SLIDEwaxie:
did u even knw that Alahusa is a yoruba name?
Just like Alalubosa?

Alahusa means the one who owns the hausas...

It comes into existence as a result of using hausas for labours by a particular individual!

They sought him for his workers, that's why he was named baba alawusa..

So, stop displaying ur ignorance!
AbdH:
Alawusa is named after walnut. Walnut is called awusa or asala and it is believed to have grown in that part of Ikeja before civilization.
You may want to compare your position with that of AbdH.

Have you seen how you keep disgracing yourself and Jonathan in every turn. An empty head should not be around where intelligent discussions are made.

You guys should stop arguing about Alahusa, Alahusa is a name of place in Lagos just like Marina, Oshodi, Ikeja, Yaba etc... The Lagos Govt house is refer to (ROUND HOUSE) and not Alahusa house.

Is Round House not the office of the Governor?

Enugu is LION BUILDING not house
Bayelsa is CREEK HAVEN not house

Both is understandable Enugu govt. House has a relation to UNN mascot which is a lion, the seat of govt of old Easter region, the capital of defunct country of Biafra- which was declared in Princes Alexandra Auditorium UNN. Igbos see lion as a symbol of might, royalty and rulership.

Bayelsa govt house has the beautiful scenery of Yenagoa Creeks at its back yard.
Thanks

Give a slave one reason why he should quit slavery he will give you twenty reason to continue in servitude.

that is the same way some ppl left their national sonship party (apga) and turned themselves to slaves and asss-leakers with their two eyes opened by joining the same awusa party (pdp).

And for your information, you eediot, lagos govt house is not called alawusa house; it is called ROUND HOUSE. and there is no place called alawusa in lagos; it is called ALAHUSA. and alahusa doesn't refer to hausa tribe. It is taken from the name of a nut (a plant). I hope you now realize how empty headed you are. Òpònú!

I wish I cld give the intonation to differentiate these two terms:

Alawusa is different from alahusa..

Ikeja is alahusa not alawusa but most pronounced now as alawusa..

Awusa is an edible crop, ahusa is yoruba pronunciation of hausa..

The ala there is 'the owner'..
