Ikorodu is located North-East of Lagos State along the Lagos Lagoon and it shares a boundary with Ogun State. As one of the most populous towns in Lagos State, Ikorodu’s population is estimated at about 2million people. The town is situated approximately 36km North of Lagos; bounded on the South by the Lagoon and shares a boundary with Ogun State in the North. While in the East, it has a common boundary with Agbowa-Ikosi, a town in Epe Division of Lagos State.
Ikorodu existed in the 17th century with early settlers’ who descended from the Remo stock of Yoruba tribe and settled on the plateau. The early settlers named their new found land Okorodu which was generated from two words ‘Oko’ and ‘Oodu’. Oko means farmland, while Oodu is a species of vegetable that predominantly grew on Ikorodu’s plateau. “Oodu was an edible vegetable just like pumpkin leaf (ugwu), bitter leaf and spinach” Chief Banjoko said. Over time the name Okorodu was later called Ikorodu.
Ikorodu belongs to Akarigbo from Sagamu and all lands from Sagamu to Ikorodu port belonged to Akarigo. Akarigbo was the king in Sagamu and he had eight sons who were; Ogarimade, Lasuwon, Rademo, Anoko, Ogbonyari, Ajegorishe, Sekomade, and Adiolapo. Akarigbo and his sons used the massive forest for farming activities and hunting expeditions. Chief Banjoko also explained why Ikorodu was also referred as Ikorodu Oga, he stated that, “Oga was one of the sons of Akarigbo and also an elephant hunter. Oga did not have a child of his own but he is regarded as the founder of Ikorodu because he discovered Ikorodu.”
We also discuss prominent Nigerians who are from Ikorodu like Folorunsho Alakija, Funke Akindele-Bello, TOS Benson, Folake Odulate, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Ayodele Oluwatuminu Awojobi, and a host of other great men and women.

This is priceless!
Many thanks for producing such an epic documentary and bringing such a rich story to life. Ikorodu is my hometown but I now live in the US with my intercultural family. Finally, I have something I can point the rest of my family to trying to understand and connect with our ancestry. In fact, growing up in Ikorodu notwithstanding, this is highly educational for me too.
I particularly love the distinction made in the documentary between faith and culture; making a case for we people of African descent to embrace our cultural identity and assets.
Many many thanks for helping to keep the story of Ikorodu alive.
Thank you

Is it true thqt the olisa are from the oliha of Benin kingdom
@@aizeeokundaye1975 I don’t know if you have any information let me know. The only thing l know is that we are from Benin and we are Yoruba.
@@demolaayorinde3599 like I wanted to know if it true
Cux some one from ijebu land told me the man is. Saying rubbish that no olisa is from Benin
@@aizeeokundaye1975 Olisa is from Benin Kingdom called Oliha is name is Rabugbawa
You should have checked the volume as it's impossible to hear the video......looked very interesting what a pity.
Thank you for the feedback. We have improved a lot in our production since 2020. Thank you again.
Please we want this in Yoruba language too
Nice story but the chiefs said something ikorodu king is the paramount ruler no he is not igbogbo had king before ikorodu ijede also had king before ikorodu as the mater of fact ijede king was one of Oduduwa warrior that flee during invasion of Lagos by the British government
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Can you please come on social media to tell us full history of yours.
I was expecting this man to mentioned about the Jagun of Ikorodu in all what he was saying but he didn’t... Say no more!
He can’t mention all.
full blooded ikorodu indigene
But despite with all these beautiful history and culture,
Its unfortunate that the indigenous people of Ikorodu has allowed the BASTARD Tinubu to take over control of their decision making of their city, simply because of token money that he normally offered their KINGMAKER.
Yorubas and tokens are 5&6
I'm telling you.
