Agege...Ageregerege. Meaning we shared it equally. This came about because three brothers inherited the land and shared it equally amongst themselves. 2. Alapere means where traders sell baskets 3. Oshodiit a corruption of the nupe name of the town Oshodee. This area was formerly a nupe enclave 4.Idiaba from idiaraba. Under the mighty tree ( araba) Arghh. I don't tire |

Ikotun. Though there is a story behind it's name, but to cut it short, the name was derived from "Ìkà Yí ò Tó", meaning This cruelty doesn't worth it. 1 Like |

1bkaye: I know but I like to think it only seem offensive if you think of it that way. What about "Victoria falls"? Or the naming of Nigeria being "Niger" and "area". Even though they pronounce the "Niger" different. Or the "Niger" river? Why I wonder when people get pissed when they call you "Niger", we have been called that for long but we can choose to put a definition to that name that will be of positive repute. #just saying. |

Vorpal:One may choose not allow the words in question to have an effect on them and that's fair enough but the history can never be ignored in my opinion and I personally choose not to ignore it or make the word 'positive'. |

1bkaye: History is history, one will not attain the full potential of the present if one is not unencumbered from the past. In the words of tyrion when he was speaking to Jon snow, "let me give you some advice bastard,never forget who you are. The world will never forget it,wear it like an armour and it will never be used to hurt you". |

Vorpal:Lol there's a difference between dwelling on it and still acknowledging and understanding what took place, especially when it still till this day has an impact on subsequent generations of blacks today. I hope you're not one of those people who thinks 'racism has ended' by the way lool |
