Two things, either you have a personal problem with the Aworis, or you really don't understand their origin as a people. The Aworis are Yorùbás. This is just the Gospel truth.

1. The Awori constitute the bulk of the indigenous population of seventeen, out of the twenty local government areas of Lagos State as at the year 2003. The exceptions being Epe, Ikorodu and Ibeju-Lekki with minimal Awori inhabitants.

2. Oro, Egungun, and Gelede festivals among the traditional Awori communities are celebrated as people celebrate modern Sallah and Christmas with indigenes trooping back home from far and near when dates are fixed. This tells you that most of the Yorùbá festivals, masquerades and cultures IN LAGOS are indeed the Aworis.

3. The Badagry area is important historically to Awori people because it is one of the first places to have had contact with the outside world. It was at Badagry town that Christianity was first preached in Nigeria in September 1842.

4. The english translation of “Awori” is “The Plate Sank”. This name was derived from the legend of a floating dish which Ogunfunminire (their ancestor) allegedly followed from Ile-Ife down to Isheri. It was the disappearance of the dish into a river that suggested settlement in the region.

5. The plate initially stopped near Olokemeji near present-day Abeokuta.After seventeen days, it began moving only to stop at Oke-Ata for another seventeen days. At the end of seventeen days, the plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present-day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days. The plate continued downriver, stopping again at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time. After 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again. The plate stopped finally at at Iddo in central Lagos, it whirled around in the water and sank to the bottom

Most of these information are not new to me. However, I needed to post this to let you know. I was privy to a handful of them in the late 90s. I'm sure tons of articles litter the cyber space now.

Intelligent!

LOL... So you actually believed that? What is the relationship of Epe with core parts of Lagos? Epe that is on the outskirt and almost in Ogun state.

I haven't really thought about it before though but I know Alausa used to be 'Abúlé Jogunosinmi', which later changed to 'Abúlé Tapa' and much later to 'Alausa', due to the influx of the Hausas. Unfortunately, our poor record keeping culture would be a primary reason why the name Ikeja may not really move us since its origin is unknown to almost all Lagosians.

IKEJA is said to be named after an Awori hunter known as Akeja Onigorun. He was a successful hunter who was celebrated within the Awori clan of the Yoruba people, hence the present name Ikeja the state government seat of Lagos. This is just one of the many stories backing the origin however, no octogenarian or historian till tomorrow has been able to come on TV to explain the name. Again, it goes ahead to show how bad we are at keeping records as a people.

This is very disheartening.

bros suffery dey spread misinformation Na....

Alausa is mispronounced to mean Hausa people.

it is actually pronounced with a lot of stress on the words like Yoruba names. Alausa is a Yoruba word.

I'm really tired going back and forth with this. for the umpteenth time, the Yoruba language is a tonal language and it is very easy to distort a word or its meaning using Yoruba.
