agent/middleman. She usually takes a certain percentage from both sides. She was bold, confident and very intelligent. I do not know whether she wwas pretty sha.lol |

superstar1: I think you have to blame Nigeria for that. The Itsekiri one is the funniest one, especially when they speak Yoruba and they still have clan that're proper Ijebu waterside clans. Heck, their history shows that they're Yoruba. As for Akoko, I don't know much about them - so won't dabble into a topic I'm clueless about. Then with Kwara - I think Yorubas need to allow Ilorin folks join the North. Those folks have nothing to offer Yorubas, not even resources. I don't even see the as Yorubas, to be honest. 1 Like |

Funjosh: Train, ke?? In Nigeria?? In fact, anytime I think about rail transportation in this country, I feel like crying. The management of NRC needs to be overhauled. Arogunmasa: Yes, the waterways are grossly underutilised in Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Ondo states. If you know the potentials being lost because the waterways are not fully tapped, you would be sad. ![]() Lagos has even tried to some extent. They have constructed over 57 concrete jetties from Epe to Ebute-Ero, Ikorodu to Badagry. They have also licensed almost 18 boat operators to carry out water transport within the state. But this isn't enough. The operators have very few boats. I think only about 2 of them have boats that exceed 10 units. ![]() Others have fewer boats which are not well maintained. ![]() ![]() If I had some mega bucks, I would just buy up the sea front property in Iwopin, build some luxury homes, leisure centres, conference centres, helipad and shopping malls, then connect everyone by boat/ferry to Lagos Island and Lekki areas in Lagos. ![]() 2 Likes
