Igbos and Yorubas, please unite. We have more important things to struggle for, like the attempts to take ethnic and ancestral lands of the South for cattle grazing reserves. |

bantudra: Almost correct. See correct answer below In Portuguese, the word means Lakes. Most likely as a result of the lagoons there. EKO is local name of the area known as Lagos, at some point in their history, the indigenous people of Lagos paid homage or tax to the Bini empire, the Oyo empire or the British empire. Now, it is a state and they pay homage or tax to the federal government of Nigeria. Nothing new here @OP the word Lagos is not a Yoruba word. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |
