Forum For Heritage Epe Town by Mouth123(m): 1:04pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
Proud to be a Lagosian from Epe, if you are from this town, just drop a comment and lets see how many of us are on Nairaland, and this is a platform to meet other indigenes. invite us to your events. Epe town has its own heritage. Epe town shares boundary with Ijebu Ode to the north, with Ikorodu and lbeju-Lekki in the west, while to the south it is bordered by the Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean and to the east by the creek to Benin River. Epe town is the capital of Epe Division, the largest of the five Administrative divisions of Lagos State, Nigeria. Other major towns in the area are Agbowa-Ikosi, Ilara, Eredo, Odoragusen, lbeju, e.t.c. To clear confusion this great land was founded between the 13th and 15th centuries by a band of migrant hunters led by Urakaloye (Huraka ). Epe and its coastal areas have two broad ethnic groupings, ljebu and Eko. Epe town has a number of cultural manifestations such as traditional festivals which includes: Okosi (Boat Regatta) Agemo Agbo (Agbo Remi-Reke) Ebi Kayo-kayo *Permit me to add the Ojude oba of Epe. All these festivals get tourist attractions. They serve as catalyst for commercial activities because their celebration usually attracts people from far and wide who ultimately get involved in fanfare and merrymaking. If you have such experience, you wont miss it for anything. Lagos State, particularly Epe Division is rich in culture and tradition. Generally, Epe people undertake strict observance of these festivals due to their belief that such can guarantee peace, stability, progress and good health.
