Onigbongbo- Maryland

In all honesty, I can tell you for real what the name entail. However, I am more concerned with the way it sounds when pronounced. Go on, try it, O-ni-gbon-gbo.

Don’t bite your tongue.


Onipanu- Along Yaba-Ikorodu road

Unlike Onigbongo, I think Onipanu means some one who trades in aluminum and building materials. So you can be sure that there is/was a popular “onipanu” to earn it a place as a popular bus-stop in Lagos.

  1. There’s ‘Abule Tailor’ (Tailor’s village, literally, lol)and ‘Salolo’ on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and ‘Agbo malu’ (which means cow arena) on the road that leads to Ajegunle, off Marine Beach in Apapa.
